That should be "Not a cutesy person ANYMORE..."

7 Random Facts About Me
I'm lifting a time killer from CJ's blog because a well-known fact is I have housework to do AND kitty litter to change (Wilson's OOT) and I'd rather be doing anything but what I must do.
1- Love dolphins. Originally went to college to be a behavior psych major, wanted to be on The Calypso right next to Mr. Cousteau (I never would have been so presumptuous as to call him Jacques). Helloooo! Red head, that much time on a boat on the open ocean under the sun would have been instant death. Went into broadcasting instead.
2- Have overcome my fear of spiders. In fact, 2 weeks ago I spent the better part of the day working next to Fred. Fred was a spider who took up residence on my open laptop. We got along just fine most of the day, I even showed him a couple of things I was working on and he didn't laugh, I took that as a good sign. Until the afternoon, when he was sitting on the grid ruler I needed. I picked up the ruler and put him on the top of the laptop and he was pissed!! He came running down the monitor and across the keyboard right for me. I moved him to the top and he did it again. I scooped him up on a piece of paper and stuck him in my open studio window. I haven't seen him since, but I did wake up with a bite on my leg 2 days later.
3- Love monkeys. Monkeys are the lynch-pin to all comedy. Put a monkey in anything (except the primate center or a research lab) and it's instant comedy. My favorite phrases contain the word monkey... someone is acting incredibly brazen they're a "cheeky monkey" (with all due respect to, and much adoration for, Craig Ferguson, I was using that before he got the late night gig). If something is all over, like white on rice, it's much funnier if it's "on it like stink on a monkey." If something is beyond adorable, it's "cuter than a monkey with a puppy." If some one's acting like a buffoon (that's buffoon, not baboon, although they could be a buffoonish baboon) they're "like a drunk monkey." And with much respect and adoration for David Letterman, from whom I've openly co-opted this, if someone is going through and exceptionally horrible time, "I wouldn't give their problems to a monkey on a rock." Monkeys are funny.
4 - NOT a cutesy person. That may not be random, but if you're not a cutesy person, people should be reminded from time to time. Don't do teddy bears, bows, pink, kitten-y things... don't do teddy bears or kittens in pink bows.
5 - Re-visiting #3, in a way, I love smart, witty comedians, such as Craig Ferguson and David Letterman. While I'm long gone from the dorm demo, I think everyone should add The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report to their list of news sources. Eddie Izzard is a man in a dress after my own heart.
6 - I'm cool with a man in a dress (see, I thought I was running out of things but a fondness for trannies, especially brilliantly funny trannies, is a good #6.)
7 - The guilt of not doing housework and the kitty litter has finally gotten to me. Sometimes I'm not all about the time killer :-)
