My favourite candy is Swedish Berries. Yum!

“Satisified” by The Odds is my personal theme song. It’s about feeling good about your life, no matter what other people say you “should” be doing, or how you “should” be measuring your success. It’s me — I like my life, I’m a happy person.

It really bothers me that although the handicapped and pregnant lady parking at the Superstore is right next to the entrance, the cart return kiosk is like, a kilometer away. So you get the nice close parking, but then you have to trudge out to no man’s land with your cart anyway. I think the Superstore parking lot designers have some serious thinking to do on this issue.

I don’t think I embarrass easily, but this one time, I got my hair caught in a printer at work. I had to actually rip out the hair to get free because even though lots of people were walking by, I was too ashamed to admit that my head was physically attached to the printer and ask for help. I had a little tuft of horn-like hair at the front of my forehead for many months to keep me humble.

My poker nickname is “Bittermaker” because I like to exclaim that when I have 80% of a good hand, and just can’t draw out for that last good card. Also I think it has a nice double meaning in that I am the Bittermaker, I will make you Bitter, Losers! I’m such a bad-ass.

I hate shopping for myself, but I love to buy gifts for people. And gift wrap. Paper is so fabulous.

I’m a really, really good touch typist. When I’m on a roll, it kind of sounds like a machine gun in here. I hear that touch typing is going the way of the dinosaur, because kids these days are learning to use computers long before they have the discipline to sit down and do the drills required to touch-type, and that makes me sad. But on the plus side, I could be a really, really good secretary. Or maybe a court recorder.
