I’m so out of the loop I’d never know if I were tagged or not, but I’ll just go ahead and do this.
1. My Crazy Jaizzy’s fantasy football team is 2-0 right now.
2. Jaizzy is my pet chicken, named after a xangan who once told me it’s French slang for “I’m confused.”
3. Child abuse is a family pattern that goes back 4 generations on my mom’s side. Back then it was called ‘discipline’. My mother used to beat me till she could no longer lift her arm.
4. I have a problem with ‘pretenders’, people who hold onto a belief system and behave contrary to it. Like Christians who are cruel to other people via anything from neglect to gossip to hateful confrontation.
5. I’m not always that serious. I own nearly everything Weird Al ever put out.
6. I don’t drink. I tried one year, and went into liver toxicity. Not fun.
7. Halloween is my fave holiday, autumn is my fave season.
8. I love finding cool renderings that other people do.
9. I like silly movies.
10. I don’t get along very well with others after a certain length of time. Most people don’t realize it’s the Asperger’s. I didn’t realize it myself for years.
11. I hate it when people feel sorry for me. I’ve been dealing with chronic illness and severe pain for 20 years, and I have to be tough to survive. Making a big deal out of feeling bad for me only makes me really depressed, so I ignore people thinking they’re being nice about it. Then they tell me I’m mean and cruel because I don’t respond correctly. So no offense, but I have a lot more on my mind than social etiquette when it’s all I can do not to curl up and look gross. And to all the people who’ve told me I look terrible when I turn white as a sheet and nearly faint from overwhelming pain in public places, and all the people who’ve said “My (relative) died of lupus”- just don’t, ok? I ~know~.
12. This is true.
13. My original heroic icon is Stephen Hawking. I love the guy. I thought he was the bomb even before I was diagnosed nearly 20 years ago.
14. Beaker is my fave muppet.
15. I own a duck. She’s the noisiest pet I’ve ever owned. I love this icon.
