saturday-8 :: trust and love and devotion
1. last night, i saw my first-ever crush, sting, in concert. he was amazing, as usual. who was your VERY first crush?
My poster for my first real celebrity crush is still up on my bedroom wall at the family home, even though I no longer live there: Olivia Newton-John.
My first REAL crush though was I believe a redhead I knew in grade school. I know: that's very Charlie Brown of me...
2. speaking of first crushes, who was your first kiss? were they the same person? tell us about that.
It's been so many years, I don't even remember her name. This isn't meant as bragging on my part, but it happened when I was 7 years old and living in Laval. A young girl there took me behind a couch to smooch.
Obviously, she and my first crush weren't one and the same.
3. i have a hard time trusting people. i've also told my husband, "i'll never let you in far enough to hurt me." in love, are you a trustful person? why or why not?
In love, I'm a very trusting person. I've shared a lot of myself to my significant others in the past. I've been burned by the few I was that close with so far, but my honesty hasn't changed.
4. what about in friendships OR work relationships? why or why not?
I worked with one of my last girlfriends. It made for a very unpleasant work environment after she broke off with me. I wouldn't ever do that again!
Friendships... in the past few cases I'd say no. Not that I've ever seen them again, mind you... so it's become a moot point.
5. devotion ... i have a devotion to not only sting, but the british sex god, sean bean (starring in the new movie 'national treasure' with nic cage ... get ye to a theatre!). i collect ALL of their movies and soundtracks. which celebrity/ies are you devoted to? and why?
There are 3 ladies I've jokingly referred to as my Holy Trinity of Righteous Babes. They are three actresses I have a deep attraction to for different reasons:
I. Michelle Pfeiffer: She's just an ethereal beauty to me.
II. Meg Ryan: I grew up with her on my TV. I not only find her attractive but also feel an attatchment to her.
III. Jennifer Connally. I've always had a thing for women with black hair and blue eyes. I find her one of the most striking.
6. i'm having to make the decision to get back with my husband, who has left my family twice and been thrown out once for 'bad behaviour.' this is by FAR the hardest time i've had deciding whether to trust someone or not. what was yours? tell us about it.
That's a very personal and painful old wound, one I won't re-open.
7. i am extremely devoted to my cat, minou, who is a 5-yr. old blue point siamese. is there an animal that you are devoted to in your life, past or present? tell us about them.
There have been several over my life... currently are my two cats: Boots, a 15-year old part Persian, who's incredibly temperamental - and Squeaky, my nearly 12-year old callico, who's been with me since she was 6 months old.
Before them was my first cat Minou, also part Persian. He was an outdoor cat who disappeared on us when I was a kid. Also my 16-year old dog Winnie, who was put to sleep about 15 years ago. I still think of her often; I grew up with her.
8. next weekend is hallowe'en ... do you have any decorations up?
I haven't done the Hallowe'en thing in many years.
