10:28 pm - The Ask Me Meme Borrowed from earlgreytea68
Online journals are little filters that we each see every one else's lives through, the parts others choose to share with us. That said, we all think we are close, but really we seldom know *a lot* about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you... Current Location: home Current Mood: blah Current Music: Ghost Hunters

06:07 pm - Interesting meme I got this from Earlgreytea68. These are 5 things that she associates with me. I get to elaborate on them Comment on the meme and I'll send you five things about you and it's your turn to elaborate.
(1) Horses.
I'm told that "horse" was one of my first words. I've been horse crazy as far back as I remember. My granddad built me a little red barn to keep all of my toy horses in. I really wish that I still had that. I started riding in my last semester of law school. It was my present to myself. It's been way to long since I've been to the barn...
(2) Your icon with Ten on the horse.
When I was working in my friend Suzanne's law office, I had the Doctor, Rose and the horse on my desk. I got the horse, which is porcelain, from a shop I used to work in. He was in the display case and still somehow managed to get his ears chipped, which made him unsaleable. So for $5, he went home with me.
The Doctor and Rose are my anniversary present from Scarfman. One day, in one of those strange moments that hits us all, it just became obvious that the Doctor had to be on the horse. Then, the camera phone just had to come into play....Scarfman turned it into a icon for me.
(3) The Kate Kavalry (a name I made up right now)
What a cool name! You know when people start talking about mounting up and riding to the rescue, well, some things just must be done...
(4) Deadliest Catch
OK, I miss the crab guys. Kalleah wrote about them in her LJ and I was intrigued, so I watched them. I'm not sure what it is that draws me to this show. But some things...just for fun. It has also lead me down a dangerous road, It was while watching them that I stumbled onto the Most Dangerous Race, about the Iditerod. Was hooked on that one for the 6 or so episodes that it ran. Can't wait for the guys to come back, though.
(5) Doctor Who!
Saw Doctor Who for the first time in the '70's with Tom Baker. At that time the PBS station in Chicago, where I lived, was running them in the original 1/2 hour format in the late afternoon. It was rushing home from school to watch Dark Shadows. I had to be home by 5:30 to watch. Then I met my husband who is the biggest Doctor who Geek that I know and the rest is history...
