Introductions

So I'm a few posts in and realized that none of you know who this freak is who is talking about other freaks you don't know. So here are a few random facts about us (in no particular order):

Me! (Siobhan)

 - Born and raised in the U.K. Emigrated to Florida when I was 14. I still have issues with the 'language barrier' occasionally (American English and English English are more different than I think most realize), and I still see bugs I've never seen before on a daily basis. I still have my accent.

- I puff up like crazy when I get bitten by Mosquitos (living in Florida has given me superhuman senses when it comes to flying insects and I can detect one in a room when nobody else can). I know I must seem crazed.

- Flies creep me out. Those big, ugly ones. If I see one on any surface, it literally makes my skin crawl and I have to get it out of the house and clean.

- I got married in November to my awesome husband, Gary. I am totally smitten by this man. We are mostly broke but looking forward to life's challenges and what lies ahead for us.

- I am a Bon Jovi fan (the 80s stuff and a little bit of the 90s stuff. Their new stuff sucks).

- I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. Potatoes are perhaps my favorite food of all time.

- I'm not sure yet how I feel about eggs. If they're not cooked exactly how I like them, I won't eat them.

- My curly hair has a mind of its own! I've transitioned from straight to curly and I'm still learning the ins and outs of how to handle my hair.

- I've been drawing since I could hold a pen, and studied art in college (could be a reason I'm so broke now...)

- I currently work a job I'm not a fan of, but it pays the bills 'til I can paint my masterpiece.

- Blank paper makes me happy.

Gary! (My Husband)

- He works with his hands (and who doesn't love a man who uses power tools on the regular?)

- He is the spitting image of his dad.

- If it were up to him, salt would be a food group.

- He has a childlike enjoyment for candy.

- He will make anything into a song.

- He has the most adorable southern accent.

How sickening!

 We got married on November 11th, 2011.

Polly! (Our mean-ass cat)

Is she sleeping, or secretly plotting against you?

- She likes Gary and I, most of the time. She likes no-one else. She's a ride-or-die kinda cat.

- When she hears our alarms go off in the mornings, she sits outside our bedroom door and screams at us until we open the door and throw a sock at her or feed her already.

- She won't play with any of the toys we buy her; she's more partial to zip ties and gum wrappers.

- While I get ready for my day she jumps up on the bathroom counter, lays in the sink, and watches me.

- When we let her into the back yard she grazes on grass like a cow and rolls around in ecstasy.

- She's just... Weird.

Other characters in the play will be introduced as they pop up.

Welcome to our corner of the world! Who are you?
