*sigh* Well, mine is not as exciting or even as well written as some of these, but here it goes.
I was born and raised around Fort Bragg, NC. Daddy was army for 11 years. LOL. Even drove a Humvee(sp?) to the hospital in order to see me for the first time. Ha, the first time I laid eyes on my dad, his face was still painted in camo and he had just come out of the fields from a couple weeks of training. I enjoy being around the military, and as weird as it sounds they are a different sort of people. Many times I find myself gravitating towards people that I didnt know were military. LOL Its an attitude, I suppose.
I am currently going to school with the goal of being a veterinarian. I originally expected to be an equine vet, but I have begun to doubt the specialty area, so well see where I go. I have decided to be a veterinarian, because I have always been good around animals and have always been drawn to them. I also have a passion for science, mainly around biology and genetics. I also have this habit(addiction) of collecting animals, and that can be expensive, so my parents in their wisdom had started brain-washing me early on that I would NEED a good career to pay for my addict-ahem-hobbies..
I take after my father in personality. It is probably why I CANNOT get along with my mother. Serious personality conflicts. I tend to be a choler-matic/choly, I think I got that right anyway. We did personality tests in highschool and I recall those being my dominant and subordinate personalities. Basically, the choleric is the dominant one and tends to be a smart*ss, critical, and, at times, emotionally cold. While the phlegmatic and melancholic, tends to be very agreeable with other people. Good stuff, it's Four Temperments/Humors, you should read up on it! The most ironic thing about my personalities, is that they conflict dramatically. Thats another important about me, I favor ironic humor. No harm meant by it, so please dont be offended if I get to picking too badly. Its nothing personal, I promise and as Davaroo can confirm, I often email anyone I think might be taking me too seriously. If I dont pick up on your offense, I am truly sorry. No hard feelings.
Several years ago, my mother decided each of the children(my younger brother, younger sister, and I) were going to get a chick for Easter. We did and over the course of 3 years, the birds were taken by predators. We went chicken-less for several years. Until the one day I noticed my boyfriends family had an empty long abandoned coop in their backyard. Now I have a growing flock of heritage breed chickens, 3 turkeys, and a rabbit hutch full of quail. I also plan to expand to ducks and geese, but thats next spring. I also have horses and dogs. I prefer big dogs, mainly my German Shepherds. I hope to deal with German Shepherds later in life as part of my "hobby," I hope to breed high-quality working dogs for the police and military. As well as the schutzhund and related works.
Oh yeah, my screenname, might as well get that one out of the way too. That kind of goes back to the personality thing. Wolf=choleric and Kim=phlegmatic/melancholic. Yeah, weird, I know. Adam(my boyfriend for almost 5 years now) calls me Wolfie at times to get my attention when there are more than one Kim or if he just plain wants to be "sweet". In a way I answer to 3-4 different names: Kim, Kimmie(only by me second youngest uncle, and apparently Davaroo the other day when he called me a devil
), Kimberly(usually when I'm in trouble), and Wolf(ie). If anyone has noticed, while typing I switch between Wolf and Kim. Doesn't matter which you call me by, I answer to both.
Well, I think that is about it. If I missed something let me know. Hope you enjoyed.
