Getting to know you...

[TribalRats]

My first pets name was princess, she was a lab mix that I got when I was 2 and who passed away in my arms when I was 17 years old. She was the best friend I have ever had.

[Cassiepeia]

Bed time is somewhere between 9.30pm and Midnight (depending on whether I watch something on TV that night or not).

My dream job would be...writer/novelist (not journalist...ick!)

Favourite hobby...probably writing, although when I'm in the mood I do love drawing.

I have 1 sister (younger) and two step-siblings...a brother and a sister, whom I never see.

Favourite animal is the domestic dog (it's funny...I don't actually have the same affection for wild dogs/canines that I do domestic ones).

Favourite childhood memory is when I was 4 my mother made me a birthday cake in the shape of a house and I remember standing at the counter, my eyes only just looking over the top at the big cake, and the roof, which mum hadn't secured properly with toothpicks, slid right off in front of me onto the counter. Still makes me laugh today.

My childhood hero? I have no idea. I don't really think I had one.

My first pets name was Mopsy, he was this big blue long haired moggy that I loved dearly. I was devastated that we couldn't take him with us when we moved (had to give him to a neighbour because he freaked out when we were packing to go).

My question....What was your favourite class in school (either primary/elementery or highschool)?

Mine was Agriculture, I loved being with the animals and growing beans etc... made school bearable for a while.

Cass.

[Rivsky]

Bed time is 9:30pm (what a wuss!!!) on weeknights but usually anywhere up to midnight on weekends.

My dream job would be...doggy daycare

Favourite hobby...photography

I am the oldest and have 1 sister, 4 half brothers and 1 half sister.

Favourite animal is domestic animal is dog - wild would have to be tigers (especially white ones!!)

Favourite childhood memory is my trip to Disneyworld when I was 8 and finding out that Minnie Mouse (my favourite character at the time) was left handed like me!!

My childhood hero? Can't recall one.

My first pets name was Tara - she was a GSD - beautiful dog.

My favourite class in primary school was PE and creative writing and high school tourism and legal studies.


My question - what time do you get up in the morning? (I get up at 5:30am - which is why I go to bed so early!!!)

[IceyBlueSibes]

Bed time for me is usually anywhere from 11PM - 2 AM. Sometimes I will fall asleep much earlier, but it's on a rare occassion. I will sometimes stay up till 5 or 6 in the morning.

Hmm, my dream job would be a doggy day care or a shelter for animals, but it wouldn't be like most. I'd make it *look* like a doggy day care LOL

My favorite hobby would be anything involving my animals.

I'm the baby of my family. I have three older brothers, and a sister-in-law.

My favorite animal is a tie between dogs and cats.

I really don't know of a favorite childhood memory. I don't really remember anything from when I was little. One thing I did love, was going to North Carolina to visit my grandma. She lived next to her daughter, and they were the only houses around. My cousin and I used to go feed the cows that were down the road.

Never had a childhood hero... atleast I don't think.

My first pets name was Rocky, a dobie/rottie cross. We really didn't have him for very long, so I don't know if I would consider him my first pet. Next to him would be Sheiba, the GR/ChowChow X. She was my best childhood buddy.

Favorite class would have to be my nursing classes. I loved my teachers.

Getting up all depends on whether or not I have to work in the morning, and how tired I am, or if I have somewhere to go. LOL

Work: 7:00AM or 8:00 AM
Generally I get up anywhere between 10-11. Sometimes earlier if I can't sleep, or sometimes later if I'm really tired (like 12pm-1pm). If I get up really early (i.e. 7) I generally will go back to sleep about an hour later, and wake up around 10.

My question is:

What are you most afraid of? It can be anything...

Mine would be ROACHES!!! I am scared to death of those things. Next would be losing the things that mean the most to me (my animals, family, boyfriend, etc).

[Cassiepeia]

I get up anywhere from 5am - 8am, depending on what time I went to bed.
Rivsky...I love getting up early too.

What am I afraid of? Hmmm....I don't think I have enough time to write it all down here. LOL I'm plagued with anxiety.
I guess if we're talking stock standard phobias, spiders would be a pretty high on my list. I'm not afraid to look at them or get up close to them if they're behind glass or not able to "get" me. But if one is above a doorway, I can't walk underneath it (I've had them drop on me before) and I always check my bedroom quickly before I go to bed...just in case. And I run screaming from the room if one starts crawling towards me (I have a can of spider spray next to my bed and next to my favourite loungeroom chair...does that tell you something? ).

