You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out :)

1. First Name: KiKi. No I wasn't born with it, but it did start with my mother calling me that, so it's still one of my "given" names :).

2. Age: It's scary, cos I often forget my age - I'll be 27 on October 30th. Sometimes I get confused and think I'll be 28..

3. Location: Body is in Idaho, heart's in California.

4. Occupation: I'm the front office manager for a not for profit homeless/underinsured clinic in Boise, Idaho.

5. Partner?: Married to the wonderful

rudestlink - you may know him as Mr Sexiest Guy Ever_TM from my journal from a couple of years ago. Yat for things that work out!

6. Kids: Do some kitties and puppies and rats count?

7. Brothers/Sisters: One sister named Cheryl, she's 28 and she lives in Hawaii. I'm going to visit in two months!

8. Pets: What about animal family? I have a japanese chin called Astrid, a wolf named Ronin, a ragdoll kitty called Impy, a ragdoll kitty called Sophia, a tuxedo kitty Morrighan, a brown rat called Triton, and a black and white rat called Tinkerton.

9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
-home/yard renovation-getting it into suitable shape for selling eventually, and purging myself of things no longer needed/wanted. Getting my back yard under control
-reconnecting with friends, I've felt reclusive, school isn't helping
-finding my muse and centering my mind, I've been lacking in the creative juices, mainly due to stress and being so busy

10. Where and for what did you go to school for?: I'm currently attending BSU for social work

11. Parents?: My father passed away about six years ago. He was very morally conservative, but somehow accepted me anyway. He was a Christian and a Marine - don't ask me how I turned out as I did. I think he brought me up well though, and I find myself to be fairly moral, even if most of my beliefs clashed with his. My mother came to the US from the Phillipenes when she was about 20 years old, my father met her when he was stationed there, and they ended up marrying, and then took on the long process of bringing her here. Despite living in this country for 30ish years, she still sometimes mixes up the letters P and F. She loves to travel, and she still acts very young.

12. Who are some of your closest friends?: To be honest, I'm so out of touch with people I don't even know. Matt, Martin, Corey, Lizzy. I wish I had more female friends in Idaho
