Something I hate

I hate bathroom talkers. You know what I'm talking about, the people who go into a stall and want to continue the conversation, which must be rather loud in order to be heard over the plop of their solid waste hitting water. For some reason, they refuse to be embarrassed even when it is difficult to understand their words because they are contorted due to talking and straining at the same time. Gawd.

On a Whim

Tagged!

by Liseysmom. It warms my cold black heart. Eight things and eight tags.

1. I have a very large black cat named Ciscoe that I treat like my child.
2. I am militant about computers. I must have a mac or a linux box. I currently have two macs (both work issued) and just bought a surplus computer from the local university on which I will install Debian.
3. I played goalie for years for my high school and club soccer teams. I got my start in the position during grade school because I towered above my teammates. I think that the stiffness in my fingers is due to the multiple sprains and jams over the years.
4. I like soy milk and splenda in my coffee.
5. I’ve read the Lord of the Rings trilogy more times than I can count.
6. I have a tattoo pact.
7. I’m pretty handy around the house. Install tile. Check. Install new windows. Check. Demolition. Oh Check.
8. My first kiss was in 7th grade with a guy I despised, but my desire to kiss someone for the first time overrode my distain.

I tag Belaja. All eight times. Just so we can get her to post again.

An important childhood lesson...

An umbrella (a la Marry Poppins) doesn't slow the speed of descent from a tall cinder block wall.
