Re: GTKY: for fun
2.) Being lied to really angers me!
3.) I'd like to not be so short tempered. I tend to fly off the handle too much.
4.) I actually love all music, except heavy rap music. I like the beat usually. ... But the derogatory words, and they rap too fast you can't understand them. Oh! And that hard Rock where they scream into the microphone.
5.) I hate doing white laundry! Particularly socks. I can't stand pairing socks up!
6.) Yes! My nickname is boo boo, and duper. My older brother nicknamed me booboo. Idk why. My dad nicknamed me duper. Again. Idk why. I should ask.
7.) If money was no issue, I'd donate it. I'd pay off bills. I'd put money into kids savings. And shop, and travel!
8.) I hate when my husband (or anyone) chews too loud, or drinks too loud.
9.) I have 2 big fluffy pillows. I must have 2 at all times. I travel with my pillow too.
10.) When shopping, I can't buy the first item on the shelf. I have to grab the items behind the first or second item. I feel like it may have been touched too much. It also can't be damaged, and if all the items are damaged, I grab the one with least amount of damage.

Literally the bathrooms look like they've never been cleaned, spider webs all over the ceilings, and fleas jumping all over you from his dog.

Port Douglas, Australia. I went there about two years ago and it is the most beautiful place I've ever been. It's a mountainous tropical rainforest town with stretches of beach.