Cass.

ETA an embarrassing moment for your amusement. Hehehe! When I first moved out of home I shared a flat with my best friend and one day I was home alone, no spider spray in the house, and I needed to use the toilet (it was a tiny room seperate from the bathroom). Well, I opened the door and noticed a HUGE huntsman spider (look 'em up on google.... ) on the light shade. I freaked out, and swore I wouldn't go in there until my best friend got home to kill the evil arachnid, but I needed to go badly so I decided I had no real choice in the matter and had to go in there. But Ah-Hah! I had an idea! I got an umbrella and opened it up, squeezed it through the toilet doorway and sat down, umbrella over my head, just in case the spider should fall on me.
My bestfriend had to sit down because she was laughing so much when I told her. I'm still embarrassed about it to this day.

[Novel]

Bed time depends on what is going on in my life. Sometimes it is 10AM, sometimes it is 5AM, sometimes it is 11PM (normal).

My dream job is exactly what I am doing now. Going to work at a job I love that also provides me with all the money that I need to sustain my favorite things, the dogs. The only thing I think I would change is the number of hours I work vs the number of hours I am with the dogs and competing, but not by much, I enjoy my job too much.

My favorite hobby is crafting/sewing of any type. If it's a craft, I've done it; soapmaking, candlemaking, scrapbooking, crocheting, knitting, decupage, clothes making, embroidery, cross-stitch, glass etching, rubber stamping, and so on and so forth. I can't say the dogs are a hobby any more. They are so much more than that. They are what I spend the majority of my leisure time on. But, I also will spend time with them in the house while I am sewing or such. My third greatest love is reading. I am always reading numerous books at any given time. I will read almost anything but prefere specific genres for a truly relaxing moment.

I have one younger sister. We are ten years apart. We've never spent much time in the same house so I don't know her all that well, plus she lives 500 miles away!

My favorite animal is the lowland Gorilla.

My favorite childhood memories would be of any surrounding my grandparent's home and neighborhood.

My childhood hero was Aragorn/Strider from LotR.

I grew up with alot of animals. Puss Puss was our cat who periodically attacked our dogs. Ratso was my rat. He was the greatest. Moose was our Chesepeake Bay Retriever/Weim mix. Fritz was a great Weim. I always remember him being very old with a very long tongue. Heather was a Weim. Katie was her daughter who was born with digestive problems and died at a year of age. Dancer was a Weim from great show lines who was killed by a car the morning of his first show. Rocky was a Weim who I actually remember my mom buying him all the way through finishing his championship. Boomer was a beagle. My dad loved to rabbit hunt, and this dog was notorious for running away and my dad would lose him almost everytime they went hunting. They were all very much part of my childhood as well as the occasional litter of puppies that I LOVED to play with!

My fav class would have been my college Anthropology course, followed closely by my Milton class (although that was one of the toughest classes I've ever taken.)

I get up when I have to, but rarely set an alarm clock.

My schedule rotates around alot. I work many 3p - 11p shifts, and many 11p - 7a shifts. I love the constant change. Other people may not, but I prefer it!

I am most afraid of drowning or being killed in a fire. But, I would say those are the two things I would least like to have happen, but overall am not afraid of anything.

My question: If you could travel to any time and place, where would you go? Why?

[rmci]

Bed time is usually 10pm. I get up for work at 5am.

My dream job - Not sure about this one. I wanted to be a Vet when I was little, but thought I wouldn't be able to handle seeing animals in pain.

My favorite hobby is sketching, though lately I haven't had much time to do any.

I have one older sister, 6 years apart.

I love all animals, especially my cat & two dogs.

My favorite childhood memories would be playing in my backyard with friends under our many fruit trees.

My childhood heroes- Charlie's Angels

I had a lot of different pets growing up- Can't remember which was my first. I loved my budgie, Poopsie, my husky mix, Lady, and my cats, Minka, Simba, Christmas, and Dude.

My fave class- Anything creative;Plastics, Woodworking, Crafts.

I get up at 5am for work and on the weekend's 5am to let the dogs out, then back to bed for an hour or so.

