1. I moved from Vancouver, BC to Airdrie, AB 6 months ago and I still miss Vancouver desperately.
2. I LOVE MY JOB! That is the #1 reason keeping me here (#2 is my boyfriend, who treats me like a princess - and he told his mom to get me a MAC g/c for Xmas, lol.)
3. I have an 8 year old son named Ben, and he lives with his father in BC, so I haven't seen him since Easter (before I moved.)
4. I am going home to Vancouver/Vancouver Island for 3 weeks over Xmas, so that I can see my son, my friends, and my family. I'm so excited about it, I can't even think about it cause I get all worked up. =P
5. I have played classical piano (and various other instruments) for over 20 years - I used to play competitively and it took up all my spare time until I was 18 and moved out on my own. I have also taught piano.
6. I sleep in a 'burrito' - I wrap the covers all around me, and it drive the BF nuts.
7. I have to have numbered volume controls set to an even number. A little OCD, perhaps...
8. I often blow my budget buying MAC (I'm sure I'm not the only one, lol!)
9. I have a vitamin K deficiency (aka potassium) so it takes twice as long for my blood to clot than a normal person.
10. Since I am turning 30 in a couple of months, I have decided to act like an adult and have created a reasonable budget for the next year, including major advances in debt repayment and starting a savings plan.
11. My friends call me the "entertaining one" because I'm weird and not afraid to do white guy dances or old school hip hop moves when we're out dancing, have the dry sarcasm of Monty Python, and I know how to throw a PAR-TAY!
12. MAC related - 90% of my collection has been purchased since last January. I'm up to 3 full 15 pan eyeshadow palettes, a full blush palette, half a dozen fluidlines, a dozen lipglasses/lipsticks/slimshines, and a couple dozen pigment samples (I can't justify the face stuff, or brushes, since I am happy with other brands for that.)
13. I have a younger brother who just graduated from university with a major in Media and Communications and a minor in Biology.
14. My mom is my REAL best friend, my "best friend" is a lying, self-centered hypochondriac (yet I still love her!), and everyone else is an acquaintance. I don't get close to a lot of people.
15. I haven't spoken to my dad in almost 3 years. No real reason other than a lack of interest on both our parts (my mom is remarried.)
16. I am a lunch fanatic - I make it every night (usually while I'm cooking dinner), and I have an interest in Japanese bento.
17. I listen to music ALL the time, and I get sick of songs really fast. I prefer rock, but I still love me some Justin Timberlake.
18. I smoke about 6-8 cigarettes a day, even though I don't like it that much. For some reason, I have commitment issues with quitting.
19. I'm 5'11" and I hate wearing heels (my boyfriend is 6'6" so I would LIKE to), mostly because I'm overweight and it hurts my feet. I feel awkward, like an elephant on roller skates, and think people are annoying by my clumping around, even though I can walk in them just fine (ie, I don't fall over.)
20. I've dislocated my left knee three times, and everytime it happened, I was on a dance floor. I still LOVE to dance!!
