Michelle,
I too love switchfoot. The thread I started has really sprung me into my faith. i'm reading the Bible and listening to Christian rock, which is nowhere near as dorky as it was back in the day, or is it my perspective....hmm...
Ps- crotch being scanned and scoped to death,LMBO!! I know the feeling. Nothing like laying on the operating table with a giant laser aimed at your hoo ha and ten medical students examining your not so happy cervical cells. That right there was the loss of my shame, LOL! I started cracking jokes because that's what I do when I'm soo uncomfortable. It worked.LOL!

I had a crush on Madonna too, back in the day. And Shakira is totally hot.  But it's not a sexual thing, either. Hard to explain, but I'm glad someone else "gets" it!

Hey, that made me wonder ... anyone here have her belly button pierced? I am really not a piercing person (have my ears pierced but not worn earrings in years and years), but I always thought pierced belly buttons looked so cute. Is it really painful and can you change the ... er ... earring-that-doesn't-go-in-an-ear (not sure what you call them if they're not in the ear?? ).
I guess it's pretty much past the time where I could do it -- I want to have babies soon (and I'm sure will not want to be showing off my stomach after that, ha ha), plus I am not sure if it's a good idea because of future possible laparoscopic surgeries. But, I'm still curious.

I have my belly button pierced, and I have had it for about 7 years almost. I like mine.. I'm beginning to get sick of it but I still like enough that I won't take it out.
The jewlery that you wear in it is actually called a belly button ring, and can be a hoop or a barbell.. I have the barbell type.
As for the pain factor, it didn't hurt me too much. Kinda like getting stung by a yellowjacket.. but after that it was fine. And you can definitly change the jewlery.. I don't do it often but its easy if you want to do it.
As for pregancy though.. thats the one thing i'm afraid of, bc i've heard that the hole stretches out a lot when you get larger in the belly area.. not something i'm looking forward too. But oh well.. not much I can do abou tit now.

The stretching only happens on some people.
My friend was pregnant when she had hers done, and she just took the jewellery out, as it was a tad prone to get caught on her shirts (she always wore tight ones, and she got HUGE). The hole never got bigger, or smaller.

I've had two peircings, and finally conceded that my size 18 really doesn't look cute with a ring anymore...I had it in over my pregnancy, had it in after my laparoscopic appendectomy, and had it in after stretch marks etc. It was sort of sad to get rid of it!
The hoopie ones are reaaally a bugger to change. The stick ones were easy but the ball always fell off. I've had all knds and sort of wish I still had it but...just don't have the bod for it anymore!

"People like you should shampoo my crotch!" Oh the times I've said it in my head. LOL!!!!

I'm SO happy about spring (minus the rain we've had for the past two days).
Until Tina (Sara Sage) moved, she lived in Ottawa as well. Funny how small of a world it is!

I like Oregon, but I don't really like my hometown (not where I'm living now). It was very small, but had too many gossips and hypocrites.

Age: 29. 30 in May!!
Booze: Red, red wine. Preferably pinor noir. Or a nice cold pinot gris in the summer. A tanqueray and tonic does the trick too.
Career: Um, former criminal defence lawyer, currently unemployed, seeking to make a transition to film/TV production. Stop laughing.
Dogs: no dog, only cats. All dead now, though.
Essentials: blistex herbal lip therapy, my tea thermos, credit card, gmail, and these boards, of course!
Favorite song right now: Hmm. Nothing sticks out. But really digging the new Strokes CD - especially that song that goes "the heart beats in its cage.." And god love Madonna. Ya, you better be "Sorry". I wore jelly bracelets because of you.
Games: The usual. Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary. Also this wierdly addictive card game called Set.
Hometown: Vancouver, Canada! Too beautiful for words. Why I am moving to Toronto, again?
Instruments: Piano. Only I quit about 20 years ago.
Jam: Oooh, a tough one. A dead heat between raspberry and blackberry. On toast with almond butter, yum!
Kids: None yet. 2 or 3, ideally.
Last kiss: Oh, here we go. New Year's, at a bar in Whistler, in a shameless public makeout with some Brazilian dude. Armando? Arnesto? Oh this is humiliating.
Most admired trait: Good listeners score big points with me. It's not easy to do but means so much.
Name of my crush: I can't say his name on the internet!! Although he has the SEXIEST name. He is a former colleague. With long, lushious eyelashes. And a wonderful, gorgeous girlfriend. As for celebrity crushes: Does anyone else find Donnie Deutsh delectable? (PS who are Terry Sharp and Trevor Webb. Should I know them?)
Overnight hospital stays: none so far! Knock on wood.
Phobias: Not a big fan of heights. Also: never finding a job I love - or a man I love. And of course all those niggly little IBS-related fears, like being bloated on my wedding day.
Quotes: What if doing the hokey-pokey IS what it's all about?
Regret: Anorexia and bulimia. I'm still paying the price.
Sweets: You nailed it: chocolate chip cookies. Fresh and warm from the oven. Ecstasy. Or hot pie 'n cold vanilla ice cream. Not that I've had either, lately. Gluten-free fig newton, anyone?
Time I wake up: Since I'm not working (see career, above), 8:30 or 9.
Underwear: depends on the outerwear - either a g-string or a boy-cut brief. And I am a lifelong devotee of the underwire.
Vegetable I love: Oh, too hard. All the ones I miss because I'm too scared to eat them!! And, yes, asparagus is very nice.
Worst habit: Being too hard on myself and on others. Seeing the glass half-empty. Squeezing my pores.
X-rays: Just that small bowel follow-through where you swallow white liquid and they watch as it exits your stomach into your intestines (or, in my case, sits in your stomach for an eternity while you sit cramped up and crying in a freezing examining room)
Zodiac: I'm right on the cusp - Taurus and Gemini. I consider myself a Gemini though, as I am definitely twin-like in nature. I.e. criminal law/random bar makeouts - need I say more?
This was fun, thanks Shannon
