  11. I only had one boyfriend before E. He was an ass, and I think he cheated on me.

  13. My brother can’t imagine that I would ever have kids and not give them the pleasure of animals.
  14. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters.
  15. people mistook me for their mom when we’d be out in public as young kids.
  16. all five of us have a natural inclination towards cooking, as well as a strong work ethic. we were all homeschooled.
  17. all of us kids like using our middle names, and sign things with all three names.
  18. I took my maiden name, Locatis, as my second middle name.

  20. I want 2 or 3 little girls. and buy them pretty dolls. E says boys, and legos!
  21. I’m terrified of childbirth.

  23. I also had a cast on my leg for 6 weeks to try and make my ankle better.
  24. it didn’t work, but I got the cute boy from church to sign it for me, so I kept the cast forever!
  25. there is a little red book in my desk that I wrote all of my crushes from 13-teen years in.

Online friends are great. But I do agree that it would be nice to have some of them to hang out with on the weekends...

I’m an ENTP, almost the exact opposite!

Posted by: Ashley | January 29, 2002 11:52 AM

oh wow, Ashley, we are almost opposite! I match the description of an iSTJ so well that it’s funny! smile

Great list! And I can’t believe employers that won’t let you wear any jewelry exist!

Posted by: Robyn | January 29, 2002 10:14 PM

What a great list, Kristine! I like your made-up words a lot. smile

Posted by: Laura | January 30, 2002 02:48 PM

Oh, I haven’t finished reading yet, but legos are for girls, too! I hated dolls as a child, but even seeing legos in a store makes me yearn for kid-dom again!!!
