What These Say About Me

Claire, over at Two Kids, a Gear-head and Me, did a tag that included the following rules:

The LOOK AT THIS STUFF! ISN'T IT NEAT? Tag

1. Find five things around your house (relatively) that say something about the person you are and snap a picture of them.

1. Tell us about them.

The pic that I posted first off says a bit about me, and isn't counting towards my 5 things. I just saw it on my computer and realized that it says quite a bit about me, and that it would fit here.
I'm a smart ass, I'm full of fun, and I hate to take things seriously. Oh, and I always sport the smug look, I'm not in Freud mode or I would try to break it down for all of you so you could better understand me. Let's just say that I'm not a snob, but I'm not the type of person that you are going to WANT to say hi to in the grocery store while in line if you don't know me. You're likely to be frightened off by the "touch me and die" look that I sport while in public.

Anyway, enough about my personality (which I'm actually tons of fun thank you very much) and on with the show!I'm. A. Geek. Nerd, brainiac, brown-noser, teacher's pet, anything of the sort.. that is who I am. I love to read. Love it so much, that I can NOT go to the bathroom without a book. Over the years, I have accumulated well over 200 books. What you see here, plus maybe 15 more, is all that I now have. Between moving, running, and leaving... all of my books have been scattered to the winds. The ones that I now have are the ones that I have managed to acquire again after the past 5 years. Not much, I know. I have a bigger habit of READING MY BOOKS 4 or 5 TIMES each. If I were a die hard about having a different (and new to me) book to read at different times, I would owe a truckload of debt. Books can be costly things, especially when they are Stephen King, John Grisham, or Nora Roberts. Also, I'm really not a book snob. If it is handed to me, I will read it. And it's rare that I don't finish a book because I didn't like it. Ok, the books are boring me... next!Truffle Whore. That's what this pic says about me. I don't mind chocolate, but I LOVE chocolate that has the word "truffle" on the label. As a matter of fact, my all time favorite candy.. I can't find this year... and this is the time of year that it is released! Ugh.. if anyone finds these bad boys anywhere, let me know. I will gladly wire you money via paypal so you can buy them and send them to me. I've searched everywhere.. so take a GOOD gander at these babies just in case you spot them...
WOW that's a big pic. I couldn't find the packaging, but they specifically say Dove Truffle on the package, and they are shaped like this. And, they only come 3 halves (if I remember right) per box. *sigh* I would die for these things, truly. Someone please find them and send me like 3 dozen!!! Anyway, back to the truffle whore thing. I didn't even pull out my whole truffle stash, as I just realized. I have some stashed in my dresser drawer for when I get in a fit during my sleeping hours. It must be Ambien induced.
Blurry pic, but you get a 3 for one right here. My computer, a Mountain Dew, and the cookbook I keep on my computer desk. Weird, huh? That's me though. I can NOT live without my computer. Can't. Or the Mountain Dew, for now. I plan to wean myself off it, at some point before summer hits. I've noticed that I make it through the heat with more ambition when I'm not slugging down Mountain Dew, and choose water instead. And the cookbook? That's my thing, baby. I cook. I like to try new food. I'm all over it.I'm a scent snob. Big time. I love to have candles burning in the house, but I will ONLY burn them if I am in the process of cleaning, then they will remain burning until they either go out on their own, I leave the house, or I go to bed. I love the Glade scent oil candles that you see in the purplish package. They melt down into an oil, and burn for hours. Plus, they give off the yummiest, and most vibrant scents that I have ever seen. Stacked in the basket with the Glade, are my breakaway tarts for my tart burner. In leather, sex on the beach, clean cotton, and vanilla musk. In the itty bitty basket, are little tart shots scented in Christmas Tree (pine) which gave the feel of a real Christmas this year since I won't allow a real tree. I'm the Grinch on that, and totally proud of it.Last, but not least, I'm a lover of all things dragon. I've lost a lot of my dragons over the years (much like my books) but I do have a small collection going again. This one just happened to be the one I chose for the pic. The others didn't catch the light right, and they looked blurrier than heck. What do dragons say about me? I think they show the side of my that loves to fantasize, about being a millionaire, writing a novel, winning the Nobel Prize.. ok, ok.. it says I'm a dreamer. And I can deal with that.
Sooo... I'm not tagging anyone. I know, don't you just hate that? But.. I'm not tagging anyone because if they need blog material, here it is. Run with it. Other than that, just enjoy what I posted, and consider yourself tagged if you have something of your own to say!
