archerstar and strangealchemy:
You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
1. Name: Wendy. I still like the Lumy nickname, even though I’ve all but lost contact with the person who used to call me that irl.
2. Age: 34. Born on St. Patrick’s Day :)
3. Location:Tatooine Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
4. Occupation: Payroll. I am a peon and I like it that way. I like the structure & routine of my job, even with the crazy-early hours required. I also sell Avon but I’m very lazy about it, don’t care to run all around town anymore selling it, just stick to coworkers, Mom’s coworkers, and a few close (proximity-wise) friends.
5. Partner: Non-existent. For a reason, like the tag says. Yeah, me and relationships don’t mix. Just askaaronisthebest! Oh wait – you can’t, because he never logs into LJ, he’s a MySpace whore now. *pout*
6. Kids: My cats are my kids. I used to really really want kids, once upon a time. Now I’m content to just dress up as preggers!Padme sometimes on Halloween. Ha!
7. Brothers/Sisters: One brother, Brian, lives next door. We’re closer than most siblings (as in, emotional-wise, but yes, proximity-wise too!)
8. Pets: 4 catsplus 2 that don’t count. They have their own LJ (lumycats). Pants, Snickers, Anakin, and Gryffin.
9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life.
-Helping my dad with Grandma. My relationship with my dad hasn’t always been good, but it is now, and it feels good to help him after all the help he’s given me with my house.
-Figuring stuff out. Again. >.> No, you don’t need to know what I mean by that. Just know that I'm strange.
-Upcoming no-big-deal, very minor surgery – gum grafting. I’m sweating the cost a bit (waiting to hear from the insurance on how much they will cover) but I’m sweating being an imposition on someone even more. I HATE THAT. I have a somewhat high tolerance for pain, at least that kind of pain, and I’m fiercely independent…but they won’t let me drive myself, even if I wait in the lobby for the happy drugs to wear off. Nor will they allow me to take a cab, which was my second thought. Sheesh! And someone’s supposed to stay with me the rest of the day, to make sure I don’t die, I guess. lol
10. Parents: On good terms with both, though not extremely close to either. They just got divorced last year, but they’re still friends. Both live across town, 30-40 minutes away, and I see one of them at least every other Wednesday (Avon delivery days).
11. Who are some of your closest friends? I likestrangealchemy’s answer to this one – me, myself, and I. I guess I’m too old for BFFs. And I spend far more time talking to online friends than "real life" friends. I’m starting to dislike that term – real life. Some of you know more about me (at least, the current me) than RL friends; how are you not my real friends? But really, the only person I think I can hang out with all the time and never get tired of is my brother.
I'll try to get online tonight, but it would have to be a hacked connection so might not be able to. Definitely won't be around tomorrow and Sunday, but will catch up with all y'all next week!

Now I'm running off to the mountains to have a lovely quiet weekend, wheeee!
