Okey doke . . . I'll do this in my fever induced state.
Name: Kris
Birthday: October
Hometown: Texas
Current Residence: Texas (can you tell I don't like giving specifics over the internet?
)
Relationship Status: Technically not married for almost a decade
Political Views: Tends to lean towards the left
Religious Views: Atheistic
Activities and Interests: Backpacking, hiking, camping, chickens, cross stitching, earthdog training, reading, gardening, finding new and exciting ways to practically destroy a home in a futile effort to find a lost corn snake, and breeding various bugs for fun, food, and profit
Favorite Music: Only good stuff <--- I like that answer
Favorite TV Shows: We don't get television
Favorite Movies: Wes Anderson films, and I regretfully admit to being a sucker for romantic comedies
Favorite Books: historical fiction . . . my favorite book is The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford.
About Me: Well . . . I don't like to talk about me, actually. Participation in forums on my part usually occurs after an exhaustive round of convincing myself nothing truly horrible can occur from communicating with people outside my normal life, followed by another agonizing round of wondering if my posts make me seem like an idiot or a weirdo. But I'll try . . .
I was raised through grade school in a suburb, where both my mother and I were terribly unhappy. My mother compensated for not living in the country by turning our house into a zoo . . . we moved several times to different houses within a block of each other in an attempt to get neighbors who wouldn't complain about the ducks and geese in the backyard. Before I went into high school my mother finally worked up the courage to flee back to the family, where we could have a proper farm. As she acquired more goats, sheep, cattle, and horses, I got increasingly restless and depressed over not having any poultry. My depression was whisked away the day she left and came home with a dozen chicken eggs and 15 guinea eggs . . . I incubated them all, and it was the first time I had a 100% hatch rate. Ducks and Geese were replaced by chickens and guineas as my favorite fowl, and I vow to again have guineas as soon as the SO and I have settled into our new home. For now, my NN fills in for them.
I will automatically like a person who compliments my animals. I dislike children with a loathing I can't completely account for, which is unfortunate because they adore me, and people think I'm fantastic with them. Halloween is my favorite holiday, I love history and visiting historical places, and board games are absolutely wonderful. If I can't find people to play a board game with me, I'll twist the rules so that I'm able to play it with myself without cheating (it's not as easy as it sounds). Camping in a tent or on the ground is the only form of camping I'll acknowledge . . . if you're sleeping in a camper, cabin, or your vehicle, you might as well be in a hotel. I have a special fondness for bugs, and if you are a guest at my house, you are absolutely forbidden to harm any form of bug, insect, or creepy crawly you may happen to notice, even if they have pincers or stingers. Pumpkins are my favorite things to grow in my garden. I have never in my life worn make up, and I protect myself from the sun to the point that I'm always outside but still manage to have skin that's paler than paper.
Hmm, I guess I'll copy the OP and add that I'm descended from Benedict Arnold. And now that I'm done, I'll wander off and worry about my post and whether or not I should delete the whole thing . . .
ETA I'm loving reading everyone's replies . . . y'all are awesome. Like, billion hot dog awesome
