My firsts

Actually stole this from princess diaree, just couldn’t resist, and since I also saw it on preppy girl's I figured might as well post the darn thing!

1.Who was your first prom date? I never went to a prom, not even my own… Boo hoo hoo… so no prom date...

2. Who was your first roommate? When I left my parents’ place it was to move in with my boyfriend S. We had a great place, but our living arrangements didn’t work out for the best… oh well, moved on to better things!

3. What was your first alcoholic drink? I can’t remember the first time I had a sip of beer – knowing my dad I must have been young! But the first drink that I ordered was a screwdriver soon followed by a B-52!

4. What was your first job? Does being raised behind a counter of a restaurant and helping out count as a first job? Humm? The first job I was ever paid for, was watering lawns on a new construction site – did that for a whole summer – every night!

5. What was your first car? A fire truck red Toyota Corolla, that when I sold it, 12 years later, had become pink. What a great car that was!

6. What was your first funeral? Besides my cat, Miquet, it was Clifford’s, the ice deliveryman at the restaurant. I was about 4-5 years old.

7. What was your first broken bone? Both my wrists (at the same time! - you try doing that!!), during a basketball game!

8. Who was your first grade teacher? Sister Irene Hachey. She was a strict but very cool nun! I have a picture of her dancing at a "Sugar Shack" school outing!

9. Where was your first airplane ride to? I flew to Montreal from Amos (northern town in Qc), but I don't really remember it. The first one I remember was the first time I went to Miami!

10. When did you sneak out of your house for the first time? I never did that, and if I did I wouldn’t be here to write about it!

11. Who was your first best friend? My friend Nathalie Cartier, all through primary school. Then I went to a different highschool and we lost touch.

12. Where was your first sleep over? Never did that either… as I kid… Started doing that with my first boyfriend, S, and I was about 19...

13. Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day? My husband.

14. Who's wedding were you in for the first time? I was involved in helping organized the wedding but had no "role" as such in any wedding…

15. What is the first thing you do in the morning? After waking up? Pee!

16. What was the first concert you went to? Can’t remember, but my last one was Jann Arden, was a great show!

17. First tattoo or piercing? My first tattoo was a wildcat’s face and my name in Japanese. Then in 1999 I went back and got a “kanku” (Karate symbol) around the first one. Thinking about getting another one…

18. First celebrity crush? Wayne Gretzky (from the Edmonton’s Oilers at the time) and Gilbert Delorme (with the Montreal Canadian at the time).

19. First non-celebrity crush? I had crushes basically on any boy who looked at me! But then, one summer came Robin, I was about 12, ooohhh how that boy tormented me!

20. First true love? I often thought it was true love, until we broke up and then realised that it wasn’t really it. Then, I would say my favourite current hubby.

Tunes That Taught Me Something...

I thought it was a cool concept when I saw this: You simply have to make a list of tunes that have taught you something in life. Anyway, here is my list...enjoy!

1. The Beatles taught me to let it be.

2. Kiss taught me that I was made for loving you, baby, you were made for loving me.

3. Pink Floyd taught me that the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

18. Shakira taught me that underneath your clothes there’s an endless story, there’s a man I chose.

19. Maroon5 taught me to steal some covers, share some skin.

20. David Usher taught me to believe your truth is not my truth, that God can exist with many faces at one time.

22. Joss Stone taught me even a wise man jumps in misery somewhere down the line.

23. Rod Stewart taught me there is nothin' that I cannot do, ‘cause I am human.

24. Jonas taught that I'm everything that you really don't want me to be...

25. The Black Eyed Peas taught me if you only have love for your own race, then you only leave space to discriminate, and to discriminate only generates hate.

"Four Things" you may not have known about me...

Now, here's what I was supposed to do: I was to send this to a bunch of people I know including the person who sent it to me (Thanks Maggs!).

The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about those who know you.

Instead I decided to post it here. Please help yourself if you want…

Do you feel like you know me a little more right now?

An indirect tag about books

Following GG’s request, and since I made it to her blogroll, I thought I would oblige…

One book that changed my life?: I’ve read a few that had some impact on me, but “Le Tigre Bleu” written by a local artist Jean-Pierre Bélanger has for ever changed the way I see our local Chinatown.

