Hit by Twwly, it’s been requested that I tell you 10 things that you may not know about me.
1. It’s weird being bisexual in such a hetero lifestyle. I was going to write a full entry on this, but that sentence pretty much sums it up. There’s not much more of a hetero lifestyle than being married and a mother. All my friends are straight, married and have kids. It feels very lonely, it feels like I can’t talk to anyone about this aspect of my sexuality. I feel that most of the people who I talk to don’t understand it. I feel like I should suck it up and turn that part of my self off since I’m in a committed and established relationship, but I can’t help but feel like something is missing.
2. I love knowing what the current gas prices are, what the temperature is and what time it is. I have a habit of accidentally looking at the clock at exactly 12:34. At my last job (while I was pregnant) it happened so often that I actually started keeping track of how many days of the week I caught that exact minute without trying. It was a LOT.
3. I want Halifax to legalize having chickens within city limits, because I would love to raise them. I want Ash to be able to see how a garden is grown and how animals are raised ethically as I did when I was a child. There’s a video of my sister and I at a very young age going through our huge garden and pointing out to the camera the different plants, bed by bed. I remember feeling a sense of pride when I was a girl that I was able to correctly identify the small leaves of plants and also the footprints of the wild animals in the snow and mud on our property.
4. I will always regret not learning how to skateboard and how to play the drums. I have wanted dreads for years and years and I’m confident that I will never have those either and I’m sad that I’m “too old” for those things (whether in my head or in reality, whatever, it’s how I feel about them).
5. If I could have a talent, it would be to sing. I have no interest in performing, but I think it’d just be nice to have that ability. When I sing, Ash tells me to be quiet, just like I used to when my mother would try to sing to me.
6. Even though my weight was only this low for a couple of months, I long to be this skinny again. I achieved it by kicking my sugar addiction and smoking a LOT of cigarettes. I was between 125-127lbs and comfortable in my own skin. Coming from someone who’s been close to 160lbs, 125 is definitely the better side of the scale.
7. I could eat sushi every single day. I love inari, edamame, avocado rolls, “prego” rolls, sweet potato tempura rolls especially.
8. I wear $35 foundation and recently spent $27 on a tube of concealer of the same brand name. My foundation lasts 1.5 years, and I’m usually able to buy it with Shoppers Optimum points. Outside of mascara, all of my other makeup comes from Abbey St. Clare, a mineral makeup company. My favorite toner is by Anointment Natural Skin Care, a local company in Halifax.
9. I’ve only ever had three good haircuts in my life. Two of them by my current hairdresser, and I’m so happy I found her.
10. I don’t have any piercings left.
Tagging: Kate!, Caitlin! (oooh, the double tag!), Jessica and April.
