I saw this in another blog and it was fun to read! I’ll do it in sections to make for easier reading – and so I can get other things done around here. UPDATES in italics… 05 November 09
1. My full name translated into English means, Tantalizing Sweetdrink for Fighting.
2. I’m 5’6”, the shortest amongst the “Sweetdrink” side of my family. The females tend to hit 5’10” by age 13.
3. I keep discovering hidden talents – the latest of which is interior design thru feng shui.
4. I go into a zen-like state when painting walls.
5. I’m married to my bestest friend. He is a beautiful, peaceful hippie. Ironically, that’s the “for Fighting” part of my name.
6. I am the crazy aunt in my family. If I wasn’t so loveable, I’d be the aunt-no-one-talks-about.
7. I love my niece like I’d love my own daughter.
8. My interpersonal shock-absorber is – Never put anything past anyone. Translation: Don’t be shocked at anything anyone does. You never know what goes on inside one’s mind at any given moment.
9. When asked if I trust people in general, I respond, “I trust people to be who they are and do what they do.”
10. When asked if I’m trustworthy, I respond, “You can trust me to be me.”
11. At times, I have issues with brevity.
12. At times, I have issues expounding.
13. Some of my hidden talents were discovered whilst procrastinating.
14. My inner voice has a British accent. It comes out when I talk to myself. Lots of sci-fi as a child – the intelligent characters and evil characters have British accents.
15. Yes, I’m intelligent (80% of the time) and evil (2%). The other 18%… observing, absorbing and processing information.
16. I’m too grown to use the word, “addiction.” I have several VICES, of which I thoroughly enjoy.
17. My vision is so near-sighted I can see inside the pores on my hand.
18. I love Leonard Cohen’s music, poetry, voice & soul so much I named my dog Cohey. I think I’d faint and/or cry if I ever met him.
19. I can do intricate beadwork, but I can’t sew worth a damn.
20. I watch so much Tivo’d tv now, I try to fast forward thru live tv and get pisst when I can’t. Not anymore… we got rid of cable, it was rotting my brain – except HGTV & SciFi (now SyFy).
21. I’m an X-Files junkie. I have seasons 6-9 on DVD, and plan to have the rest by xmas. I get sooooo excited when I catch an episode I’ve never seen! ((like now on Sci-Fi channel)) I now have seasons 1-3 as well. Woohoo!!
22. I get seriously pisst when the US takes a wonderful show from BBC and completely bastardizes it. I hear Life on Mars on ABC is the bomb, though. However, I refuse to watch it out of respect for the original, which is brilliant.
23. I’ve never had a flu shot, nor do I ever plan to have one. I’ve had the flu once in my life, 21 years ago.
24. I love the pod we live in, mostly because it looks like a condo village on Farscape.
25. I love Farscape.
26. I heavily believe in reincarnation and past lives.
27. I was born in Gary, Indiana.
28. January 4th, 2009 will mark my 12th year as a bellydancer.
29. I shall be overjoyed when Reality TV fizzles out as a fad.
30. My hubby’s laugh makes me laugh.
31. I’m a sci-fi writer.
32. I have a muse.
33. I’ve been on one of the court shows. They’re not real. It was an experience. To quote Patsy Stone, “If you don’t do it, you won’t have done it.”
34. My head is filled with memorable phrases.
35. Kimora Lee Simmons & Gina Gerchon are my girl crushes. I want Kimora’s Closet.
36. When I did sweepstakes for a year I won over $1,300 worth of prizes. Best one? 
Guitar Hero III with an autographed book by Slash.
37. I love elephant figurines with the trunk up. I have more than I thought I did.
38. I’m incredibly sensitive to people’s voices.
39. I can read people’s faces.
40. Reading faces and voices is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I just don’t want to see inside.
41. This video will forever bring bring tears to my eyes. I sent it to my mom, and she wrote back, “The song touched your heart because you heard the original Blind Boys in Gary when you were a baby. They would come and practice in the corner store on Jefferson Street and I would take you there with me to hear them. You just brought back a great memory of us in Gary.”
42. My favorite vice is Jagermeister. I can drink more Jager than the average 200+ lb man. It’s my blood chemistry. I can’t handle ONE shot of whiskey, though.