One book I have read more than once?: Besides all my “Tintin” and “Astérix & Obélix”, that I’ve read over and over, and still do, since we have all albums for both I would say that “Les Filles de Caleb” series I’ve read (and even watched the mini-series) more than once. Always been fascinated by how people my grandparents' time lived their lives, etc.

One book I would want on a deserted island?: I’d say a “How To” book?…could be handy…

One book that made me laugh?: I think that at some or another all the books I read will make me smirk, but laugh? I guess I just don’t read those types of books… EXCEPT for “Calvin & Hobbes” I love that kid and he does make me laugh out loud on a regular base!

One book that made me cry?: “Moloka’I” by Alan Brennert, moved me a great deal. I’m a little embarrassed to write that the last Harry Potter when Dumbledore dies I shed a few tears…

One book I wish had been written?: "How to deal with a crazy mother in law who just won’t accept you even after 12 years of being in the life of her precious son?"

One book I wish had never been written?: Any book on child abuse, rape, etc. I just wished those type of crimes wouldn’t exist so no books had to be written about them.

One book I am currently reading?: “A Breath of Snow and Ashes” by Diana Gabaldon. The last one of the “Outlander” series, and like the others I love it.

One book I have been meaning to read?: “Without Conscience” by Dr. Robert D. Hare, just can’t seem to muster the courage to read it… and “Bringing Out The Dead” by Joe Connelly… When I saw that Nicolas Cage was in the movie version, I kind of got turned off from reading the book… Had both of those for years and can’t seem to get to them… maybe one day. Maybe I should bring those on the deserted island, I’d have no choice but to read them then! There’s an idea!

I’m not tagging anyone, but help yourself if this tag interests you!

100 Things About Me

Here are 100 facts about me, some are quite irrelevant and others are ... different.

Want to know more about what makes Stinkypaw the gal I am? Read on!

1. My father chose my name. He really liked this little singer from Spain, who could sing really well, in the 50s. I remember watching his movies with my dad…

2. My blog name came about following hubby’s blog about this stink problem we’re having with our city.

3. I was born in Chibougamau, a mining town in Northern Quebec – it takes about 8 hours to drive there from Montreal – Chibougamau, in Cree, means “meeting place” – Always thought it was a funny name for a place so far away.

4. I grew up downtown Montreal, behind a counter: my parents owned and operated a restaurant and then a convenience store until I was 24.

5. I asked to go to a private school where we would wear a uniform, since I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans (before I turned 18 – a dad rule).

6. Never really been able to do a forward/backward roll… even as a kid. I always fell on the side. Weird.

8. I learned to ride a bike on a boy’s model, and the seat was broken so I fell on the cross bar… I was about 5 ½ - 6 years old.

9. That day my grand father told me “You’ve lost your cherry”… didn’t know what he meant at the time.

10. My grandmother on my mother’s side didn’t like me that much because she didn’t approve of my father (She always said that my dad stole my mom away from them. He married her.) They/we had this love/hate relationship until she died.

11. I am the oldest on my mother’s side; and have over 59 first-cousins on my father's side (and I know all of them!).

12. My birthday was always celebrated with friends; as far back as I can remember.

13. I love to read since I’ve been able to, basically. Could spend days at a book store or library.

14. I’ve been watching, on and off, “Days of Our Lives”, since high school.

15. Broke both wrists at the same time, during a basketball game, in high school. Had to have both arms, in casts, above the elbow for more than 6 weeks. Can you say fun?!

20. I almost drowned twice, in a pool: once in vacation in Lake George, and once on a school outing.

51. I REALLY don’t like bugs, especially spiders!

53. Love the sound of waves either by a lake, or the ocean – it’s very soothing.

54. I don’t drink booze at all – one Coronita every so often, and a “sweet” mixed drink but that’s about it. Just don’t like the taste.

55. In sixth grade, I created my own “Pink Ladies” group (after watching “Grease”) and we (4 or 5 of us girls) would meet, in our basement, for our weekly meeting.

70. When thinking I often bite my nails, or play with them.

71. Got a post card from Disney with the Disney Villains – can identified almost all of them. There are 18 of them. May not know their names, but I know in which movie they’re from.

