25 Random Things About Me
I like most of these things except for the obvious ones.. Some are more interesting than others. If you get tagged you are supposed to also do a 25 random things also - but I won't make you. :)
Commenting is appreciated just so I know I didn't waste my time.
1. I've been here in the US since 1992 and have worked in the same company since.
2. I was married in 2002 or was it 2001 (i know it was like a year only) at the house of my friend. and then was separated in 2003. And yes, my divorce was granted so I'm freeeeeeeeeeeee again.. well sorta.. lol (which brings us to number 3)
3. I met John online in 2003 (or there abouts) at an online backgammon league where we eventually compared notes on the games we like to place and found a common genre - shooter games!. I went to see him in May of 2006.. got engaged sometime in April of 2007.. long distance relationships have it's repurcussions but I'm not complaining. It only means we spend quality time when we get together at least twice in a year. And yes, we're still engaged. He's my best friend.
4. I smoked for about 10 years. I quit cold turkey in May of 2006. It will be 3 years in May '09 that I've been cigarette free.
5. I quit drinking for about 7 years now. I used to drink a LOT (scotch and beer were my poison). Now I drink occasionally (glass of wine at family night or good ol' PIMMS w/ 7up)
6. I've started crocheting again. Last time I did was back in highschool for home ec class in the early 80's. I've given a few items I've made and it feels good to know they like what I made for them. I'm currently working on a few birthday gifts... a scarf set for Stephie (it's a bit delayed but better late than never),a throw for Catie, and an Afghan for John. Future projects are already lined up.
7. I love my shooter games. It's how I release stress on real bad days. I plug in my headset and enter my own little world. Unreal Tournament (pc) and Time Crisis (console) and a few other games... as long as they're shooter games, I'm there!!!
8. I have my pc games, an xbox, a ps2 and just recently a ps3 and a ds-lite. Can you tell I love gaming..lol
9. I have a nice DVD collection going and still growing. Last count was about 200 movies already.
10. In 1990, I went to Europe on a tour and was able to see London, Belgium, Amsterdam, France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Spain, Austria, Germany and Greece. I would love to see the other countries I didn't get to see.
11. Here in the USA, I've been to the following states -- Hawaii, Washington State, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Florida, Illinois and of course California where I live. I drove by the following states when I made the trip out to Oklahoma - Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Colorado has only been a connecting point each time I fly out to Kansas.
12. I used to play the guitar (in my highschool days.. was an accompanist during the masses held at the school) and the electric organ. I don't play anymore but I think I can still play a tune.
13. Lucky 13!!!! My birthday is on the 13th (for those who know me, you know which month I was born) and sometimes it falls on a friday. Haven't had any bad luck come my way when that happens.
14. I've gotten to see a Renaissance Fair on one of the earlier trips I made to Kansas when I went to see John. I think that's something I would do maybe once every 10 years.. lol ok. maybe every 5 years.
15. I got into making Websites a couple years ago and when in the right mood I mess with it still. Which reminds me, I have one project I need to get started on. I still like taking pictures and messing with computer graphics. I'm waiting for a software a friend is ordering for me :D which will make it easier to work on the websites.
16. I have a cd collection too. I've got a variety. The music I listen to depends on my mood. I've got pop, rock, broadway, country, oldies, 80's (biggest collection), etc etc etc.. quite a number of them that I can't remember anymore what I have.
17. I can be hard-headed depending on the situation. If I strongly believe in something it will take a lot to change my mind.
18. I have 3 laptops and 1 desktop. I have so much external drive space than I know what to do with.
19. I'm working on finding something I can do from home so I can augment to my current paycheck.
20. I can be a smart ass at times but I know my boundaries.
21. I like watching Scifi and Paranormal Stuff, some of the tv series like CSI, CSI:Miami and CSI:NY, Numbers, Flashpoint, Criminal Minds, House to name a few.
22. I prefer wearing jeans or slacks to skirts/dresses. The day I get married, the dresscode will be JEANS! (I know I'm nuts but hey, it will be my wedding!)
23. I love to cook. I like to sing. But I'm NOT a singing cook..lol - - I can do those separately.
24. I have yet to take a cruise. I've only gotten to the ships (we toured all of those that were docked ready to sail) when I went to Florida for familiarization trip with Carnival Cruise Lines.
25. AAaahhhh! Finally! Thank you for dropping by. I hope you had a wonderful stay as you journeyed through my crazy world. Come back soon!
