Tragic's Wake

My birthday yesterday was absolutely splendiferous. It was quiet, sedate even, I loved it. We had a wicked snowstorm, the schools closed, malls closed halfway through the day, and city transit got pulled. I’ve got nothing exciting to say right now so please accept this silly quiz thingy..

1. What’s a nickname only your family calls you? I suppose “mom” counts here? Otherwise I’m not too sure, nothing really regular. I’m a pretty bland person generally. WYSIYG — What you see is what you get..
2. What’s a weird habit of yours? Constantly running my fingers through my hair for no obvious reason. It makes people nervous which is funny because it’s a nervous tic itself.
3. Do you have any weird phobias? I don’t think they’re overly weird. I have a spider thing, and men in suits creep me out really bad. I can’t stand movie theatres, they’re enough to nearly throw me into a full blown panic attack. I’m getting better with thunderstorms so I guess it’s not so much a phobia now. I still can’t handle heights, even in photographs.
4. What’s a song you secretly LOVE to blast & belt out when you’re alone? Love Shack by the B-52s, Paradise By The Dashboard Light by Meatloaf, and pretty much everything by Aerosmith..
5. What’s one of your biggest pet peeves? A f*king Grammar Lesson: They’re = They f*king are. | Their = Shows f*king possession. | There = Specifies a f*king location. | You’re = You f*king are. | Your = Shows f*king possession. | We’re = We f*king are. | Were = Past f*king tense of “are”. | Where = Specifies a f*king location. | Than = A f*king comparison. | Then = A point in f*king time.
6. What’s one of your nervous habits? Running my fingers through my hair, constantly. Oh, and endlessly cleaning my glasses, also I almost always start fidgeting with my phone when I’m feeling a bit on edge..
7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?  The left, always. Home, away, alone or paired.
8. What was your first stuffed animal & it’s name? I had two at the same time when I was a baby: Gerome, he was a 3 1/2′ giraffe, and Pinky — a large pink panther doll that was roughly the same size. I lost them both in a house fire when I was four. I still miss them all these years later..
9. What’s the drink you ALWAYS order at Starbucks? I almost never go to Starbucks so I’ll share my Java Moose fave: Chocolate Mint Mocha Latte. Espresso, scalded 2% milk, mint syrup, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and mint dark chocolate chips on top. Mega sized, of course.
10. What’s the beauty rule you preach.. but never ACTUALLY practice? Drink water. Mostly because plain water actually gags me. Yeah I know, #firstworldproblems
11. Which way do you face in the shower? Away from the water. I just love the feel of my back being pelted with hot streams of water, it’s so relaxing!
12. Do you have any ‘weird’ body ‘skills’? Perhaps this isn’t the right type of blog to discuss such matters
13. What’s your favorite ‘comfort food’/food that’s ‘bad’ but you love to eat it anyways? Potato chips, they’re my great love and also likely the bane of my existence, or at least the enemy of my ass maybe..
14. What’s a phrase or exclamation you always say? “Jesus H. Christ” When I was little, I thought the ‘H’ stood for “Howard’ I have no idea why. I thought Jesus was somehow connected to my departed grampy Howard..
15. Time to sleep- what are you ACTUALLY wearing? Either some sort of ridiculous patterned PJs or one of my numerous shorty nighties with spaghetti straps and little patterns bug and flower (I wear the satin LaSensa nighties when I feel like being pampered) I also have a bunch of oversized tee shirt styled nighties, most with ridiculous pictures, patterns, and/or captions on them..