43. Next to X-Files, I love LOST. Any episode, any time, on TV. I even watch it online.
44. I figured out why I had a thing for Italian men. The ones I knew are proud to take care of the women in their lives (wife, daughter, mother, sister, etc). It’s an insult to them if someone says they’re not man enough to take care of their women. Not that I ever wanted to be taken care of, I love to see women take care of their men, too… My parents have that – I’m sure it’s the reason they’ve been married 30+ years. They have one another’s back.
45. Sometimes I miss my grrls (bff’s) so much, if I talk to them on the phone I think I’ll cry.
46. I’m hesitant about making new friends for fear that they’ll move away. That or they’ll turn out not to be who I thought they were.
47. I was carded at the liquor store on my 36th birthday. Anyone who looks under 26 is to be carded. I love being 36. 37 is even better!!!
48. I love seeing how facial toning exercises revitalized my face. I look like me again.
49. I love how Callanetics reshape the body. My waist is really defined. That’s huge for someone with a short torso.
50. For extra fundages, I’m a mystery shopper. It’s fun, easy work.
51. I love music from back in the day. Classic Soul, Classic Rock, Disco… 
52. I’ve been growing my hair for 2 years now. It’s almost past bra-strap length – I started above neck length, dry, brittle and broken. It’s SUPER thick, shiny and long now. And even longer now. 
53. My secret is extending the time between relaxers (I’m on a quest to relax 2x a year); frequent washing (3-4x/wk); Ayurvedic oils (amla, vatika, jasmine, pure coconut); Oil soaks before washing; Clarifying once a week; Flat-iron or press w/ heat protectant every other week to control new growth; detangling with a HUGE comb from the ends and working my way up. Sound like a lot of work? I’d rather do that than spend $$ buying hair & chems every 6 weeks.
54. I’m afraid the next time I lose my temper I may unload YEARS of rage. I express myself fully, but I don’t have an outlet for the rage built up. ♫Oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long, trying to find a way back home, the old me is dead & gone…♫ At least the part with the rage.
55. Buddha is my OM boy. 
56. My hands are shaped just like my Nana’s. She had beautiful hands. I love my hands. Sometimes I look at them and think of her.
57. I’m a multi-millionaire. I just need to find the access code to the account and I’m set. **sly grin**
58. I grew up watching PBS and brit-coms. Dr. Who, Are You Being Served, Fawlty Towers, Young Ones… into Red Dwarf, Ab Fab…
59. The only remedy for my headches is BC Powder. Everything else works as well as a Skittle.
60. I haven’t screamed in years. I think I’m due for a good scream. A good scream and purge was released January 2009.
61. I have oscillating fans in every room, and have to have it on in the room I’m in.
62. “I’m a Libra,” is my favorite excuse/reason/rationale.
63. Happy Bunny never ceases to bring a smile to my face. LOL The one below is one of my faves.
64. My favorite candy bar is Whatchamacallit. I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups more, but it’s not a candy ‘bar’, per se.
65. My favorite cereal is Reese’s Peanut Butter Puffs. I treat myself to one box a year. Ooooh, I haven’t had one in 2009!!! WTF? I’ve earned it!
66. I love bumperstickers, but I don’t wanna cover my car in them. I did with my last 2 cars. I
don’t wanna do that to Miss Sophie.
67. My car’s name is Miss Sophia Soprano. Dunno the entire reason behind it, but I’ve never known a small woman named Sophie. A “Miss Sophie” has a big ass and hips.
68. I people-watch on a grand scale.
69. I’m such a geek that my next tattoo will either be a caffeine molecule or a chocolate molecule. I’ve since gotten a lotus flower tatt, see the reasons below – plus Nana’s name was Lillie. Chocolate molecule tatt is in the works.
70. CONFESSION – I’m purposely remaining positive with this list.
71. My favorite seasons are Fall and Winter.
72. I believe we chose our lives and carved our own paths before we arrived here. I’m gonna be a busy girl. At least boredom isn’t on the menu. LOL
73. I’ve made peace with all the “wrongs” done to me. I thanked the Universe for sending them my way. I’m stronger and wiser because of them. I feel that was the lesson I was supposed to learn.
