girlfiend

I meant to post a belly pic, but the flash made everything screwy, then the camera battery died before I could take more. Stupid battery. But since everyone else is doing it, here’s a little meme that’s been going around.

TEN random things you might not know about me.

1. I love dark chocolate covered pretzels.
2. When I was 5 I had a pet bunny named Twinkletoes who escaped into our backyard.
3. The smell of microwave popcorn reminds me of the smell of vomit.
4. I still call my dad “daddy” and I probably always will.
5. In school I was an excellent biology student, even in college.
6. Over the years, in cleaning frenzies I’ve given stuff away that I wish I’d kept.
7. I’m a terrible pool player.
8. My mom, who obviously hasn’t paid much attention over the years, often says I’m “hot-blooded” like my father, which is bullshit since I’ve unfortunately inherited her tendency to be cold almost all of the time.
9. I met Boyfiend by telling him a dirty joke that involved matches.
10. Sometimes when I’m not thinking about anything in particular, I randomly think of the word peanuts, or peanut butter. I have no idea why.
