Meme shamelessly (in entirety) gacked from sparklebutch
I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes office supplies."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer.</>

I am a homecare nurse, and I love chocolate ice cream.

[calime]

Well, then we're quite similar...as I have a profession that is approximately medical, and I do adore ice cream too..though my favourite is caramel. But I love chocolate, too *s*.

I'm proud (...and frequently mocked) owner of an inflatable Christmas tree *g*

funny that you're mentioning office supplies. I... erm, have this thing for staplers, especially the electric ones - in a strictly platonic way, of course! Used to drive my co-workers a bit crazy... ;-)

My question:
What do you like on your pizza?

[cyberducks.livejournal.com]

Hee, I am the proud owner of a fake! christmas tree, and also often called tasteless because of it.

[calime]

Hmmm...inflatable Christmas tree rules in sense of not having to clean the needles...and I have this problem of calling the staplers by a name none of my co-workers are familiar with *g*.
Pizza is nice in all ways..but best if it has either mushrooms or bleu cheese or shrimps on it..or all of the above *s*.

I assisted in the birth of the four kittens of Maya, the feline currently residing muddily and happily in my lap. I massaged her. I petted her. I forced her to sit down after the first kitten came out, when she decided it's boring and painful and she doesn't wanna play anymore. I cut the cord on that first kitten, since she insisted on running away dragging him behind her. The next three, she already got the point.

Hmm. Asking. Tell me anything you want to tell me. You said you liked to talk :)

Be careful...you may be asking for trouble *ggg*.
Anything? Well, I love Good Omens too. And I'm not even ashamed to say that actaully I love Pratchett's Discworld stuff. And I intend to read more from Gaiman. And if I had to pick just one favourite book with me to take to solitary confinement, I would be soo in trouble, 'cause I have many many favourites..and the best favourites I don't really need to take with me so much, as I know them almost by heart in some cases.
In addition of being bookaholic, I may safely claim a multitude of other sins, like having too many self-indulging hobbies (that includes my job), being a coffee addict, a workaholic, a sharp-tongued dragonbitch, a horsegirl, a shameless lover of slash and all things Methos (and Duncan, and Amanda, and Kronos, and Joe, and *ggg*), a cat worshipper, a beer drinker, a bull terrier owner...and a bunch of other dysfunctional personalities.
There now..and don't say I did not warn you!

I didn't know one was supposed to be ashamed of liking Discworld. I'm so un-trendy.

Wonderful, isn't it? The birthing stuff are my favourite emergencies, provided that I'm successful, of course *g*.

I've got a patchwork job made up of being a translator, advertising "agency" / copywriter, teacher and psychology student. and stuff. You wonder how one can fit all that into 7-day-weeks with 24-hour-days? So do I. *LOL*
Well, I'm in the process of reducing these functions. :-)

I like... boy, that's a long list. I like most kinds of music, I love books and everything that has to do with communication or helps me to understand another person. I adore chocolate and my husband. And... oops, time's up. ;-) Well, lots more.

Now a question in return: How would you describe your core - what is your life about, would you say?

LOL..that feels familiar...I do clinical veterinary work, teach a bit, struggle with a PhD, and yes, I do some translation work as a sideline *g*.

Hmmmm...if I had to put it into a few words, I'd say it's about discovery and getting to know. Not only what or when, but also why and how and what if and just because *s*.
