- I HATE when people play with my hair. HATE it. It makes me shudder.
- I've been a sci-fi geek ever since I was a little, tiny girl. I had a Dune coloring book as a kid. That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about me.
- I was/am a big Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. (see fact #2.) I have seasons 1,2,3,4 and 6 on dvd. Someday I'll get 5. But I will NEVERNEVERNEVER buy or watch again, season 7. Season 7 is dead to me. DEAD. Even if I were rich, I still wouldn't buy the super-duper, extra-chocolatey, all-seasons-in-one dvd box set. Because of season 7. I'm still THAT angry. (Probably that's not healthy.) I can hold a grudge, y'all. Oh wait...
- I can hold a grudge.
- I would like to get a tattoo. Of a monarch butterfly on my calf. I'm just trying to work up the courage.
- I have an old school Nintendo that still works. I can KICK YOUR ASS at Super Mario Brothers 1-3.
- But I'm almost incapable of playing PS2, X-Box or GameCube games. There's...too many options or something. I can go from right to left and jump up a few times, that's it. Being able to open doors, climb ladders or actually pick things up makes me nervous.
- I loathe (white, wheat or rye? Yeah, one person got that joke. And she knows who she is.) the novel Moby Dick. I had to read it for a lit class in college and hated every word of it. I brought an article to class that declared it "The Most-Overrated American Novel." Man, that was fun.
- I've met two semi-famous people while working retail.
- I've never smoked a cigarette or done illegal drugs.
- I'm a total night owl. I pretty much can't go to bed before midnight, unless I'm sick unto death. But I'm a raving bitch in the morning. Ask anyone. They'll tell you stories.
- This one's for Mame: The first time I read Flowers in the Attic, I was like, 10 years old and [SPOILER! Hee.] the Chris/Cathy incest went COMPLETELY over my head. I skipped it or repressed it or something. So, I heard someone talking about how gross that was and was all, "Whaaa?" So I reread it. And a little piece of my innocence died. Good times, that.

12 Random Facts About ME (GOD. Egocentric much?)
I'm bored. Guess what that means, my babies? I'ma post something dumb to while away the time. God, I love the Internets. I like these "Random Facts" posts. But my facts are going to be kinda vague so as to maintain my super-secret identity. Here goes:

OK Bea...I have read through the blogs of you and my close relative Mame. I MUST take a moment and let you know how I ADORED FITA the book. Of course, it has been YEARS since I have read it, however, reading this most interesting internet blog has me itching to go get it and give it a well over re-read. I also must say that the first time I read the said novel by VC Andrews, the incest went COMPLETELY over my head as well. I am soooo glad to know that I am not the only one!! Of course, on the 2nd or 3rd re-read, I got it.
It is very interesting that I am commenting on yours and Mame's obsession on FITA since just this past Wednesday, I was perusing my local Barnes and Noble and happened upon a table of book that had a sign over it reading "Banned Books". I, of course, stopped to check it out. Would you know that FITA was on it?!?! Of course!!! I wish that I could remember all that was also on the table 'cause it was enlightening. I know that How to Eat Fried Worms was on it...that was wierd. I must go see if I can find the list....
