I was disappointed because I wanted more chocolate milk, but Mom wouldn't let me have any.
Yeah, I'd have trouble watching that.

It's a good thing we don't have it on our home movies, then. :P

We *do* have a home movie of 3-year-old me getting cocoa mix (for like hot cocoa and chocolate milk) straight out of the container...with my hands.

Cutting carrots makes me violent.

Just the carrots. Cutting celery is a different matter, I remain nice and calm...

I spent at least $150 of my Visa Debit card in the last month or so. No need to tell me to apply a spending freeze for May.

Last night I had a dream about going to a UD meet, and meeting up with Flangy, Albert, and Ames for the first time. :p

Oh, so I'm not important enough to be in your dream fantasies, am I? Fine. I see how it is. Chris and I will have our own dream meeting, and you're not invited.

It seems I've got a pizza fetish. :lol:

I recently decided I make enough pizza at home to warrant buying a pizza peel (the wooden slate with a handle that you pull pizzas out of the oven with). I can't believe how hard they are to find locally so I may have to pick one up online. I'd rather handle a few in person though before deciding on a purchase since they can get rather expensive, especially since I want it to work as a cutting board as well.

A couple of friends have told me I'm being totally picky about this, but not only do I want a quick and easy way to remove the pizzas, I want a place to cut them. The cutting board I have is too small so lately I've just been using cardboard. I guess I got spoiled by my old days at Pizza Hut. :p

And as I started doing some searches for this stuff online, I came across the type of cutters we used at PH. I'm wondering if I should pick one of those up to, although I can't say I actually make enough pizzas to justify it:

Image

They're fun though! I used to cut pizzas faster than anyone else there with them, 12 slices in maybe a second or two. It was a great stress reliever for me when I handled the cut table on a busy night, although sometimes I scared people in the process. :lol:

I'll probably stick with my regular old round pizza cutter though.

Well pardon my psyche for not remembering to include every one of my friends.

You're trying to make sense of a dream where a witch tried to sell me biology textbooks, and there was a mound of snow in the middle of August. :p

I'm getting my own car for the first time in 2 years! It's an enormous deal to me because I've spent a lot of time either stranded at home or stressed out over having to drive the stick.

I've been to Disneyland a grand total of five times, and hope to again for my birthday next year. I've never been to Walt Disney World though.

Two animators that have worked for Disney have drawn my original characters for me a few times.

Disney closing down its hand-drawn animation department a few years back sparked a chain of events that actually affected my personal life; had it not happened, I'd have never met my boyfriend.

Most meat grosses me out unless it's ground into hamburger or something else not recognizably an animal part. I do like boneless, skinless chicken breast, but can't handle any kind of chicken that's still on the bone, like rotisserie or KFC. Other than that, I don't eat much meat period.

Spinach is my favorite food. I seriously put it in nearly everything, even smoothies!

I don't think I'll ever get used to desert summers, but I do enjoy the desert winters a lot.

I love making avatars and banners!

I smoked for over ten years, but quit cold turkey when I moved to Las Vegas.

I think I need to go down about 4 sizes before I can be reasonably comfortable in my body.

I once drove for 20 hours straight on a road trip. I felt like a zombie after I got home.

I have a horrible, horrible problem with typing out "teh" instead of "the." You can't really tell from my posting since I take the time to proofread, but it gets pretty bad if I'm in a chat room.

My cat is very handsome, and he knows it.

Random facts about myself...

- I used to be constipated and having severe sinus issues, but thanks to acupuncture and Chinese medicine I feel great!

- For some odd reason I sweat cat nip, because whenever I cat is near my feet, my shoes or my dirty clothes he enters a surreal state of joy and falls asleep on either my feet or my clothes

- I used to LOVE milk soup, but when I was a kid I ate so much of it that I grew repulsed by it, now I can't stand to even watch the thing. YECH!

- I used to be able to float when I went to the pool or river, but now that I gained weight I sink like a rock.

- Back in July when I went to my teacher's funeral service I knew that I would be annoying wearing my formal clothes all day during the summer heat wave, so I brought my normal clothes and changed at a Pizza Hut bathroom. It felt weird changing my clothes in a non dressing room setting. Luckily, no one had to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, they would have been stunned to see a huge manati in his underwear XP .

- In a plane ride while everyone is cool and asleep I am the one freaked out and paying attention to every bump the plane takes :O .

- All of my cats have been strays rescued from the street.

- Once I was able to successfully stay awake for 24 hours. True story.

- Gladiator was the first DVD I ever saw.

- Toy Story was the second.

- Meet The Klumps was the third.

- Scary Movie was the fourth.

- The Cell was the fifth :p .

- Super Mario World was the first Mario game I ever beat by myself :D .

- I got braces at age 11, took them off at 14.

- Dumbo was the first Disney film I remember watching.

- The Lion King was the first Disney film I saw in theaters.

- Dennis the Menace was the first movie I ever saw in theaters.

- Jurassic Park was the second.

- I used to consider myself a hairy mess, until I met my best friend....

Need more?

Here some randomness about me:

- My mom went and saw "The Lion King" 6 times with my sister when I was in my mom's stomach.

- Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was my first DVD.

- Across the Universe was my first Blu-ray Disc.

- I'm moving soon.

- In our new house, we're going to have a home theater with 7.1 Surround. I'm excited! This is our first surround set up.

- I've been looking at UD since 2005. I didn't find the forum until this year.

- I've Googled "charlie brown blu-ray review" a lot in the past week hoping to find an early review of the disc. I WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR NOT SO I WON'T WASTE MY MONEY!!!

- I sometimes have random outbursts about random things.

- I can't decide which edition of "The Wizard of Oz" on Blu-ray to buy. There are too many choices!

- I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. Their names are Rosie, Sugar, Puss, and Phineas.

- I have been in 17 local productions (12 musicals, 5 plays).

- Only 6 of the musicals I've been in are REAL musicals. Haha.

- I'm in my 4th year of Tap dance education and my 3rd year of Jazz dance education. I've also taken 2 years of Hip Hop, but haven't taken a Hip Hop class since '06.

- I've been to Disney World 8 times and Disneyland 3 times. Disney World is better in my opinion.

- I only saw 2 movies at the theater over the summer. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Up. They were both good.

I can't think of anymore at the moment. If I think of more, I'll post later.

I do something with my DVD collection that people might find odd. I swap cover slips (and their discs) and cases depending on a cover slip's background color to compliment the DVDs. If a cover slip's background is mostly/all dark blue or black and it has a white case when I obtain it then I swap it with a black case from another DVD with a cover slip that has mostly/all a light color or white background. DVDs with a completely white background on the front, back, and spine of the cover slip and have a black case usually get first priority to being swapped for a white case.

At all of eleven years, my sibling forced our friend Katie to drink glass upon glass of water, close to twenty foot-long glasses, until the poor girl vomited water all over the kitchen. Sibling was trying to make Katie urinate in her pants. I was protesting for them to stop all the while.

Not much of a fact about me, but it'll do.

That's hot.
