8 things I want you to know:
  1. I’m short. Like 5’4 short. But I start the day at 5’4 and a half. I spend a lot of time wondering what it would be like to be tall.
  2. I’m pretty sure I’m blonde. I get some help.
  3. If you cut your nails in front of me I will stab you.
  4. If you want to buy me a drink I’ll take a vodka & soda with a splash of lime (please and thank you).
  5. I really like getting my way. I dare say I make a point of it.
  6. My favourite colour is purple. I don’t actually own anything purple though. Huh.
  7. I have no idea what I’m meant to do with my life. Leaning towards being a kept woman, in the market for a sugar daddy or mommy (I’m totally flexible like that).
  8. I’m a go-getter, a force of nature, a woman of action. I feel bad for people who get in my way.
8 things I don’t want you to know:
  1. I obsess about stupid shit. Like when I only had a cat and realized she was fat, and I got all anxious for an entire afternoon about it. But she complained when I tried to give her less food so I said “fuckit be fat then you mean old cat”. Now I have kids and I don’t pay attention to my cat. Poor thing.
  2. I am a slow reader.
  3. When I really like something, I like it a lot. As in, I will listen to a song over and over again until I’m so sick of it I never listen to it again.
  4. I have nightmares about going to the dentist. I’m always sure to let him know that when I see him.
  5. I’m considered “pretty good” at a lot of things but I’m not actually “amazing” at anything.
  6. I buy things to make myself feel better. Like songs off itunes, and Pandora beads off ebay.
  7. I had my blackberry for over a year and didn’t know what the password was to my voicemail. Wondering if I missed anything important…
  8. I often prefer to be by myself. No offence.
