Re: Back to Basics GTKY poll (bonus points for PIPs!)
I cannot stand the sound of whistling either!
aww that sucks!
How long have you been on TN?
I have only been posting for a day, but I've been on TK for a couple years basically and have poked my head in every now and then.
How long have you been married/with your SO (if applicable)
DH and I have been together for almost 4 years, we've been married for a whopping 2 months. ;-)
Where was your wedding and honeymoon?
We were married in our hometown, honeymoon was in Disney World and Universal Studios.
How old are you?
I'm a young'un. Lol. I'm 23, turning 24 in April. Everyone says I look 15 though.
What's your BNOTB status? Never-ever? Someday? TTC? Never again?
Possibly someday. DH and I are currently saying we'll throw out the BC pills on our 5th wedding anniversary and TTW for a year, see what happens. I supposedly have PCOS though, so we may end up needing fertility treatments. In any case, we'll probably stop at 1 child.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a Business Systems Analyst. I work in the IT department at a hospital. It's stressful but I like it. Except for going on call. I want to throw that pager against the wall sometimes, lol.
What is your dream job?
Well I pretty much like where I am, but I LOVE graphic design and I'm a talented singer. I could legitimately pursue a career in either (and was a graphic/web designer for 4 years in college), but graphic design is often unsteady work/pay (and I'm the primary breadwinner) and musicians have too much travel and spotlight for my taste. I'm a privacy-loving homebody.
What does your SO do?
He's a full time student right now, so he does odd jobs and part time gigs right now. At the moment he's an assistant/runner for a real estate office. He's majoring in Business and wants to get into something bussiness-y, lol.
Do you have any hobbies?
Design. I design wedding invitations for my friends (designed all my own WR stationery as well), I make graphics and logos for people sometimes, and I love designing houses in the Sims 3. I do both floorplans and interior design. I love it.
How did you come up with your Nest name?
It's my TK name carried over. When I first joined TK I was making the free wedding website, and it asked for the URL I wanted, so I put in "sessionswedding." I had no idea it would use that for my name on the boards as well, and I wasn't able to change it. So there ya go, haha.
Any pets?
Nope. Live in an apartment. Not really an animal person anyway.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
I can only pick one? Lol. I'm gonna go with people being late.
What would a perfect date night be for you?
Something active like bowling. I sit on my butt all day at work. When I go out, I like to DO things.
Girls night?
Board games and movies, slumber party style.
Night alone?
Singing and dancing to music. Loud music.
Favorite type of food?
Pizza, lol.
Food you hate?
Lots of foods. I'm a very picky eater.
Favorite drink?
I rarely, if ever, drink. I'm not a prude, I just don't like the taste of alcohol. I can stomach a fruity drink like vodka/cranberry or Sangria. And I like Rosa Regale wine.
Early bird or night owl?
Neither, really, but if I had to pick I guess I'd go with early bird.
