Moi

At a loss for anything to blog about right now…
Hello, moving house tomorrow morning!
I figured I would turn to the natural subject people rely on when they have nothing interesting to say.
The always thrilling and informative subject that is me.
I thought I’d just write down a bunch of facts about myself, striving for the more interesting, odd ones rather than for instance that my feet are a size 10.
So here we go. Hold onto your hats:

1) I have been a vegetarian since I was 12. My grandmother’s house was next to a slaughterhouse.
2) I enjoy curse words.
3) My hair has been dyed every color of the rainbow and I used to have a mohawk.
4) I like dogs better than cats, and crows best of all.
5) I am almost 5’11” (hence the big feet).
6) I have never modeled. But my cousin was a successful male model in the UK. Damn him and his perfect cheekbones!
7) I have 6 tattoos.
8) My sister is my best friend. She is 23 months younger and for 3 weeks during the year we say we are only 1 year apart.
9) My sister is teeny weeny, and the best mother I know.
10) My parents let us read any book in the house that we wanted.
11) I love libraries.
12) I used to paint huge murals.
13) As a late teen I got in trouble for graffitti-ing and had to perform 88 hours of community service.
14) I love zombie movies and also french art film.
15) I have two munchkins.
16) I always remember my dreams.
17) I once pierced my friend’s nose with a very large darning needle.
18) I used to be scared of heights but spending a lot of time on top of a billboard cured me.
19) I believe in magic.
20) I also believe that people should be as kind as possible, and that we owe the earth a stewardship.
21) When I was 2, I ate as much pasta as my Nonna could shovel into me.
22) My Italian relatives have had a huge impact on who I am, and how much I love risotto.
23) I stood beside the PA for an entire Motorhead concert.
24) My husband, a close friend and mother all have the same birthday 5 days before mine. My family contains an abundance of Pisces.
25) Indian food is my favorite dinner.
26) I boxed for 5 years. My cool fighter nickname was Belladonna.
27) I’m a mean cook and dessert maker.
28) I always thought I’d become a vet or a naturalist.
29) My favorite colors are purple and black.
30) I am inspired by the wonderful women in my life. And chocolate. One of my dearest friends outran a tsunami so I put her in a book.
