I stole this idea from Robert's journal. It's 100 things about me, me, me!! Sorry, Robert, as I know you'd love your journal to be unique. :)
1) Yes, Avril really is my name, but it's my middle name, and the one I give online for anonymity's sake.
2) My middle name is pronounced with a long A, like in April, which means it is NOT pronounced like that of Avril Lavigne. (Hence the reason I sometimes sign "Ave," and never "Av." - because an "e" at the end of a word signifies a long vowel, in most cases.)
3) I am in love with RuneScape, Burger Time, Pac-Man, and my Vampire game.
4) I'm married to a guy I've been with for 5 1/2 years now. I was fifteen when we started dating.
5) I am not racist.
6) Racist people bother me quite a bit, but I tolerate them.
7) I believe in perfection in a person--I also believe that there are a lot of perfect people in this world, which should give people an idea of what I think perfection is.
8) I am pregnant (haha, bet ya'll didn't see that one coming).
9) My favorite kinds of foods are sweet breads (muffins, brownies, cake, Hostess and Debbie snacks, honeybuns, doughnuts, that sort of thing).
10) I can't eat lamb or venison because I get images of cute little creatures in my head.
11) I like the taste of venison.
12) I love most *kinds* of music, but there are exceptions.
13) One time I ate an entire pan of brownies in two days.
14) I am skinny (didn't see that one coming either, did you?).
15) I am a brunette with brown eyes.
16) I sometimes wish my hair were darker, and that I had dark green eyes.
17) I love "chick" cars. lol
18) I also love Pontiac (cue evil laughter).
19) I can't abide people who chew with their mouths open, or people who suck their teeth.
20) I loved JROTC and Drill Team in high school, but now have no desire whatever to join the military.
21) My dream job is to be a literary editor. Or possibly a magazine editor.
22) But I'd also love to be an author.
23) I am a mystery shopper sometimes in my spare time. (Didn't know that one, did you?)
24) I take an instant dislike (and distinct hatred) to people who look at my husband and tell me I can do better.
25) The reason for this is because I feel like they are telling me I made a mistake, and I know better, and I feel they should trust my judgment.
26) That isn't to say I don't think he could stand a few improvements. lol I most certainly *do* think he could stand a few improvements, but I still love him the way he is.
27) My favorite name for a boy is Bishop, and I don't care if you like it or not. :oP
28) I love romantic comedy movies, romantic novels, and anything else romantic. I am one big, non-hopeless romantic.
29) I like to think for myself rather than accept the general opinion of the public.
30) My favorite pastimes are reading, writing, and studying religions and magic.
31) I practice magic as well, but very rarely nowadays.
32) The place I consider my hometown is Durham, North Carolina.
33) I may live in Alabama, but that doesn't mean I like it here.
34) I collect quotes (really, I have a book where I write down quotes I like).
35) I have what my friends call a "book diary." It lists favorite books and passages, and has a section to write down books I'm borrowing and books I've loaned out.
36) Other than romance, I love non-fiction and some mainstream fiction.
37) I am a grammar and spelling freak.
38) I'm a homebody. I don't like a lot of "excitement," I hate parties, I hate when Clint tries to introduce me to his friends' friends so I have more friends.
39) I am very mature and responsible for my age (I'm not being vain, a lot of people tell me this).
40) Unlike most people my age, I do not like to drive.
41) I want to find a part-time best friend--one who will come and play when I want, but for the most part leave me alone.
42) I am very feminine, not a tomboy at all like I was as a child. I would not mind being a housewife.
43) I am very competitive in some aspects of my life, mostly at work.
44) I am also ambitious at work, and am aiming to climb the corporate ladder inch by slow inch.
45) Not that I want to stay at this job forever, mind you.
46) I love and collect stuffed animals and porcelain dolls.
47) I love interior decorating. I watch a lot of HGTV.
48) I am also a cat lover, and while I like dogs okay, I do not want to own one.
49) I love to cook. Mostly bake.
50) I wish I could be half as adept at sewing and decorating cakes as my mom.
51) I also love crafts, but do not like to keep them in my home. I do not like the way home-crafted items make a home look.
52) I love scrapbooking. I am on my second scrapbook, and intend to make one for my son.
53) I think life has too many small errands that need doing.
54) I am not lazy. Usually.
55) I can't wait to go on maternity leave so I can play housewife. lol
56) I have odd ideas about romantic relationships.
57) I love a variety of people, and am extremely tolerant of other personalities, which is probably why I think so many people are perfect.
58) Needles don't scare me in the least.
59) Spiders do. They are my worst fear.
60) I thought this would be a lot easier.
61) I also thought it wouldn't take this long. Twenty minutes and counting.
