The only bands I'm prepared to travel for are BSB, Muse and Take That (although Take That actually do come to Cardiff now)

Julilly, thanks for your input. That made me lean into going for the surgery more. We just had a visit with his ENT surgeon. He said he wanted Heath's weight to be 12 KG before we proceed with the surgery, his weight is 11.9 KG. So we have to wait for him to gain weigth. Also, we were using a nasal spray to see if it will help Heath to breathe better. The snoring lessen a bit but he still breathes through the mouth, plus his tounge is now sticking out.

I was too busy to take the time to think of anything for this thread when it was posted, but I have more time now (a.k.a. I'm actually bored), so I'll resurrect it and give this a shot.

10 things you may or may not know about me...

1. I'm left-handed, as is my mom and sister.  My dad is ambidextrous; my mom's theory is that he was actually born a lefty, too, but was forced into being a righty as a small child.  Who knows.

2. I come from a long line of teachers on my mom's side and am the fifth generation to become an elementary school teacher.  My mom is a teacher, as was her mother (my grandma), as was HER mother (great-grandma), and even HER mother (great-great-grandma), back in the days when women taught for just a few years until they got married and started having babies, then had to quit teaching.

3. I hate tomatoes, but like ketchup, salsa, tomato soup, and tomato sauce, as long as it doesn't have big chunks of tomato in it.

4. I used to hate mayonnaise to the point that I would gag just looking at it, but over the years, I have learned to tolerate it.  I never buy it unless I need it for a recipe and never put it willingly on my food (unless it's mixed with something and no longer looks/tastes like mayo), but if it comes on a sandwich at a restaurant, I will eat it and not gag.

5. I have never seen The Breakfast Club or Ferris Bueller's Day Off all the way through.

6. I have had recurring nightmares about dinosaurs ever since I saw Jurassic Park in 1993.  I don't have them very often these days, but every once in awhile, I still find myself being chased by a T-Rex or velociraptor in my dreams. Despite this, I still love Jurassic Park and dinosaurs!

7. I tend to be picky about the things I watch/read/listen to/eat/like, but when I find something I like, I will watch/read/listen to/eat it over and over again.  I re-read books, re-watch movies and TV series, and listen to the same songs/albums incessantly.  I'm a creature of habit and usually prefer things that are familiar to things that are brand new.

8. I love what South Park calls "informative murder porn" - a.k.a. true crime documentaries, as seen on Investigation Discovery.  I don't watch many cop/detective dramas because I find most of them formulaic and cliche, but I love documentaries about murders, serial killers, kidnappings, disappearances, and other mysteries.  I watch a lot of the ID channel.

9. I also love history and watching historical documentaries.  Since the History Channel doesn't show much that actually relates to history anymore, I get my fix on Netflix.  I minored in history in college.  Oddly, I have never enjoyed reading historical fiction, though I do enjoy (some) period piece movies.

10. I love music and consider myself somewhat musical.  I took piano lessons for seven years as a child, but the only piece I can still play entirely by heart is "My Heart Will Go On."  Anything else requires sheet music and lots of practice to play.  I also played the clarinet in school and sang in choir in junior high, high school, and college.  I love to sing, but don't like to sing in front of other people.  These days I do most of my singing in my car.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned my recurring T-rex dreams before or not. The only difference is in my dreams, the T-Rex was mentally challenged and would be growling at me but them run into a wall and start to cry. I was always in a castle for some reason and after about the fifth time he'd do that, I'd turn around, stop running and say "There's something wrong with that dinosaur" when a random ghost (also mentally challenged) would come out of nowhere and say "I'm a ghost! Boo!!" lmao

That's like my mum. She does everything except write with her left hand because when she was a child in school they would tie her left hand behind her chair and force her to use the right.

Trying to immerse myself in the AC culture (shout out to Mare). Some things you won't know about me:

1. My new passion is travelling - I've got a serious case of the travel bug.
2. I'm Maltese/Australian (and if you don't know what Malta is, that's okay because we're not on most maps haha)
3. I think the best Christmases are the ones that are stinking hot and you need to go to the beach or stay in the pool all day.
4. I HATE water with a passion, I don't drink alcohol and I live off coke (probably explains a lot lol)
5. I have Twitter only to stalk celebrities (like BSB) and people who inspire me lol and I have a total of one follower.
6. I am constantly on fb - social media has ruined my life lol

That's it.

I would very much like that kind of Christmas!

Do you hate to drink water of just water in general? Whenever I drink water it makes me sick to my stomach.

You should post your twitter in the thread on this board so this way more people can stalk you! LOL

I love hot weather but I'll admit that I really want to experience an American/European Christmas. It's the whole traditional Christmas thing with snow, eggnog (have no idea what that is btw lol), snow, fires, marshmallows, snow, sled rides, snow...It seems very magical!

It does make me feel sick too! I had to go for an ultrasound and they told me I had to drink 1L of water and by the time I had 200mL I was struggling. It was awful! Tried spring water, tap water, flavoured water - nothing! My stomach is probably rotted by now lol.

There's not much to stalk. I don't tweet much but here's the link anyways https://twitter.com/attjess

The beach and hot weather sounds pretty good right about now, considering there's snow on the ground where I live, and it's supposed to get down to -12 F on Monday!

Where is your favorite place you've traveled, Jess?
