Ickle Meme

I took this little ABCs of Me meme from...
 
 
My ABCs...
 
Age: 25 for now, 26 on the 27th, less than a week away.

Bed Size: Chris, the beau, says it's a queen.  Not sure if I believe him.  One day I'd like a giant bed where I can have my own space.

Chore you hate: Dishes and picking up after myself.  I have a tendency to leave trails and undress in the living room.

Dogs: I love cats and dogs equally.  One day I shall have a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and he shall be named Falstaff.

Essential start of your day: A shower.  I am not fully awake till I have one.

Favorite Color: Always hard for me to say.  Lately I've been drawn to pale shades of pink and mustard yellow.

Gold or silver: For awhile I was all about silver, but gold/brass/bronze just matches my coloring a lot better.  I love rose gold.

Height: Close enough to 5'5'' that the nurses at Planned Parenthood always round it up.

Instruments I play (or have played): I cannot play anything, but I did try my hand piano when I was 6 as my parents' insistence and the flute when I was 9 on my own insistence.

Job Title: History student, waitress, debt wallower, vampire slayer.

Kids: I only like the ones I'm related to that are from relatives I am close to.  I kinda can't stand babies because I've never really interacted with them before.  They also look like aliens.

Live: Eugene, Oregon.

Mom's Name: Cathy, obviously with a 'C'.

Nickname: Lena, Flower to some SCAdians.

Overnight hospital stays: I'm sure I spent the night in the hospital when I was first born.

Pet Peeve: People who don't tuck in their chairs in public places.

Quote from a movie: "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." Westley from 'The Princess Bride'.  The first quote that popped into my head.

Right or left handed: Right.

Siblings: None.  Only child.

Time you wake up: On weekdays, 8-9:30 AM, depending.  Weekends if I have nowhere to be 10-11:00 AM.  My mom thinks I sleep in too late.

Underwear: Yes, please, all the time.

Vegetables you dislike: Eggplant, mushrooms, and squash.  Although I don't think any of those are technically veg. I actually love brussel sprouts, broc, etc.

What makes you run late:Taking way to long to get ready.

X-rays you've had done: Teeth and lungs.

Yummy food you make: I can make really yummy sauces and marinades.  Chris taught me how to make cream sauces and I do it all the time.

Zoo animal: Elephants!  And if they have insects I am always intrigued by them too.