74. My favorite flower is the Lotus flower. If this flower had a wallet, it would be leatherbound and have “BAD MOTHERF*****” embossed on it. <– Pulp Fiction reference. This flower grows and survives everywhere, quagmires, deserts, forests, shade, sun, in water, etc… Also, the stalk is highly bendable, but incredibly difficult to break. It’s a baaaaad motha… shut yo’ mouth! I’m just talkin’ bout Lotus!
75. I can’t write what I wanna write here, for I may be put on someone’s list. **sneaky-shifty-glance**
76. I can sing fluently in 4 languages – English, Spanish, French, Italian. Singers know what I’m talking about.
77. I love elegantly set dinnertables.
78. My favorite incense is Nag Champa, a close second is Amber by Hem, third is Dragon’s Blood.
79. I look ravishing in burnt orange.
80. I take no shame in acknowledging pleasure with myself. **hee hee!** I just saw how that reads, and I’m not ed
iting it. Take it how you will.
81. My favorite cuss word is “F***ery,” as in “What kind of f***ery is this?” Courtesy of Janis Joplin reincarnated, Amy Winehouse. LOL
82. I like paper. Like writing paper, loose leaf, spiral notebooks, leatherbound journals, stationary sets, post-its. It’s a writer thing, I think.
83. 99% of the time I refuse to pay full price for anything. I’m a hard-core bargain hunter, but I’m not “cheap.” We don’t live cheaply, we live well. I’m a badass shopper. Couponing… dig it.
84. The funniest movie role I accepted was as the west-indian-voodoo-practicing wife of a trailer park tow truck driver. Those scenes were stricken because the director punked out. He got skurred people would be offended by the interracial + voodoo-ness of that relationship. Dude’s in the wrong business if he’s worried about something as trivial as that.
85. My first movie role was a zombie.
86. Aside from starring in my TV series, I want to host an infomercial. I want to say cheezy things such as, “Surely there’s got to be a better way!” and “I usually just throw the rind away, Bob! Don’t we all?” and “That’s absolutely AMAZING!!!” and start a studio audience clap.
87. My fastest typing speed was clocked at 97 wpm.
88. I love audiobooks! My favorite female reader is CJ Critt, who used to do the Stephanie Plum series. Her vocal diversity is phenomenal! Favorite male – none other than Stephen King. He’s deliciously creepy. That man can tell a story. I met CJ a couple months ago in Mesquite at a live reading! Way cool!
89. I still get giddy when Hubbinator tells me he’s on his way home from work. I think it’s getting worse as the years go by.
90. Before I ran into Hubbinator (again…), I carried a list of my ideal guy in my wallet for 2.5 years. I had convinced myself that this guy didn’t exist and used it as an excuse to remain single. Hubby was the guy from the list… even all the quirks.
91. My mom says I inherited her dad’s mojo. He was a Cuban hottie in his day. Too bad I never got to meet him. We both loved hats, and have an incredibly “resonant” voice when angered.
92. I was suspended from Catholic school as a child for saying I was giving up guilt for Lent. LOL
93. I grow my own natural nails. Acrylic nails suffocate my hands. Last time I had my nails that way was for my wedding. I felt like a cat with socks tied to its feet.
94. I LOVE LOVE LOVE OPI nail color. I look forward to their color collections every season. The names of the colors are divine – Quarter of a Cent-Cherry, An Affair in Red Square, Baby it’s “Coal” Outside, You’re a Pisa Work… love them!
95. Even though the Hubbinator doesn’t drink coffee, he makes it for me. It tastes better when he makes
it. There’s love in it.
96. In addition to loving my family, I genuinely like them as people. They’re folks I’d hang out with even if I weren’t related to them. They’re the family I would wish I were part of (if I weren’t already). My brother and I have about 10 adopted brothers and sisters in spirit.
97. I admire my brother as a dad, husband and soldier. He’s grown into a wonderful human being.
98. A little girl told me I looked like Sasha. Large head, huge eyes, big hair… yeah, c’est moi. LOL My mom actually bought me this doll. She’s precious.
99. I’ll know I’ve made it when there is a tasteful bobble-head of me.
100. I’ll also know I’ve made it when I sit in Oprah’s chair and she asks me, “How do you DO it all?” I’ll ask her the same, “Well, how did YOU do it all?” Then we’ll have a 15-second conversation about The Secret.
Hm. Yeah.
