after weeks...I finished my 100 things.

OK so every blog I visit has a "100 things" list. These consume me. Why? I do not know. But for some reason, I dig knowing a whole lot about poeple I didn't know anyway, so here are mine.

100 Things about Ctal


I'm a native Houstonian.
I like my eye color.
I came very close to being able to do a piked double back flip(diving) in 10th grade.
I would not attempt a single piked back flip today. That shit's crazy.
My favorite muscle on the human body is the tricep.
I could live without television, but not without my PC or radio.
Yes, I've been flipped out, head over heels in love before.
No, my husband wasn't one of them.
If I have a headache, I want aspirin. Ulcers be damned, keep your Tylenol.
If I had to pick a food that I must consume for at least one meal a day for life, it would be cheeseburgers. So long as they came from different establishments, I could so do this.
I will stand in a lotion/bathstuffs aisle forever, just smelling all the different scents.
People don't like to go into Bath and Body works with me for the above reason.
I HATE to shop. Especially for me.
RE: above....unless I'm supposed to be shopping for others, then it all looks good to me.
Complete strangers have stopped me to tell me I look like Steffi Graf when I have my hair in a ponytail.
Complete idiots have stopped me to ask if I WAS Steffi Graf. (Um, yeah, bonehead, Steffi Graf is bringing your drinks to your table. Eyeroll)
My favorite candle scents smell like food.
My favorite artist is Ty Wilson.
I'm not a risk taker.
I collect Hard Rock Cafe shirts. There will soon be enough to make a quilt out of all the logos and cities.
I love all things paranormal. Bring me all the ghost stories, UFOs, psychics, whatever.
When I was a kid, I planned to die by spontaneous combustion, because I thought that would be a cool way to go.
If I'm ever rich beyond my wildest dreams, I will keep some fool on staff to do my hair every morning and put my makeup on, because I hate to.
I will have some other fool to lay my clothes out.
But I will clean my own house.
I was a soprano in high school choir. If you've ever heard me talk, you know this is odd.
Re: above, I have nodes on my vocal chords, so I can't hit high stuff anymore. Seeing as Lew Perlman didn't show up to make a pop star out of me anyway, I never got it taken care of.
I can dislocate my shoulders at will.
I'm a pretty good mom, I think. Probably too lenient when I'm tired though.
My ultimate favorite flower in the world is Stargazer Lillies. Roses don't suck, but not as 'Sorry I fucked up' bequests.
I can't play any instrument. Well, does a kazoo count?
I have a high IQ, but probably couldn't tell you what I ate for lunch a couple of days ago.
I'm self diagnosed ADD. If you ever watched me clean an entire house, you'd agree.
If they made alcohol free Bacardi, like they do fake beer, I'd drink that stuff all day, because I love the taste of my rum.
I love Motown music. The Temptations are the coolest thing since sliced bread.
If they took Diet Coke off of the market tomorrow, I would probably be unconsolable.
Wardrobe malfunction or not, I think Janet Jackson is cool as hell.
John Mayer has the coolest weird little lips in the music industry.
I can't marry Johnny Rzeznik from the Goo Goo Dolls, no matter how much he wants me to, because Chantal Rzeznik just doesn't sound right.
Garth Brooks has some songs I can stand. (ssshhhh, don't tell anyone)
My favorite movie scene is from “Waiting to Exhale” when she piles all her cheating husband's stuff into his BMW in the street and sets it on fire. In a bathrobe. Hee. Then the fireman knocks on her door and says “you can't burn anything but trash in this neighborhood” and she says “It IS trash” hee. Yay for that.
When I run the world, there will be no dress code ever, anywhere. And I think that will make people get along a LOT better if they're hanging in board meetings in sweats and ponytails. Never underestimate the power of waking up late and having to toss the hair in a ponytail.
Every drink is imbibed out of at least a 32oz insulated mug (some are as big as 64...i have 5 of them) affectionately termed as my “woobies”
Best concert I ever attended was Prince with my girl KJ. Burned fingers be damned, he rocked.
I abhor feet. If an injury occurs, and I apply first aid to your foot...you KNOW I love the hell outta you, because I do NOT like feet.
