All right, since Kris and Neicy have both managed to get through this, I should at least give it a try. Please try not to fall asleep, lol...
1. I'm near-sighted. I wear my glasses every waking hour of my day.
2. I have lived in the same area all my life (within 20 km)
3. I drive a 1995 Honda Accord. It's a love/hate relationship...I love it, it hates me.
4. I am a control freak.
5. I am an athiest. My father was raised Jehovah's Witness, my mother was Anglican...they let me make my own decisions about religion.
6. I hate onions, brussel sprouts and eggs. Other than that I will eat almost anything. Kinda like a trash compactor.
7. I have a nose ring.
8. I have an irrational fear of snakes.
9. I am not an outdoors person.
10. As a infant/toddler I would literally curl myself up in a ball if someone tried to put me down on grass or dirt so my hands and feet wouldn't get dirty. My mom still can't figure that one out.
11. I have a major fear of crowds. It's only been after a lot of self-motivation that I have been able to go shopping by myself.
12. I am very sensitive about what others say to me and get easily upset.
13. I drink alcohol about once a year, if that.
14. I was a high school dropout. I eventually received my GED when I was 22.
15. I worked as a school age childcare supervisor for 5 years.
16. My first job was a cashier at a convenience store.
17. My parents divorced when I was 14. I have not been the same person since.
18. My favourite colours are purple and green.
19. I am an extremely assertive person in my professional life and a very indecisive, nervous person in my personal life.
20. I love to read.
21. I am a speed reader.
22. I have way too much mental illness in my life (myself, my mother, my fiance).
23. I was named after a neighbour from my mother's childhood. My mom had a terrible upbringing but this neighbour showed her kindness.
24. My descent is quite the mix. My dad's side is Scottish (his dad) and English/Native Canadian (his mom). My mom's side is all English.
25. I look like my two grandmothers smooshed together.
26. My father has seven brothers. I have 16 cousins on his side alone.
27. My favourite pet was my dog Peanuts. She was a pomeranian-poodle. I still cry when I think about her. We had to have her put down when I was 16 (she was 13).
28. I love to swim (as long as no one else sees me in a swimsuit).
29. I love boating. We had a gorgeous 19' bowrider when I was in my early teens and I loved being on it. It got sold in the divorce.

34. Okay, I am so boring...
35. I love trying new foods, especially from different ethnicities.
36. I wish I was like Kris and could wear jeans to work everyday-that would be awesome!
37. I love sandals. I only own 2 pairs of shoes and one pair of boots, but at least 20 pairs of sandals. And in my lovely climate, I can only wear then for a few months. Go figure.

40. And comic books.
41. Yes, I am a geek.
42. I can spend a ridiculous amount of time playing the Sims 2 on my computer.
43. I love the name Rowan. If the rare chance happens that I have a little girl, that will be her name.

45. I am awesome at music trivia.
46. I was a very bad girl rom the ages of 14-16.
47. I used to smoke socially as a teenager but luckily never got addicted. I haven't touched one since I was 17.
48. I have a vivid imagination. Probably from so many years of playing by myself as a child.
49. I am an only child.
50. My mother was from Windsor and my dad from Kingston (one is 300 kms south-west and the other is 300 km north-east) so I don't see much of my family.
51. I hate bugs.
52. I love to sleep and nap.
53. Especially in the awesome king-sized bed I bought a couple of years ago. I could just stay in there all day.
54. I have only been on an airplane once, to go to Florida with a family friend when I was 10.

71. In grade school my nickname was the Walking Dictionary because I could just about anything.
72. I am not a good typist, though.
73. I lived on welfare when I was kicked out on my own at 18. I would not wish that experience on my worst enemy.
74. I went bankrupt a couple of years ago. It is my biggest shame and I have nothing to show for it.

76. I have brown hair and brown eyes...boring! Hence why I like to dye my hair.

lol!! thank you so much for doing this!! what's funny is after i read yours, i though of other things i could write...amazing, huh?
i filed bankruptcy once...was a terrible experience...
this was so interesting!! thanks again for sharing!
Wow...I think you did great. I would use an explanation point, but it is not working on my supposedly "indestructible" keyboard. :)
Bipsy is just like what you said about yourself...confident at work and not confident in her personal relationships. The first time I saw her interact with her significant other, I almost passed out. It was a shock. She can slice and dice the guys out in the plant and serve them their own heads on a platter, but she can't stand up to someone she loves.
I don't think space is far enough away for Paris Hilton. ;)
Many of my friends have filed bankruptcy. Sometimes I think I should have. Having "slow pay" on one's credit report can be just as humiliating...and hard to get good interest rates. Plus the bill collectors harrass you until you want to choke yourself with the phone chord.
There is so much mental illness in both Robert's and my side of the family that they pretty much told us we never should have combined our genes. There was not enough room on the form they gave us to list the mental illness in our families. My mom, his mom, my dad, his dad, my brothers, his brothers. Our sisters are all normal. Hmmm.....
We made good looking kids, but they are apparently all ticking time bombs of mental instability. ;)
I am a speed reader, too. Took a class on it in high school. It came in handy in book reports.
I've never flown.
Brown eyes are my favorite color eyes.
When my mother was alive, she constantly tried to commit suicide. I was sure she would die by her own hand.
I used to have sunglasses to match every outfit. I sat on them and broke them all. I will go to the local flea market this summer and restock my supply. :)
Springtime and autumn are my fav. seasons, too.
Your list was extremely interesting, and I am so glad you did it. It's amazing how much it made me think to do mine. ;) go ellie!!!!!! yay!!!!! the key works again!!!!! yay!
P.S. Two of my best friends' middle names are marie. Make that three now! ;)
I filed bankruptcy. When I got out of a bad relationship and took on a rent payment I coulnd't pay my bills and the credit cards we had racked up together and the other 1/2 wasn't paying their share so I filed. BEST thing I ever did. It truly saved my butt and three years later my credit score was so high the bank couldn't believe it! I bought my house and now all is good again!
Tim does our dishes.
The deal was I cook, he cleans. WORKS!
Funny, I'm the opposite of you as I can shred someone I love to pieces but a total stranger I have compassion for. What's with that?! A total BIG fault of mine for sure!