I work from 8am to 5pm Mon-Fri

I am totally afraid of snakes.

If you could travel to any time and place, where would you go? Why?- This one's going to take some thought to answer...

[DogLover8]

My bed time is anywhere from 9pm to 11pm

My dream jobs would be a Dog Groomer, and Dog Daycare. My hobbies are Cartography, Hiking, and Computers. I love reading about Psychology, Biology, Animals, and many other topics. My favorite course subject is Biology. I enjoy watching wildlife.

What is your favorite singer or band?

Cassiepeia- Do you have a tarantula? I think you need a pet tarantula.

Cassipeia- Do you have a tarantula? I think you need a pet tarantula.

Heck no! I wouldn't have a tarantula in my house.

My favorite childhood memory would be living in Singapore until I was 5 years old. I loved it there.

My childhood hero.... I didn't have one. Actually, it was probably She-Ra Princess of Power!

My first pet was a silver tabby called Skeeter. He was around before I was born and sadly passed when I was 8 or 9 years old.

I am very affraid of heights, the idea of drowning, cockroaches, grasshoppers, locusts (BIG insects or flying insects!). I'm not affraid of spiders, though (unless they look seriously poisonous, like mouse spiders).

If I could travel to any time and place, I think I'd like to live in renaissance times, as part of a royal family. I like their elegance and well-manered natures.

My favourite singer is Elliott Smith and Tom Vek, my favourite band... well I have MANY but one of my very favourites is Belle and Sebastian.

How many times have I moved in my life? Oh gosh, just let me think for a bit *starts counting on fingers* - I have moved house a total of 8 times in nearly 20 years.

Ok, my question to you is...
Are you allergic or sensitive to anything?

I'm very sensitive to fake gold jewellery or scented face moisturisers (my skin goes all red), and I also sometimes get really sick if I have a lot of milk at one time (I get dizzy, my ears ring and I feel like I'm going to throw up or faint). I can't tolerate unflavoured milk - I like chocolate milkshakes but they make me feel sick.

[DogLover8]

I will add a little more.

I get up at around 7:30am to 9am. My favorite childhood memory is my father showing me a frog at 3.

Forgot my favorite singers.

My favorites singers are LeAnn Rimes, Dolly Parton, Britney Spears, Billy Gilman, and Eminem. What a mix.

[britishbandit]

I work differenent shifts all the time, so bedtime is never really a set time. Plus I'm an insomniac too, I don't sleep much no matter what time I get to bed.

My dream job - Working with animals. I'd love to train dogs, but I'd also love to work with the big cats. I have a fascination with Tigers/Panthers/Lions...etc.

My hobbies - Spending time with my pets, photography, research, reading and of course the dreaded internet! LOL To name a few.

My favourite animals are dogs, of course, but I also love tigers, such incredible and beautiful animals.

My favourite childhood memories have to be vacationing to Malta and Spain with my family, and the weekends at my grandparents house.

My childhood hero/s - my grandparents, and still are. Such incredible people.

My first pet, I believe was a goldfish named "Goldie" (hey, I was 4..LOL). I didn't much care for fish at the time, and desperately wanted a dog or cat. Not long after I got my cat (Kitty...yes, I was still 4, and not very creative...haha). My first dog was a Papillon named Pepe.

My favourite class in highschool was geography by far. Loved it, and still love learning about it now, every aspect. I kept all my notes and tests from highschool, interesting reads.

I'm really not afraid of much, but if I had to pick something, I'd say CLOWNS. They freak me out...LOL. Probably from watching IT soo many times as a kid.

If I could travel to any time and place, I'd love to be in Ancient Egyptian times, or back in Medievel times.

My favourite singer, I don't have one, I love so many musicians, it's way to hard to pick. I do really love the band Great Big Sea though (seen them 3 times in concert).

How many times have I moved - Well, I think I'm in house number 33, and since I own this one, there won't be many more moves in my future. I HATE moving...LOL.

I'm allergic to penecillin. I wasn't always, but suddenly was. I had a pretty serious reaction, and not a good idea to ever try it out again. YIKES.


Ok my question - I can't think of anything.....hhhmmmm........ok, what's your Chinese Zodiac sign? I'm a monkey.

[reggies mom]