I lost my virginity at 17 to a complete asshole that I was with for 2 years. Hindsights always 20/20.
A 4 year old could probably beat me at bowling.
But I'm told I have a natural golf swing. (I would think a natural golf swing would make contact with the ball, though)
I once quit smoking cold turkey for about a year. Haven't been able to achieve that again.
If I'm sick in bed, bring me all the John Hughes movies from the 80's. I'm a geek like that.
I'm a pretty happy person just hanging all by my lonesome sometimes.
I rarely like a CD enough to actually buy it. I have to like at least a 4 song minimum for it to even qualify.
Best job I ever had, waiting tables. I'm a people person and made mad cash doing it.
I'm a complete night owl. Not my best until after 4 p.m.
I subsist on very little sleep due to the above.
If in a nightclub with my friends, I will be asked to dance by more than the average number of black males. No idea why, but it saves me from dancing with badly dancing white males, so whatever.
I smoked my first cigarette at 19.
First drink (bleh) was a bottle (pint) of Highland Mist scotch, split with a gaggle of house wrapping accomplices at 13.
I have never touched scotch again since that night. And never will.
I used to sleepwalk as a child...right up and out of the house, even got lost once when my Grandma had moved, wandered around in a Tshirt and underwear for an hour.
Much as I love to eat, if I'm depressed or heartbroken, I have no appetite. If I could find three heartbreaks in rapid succession, I'd be back to my ideal weight of 140 in a heartbeat.
Coming down I45 into downtown, I see my city's skyline and smile...everytime.
I think gay bars are HELLA fun!
I'm a reality TV junkie. Although, now it's more like “reality” TV.
I was born in the 6th month of '66...coincidence? I don't think so. ;)
I love to laugh...only thing I like more is making others laugh.
If I find you don't have a sense of humor, you will get absolutely NOWHERE near in my pants. Ever. Even if you look like Matthew McConaughey.
In my opinion the coolest technological invention besides the PC is Caller ID.
I'm pretty financially responsible, it would just be easier to do with more money.
In fact, I'm pretty damn frugal, period. Coupons, clearance sales, all of it.
At least 3 times during childhood, I told my mom that I just “somehow KNEW” that I would die before I grew up.
My mom is kind of a basket case now when it comes to worrying.
I will not buy cheap tennis shoes. Ever.
If I could hang out and chat and crack a bottle of wine with one person I've never met, it would be Maya Angelou.
The trait I admire most in others is balls. But only when used intelligently.
I probably go without breakfast maybe 4 times a year...it's that important.
I lost my best friend to AIDS. Worst death I've ever witnessed, doubt it will be beaten.
I have some nice jewelry, but very rarely remember to wear it.
I can't draw for shit.
My handwriting starts out OK, but quickly disintregrates to deplorable.
I don't like to cook, but baking is OK.
Wicked thunderstorm = Barry White singing “lets get it ON”
I'm not a princess, or a wimp about hard work.
I'm extremely hard to goad into a fight, but if you're trying to, best way to do it is to leave me to my own thoughts for a while after pissing me off or hurting my feelings.
80's fashions should be brought back, post haste.
Perfect food, outside of cheeseburgers...Pizza. All 4 food groups squarely represented.
I'm rarely quiet and not talking. If I am, there may be reason to worry.
I check my bank online and balance stuff out EVERY day.
I have never cheated on anyone, ever. Hairdressers don't count. Because those are relationships to chicks. But if someones throwing free product your way, hey, yay for that.
You'll never catch my toes not painted a cute color. They do get a polish break, just not visibly.
I can construct fairly killer sand castles.
I'm a Gemini, and can usually see both sides of a subject, to a fault. After a bit of putting my self in other's shoes, I may not even know my own position on a matter.
OK I hit writers block here, so I contracted my 9 year old secretary and accomplice in all misadventures to finish the list of me....
Her mom calls her “precious”
She makes up songs for people.
Every other Saturday is our party night.
Her party food is chex mix
She is a Disney freak.
She squints when she's thinking or looking at you weird.
She loves me.
