A, B, C Meme

I was going to type up the article I wrote today entitled, "The Devil Has Captured the Simpsons or: Now What Will I Watch on Sunday Nights?" But it isn't finished and everyone is doing this meme so I thought I'd go ahead and just do the meme. I'll finish the article tomorrow, I promise.*

Accent: Well, when I used to drink all the time I had kind of an Irish/English accent when I was sloshed. These days I have found a southern drawl playing on my tongue because I have been living with a hardcore Texan for the past 4 1/2 years.
Bible Book that I like: I have always been partial to Revelations. It scares the shit out of me, but the imagery is so wild my imagination just cannot resist. Chore that I don't care for: I hate cleaning floors. HATE it. So much that my bathroom floor is totally disgusting right now. Thank God I wash my rugs once a week :)
Dog or Cat: Both. I have had animals my whole life - everything from goats to hens...But dogs and cats have always been my favorite :)
Essential Electronics: Well, of course my computer...DVD player too, which makes the TV sort of indispensable. Record player, CD player, phone...I hate technology, yet I've become such a slave to it :)
Favorite Cologne: I really don't wear perfume anymore because I'm not allowed to at work (covers up the scent of all that coffee!) but I'd have to say Red Door is my favorite perfume. I don't like cologne. Yuck. All my hubby wears is Old Spice after shave and that is fine by me :)
Gold or Silver: I don't really wear much jewelry...Especially silver or gold (I'm more of a pooka shell girl) but I do prefer silver over gold and my wedding ring is silver.
Handbag I Carry most often: A backpack-type purse.
Insomnia: It didn't even occur to me until I saw this that I haven't had it much since I started getting up so early in the morning. I used to have it a lot. Definitely a night owl by nature. (Sorry, Jeana, had to steal some of your answers!) Actually...I think it is also because I started taking sleeping pills ;)
Job Title: Barista, really bad homemaker.
Kids: None yet! (Please God make Jason want one soon! I don't know if I can wait to lose 70 pounds first! Yes, I am 5 foot 2 and weigh like 215. I really don't look like that sounds. I'm fat but I'm not like morbidly obese.)
Most Admirable Trait: Um, it wouldn't be very admirable for me to suggest that I know that now would it?
Naughtiest childhood behavior: Um, the naughtiest? Whenever my mom had company I'd crawl into their lap and pee. (I was like younger than five then). I played pranks on EVERYONE. I had people screaming at my mom about me daily...Sometimes in a foreign language. My mom would say to me, "I have no idea what she just said but you must have done something terrible, you're grounded!"
Phobias: I am quite phobic. I'd only embarrass myself if I listed them all here. OK, why not: The dark, confined spaces, bugs, germs, other people driving me, death, bears, mountain lions, etc., etc. I am NOT afraid of heights though. I used to be petrified by them.
Quote: I love quotes! Here's one that I've been chewing on for a bit: "It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err." -Mohandas K. Gandhi
Religion: I am with Lauren on this one...
Siblings: One older brother, one younger brother, one younger sister. Two metaphorically adopted sisters. (One older, one younger) :)
Time I wake up: Between 4:30 and 5:00 on weekday mornings. Usually between 8 and 9 on the weekends.
Unusual Talent or skill: Unusual hmm? I can pick stuff up with my toes and write, pitch and catch with both hands.
Vegetable I refuse to eat: Brussel sprouts. Blech. I know they are supposed to be so good for you but I'd rather eat dirt.
Worst habit: Making jokes at inappropriate times.
X-rays: I have had three that I can think of. One when I was a kid and the doctor told me I had a heart murmer...I don't remember why I had the x-ray and no doctor has ever mentioned anything to me about a heamurmurmer so I think he was lying. I broke my foot when I was nine and I was stabbed in the back when I was what, 19? It was October 17th, 1995. It was Thursday and my lung was punctured.
Yummy stuff I cook: Everything I cook is yummy! To me at least...
Zoo animal I like most: I hate, despise, loathe zoos.

Since everyone else has done this and Rachel is obsessed with memes as I am, I won't tag anyone.
*I probably won't, but I'll think about doing it all. Day. Long.

Hehe - thank you for sharing a little more about you :).
I hate to say it, but brussel sprouts are my favorite with lots of butter and salt and pepper :).
I didn't know that people can't wear perfume in a coffee shop. Very interesting.

Well, it isn't that people can't wear perfume in a coffee shop. My boss just doesn't want us wearing it because our coffee smells so good he wants to lure the customers to drink!