72. I have a morbid fascination with gory things (like accident pictures, or surgery).

73. My parents thought I would grow up to do something in the medical field, because I’ve always been curious and used to collect sutures…

74. Really don’t like to be introduced as a second-degree black belt, I have a name and it’s not “karate black belt”. A LOT of people do that, and I always get uncomfortable.

75. I’m very “first impression”, and so far I haven’t been wrong often. Once my opinion is made up, good luck trying to change it.

76. Sometimes when I look at my cat or now the pooch, I just feel like picking him/her up and squeeze. Hard. Just love those two.

77. I often do that to my husband. Well… not the picking up part!

78. When I’m bothered about something or wondering, I don’t keep it bottled up, I do what I call my “perception check” – I ask is something is wrong. That often throws people off because they/we are not used to being confronted. I don’t like ambivalent situation.

79. I’m very curious about everything. If I don’t know something, I’m not afraid to ask questions.

80. I have a VERY warp sense of humour – and EVERYTHING is a double meaning, I’m really bad for that and I just love it!

81. I love to make up words, especially in English (not being my first language). I often get looks because of that, or people correct me. Did that in Greece once, without knowing the language... let's just say "embarassing"...

82. I don’t really have any taboo subjects. There’s really not any one thing that I can’t talk about. I’m very open minded about everything (from food to sex, even my folks having sex!).

83. My emotional glass is barely full, so my emotions are easily accessible, way too easy to make me angry or cry.

84. The first movie I ever saw in a theatre, with my mother, was “Kramer vs. Kramer”

85. First time I ever played Black Jack I won over $200.00 for a $5.00 entry bet.

87. For the last three years, I’ve been "adopting" a family (in need) at Christmas and provide them with a Christmas Basket. The goal is for them to have a good, nutritious Christmas dinner and breakfast. Each year I’ve showed up with 3 carloads with food, clothes, gifts, etc. - thanks to my friends! It a great feeling.

88. My mind is no longer in the gutter… It has been floating in the ocean by now…

89. I’ve been “consciously” on a spiritual path for the last 3-4 years. I’m not a religious person though.

90. I have one tattoo. On my right cheek. I got it when I turned 25. It’s my name in Japanese and the face of a wild cat.

91. Always said that if I ever went to Japan because of karate I would get another one. In November 1999, went to Japan for the World Karate Tournament, and when I came back I went to get the “kanku” (a karate symbol from our style) added on to what was already there.

92. My favourite misused word is “worser”, when the worst gets worst, it has to be worser!

93. First time I ever went to a strip club was with my parents (for both male strippers and female) – I was about 14 years old. (They'll let you in if accompanied by your parents!)

94. If I was to get married, I didn’t want a big church wedding. Always thought it was a big show that just wasn’t for me. We got married, barefoot in the sand, on a beach in Hawaii (during a karate seminar!).

95. The first and only time I smoke a joint was at parents house, with them. My dad had found a bit at the store and wanted to try it, so I rolled it up and we smoked it.

96. I have a firearm and a permit for it. I was a teen when passed the tests with my mother. She didn’t want to go alone.

97. Did I say that I don’t have any brother or sister?

98. I always thought my dad looked like Elvis in his younger years. I think I’ve also always loved Elvis because both my parents did, and his mouth was so yummy!

99. I can be am brutally honest and blunt at times.

100. I’m a big Whippet: Hard on the outside but really mushy soft and sweet on the inside.

There! Now you should have a better idea of who I am.

20 things I hate about me…

I had to think about this, not that I don’t hate things about me, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to post them… so here goes:

1. My attachment to animals (a lot more than people!), like our cat and now the pooch…

2. My emotionalism: I can cry for the smallest little thing, like a sad movie… it’s pathetic!

3. The fact that I have more brain farts lately than ever before. Could that be because I’m aging?!…

4. The fact that I’m unable to let go of the mother-in-law problem completely. I guess, I still have a little hope…

5. My 0 to 60 temperament: I have no (or very little) patience, and at times I sort of wish I did, especially dealing with Hubby.

