Baaa Baaaa Baaaa... YOINK!

[anigo]

A - Accent: Maritime Canadian. Lots of long ahhhrrr's. Bahrrrrrr, Cahrrrrrrr.
B - Breast size: Is negative a size? A- (Keeping with the university average, of course)
C - Chore you hate: I don't really *hate* any chore, I just like doing them in my own time.
D - Dad's name: John or JB to those of us on this side of the ocean. Barry to those on the other side.
E - Essential make-up: I dunno, it's either the works or nada. Does moisturisor count as makeup?
F - Favourite perfume/cologne: Depends on the mood. Sandalwood from the Body Shop is my current favourite. I own a bottle of Tommy Hilfiger's Freedom and wear it every once in a while, and I also own a bottle of Clinique's Happy, which used to be the fragrance I wore most often before I got hooked on Sandalwood. Nova Scotia's going big on the "Scent Free" stuff though, so it's getting harder and harder to find places you're allowed to wear scents.
H - Hometown: Saint John, New Brunswick
I - Insomnia: Nuhhuh. I usually sleep like a fecking log.
J - Job title: EAP Account Manager, National Small Business Team (and also Account Management Assistant, but we're working on changing that)
K - Kids: One. The Kid - unless you count Dick, then two.
L - Living arrangements: Usually me, Dick, the Kid and Lucy the Loveable in a suburban bungalow in suburbia, but currently also residing with The Sister and two additional yappers.
M - Mom's birthplace: Prince Edward Island.
O - Overnight hospital stays: Just for the Kid. 4 or 5 days, I think. Way too long.
P - Phobia: Earwigs and ashtrays (erg, even typing the word gives me shivers)
Q - Favorite Quote: Over and above the When Harry met Sally one, I went to try to remember my favourite quote from Dianna Gabaldon's Outlander. They all give me goosebumps, but my all time over and above favourite is "When the day shall come, that we do part," he said softly, and turned to look at me, "if my last words are not 'I love you'--ye'll ken it was because I didna have time.". That line makes me BAWL every time I read it. Note to self - time to re-read Outlander.
R - Religious affiliation: None/Nada/Zip/Squat
S - Siblings: Sister, niffer8 and brother, fatty666
T - Time you wake up: 6:00
U - Unnatural hair colours you've worn: All of them, I haven't worn a natural haircolour since I was about 14.
V - Vegetable you refuse to eat: I don't think I'd refuse to eat anything, but I'm not overly fond of eggplant.
W - Worst habit: Probably sitting here. Biting my nails maybe?
X - X-rays you've had: Lessee... Chest, arm and neck I think.
Y - Yummy foods you make: Pretty much all of them. No baking though, I can't make a cookie or a cake (and don't even talk to me about pies) to save my soul.
Z - Zodiac sign: Sagitarius

(Si's was MUCH funnier!)

oi, meme thief!! that was mine, I knicked it fair and square..

"Nova Scotia's going big on the "Scent Free" stuff though, so it's getting harder and harder to find places you're allowed to wear scents."

Did I read that right? You've actually got public places where you're not allowed to smell? (my dog's got no nose..). How surreal. What if you've got really horrendous BO. You not allowed to mask it?

The Americans go on and on about how odd you Canadians are, but I don't think I ever really believed them. But you know, you do seem a little "kooky" to me.

Depends on where you are. Hospitals and public buildings are all very strictly scent free - to the point they ask you to pick scent free products like deodorant or shampoo (very few people go this far). Offices and buses and pretty much everywhere except the bars or the street are scent free, but most people are quite happy with you as long as you don't bathe in fragrance. (Mind you there are tonnes of people who'll go off on your ass if you so much as even pretend to smell like a flower)

Yup, we're an odd bunch, but I always figured it was because we're still not very far removed from the mother country.
