way more than you ever wanted or needed to know about me

found this one on [under construction]

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? there's one that you'd never see unless i pointed it out to you. it's on the fleshy pad of my palm, just below the thumb, on my left hand. it's a burn scar. when i was a small baby, i was very fussy. my mother was trying to cook some dinner & i wouldn't stop crying so she picked me up. i was still crying when she went to add pasta to a pot of boiling water & i did the arched-back thing that babies do & put my hand right into the pot of boiling water straight to the bottom of the pot. it's amazing but all i have is one very subtle scar & the rest healed perfectly.

2. NAME 7 THINGS IN YOUR ROOM: which room? they are all mine for the most part...ok how about THIS room. a bunch of framed photos of my Catherine-girl. a vanilla scented candle. scrapbook supplies waiting to get packed for the move(s). my Christmas cds. my WDW scrapbook. some empty luggage. this really cool piece of crystallized sand that our phosphate mine sales rep brought back for me from where lightning struck the sand at one of the mines he was selling some of our work to.

3. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE? nope sorry, no cell phone here. much to Michelle's dismay as she is very concerned i could get trapped in It's A Small World with the singing dolls...or get presented with an opportunity to move into Cinderella Castle & not be able to call her.

4. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO? lots of stuff. everything from country to rock. pop to light rock. alternative to Broadway musical. piano solos to Christmas music.

5. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN? 10:57am

6. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THE MOST IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS? being done with this move

7. WHAT DO YOU MISS? Baby Girl. my CT girls. Autumn in New England. the first snowfall of the year. my grandparents. my Dad. *looks around at all the stuff i need to start packing* being at work (LOL!)

8. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION? prized?? i don't know that i have anything prized. but my computer is mighty important.

9. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL? freshly showered man. freshly bathed baby. vanilla. apple cinnamon. fresh cut pine. late night or early morning in the Winter in CT. orange blossoms.

10. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC? depends on what or WHO i am closed into a small space with.

11. IF YOU DIED TOMORROW: it would really suck. but it would get me out of packing & moving. (ok i was *kidding* about the 2nd part. i swear. i hate to tempt Fate.)

12. THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE YOU CRY?: me. i was the last person to make me cry. and i don't want to talk about it.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME? for who? on a guy--i have always liked Woods by Abercrombie & Fitch (couldn't even tell you if they make it anymore since i haven't had to buy it in years). for me--i don't wear perfume but i do wear scented lotion from Bath & Body Works, absolute favorite scent is Vanilla Bean Noel.

14. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX? short. never longer tha mine.

15. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT? at some point i stopped picturing these things. it will happen if/when it happens & the moment will be special. period.

16. DO YOU LIKE PORN? *shrug* not particularly but it doesn't offend me.

17. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD? me. see answer 12. and to make it worse, i cry when i get mad which only serves to make me *more* mad.

18. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE? a very very small bit of French & German. i understand *slightly* more than i can speak. neither is very impressive. i'm pretty sure Baby Girl understands more French than i do at this point.

19. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU? how on earth am i supposed to remember this?? most likely i was not even born yet! the first one that i actually remember though? i got this Crayola Art Caddy made of Crayola-yellow plastic that spun around & had every art supply you could imagine. i loved that thing.

20. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING? it takes me way too long to fall in love for that to realistically happen. that sounds like you're talking about someone on vacation or someone is on military leave or something. if it was a situation where you knew someone was leaving in 2 years or something you dated anyway? well i don't think you get to choose who you fall in love with. it just happens. you deal with it later.

21. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU? actions have always meant more to me than words. you can say 100 things you don't really mean. but how you treat them everyday can say volumes.

22. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED: 43

23. WHAT IS THE LAST TEXT MSG YOU RECEIVED? no cell phone for text messaging remember?

24. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN? probably...the extension for shipping when i'm at work? i don't call that many people that often. but i am on the phone with shipping all day long confirming purchase order & invoicing information.

25. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST? lack of consideration. on any & all levels.

26. HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF THE US? to Canada when i was in high school. that's it.

27. YOUR WEAKNESSES? i cry when i'm mad no matter how hard i try not to. i hate disappointing anyone for any reason. i can't be confrontational even when i need to be. i hate big crowds of people i don't know. NO PUBLIC SPEAKING. i am terrified of getting hurt emotionally & i think it makes me hold back more than i should. i hate asking for help.

28. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Bristol, CT home of ESPN. and nothing else that i can think of.

29. FIRST JOB? i had a steady babysitting gig when i was 13. every Tuesday & Thursday night from 4-9 and either Friday or Saturday from 3-midnight. $100 a week. cash.

30. WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? a teacher. a stay at home mom. a horse trainer.

31. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY? sleeping

32. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY, WHAT WOULD IT BE? i wouldn't.

33.WHY DID YOU FILL THIS SURVEY OUT? i found it while blog-surfing & i liked that it was completely different & i am one of those strange people who likes these things if they aren't the same 5 that have been floating around since the beginning of the internet.

34. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST? my very sunny personality

35. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL? not really care. i could love without the 15 glasses of wine i have a year.

36. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY? that's a long way away. not that i would have an answer for you even if it was tomorrow. we never did wish lists as a kid so i feel weird telling people what i want now. greedy or something.

37. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT? 1? 2? more? we'll see how i feel at the time.

38. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? nope but ironically i was supposed to be Megan or Danielle. not sure what happened there. especially since there were a ton of baby Dawns in the hosptial when i was born. they were all Dawn Marie though so i got to be the oh-so-unique Dawn Lynn.

39. DO YOU WISH ON STARS? only real shooting ones

40. IF YOU COULD PUT 5 BANDS TOGETHER TO PLAY A CONCERT, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE? ok seriously...i am lame. i have no idea who i would put together & why. i don't even decide this on my mix cds. i just pick songs i like, burn them & hit shuffle on my cd player.

41. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? last weekend. why are we still talking about this?? i said i didn't want to talk about it...

42. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? when i'm not writing fast & scribbling shorthand, yes

43. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO RETIRE? i have a lot of years left before i even need to start thinking about that. i think here though...with a condo or something in New England.

44. ANY BAD HABITS? tapping my fingers--no one has ever pointed anything else out to me so i can't think of any others at the moment. and no i am not suggesting this be an open forum about my bad habits thanks.

45. WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD ON THE SHELF? i'm not embarrassed by any of them. i moved 1200 miles not quite 4 years ago & got rid of anything i didn't absolutely *love*.

46. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? absolutely. i may screw up a lot of things but i am a GREAT friend.

47. HAVE YOU EVER TOLD A SECRET YOU SWORE NOT TO TELL? probably when i was younger. as an adult if it's that important my lips are sealed.

48. DO LOOKS MATTER? of course they do. the thing is...that open to personal interpretation so what looks fantastic to me you may not look at even once. good thing or we'd all be fighting over the same 5 things all the time ya know?

49. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER? i have a *really* long fuse. it's not pretty when you reach the end of it. there is yelling. oh the yelling. and the tears. (WHY does it keep coming back to me crying in this thing??) i used to be able to just get in my car & drive to cool off. alone time, singing to the radio & some distance cool me off the quickest.

54. DO YOU USE SARCASM? that would be soooo out of character for me *rolling my eyes*

55. EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT? yes. once. NOT by my choice. there are some places not meant for 115lb girl. got kicked in the head by some crowd-surfing ass wearing a steel toe boot (not very hard thank God but hard enough to give me a goose egg) because the moron guy i was with was not very protective of me. in fact he was using ME as a shield!

56. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL? protectiveness. honesty. trust. laughter. the ability to snuggle without acting like i have asked him to cut off an arm. kisses. someone who can make it all better when i need them to. someone who can give me my space sometimes too.
