*~*All about You*~*
Most happy moment: Not really any definitive moments, but whenever my cat climbs up on my chest and nuzzles my chin is always one of the few happy moments of my day
Most sad moment: pretty sad that all these emotions have so far revolved around my pets, but when my cat Sybil died. We had her practically my whole life. She was 17, I was only about a year older. I grew up with her
Most angry moment: This is going to get personal, but this survey was a dare, so...when my father moved back in with my family and my parents forced me to go to family therapy, and I went once and refused to go again and thus was basically grounded and had all my privleges taken away from me for nearly a year
Most confusing moment: Tied in to the previous situation, when I scribbled on my nightstand something about killing myself and my parents...don't really know why I did that and certainly wasn't serious. Realize this was like 13 years ago and is
well behind me...
Most embarrasing moment: Back in 8th grade, I had just come back from this terrible cold and I was still sneezing, so I sneezed in class and went up front to ask the teacher for a tissue, and the entire bottom half of my face was covered in snot and mucus and was hanging from my nose to my hand like a spider web.
Most regretful moment: Not finishing college
Most sinful moment: Stealing my mom's ciggarettes and selling them to my uncle so he could dispose of them. Which I still contend is better than her actually smoking them. Can't really think of a good one.
Most dirty moment: Burying a running hose in the dirt in backyard of our Jersey shore house with my cousin when we were 5. We were covered in mud and they couldn't pull the damn thing out. That is what you meant by dirty, isn't it?
