Hmmm... should be reading for class but instead...
Instead, who am I?
I''m 23 and live in Houston with my dog and my boyfriend. They compete for the title of "love of my life" -- right now the boyfriend is winning since he just bought me an engagement ring. However, the dog may regain the lead if boyfriend does not give me the ring soon!
Only kidding... although... I really do love our dog.
About the dog: See avatar. His name is Odin. We named him after the Norse god of war because there''s really nothing quite as ferocious as a fiesty pomeranian. Hence, my PS name -- Wee Modin -- he''s wee and we usually call him either Modin or "smell toedin". I irresponsibly purchased dear Odin with student loan money during October of 2002. Best mistake EVER! He''s a doll. He''s really smart, too -- he can sit, beg, roll over, play dead, lie down, and dance. Plus he never smells and never takes up too much space in the bed, which is more that I''ll say for boyfriend.
Odin has an irrepressible spirit and a voracious appetite for all things food and non-food. The other day, I came home from breakfast to discover that he had somehow gotten a hold of a sample size packet of advil and destroyed it. The advil was missing, so, assuming he ate it I took him to the vet. 5 hours and $160 later, the vet calls and says,
" Well, the amount of Advil he ate was just at the toxic dose for a dog his size; however, it doesn''t seem to be having an adverse effect on him.... HOWEVER, after we gave him the charcoal, he threw up a button, a human toenail clipping, a piece of paper towel, and a hairball. Does your dog dig in the trash?"
Answer: It would seem so. Dear Odin has gotten a bit plump as of late -- he''s put on his winter weight -- so we''re about to start him on doggie weight watchers. Or perhaps Atkins.
You know, If I invented Atkins for pets, I would have to call it CAtkins.
As for the other man in my life: we met while living abroad in Spain. We were both there for 6 months and just sort of fell in love. We decided to date long-distance after we returned while I graduated from college. Then, I moved out to the west coast for a year after I graduated. After that, I dragged him back to Texas where we are today.
** Interesting Fact: Boyfriend and I are international bowlers. How many of you out there can claim that title, eh? Despite the title, I nearly failed bowling in college -- and I was taking it pass-fail and never missed a class. Boyfriend is pretty terrible too -- he averages around 100 or so. **
Boyfriend is currently studying to become a sommolier (sp?) (wine steward). I''m in my 2d year of law school. Really interesting career choice combination, eh? All that wine brought home certainly hampers my ability to study... hic.. hic.. He''s young too -- 24 -- and before he met me he never imagined that he''d want to get married before 30. Lucky for him I changed his mind
. Just kidding. Lucky for me! He''s fantastic and I love him. He''s great with kids and dogs and likes to take care of me -- who doesn''t like that? Plus he''s witty and quite cute.
Boyfriend is a socialist leaning democrat and I''m a fiscally conservative civil libertarian. Political arguments in our house get quite hot
especially since I disagree with pretty much all mainstream politicians. I also have a pencahnt for playing the devil''s advocate
in arguments.
And I believe I''m becoming addicted to emoticons!
Seriously, though -- I have a theory:
In the South, people get married early, generally around the time they start living together. Living in sin is frowned upon and all that jazz (but not by me -- I''m living in SIN! Oops.)
On the West Coast (he''s from SF Bay Area -- Marin County) people wait to get married until they want to procreate.
Is that about right?
I love law school, which is strange since I might be the only person who''s ever said that outside of an interview. Hey, I never claimed to be normal! I plan to go into civil litigation and work my little tail off. I like to work.
Other bits of information:
- I am the worst dancer the world has ever seen
- I am also extremely clumsy
- I attribute the previous 2 to the fact that I have 13 vertebrae in my spine fused (although I know this isn''t why I''m a klutz or a bad dancer - I was like that pre-fusion....)
- I am impatient and have ADD, or so they say. I don''t believe in ADD, however.
- My favorite book is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. If you haven''t read it, do it! It''s good.
Also, I''m a terrible procrastinator. Which is why I''m writing this -- to avoid reading for class.
