(ganked from all over the place)

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal, if you feel like it.

I think we've met perhaps once, via meowse, at a Baycon. Part of me is wondering "what, if anything, does she really want to know about me?"

I'm a veterinarian, cat lover, and human being by genetic definition, with two X chromosomes. I live up in the middle of the Santa Cruz mountains in the cabin that my father inhabited after my parents split up when I was 6. I vowed that I would never go through a divorce, and spent 10 years with the same guy before finally getting over my commitment issues to marry him. 5 years later, we divorced. Yes, I'm still bitter about it all.

I despise the flavor and texture of mushrooms. I would gorge myself sick on Almond Roca and fresh strawberries if I didn't know any better. When I was young, I once made myself violently ill when I overate chocolate candy one Halloween, and anytime I eat rich foods I need to take care to not overeat lest I spew.

I try to be responsible about finances, especially since I'm the main wage-earner of my tiny family unit (1 boyfriend, 1 miniature horse, 3 cats). I've actually socked some away in a IRA and pray that I will have enough when I get too old to work. I do not get along well with babies unless they are sleeping, and sometimes have to quash my urges to kick young children until they stop breathing. I would not make a good parent, and realize this, and plan to have my tubes tied sometime in the near future. As I'm in my mid-30s, I figure the medical establishment shouldn't have a problem with this.

I've had a fun time doing free-association on your journal entry.

I think we'd actually met at a couple of cons before that, via caprine or patgund.

I am allergic to strawberries; they used to be my favorite food. I made myself sick on Easter candy once.

I've occasionally thought I'd like to have a miniature horse, but I don't know if that's realistic for me or not. I do know I won't have appropriate space for many years, if ever. I'd like to know more about them, though.

I like kids, and wouldn't mind being more involved in the raising of one or more, but I'm a bit scared of the whole pregnancy process, enough that I'm not 100% sure I want my own biokids.
