25 things you didn't know about me:

so my sister over at muddyboots did a '7 things about me' post, and seems that she wanted to know things about me, and so i decided to indulge her. but i also figured that it would be a fun little way for y'all to get to know me.

1- in high school, i had my french teacher believing that she owed me pizza. for 3 months i never had to bring a lunch on thursdays!

2- i could spend HOURS in shoppers drug mart (i have an embarrassing obsession with crayola).

3- i once auditioned for canadian idol... don't judge me.

4- i have 37 pairs of shoes!!!

5- as a child, i wanted to be Rainbow Brite (like my new profile picture?). i own almost all the dolls (i'm missing Murky and Lurky *hint hint amy, and all your ebay wisdom*), and i am now the current owner of the COMPLETE SERIES of Rainbow Brite AND the only Rainbow Brite movie, Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer!

6- i LOVE brie cheese!

7- although people don't know it, it makes them very happy when matt and i start singing 'party in the USA' at work.

8- i don't pluck my eyebrows anymore... i use an eyebrow razor (hurray for korean ingenuity)!

9- donalbain, my 15-year old cat (may he rest in peace), used to leave me presents outside my door... they were usually dead mice. YUCK!

10- dear cable: i don't like carlos from cake boss. i want more duff!

11- i am not an organized person by any means, but when it comes to taking notes, if i don't like my writing or i make a spelling mistake, i will re-write the entire page.

12- i love raw cauliflower, but have recently renewed my love affair with baby carrots!

13- my four favourite TV shows are: criminal minds, csi: miami, six feet under, and dr. quinn medicine woman (sully is my dream man).

14- i truly believe that paget brewster and i could be best friends. that's so lame, but i really think we could be!

15- i have a confession: i really like katy perry's music.

16- i used liquid eyeliner and fake eyelashes for the first time the other day! now THAT was a process!

17- i could spend hours watching the barrett-jackson auto auction and mythbusters.

18- i have the BIGGEST crush on horatio caine, but i think that david caruso is a total loosebag!

19- i have never downloaded or pirated movies. stealing is a crime!

20- i love to crochet, which reminds me, i need to finish my moms blanket i started for her for christmas.

21- i like to answer the phone at work with other people's names. it's funny when the call is for me!

22- i haven't had a doughnut in 17 years. true story!

23- i ♥ miley cyrus! i know all the moves to the Hoedown Throwdown!

24- my car's name is onyx, after the black mechanical flying horse that was owned by orin (which also happens to be the name of my first car), the oldest and wisest of the sprites who lived on spectra (the kind of car's i've owned), the diamond planet that gave light to the whole universe in Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer (i told you i loved her).

25- i colour my hair to cover up my grays! i will never get plastic surgery, but screw getting old gracefully!

so there you have it! a little bit about me and who i am. i know it's not very deep, but everything is true! but now it's off to bed because my job shadow starts TOMORROW!!!

ixnay on the inalsfay! YAY!!!

OMGosh (look amy, it's your friend CAPS)!!! it seems like this day has been 6 months in the making, wait... it has indeed been 6 months in the making! i think it is high time i move on from this dreary, boring, destitute chapter i've been living and get into some exciting new things and adventures.

today at 9:25am marked the end! the end of what seemed like a neverending drought! I. AM. DONE (hi again, amy)!!! no more! finished. done. ixnay on the inalsfay because I. AM. DONE!

FINALS. ARE. OVER!!! you have no idea how excited i am! this morning when i work up (late because my brain was going into an information overload), i was anything BUT excited. but now that i am home, now that it is actually over, my mushed up brain and charley horsed elbow are beyond BEYOND excited! i honestly thought this day would never come. i mean, at the beginning of january, february 10th seemed so far away... now it is here and it is leaving and i. am. happy!

and now that this ANNOYING chapter in this journey is over, a new one must commence because that's just how it's done. this new chapter will be entitled: 18WEEKSINAFUNERALHOMEOMGoshIAMSOEXCITED!!! and trust me, you don't want to miss that!

monday (or maybe tuesday, haven't yet hashed out the fine details) will mark the beginning of what i hope to be the best time of my life! i don't know, it still strikes me as a little off that spending time in a prep room massaging dead peoples arms and legs to get the "juices" flowing, is my idea of the best time ever, but to each their own, right? i am so excited! have i mentioned that yet? one of these days, 20 years from now, when i open up my own funeral home, Eagle Wings Funeral Home, everyone will understand and realize that... well, y'all will realize something and it will be hugely profound, i have no doubt.