62) Jude Deveraux is my all-time favorite author.
63) I hate people who think all romance novels are trashy or sleazy.
64) I think if they think that, they should also think all romantic movies are trashy (but they don't).
65) I also happen to think these are the same people who watch pornography, which I believe is kinda ironic, since it is supposedly the sex scenes in a romance that are supposed to make it trashy.
66) I fit in best with younger and older crowds, for some strange reason or other.
67) My favorite restaurants are Buffalo's, IHOP, Ye Olde Fashioned Ice Cream and Sandwich Café, and No. 1 Kitchen.
68) My favorite colors are pale pink, white, and dark green.
69) My favorite part of my whole body is . . . wait for it . . . my feet!
70) Closely followed by my skintone (but not my skin overall, just the color).
71) I know the first and last names of every guy I've ever kissed, except for one.
72) Not that that's saying a lot, because I've only kissed about seven or eight guys.
73) I am, unfortunately, the jealous type.
74) Being jealous drives me crazy!!!
75) I have never been jealous with anyone except my husband.
76) Nudity in movies bothers me, whether it's men or women getting naked. For what reason, exactly, I'm not sure.
77) I'm a night owl, but not by choice.
78) I always think of what I should have said after I should have said it.
79) Internet teen speak (2 for "to" and "too", 4 for "for," u for "you") irritates me.
80) I sincerely hope I was not as obnoxious as the teenagers I have met online recently, but I think I probably was, just because I hope I wasn't. Does that make sense?
81) My new favorite ice cream is Mayfield's Brown Cow.
82) Closely followed by Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia.
83) I am a fool for sentiment. I have to make myself get rid of things I've had for a long time. And I can't throw the stuff away (the thought saddens me, I have to take it to Good Will).
84) I have always been one to eat A LOT.
85) I take an instant dislike to people who ask if I am either Bulemic or Anorexic. These people are implying I am mentally instable! How very rude.
86) I like reading self-help books, but I take them with a grain of salt and try to think for myself.
87) Even though I'm no longer in school, I still like to write essays, though only on topics I enjoy now.
88) I made overall grades of 100% sometimes in my classes. Once I made a 102.
89) I would love to go to college, but keep forgetting to send in my friggin' applications!
90) I have only one pet--her name is Minxy.
91) I like to draw as a hobby, but I'm not good at it.
92) I have a decent singing voice, but nothing like I had in high school.
93) I think this may be my longest entry ever.
94) I hope people skip over this entry--it is LONG!
95) I love trivia.
96) I love learning.
97) I love learning trivia (muahahahahaha!).
98) I once ate four Arby's regular roast beef sandwiches, a medium curly fry, and a cherry turnover--all in one sitting.
99) I usually eat more than most people.
100) I love vacations to Amelia Island, Florida.

We really have a lot of things in common I never realized. I despise internet teen speak, and I hate it when people chew with their mouths open. There is also a whole lot here that I didn't know about you, like how you pronounce your name...and that...giggle...nudity in movies bothers you...lol...sorry.

J., I've never been to either of those places . . . I have been going to Amelia Island for years, as that's where my grandfather lives. That picture of Heather, Frank, Lilly, & my grandfather is on Amelia Island. Sandy Bottoms is my favorite restaurant on the island. If you get the chance, eat there! Yummy food.
Actually, I can think of lots of names better than Zachary, but none that Clint & I agree on. :)
Robert, yeah, I'm not sure what it is about movies in particular, as I know nudity is everywhere else here in America now, but it's just one of my serious irks. Maybe it's the fact that a lot of parents now take their kids to see R-rated movies???? I'm not sure. But it also bothers me on a more personal level, again, I'm not sure why.
Haven't you people figured out that I sign my shortened name "Ave" for a reason???? lol. If it was pronounced like Avril Lavigne's, I'd sign "Av." Weirdo.
All4Eyez, I like that song! Not one of my favorites, but one I actually enjoy in the rap genre. I used to like a lot of the rap music out there, but it just keeps going downhill, and I'm finding that I like less and less of it now. I also like older country music better, though I like more modern country than rap.
Aw, don't worry about making fun of words. It's an irritation, but I don't hold it against anyone. I went through a "teenspeak" phase when I was thirteen . . . but I gave it up after about two or three months.
I can't believe you guys read the WHOLE thing. lol
Ave
I've never really had a problem with nudity in general (big family, one bathroom..you get over it). But I'm a weirdo too, so there you go.
I always wondered where this "Ave" business came from, considering there wasn't an "e" in your name. I just thought it was rude to ask about it..lol.
Why have you not been keeping up with your magic? I believe that you should write an entry on your magic.
