1. My husband buys me the most beautiful artwork. So? He’s totally blind.
2. I don’t drive.
3. I sing Nina Simone in the shower badly.
4. You know I’m addicted to retro but I’m being seduced to the dark side – Hollywood Regency.
5. I was addicted to newspapers until I discovered the web. Alright I’m still addicted to newspapers.
Ok – Kim here. Looks like it’s my turn.
1. I have an identical twin sister. Her name is Julia (belladina on Flickr).
2. I don’t think I look like your average design freak – I have 4 tattoos, 8 earrings, a belly ring and a nose ring. (See tattoo pics on Flickr)
3. I can drive, and have a car, but I can’t drive my car – it’s a standard and I never learned how. Boyfriend has to drive me everywhere – but I figure too bad, since he wrote off our automatic coming home from PEI in a snowstorm one Christmas.
4. I love fast cars and motorcycles – mostly because my boyfriend is obsessed with both. I want him to get a chopper so I can ride around on it with him.
5. Yes, I love cats but I absolutely adore animals, and have since I was little. I want a farm so I can stock pile animals. I wanted to be a vet throughout my childhood until a vet came to the school and told us you needed a 95% average in high school to be accepted to vet college. I was devastated.
And I’m tagging *Terramia* since I don’t think she’s been tagged yet.

Come on Jo, join the other dark side! (I don’t advise the nose though if pain is an issue – OHMIGOD hurt like hell, and bled alot). You not driving surprised me – especially since your husband obviously can’t.

You got me! I have already listed my “weirdnesses”… but I like this “soft” version better (heck, what is normal anyways?!)
I am totally with ya on the animal obsession. I adore them… with all my heart! I can sob up a storm when I hear of a sad story about any animal (like beloved Brigadier being put down… at least he wasn’t sent to a slaughterhouse!)All those Disney “pull-at-your-heart-string” films about animals still get me every time, especially Dumbo!
I blame having an animal compassion chip as compensation for not having a proper functionning sniffer… I just can’t help it! And I, too, wanted to be a vet, but I ain’t got a science chip in me whole body! Dang!
Here are some more things about me you may not already know…

Oops, I mean Barbaro.. Brigadier was a Toronto police horse that was fatally injured in a run down last March. Yet another tear-jerker… sniff, sniff.

Aw, Terramia, so glad to know I’m not the only freak obsessed with animals. I cry very easily when I watch animal shows. I even signed up with PETA to foster animals from hurricane Katrina. About 3 years ago the winter got pretty damn cold and one night I had about 9 cats in my 2 bdrm apartment – all the strays came by looking for a warm place to sleep, cause they knew I was a sucker. Now I’ll go check out your other “wierdnesses”. 😉
