Here's some info about me... not the run-of-the-mill stuff, but moderately interesting stuff...
I can't watch certain horror movies because I HATE to be scared.
Although I have three cats and no other animals, I like cats and dogs equally.
I'm afraid of spiders and heights, but both of those fears I can overcome in most situations. My worst fear, though, is a fear of being afraid and not being able to handle a situation. That one, plus a fear of having blood drawn and a bit of white coat syndrome, are both total irrational phobias.
I tend to rename my friends with an appropriate (or not-so-appropriate) nickname. Here are some examples: Feather, Lynxie, Snappy, Monkey, Stinky. It can take a very long time for me to give someone a nickname, normally years, but once I've decided what your nickname will be, I'll hardly ever call you anything else. I also tend to call people by their last name if they have a particularly catchy last name.
I am half Finnish. My mother immigrated here when she was three. To complicate things, she was born in Sweden (but is of Finnish descent).
I didn't change my name when I got married. Not for political reasons, but because I simply felt no need to change it.
I have a particular dislike for most children, although I do not blame children in general rather the bad parenting of some.
I love maki, but will only eat the real raw fish kind in Japan. In Canada I refuse and only eat the veggie stuff and occasionally the cooked fish type.
I speak English, French and some Finnish. I can also fumble my way through a very very simple Spanish conversation if the other party speaks slowly enough. I am trying to learn Arabic and would love to learn Japanese.
Having an Aussie husband and having traveled to Australia twice now, I know what an echidna is, why it's okay to eat kangaroo (if you're going to eat meat at all), the sound a kookaburra makes and all of the Aussie states, territories and capitals.
My next post will be about travel.
To conclude, all comments on this post are going to be screened. So, if there's anything you ever wanted to know about me, ask it now. If it's not a particularly personal issue, I'll include my answer in a public post. If it is, you may get a response anyway but I'll keep it private. Or I may not answer at all.