6. The way I feel when I go shopping for clothes. I feel like a fat carrot in a green onion looking word!

7. That I don’t feel like a good daughter because I don’t visit my mother often. I just don’t want to drive 1 hour each way… It’s just far enough to make it a yucky drive.

8. That I’m not the life of the party kind of person. At times I wish I were…

9. The way I can bear grudges and like a pit bull will not let it go, at all! For years! Not good!

10. That once I’ve made an opinion about someone, it is almost impossible for me to change my mind or to review my position. (But often my first impression is right!)

11. When something isn’t going the way I want it to, it shows in my face or my behaviour, unfortunately. My expressions will betray me!

12. The fact that my body aches often and I don’t really know why (neither do the doctors I’ve seen so far!)

13. That I let one lousy person get me so pissed off and take my motivation away that I stop training in karate, despite my 20 years of labour.

14. The way I got hooked to this blogging thing! I have a feeling it could become a serious addiction!

15. The fact that I’ll jump and scream when I encounter a spider or some icky creepy crawly! I can face up any man I met, but a bug… buurk!

16. That feeling I get when I'm not sure about something. I hate that!

17. The way I, at times, take things too seriously or too personal. Let it go!

18. To see myself in pictures, since I very rarely like what I see.

19. The fact that I tend to procrastinate certain tasks because I don’t like to do them.

20. My inability (or unwillingness?!?) to control what I say at times, but mostly how I say it! Too blunt, way too blunt…

There I'm done!

10 Things About Cathy, the Pooch

1. She is small (weights about 2lbs), with lots of grey hair in her once shinny black coat.
2. Her trademark ears are still held erected, even if she doesn't hear that well anymore.
3. Her tail isn't as sickle-shaped as it used to be. It's sad to she her with her tail between her legs.
   
4. Her nails were long, way too long, so this morning I brought her to our vet to have them clipped. No more "tick, tick, tick" when she walks around.
5. Her prominent eyes are, at times, glazed over. She is losing her sight.
   
6. She is completely lost, and wanders around endlessly. It's sad to see.
7. She sleeps a lot, and snores up a storm!

10. She has met the life expectancy of the Chihuahua with her 14 years ...
    

My first list of "Why is it?"

This list was kind of inspired, in its format, by "Don't Call me Ma'am". That day things got to me, and I wanted to know why people are so stupid at times.

Here's what I was venting about...

List of men I can think of...

OK, that's a very easy thing for me to do; think about men, come on!

Back in May (the 14th) I've made this list of the first 40 men I can think of... I could have made it to 50, but I stopped at 40.

But I will most likely do other lists, because men are like ...flowers (!?) they simply pop up everywhere and you can't help to enjoy their beauty...

My actual first list!

On Thursday May 11th, I got assigned the letter D by "Guiness Girl". Thinking about this just now, it means that my first actual list was that one!

Want to know what it is about? Simple, just click here!

All about I

I am a good person despite the impression I might give.
I said too often what I thought without thinking about it before hand!
I want to live somewhere warm, year 'round!
I wish to loose weight and not think about it too much.
I hate to think that I have to see my mother-in-law, even if she’s teaching me tolerance.
I miss my dad more than I thought I would, funny how that is…
I fear crippy crawlies, all kind of bugs, especially spiders.
I hear birds chirping and I love that.
I wonder if there’s an after life worth going to...
I regret not having said “I love you” more often to my dad before he died, even if I know that he knew…
I am not a patient person.
I dance more when I’m alone than with people around me!
I sign all the time while driving, especially when there’s no traffic!
I cry every time I watch something sad on TV, at the movies, etc. – it’s pretty pathetic, especially these days!
I am not always the easiest person to be around – I shall work on that!
I made friends with people I didn’t think I would.
I write whenever I have something to say but can’t say outright.That way I think more about what I want to say and often I don’t tell the people, but I got it out of my system.
I confuse myself very easily with directions!
I need to let go of certain things from my past in order to move on and be in peace with myself.
I should be more careful of my health and of how I talk to people.
I start to see that I am getting older, and a part of me doesn’t like it too much, but another part of me doesn’t see it as a negative thing at all.
I finish everything that I start – there’s nothing more that I hate then “quitters”! Sometimes it takes a while but I do see it ‘til the end.

There! That was all about "me"
