They Call Me Junebug

Recycled

Some background on me I guess...

I'm the oldest of 6 kids, I was home schooled till I was in high school and I'm not socially retarded. I work in the engineering department of an evil oil company, and it's the first job I've truly loved, mainly because I don't work for a woman.

I met and married my husband in a span of 15 months, he's 8 years older than I am and he works for "The Man". He thinks I'm crazy because I don't automatically discredit all conspiracy theories, and I say he's been brainwashed.

I love to play sports, any sport, though I grew up playing soccer. I wish I could be a gym rat, but at the end of my day all I dream about is going home and putting my pj's on. The Newlywed Nine has turned into like the Newlywed 20, and I'm currently embroiled in a bitter battle with my inner thighs.

I love my family, immediate and extended, and I think that a lot of social problems in the US are caused by the dissolution of the nuclear family and the support system it provides. My family, aunts, uncles, cousins etc spend a week at the beach every summer for the past 10 years, and it is the highlight of my year, next to the weekend I spend with all of my female relatives at Christmas time.

My husband and I call each other "turds" as a form of affection, talking as if we had lisps amuses us, we like to quote the line from Princess Bride "I'm not a witch I'm your wife", get in arguments about hypothetical situations. We also like to take time to cuddle in the recliner, watch episodes of Futurama and surprise each other with gifts from the grocery store. Gossip mags and real Coke for me, Architectural Digest and Candy Corn for him.

I love Starbuck's Mocha Frappuccino's, mostly for the whipped cream. I've been known to ask for a tall frap in a venti glass filled with whipped cream. This greatly embarrasses my husband.

As for music, I'm not too ashamed to admit that James Taylor is my favorite artist, and that Mexico might be my all-time favorite song along with Something in the Way She Moves. I may be the only person under 40 who's been to two of his concerts. Lately though, Snow Patrol is what has been in my CD player. Open Your Eyes, Set the Fire to The Third Bar and You Could Be Happy are great, but Hands Open is my favorite I think. Other favorite songs, in no particular order of cheesiness: Power of Love by Huey Lewis, Unwell by MatchboxTwenty, Long December by Counting Crows, Revolution by The Beatles, Return to Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins, Hit Me Baby by Trashy Spears, With a Little Help From My Friends as sung by Joe Cocker, The Cheers theme, and that's about all I've got.
