You're Alaska!

You're big, bulky, and extremely wild. At the same time, you're rather
cold and standoffish, even a loner of sorts. Taming you may be one of the last great
quests of the people who do manage to find you or even seek you out. So many of them
just want to plunder you for what you have of value, but there are a few, the ones
who will stick with you, that truly value your rugged remoteness. As long as no one
is spilling stuff on you, you are truly beautiful.

I'm tired (but bored), so I'll just post a bunch of memes and hope y'all don't defriend me for my lack of content.

5 Quirks
1. I must have the bed made & smooth before I can go to sleep at night. Doesn't matter if that means I'm making the bed right before I get in it, it must be done.

2. I have a very bad habit of making VERY SURE someone's okay with something they agreed to do. "We can do this or that." "Okay, let's do this." "Okay." "Are you sure, because we could do that." "No, this is good." "Really? You sure? We don't have to do anything if you don't want to...." It gets annoying.

3. I hate using the phone. Hate it. I like talking to my friends for a bit, but then I start getting uncomfortable. If I have to make a cold call? I'm screwed.

4. My nails always have to be painted. I get very stressed and nitpicky if they're not.

5. I used to think I was insanely shy. Nope - I'm just very uncomfortable when I don't feel like I'm on my turf. I need a wall to put my back on, either physical or mental.



5 Geographic Comments
1. Minneapolis is very green. Trees everywhere (provided they haven't been hit by Dutch Elm, poor things).

2. We have the 2nd highest number of theater companies in the U.S.

3. Minneapolis and St. Paul have very different grid systems. Minneapolis makes sense to me, even though it's two grids forced together at an awkward angle (one runs north-south and one runs along the Mississippi River). St. Paul's grid is impossible for me to figure out. I don't even know if there is a grid, or if it just grew organically from its trading post roots. This makes me fear for my navigational skills whenever we make it to London.

4. Since our apartment is basement-level, we have learned to accept the spiders that inevitably find their way into our space, as they trap the flies and ants that also find their way into our space. I do clean out the cobwebs on a regular basis, and I shoo the spiders outside when we have company coming.

5. We live in one of the richest neighborhoods in the city. This is why we don't have huge parties in our apartment anymore.
