Gakked from mother2012

"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes office supplies."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer."

I was born and raised in San Francisco, as was my father and HIS father so I belong in California and the rest of you can GET OUT. Went to a private girls' school, got thrown out for dealing drugs, went to UC Berkeley, graduated Phi Beta Kapa with a degree in Slavic Languages. I trained horses and officers for the Oakland Police Department, rode and trained dressage horses, read LoTR when I was 15 and man tas that a life altering experience. My brother and his family live in New Jersey, my father died when I was 17 and trust me, none of us were sorry to see HIM go, and my mother is in an assisted living center. I have a very low tolerance for willfull stupidity. I am doing things now at my age -- and trust me, you'll never know what that is -- that I was afraid to do when I was younger. Yes I'm vain. I see a personal trainer, I do botox and restylin and when I have enough $$, we'll go for cosmetic surgery. I know I can do anything I want to do, but I do have an inner voice that argues with that and that's my constant daily struggle. That and being tolerant of fools.

My love affair with Dom Monaghan has lasted longer than ANY other "romance" with a rock band, actor, you name it.

I procrastinate, I'm always late for stuff, there are bizillion undone things mainly because of heretofore poor time management skills that I am working on.

LOL All hail FoxyKC!

OK, I will cross post what I put in FoxyKC's LJ: I am a single mom, painter, chocolate-loving foodie. But that is probably obvious. Something you may not know. Hmmmmm. I really like to smell the out-gassing of certain offset printing inks.

And I will add: my childhood nickname (from my mom) was 'monkeybutt'.

I can see now that the challenge of this meme will be to come up with something different for each journal on my flist.

The book that hooked me on science fiction was A Wrinkle In Time when I was around seven or eight years old. I only read hard science fiction though - I really can't stand fantasy.

I almost died when I was eight years old from an allergic reaction to penicillin. That was also the year I had my tonsils out, had a cyst removed from my lung, and our dog, Penny, died.

Both of my parents are retired and live in Las Vegas along with their satellite tv, swimming pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. *squishes them*

I think I'll just take what I put in Mother2012's and add to it:

I was born and raised in New York City, and hated it. Once I moved to California at 23, I only went back once in my first 20 years here, and that was for my Grandmother's funeral.

I've since been back many times in the past 9 years because of business, and, I have to admit, I still don't like Manhattan.

I do not have a college degree, but most people I work with assume I do. (I don't lie about it, I just don't shout out the truth.)

Question - what is the one thing that you have done that has made the greatest impact on your life.

Hello! This is ME and I can write backwards. And sign my name upside down. Yes, well....

hmmm.

When I was still not born yet, my heart stopped and my parents thought they had lost me... It stopped for something like a minute...
As an unborn child I caused my mother the most amount of problems (compared with my four other siblings).
When I was 1 and 2 my parents had to train me how to eat because I didn't know when I was hungry. The same problems have continued since that time.
I could string together complete sentences and talk to adults from a VERY early age. I think I was able to communicate with adults by the time I was about 2 or 3...
what else?
I'm on a drug called Roaccitane for minor acne, and it makes me bleed really easily. I have blend from almost every part of my body now... (nose, lips, face, hands, arms, legs, feet, stomach, groin, arse... EVERYTHING.)

and now for you...
If you could instantly have one ability, what would it be and why? (not magical power, ability)
