100 Things, part III

Dos ici

21. I've never seen Titanic.

22. I never plan on seeing Titanic.

23. I have, however, seen the original 3 Star Wars films at least 100 times each.

24. If I could be any animal, it would be an otter. Otters just rock.

25. I have a tattoo on my head.

26. I have 3 cats and am dangerously close to becoming one of those "cat ladies".

27. I'm really a dog person, but can't have a dog, hence the growing cat harem.

28. I have hitchhiked across (most of) Canada.

29. When I was 8 I wanted to change my name to Starr. Yes, with 2 r's.

30. I cringe to think of that now.

100 Things, part deux

Part uno here.

11. I learned to knit when I was 7 or so, but didn't learn anything other than a knit stitch, so made the world's most boring and itchy doll blankets and scarves for a couple of months, then gave up.

12. I've largely taught myself to knit using the internet (Oh You Tube, where would I be without knitting videos and every episode of Spaced?)

13. Further on the above, I taught myself to read when I was 3 (not that astounding, my older siblings were all in school and I desperately wanted to do EVERYTHING they were doing, all the time.)

14. My favorite author is JRR Tolkein.

15. Despite all geeky appearances, I have never dressed up in character costume for a comic-con.

16. With my friends, I consider #15 a personal accomplishment (Arcturian Space Bunny being a popular costume among some of my girl-friends.)

17. I have a (nearly) 16 year old son, and this freaks the hell out of me on a daily basis.

18. I love spicy, exotic foods. Favorite cuisines are Laotian, Nigerian, Sechuan and Indian of any sort.

19. I can make moccasins.

20. Despite the fact that my parents only spoke English, my father's accent was so thick that I often had to translate for him when I was a child.

100 Things, part 1

So I'll bite and jump on the bandwagon, but I'll spread out these 100 things, cause I just don't know if I can be interesting 100 times over.

1. I was born on Thanksgiving, Canadian Thanksgiving that is, in October, and no pilgrims involved at all.

2. I was born a week late.

3. My older siblings are twins, and a preemie who were born less than 20 months apart (yup, 3 babies in diapers, two of them mobile, my mother was an amazing multi-tasker.)

4. I'm the only Canadian born member of my family.

5. I'm the only French-speaking member of my family.

6. One of my earliest memories is getting blisteringly angry when a Nixon speech interupted Kojak. I loved Kojak.

7. My earliest memory is eating a cherry popsicle with my best friend Johnny.

8. I'm a redhead.

9. My all time favorite movie is The Empire Strikes Back.

10. As a child, I wanted to grow up to be Han Solo (space pirate boo yah!)
