A,B,C's of me

Here are some abc's of being me, Rowdy traits. Soon I will probably tackle an abc list of Rowdy things.

A.active-I like doing things, and I like doing them outside, I might as well be solar powered. Odd for a red head.....

B.bathing-The shower is probably my 2nd or 3rd best friend.

C.cronic-Yes, I have Crohns disease, a chronic illness. But I try not to think about it or do anything differently in life until it forces me to, normally by an extended hospital stay. (see the last half of February 2008's posts)

D.detailed-The little things mean a lot to me. I have a natural eye for small and subtle things.

E.eyes-I always like to look at peoples eyes. You can tell sooo much about a person by their eyes.

F.fun-Minister of Fun, if there were such an elected position I would OWN it.

G.generous-If I have it, I will share it.

H.heroic-Everywhere I go I look for the AED because I want to be the person using it to save someones life. I am always thinking about what I would do in a 'situation' so that I could help.

I.inquisitive-Thinking about how things are, questioning and wondering. I would make a poor therapist as I could care less "why" something happens as how things happen and what to do about it.

J.junk food junkie-I love things like licorice, hot tamales, taffy, sour worms, caramel corn, cookies, angle food cake, soda, otter pops and such. Chocolate I can't stand. You get the idea...

K.kind-I have a hidden soft spot for certain people and situations. I actually do care.

L.literate-When I move normally the greatest number of boxes are taken up by books. Some of the coolest gifts I have been given have been books. I can't imagine myself without a desire to read.

M.mischevious or materialistic, I can't decide. materialistic-I will never buy anything generic. Also, at times having nothing and at times having almost everything I much prefer having everything. mischevious-duh!

N.new-I like new people, places and things. New to me is almost always better. I guess that also explains why I like change soo much...

O.optimistic-I truly have a constant hope things will be alright, or at a minimum manageable.

P.patriotic-The 4th of July is my favorite holiday, I went to Iraq of my own free will, I cry whenever I hear the national anthem, I would kill Osama bin Laden in a second, I have two copies of the US constitution and I vote.

Q.quick-I barely chew my food, don't drive the speed limit, like to be first at whatever. I like to answer first, turn things in first, be first in line, not waddle around. I like to be quick through using my intelligence, skill and efficiency.

R.risky-To me risk and reward are very often directly correlated.

S.show off-If I am going to do something cool, people better be watching!

T.tough-I have no trouble putting out some physical effort for something I feel strongly about. Physical pain doesn't even get to me too much, unless it is a needle or my guts. Then I am tender.

U.understanding-I think I can put myself in other people's shoes quite well.

V.virile-I have my moments. I also had a pretty good collection of marbles at one time.

W.western-No, not like a cowboy. I am west coast through and through. I am a product of the West.

X.x rays- x rays pay the bills for me right now. Not using them, but testing them.

Y.young-I will hopefully never look my age, or probably even act like it. I despise the theft of youth by just the mere passage of time.

Z.zoological-I like to observe animals. I in no way indulge in anthropomorphic ideas, but animal behavior interests me. And some animals make nice shoes, jackets, cheese and can be quite tasty. I also win the animal name game in the car a good 80% of the time.
