Five Things You Don’t Know About Me:
- I have a hard time expressing myself. I know this is hard to believe as I seemingly express myself well, but it’s incredibly difficult and frustrating doing so. I feel not many people really “get” me. I’m a mystery understood by few. I use words to describe my life and feelings, but I feel very alone and incomprehensible. I also find this incredibly difficult as I am really an open book and a hypocrite for thinking I’m not.
- My aspirations for possible “jobs” as a younger person are: Mortician, Clown (contradiction?!?), Gerontologist, Trucker, Cab Driver, Dancer, Britney Spears Impersonator, and Veterinarian.
- Mortician - I handled myself with others at the wake of my grandfather (I was 16 years old.). I still handle death and life very well – or so I like to think.
- Clown – I worked at Burger King, was occasionally the hostess whom handled birthdays where there was a clown. I am humorous and fun, I thought I’d make a great match. I love making people smile.
- Gerontologist – at 13/14 years old I went to Northwood Manor (the “old-age home” my great-grandmother lived before her death) and gave gifts to the elderly without family at Christmas. It touched me profoundly and I wanted to help however I could. I still want to volunteer at Northwood, but haven’t made a great effort since returning to Halifax from Vancouver. I’m happy this isn’t the route I took as I have since developed MS.
- Trucker – I love the road. I love driving. I’d love to visit other places in this continent by truck. I’ve been to all provinces in Canada with the exception of one: Newfoundland and Labrador. Also, the territories have regretfully been unvisited by the infamous Adrienne.
- Cab driver – Same as the trucker but a shorter distance and you’d interact with more people. This is also the deterrent as the chance of dying at the hands of someone else is greater.
- Dancer – Yes, Don reminded me of this. I love ballet as well. The thought of gracefully being tossed into the air and landing beautifully has been all but a distant memory now, but I love dancing. I don’t care what form of dance, but a basic African dance VHS tape has been my favourite by far. I did ballet for a few weeks as a child. I was petrified and cried for my Mother each visit. I did play with the cymbals for one class. I have also taken belly dancing. That will happen again.
- Britney Spears Impersonator – Shit yes. I know, it’s sad, but I love the thought of making a complete fool of myself on a stage dramatically impersonating her. The thought thrills me.
- Veterinarian – I love animals. Basic, yet normal in my eyes to aspire to be a Vet.
- I am an incense fanatic. I love the aroma of cedar-sage. I love buying more incense even though I have way too much as it is. I spent approximately $10 on 60 sticks yesterday. I would easily buy more if the opportunity presented itself. Really it’s my pyromania emerging… I love fire. I have matches and lighters wherever I can.
- I LOVE a man in a suit. Yes, LOVE. I did discuss this with a few people, but I don’t think in public. But a well dressed man is the greatest turn-on for me. Yes, uniforms work too… What more can be written about this?
- Do I have to do five??? I am at wits end thinking of four… I pick my nose like the rest of the planet, I wish I was greater than I am, I take great pride in my knowledge and loathe my difficulty achieving more and losing it as I age, I am grateful for what I have, I have to tickle my outer thighs to make myself pee more, I can hold 650 ML in my bladder, and I’ve seen the inside of my bladder and the openings to my kidneys too! Does this count as five?
Don tagged me with this, let me see…. I think Dirk and Caitrine are next…. Have fun and I’m checking in!
Also, more misadventures will be explained and the current one completed soon…
