Little Known Things


Katie made me feel guilty. Its been over a year since I last posted. There is much to say, I guess, but I have to ease into it. So this shall do.

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Nope. Except someone else named Heather. Wait- I think I DID meet my namesake once in California- we got a VW from them??? Is that true?

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
About 3 minutes ago reading Katie's blog

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Yeah- I'm sometimes surprised by its legibility. My whiteboard handwriting is another story.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Steak. Ok, at the moment it is actually salami. That's true.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
No. And having lived to this point thinking that "biological clock" would never pass my lips, I'll just have to say that my heart breaks when I hear the ever-louder ticking.

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Nope. I'm a bad friend, I think.

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
No- and although for about a week I wanted to die, I'm SO glad they're gone.

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
If Katie would go with me.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Cinnamon Toast Crunch. And I still love Blueberry Morning but won't pay for it.

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
No

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Not like I used to be. I never have occasion to tote barges or lift bales anymore

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Homemade vanilla

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Teeth

BLACK OR PINK?
I'd like to think I have more soul, but I'm pink. As far as colors go, black

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
My ability to tolerate messiness- I so much prefer tidiness, but I almost challenge myself to put up with mess to see if I can stand it. Sick. And wrong.

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
The Sydneys (mom and nephew)- Katie said it best

WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Cream colored tenny-runners

WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?
A lone mini Easter peanut butter egg left in my candy dish on my desk at school

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
The completely silent and abandoned building

FAVORITE SMELLS?
Rain. I try to find something else that clean, but nothing matches it. And horses.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
Grandma last night. She had already called and left me 2 messages before. It made me sad.

DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
Found it myself. Ha.

FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
Is Iron Chef America a sport?

DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
Yes. I dream of lasik.

FAVORITE FOOD?
Something savory and flaky and meaty probably. Right now all I can think of is the meat pies we ate all the time in South Africa- but that might just be because I haven't eaten in 12 hours and I'm starving.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Scary movies don't scare me. I don't really believe in happy endings, but I'll play along. And like Katie, I'll cry, no matter what.

LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
How to Train Your Dragon. The dragon reminded me of Rocktarded the French Bulldog

FAVORITE SEASON?
Spring. I never believe it will happen.

HUGS OR KISSES?
Yeah, beggars can't be choosers

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
Veterinary Clinical Anatomy and Physiology- because I'm teaching 2 physio classes and need to brush up. I WISH the answer was anything else.... I planned to read one book a week this year. I read one book. Period.

WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?
Three episodes of Parenthood. My jury is still out, but I did cry. That doesn't mean much- it was 2 am and I am an insomniac.


ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?
Beatles.

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
Sometimes it seems that right now I am. Home seems like such a far away thing- I hear the word and I feel The Yellow House and the barn and the yard and the trees. And thats all so far away. Physically, I think South Africa.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?
I can smell death. Is that a talent?
