kittydesade.. I totally forgot to do this. Here, six things about me. No, you do not get to point out if I've posted these before.
1. I'm actually allergic to cats. Ironical, isn't it? My allergies are limited to a histamine reaction from feline overload, and since I've generally lived with cats for most of my life (except for college and a couple years after) and live with two now, they don't usually come out unless I suddenly go into a house with nine cats or something.
2. I've never worn makeup. I have no idea how to put it on. No, that's not true, I've worn makeup? Just, it's mostly been for theatre. So if I put on makeup it looks good from about fifteen feet away and further. And, yeah. That's about it.
3. Up until I was about sixteen, fifteen, I wanted ot be a dancer. I just about wanted it as much as I want to be a writer now, only I didn't quite have as clear a picture of what it would take. After a while I watched some films, went to Broadway. I think it was realizing what it would take that turned me off dancing. I don't have a strong enough body image to keep doing that. I barely have a strong enough self-esteem to keep writing.
4. When I was younger, and my friend and I used to stay at my family's beach house, we used to pretend the X-Men were after us. Well, the X-Men bad guys. Whenever we walked up and down the beach at night collecting driftwood for the fireplace Sabretooth was always a few feet behind. There was much squealing and running and secretly lusting after the poor people. We were also convinced that one house labeled 'Monroe' along the phone pole, next to the mailbox, was Storm's house.
We also were convinced, after the first time we saw Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that the vampires were after us. The movie, that is.
5. I've seen Richard III on stage at least four times. That I can remember. Of all of those times my favorite Richard is still Tom McCamus. He just had this evil smirk that still gives me shivers. He was also one of the most sympathetic. My favorite setting, cliche as it is for Richard, is still the Nazi-Germany-esque one at the Free for All at Carter Barron. They had the coolest sets for that one.
6. Here's one that just came up at dinner today; when I was a kid I put mint jelly on every meat I had. I have no idea how that started, except that someone said some kind of meat (lamb, I think?) was supposed to have mint jelly with it. I liked it so much that I insisted on having it at every meal at which there was chicken or beef or something. Except fried chicken. Or stewmeat. But roast beef, chicken breast, just about everything had to have mint jelly with it. My grandmother made me cold beef and mint jelly sandwiches for school lunch. I didn't stop that until I got to college. Come to think of it, maybe I should pick some up tomorrow since we have roast beef leftovers....
