Three by three by three...

Stolen Borrowed from sociofemme, it's an I'm-bored-at-work-meme!



THREE THINGS THAT SCARE ME
01 - Breaking an arm, leg, hip, whatever important part when I'm at home alone, and having to crawl in pain to a phone, assuming I can reach it at all with a broken whatever.
02 - Car accident.
03 - When people yell at each other or otherwise fight. Even if I don't know them, this scares me a lot and I'm often left shaking. (Childhood stuff.)

THREE THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND
01 - People who think love can only be between two people of the opposite sex.
02 - Slackers.
03 - People who think some god is on their side and/or use a god as an excuse to hurt or repress people.

THREE THINGS I'D LIKE TO LEARN
01 - What job I'd like to hold.
02 - How to be happy.
03 - Lucid dreaming, so if I can't learn the first two, at least I can have what I like while I'm asleep.

THREE THINGS I AM WEARING RIGHT NOW
01 - Yellow shirt (blech, yellow is bright and not my usual color to wear. Was in an odd mood when I bought it.)
02 - Sneakers.
03 - Contacts.

THREE THINGS ON MY DESK
01 - Open Diet Coke.
02 - Schedule of work crap that'll need doing later this month.
03 - A bag of nuts which must be a few months old.

THREE THINGS I WANT TO DO BEFORE I DIE
01 - Stop working or find some job I like.
02 - Stop working or find some job I like.
03 - Stop working or find some job I like.

THREE WAYS TO DESCRIBE MY PERSONALITY
01 - Stubborn.
02 - Helpful.
03 - Messed-up.

THREE BAD THINGS ABOUT MY PERSONALITY
01 - Bull-headed/stubborn.
02 - Too uneasy with major life changes.
03 - Too inclined to become addicted to things. (Runs in the family.)

THREE PARTS OF YOUR HERITAGE
01 - German
02 - German
03 - American? (Father was born in Germany, mother's parents were.)

THREE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT MY BODY
01 - All my limbs are still connected.
02 - I have all of my teeth (though some are far from mint condition)
03 - I have two eyes.

THREE THINGS I DON'T LIKE ABOUT MY BODY
01 - Weight.
02 - Out of shapeness.
03 - Bendy toes.

THREE THINGS MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
01 - I can be highly and totally stupid in serious and deadly ways.
02 - I've not been to a medical doctor in four years, never went to a OBGYN. (See point #1!) I have insurance, I just don't like going.
03 - I had about thirty roommates during my four years at college because I just couldn't live with anyone. I'm a really bad roommate, especially for college kids.

THREE THINGS I SAY THE MOST
01 - God fucking dammit.
02 - Like.
03 - Grrrr!

THREE PLACES YOU WANT TO GO
01 - Home.
02 - Under my bed.
03 - Somewhere other than work.

THREE NAMES THAT YOU GO BY
01 - Thistle
02 - Thistle-Chaser
03 - TC (don't like)

THREE SCREEN NAMES YOU HAVE OR HAD
01 - Thistle (see above)
02 - Calico
03 - Snowwolf (my first "fandom name" decades back, now makes me twitch)



All this free time at work. Wish I could be doing things I'd like to do at home! Well, at least I can LJ and read some fics...

*nods agreement* Me too! My roommates had a fight last year, and I locked my door and hid under my desk. Scary stuff, I hate it.

yay for memes! :-)

OMG, I hear this. I worry about choking when I'm alone, too. *shivers* Even worse than being alone I worry about it happening when my son is around because I can't imagine how frightening it would be for him to see.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh! Choking too, yeah! Six Feet Under did an ep on a woman who was just siting there, eating salad, and choked to death. Then I think of me, who eats while online, and so laughing and gasping and stuff. I'm so doomed!

Even worse than being alone I worry about it happening when my son is around because I can't imagine how frightening it would be for him to see.

Ugh, yeah! Understandable.

Would you believe I'm actually working up to having this conversation with my mother? "If I die while in my apartment and my cat ends up having to eat part of me to stay alive, please do not be mad at her...". It's scary as hell that that's necessary.

THREE BAD THINGS ABOUT MY PERSONALITY
01 - Bull-headed/stubborn.

Same here. I think everyone I've ever known for any length of time has called me stubborn at least once. It's not necessarily a bad thing (or, at least, there are definately worse personality traits one can have). I love this meme by the way. I think I may just steal it :p

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Steal it! Steal it! I love seeing other peoples' answers!
