glacier_kitty1. Have you ever gone skinny-dipping? In the pool I had in Texas, when I was a kid. Dad even took a video LOL
2. When you're home alone, do you strip down to get comfortable? Do you ever go out without underwear (bra and/or panties) because it's more comfortable? I get into my PJs in the evening when I'm at home alone, but I definitely don't go without the other two in public, my boobs are way too big for that haha!
3. Have you ever/Do you use the bathroom with the door open? Are you comfortable using public facilities? Ooof, this Friday five is making me super uncomfortable LOL (I'm a little famous at work for not liking bathroom talk LOL). Only when I'm home in my apartment. I really don't like public bathrooms, but sometimes there just isn't another choice, so I cringe and get done as soon as possible haha
4. When getting intimate with your significant other, lights on or off? I'm single
5. How comfortable are you with body exposure/nudity of others? Group shower rooms?, topless/nude beaches?, breastfeeding in public? Being asexual, I'd rather not see excessive nudity..I feel like it should be private, shared with a significant other (Vicki is not asexual, but she told me she feels the same way). I don't know how actors/actresses can film nude scenes in movies, I'd be horrified! I don't mind breastfeeding though, of course your baby has to eat!
This week at the bookstore everyone's been busy, selling books (everything was 50% off this week), packing up books, etc. We've been open til 8, and all of us have said that during our turn working late that it was pretty much dead after 5:30, our normal closing time..seemed kinda pointless to be open that late then! We definitely sold a lot, but there are still SO many books left! Today was supposed to be the store's last sale day in its current spot, but Shelby texted everyone this morning, saying not to come in because something came up. I was imagining awful things, like a break in or murder! Later Lucie texted me and my other coworker (Bill), saying she wanted us to go to the new building and sort books. Mom was in town, so I was able to get a ride from her. When both of us arrived, Lucie said someone moved a shelf and found a silverfish infestation, so she had to call an exterminator before the movers would move anything. Phew, I'm glad it wasn't anything worse! Bill and I set up tables and sorted books (fiction, nonfiction, kids) for about 3-4 hours (those books had been in our storage unit for years because we didn't have enough space at the store). There were some cool books I'd never seen before! After 3 1/2 hours the tables were getting super overloaded and I was getting tired, and luckily Lucie stopped by again to check on us, who said we could go home and she'd still pay us for another hour..cool! I'm definitely tired of this move and being exhausted when I go home, I'm so glad I'm going to Santa Fe next week! Just two more workdays left lol (Lucie said a lot of customers kept showing up, wanting to get last-minute deals, and were sad to be turned away..awww :(). Lucie took this picture of me and Bill:
Lots of books!! We need more tables until the shelves are set up lol
Curti can now jump up on the counter..I'd rather not have paws up there that have been in the litterbox lol, but he doesn't want to take "no" for an answer. :P Dad had been out of town since I got Curti until last weekend, and of course dad loves him and likes to take him outside with him. He's a spoiled kitty hehe
3. Your longest road trip: 3 weeks in Europe, in 2006, with a student ambassador program..we went to Spain, France, Monaco, Italy and the Vatican. It was pretty cool!
4. What power would you like to have? Flight or the ability to talk to animals
5. The first apartment you ever rented: I remember staying at an apartment in Texas when I was a kid, but the first I personally have rented is at the place I'm at now. I think I moved there in 2010..it's nice having my own place, and being able to go to my parents' house on the weekend
6. What's your nighttime ritual? Eat dinner, shower, go online for awhile, read in bed, feed and play with Curti somewhere in there, go to bed
7. The most terrifying moment of your life: Choking when I was home alone. I ran into the hallway and knocked on my neighbor's door, and somehow the blockage loosened and I told her I was ok when I saw her. Your life kind of does flash before your eyes when you almost die! Ever since then I've had to eat slow, or I'll start choking again..scary!
8. Where do you see yourself in one year? Hopefully well-established in the bookstore's new location! Curti will probably be fully grown then too..I hope he doesn't lose his cuteness!
9. The most meaningful book you've ever read: The Worst Journey in the World, Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition, Where the Red Fern Grows, etc
1. If you could have dinner with anyone who has passed away, who would you choose? Cherry! I've always felt that we'd get along well lol
