THE BRUNETTE aka Dawn/My Beloved Bike Pacer/Owner of Ellie Smelly
Years Known: 2+ - Current roommate & one half of our little old married couple
1. I absolutely LOVE condiments, especially salad dressing. I normally have at least two different varieties in the fridge plus another two in the pantry as backup. <- Kid you not this girl will choose condiments over real food.
2. I have never been in a relationship longer than a year. Some view this as a negative thing but I view it as the marker that I know when a person is wrong for me or vice versa (see number 16).
3. I have only seen my grandmother three times in my life but we write letters every month to each other and have for years.
4. My best friend and I have been B.F.F's since we were 3...that means 24 years.
5. I always go with my gut feeling. It's never failed me to date.
6. I love music and the way it makes me feel, emotions it evokes and its ability to bring back memories unthought of instantly.
7. I could live without a t.v. and be perfectly happy.
8. I read book after book after book. Funny thing is I never read when I was younger-I hated it. Only after getting sick did I start reading obsessively (see below, number 9). All time favorite-The Five Love Languages.
9. I do not have a gallbladder. It stopped working so they yanked it out.
10. I have cadaver tissue in my mouth. **I feel dead people** <- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
11. I have had a rust spot on my eye and had to have a doctor laser it off when I was younger. I got it from hammering rocks on the driveway.
12. I have traveled to Paris and yes, it was amazing.
13. I have a slight (meaning monstrous) obsession with MAC cosmetics <- True Story.
14. I have never sung karaoke. That would just be mean to other human beings.
15. I always try to do the things that I fear the most or that create the most self doubt.
16. I believe that too many people settle for things in life-whether it be a relationship or job so I don't settle. Ever.
17. I believe that there is such a thing as soul mates (although I do not know if I would call it that) and know that one day I will find mine. Until then I'll continue dating all the wrong people. For less than a year of course.
18. I love high heel shoes. I can run in heels better than I can walk in flats. I'm 6'0" and I still rock the 3" stilettos, no problem. <- Let me tell you how awesome it is to stand next to her when we go out with my midget @ss.
19. My favorite thing to do is to drive on the highway with all the windows down, sunroof open with the music blaring, singing at the top of my lungs.
20. I am not scared of dying.
Do you see how tall she is compared to me???5 Things About Morgan from The Brunette:
1. Morgan doesn't like dogs. I have one. She lives with me. She loves her. <- Only when she's not being smelly.
2. She is scarily cheerful, like 5:00 a.m. cheerful. Always.
3. Morgan doesn't listen to voice mails, so don't leave 'em. She won't get 'em.

RIXY aka The Habib/Dots not Feathers
Years Known: 10± / Lived together for about 6± years starting shortly after I moved to Florida and on through to the Pamlico St. days.
20 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT RIXY:- Rixy looks like no one from her family. Not brown (Dad) nor white (Mom).
- Loves music and is the concert junkie of the group. Will choose live Music over food (which is very random because I am actually trying to find dollars in my purse for dinner for this week since I bought too many concert tickets on payday)
- Lived in India for a good portion of my childhood. <- Hence why we call her the Habib
- Loves to cook and feed others. If she is going to be husky then people are going down with her too.
- May or may not have toys and binoculars on her work desk.
- Thought El Nino was a Spanish named hurricane.
- I have ran my car into a tree………twice (I still say the first time wasn’t my fault and the car was in park). <-Parked cars don't ram into trees. Just saying.
- Thought armadillos where called barracudas. (In my defense my mother told me that when we moved to Florida).
- Thought acorns were called eggcorns. Didn’t find that out till I put “ I just got hit on the head with an eggcorn and my head is throbbing!” as my facebook status a month ago. My FB was blowing up that day! Everyone was very curious about what an eggcorn was.
- Loves Super Heroes. Wonder Woman is just one of the many. (RIP best Wonder Woman coffee mug. sniff sniff).
- Very confused on religion. Since Catholic (Grandparents), Hinduism (Father), Lutheran (A private school I went to) and Buddhism (Mother) have all been a part of my life.
- Thought that “copping a feel” was “copping a field” as in baseball. Didn’t find that out till a couple of years ago when I put “copping a field” on a caption for one of my pictures.
- Can probably order $30 of Chinese food just for myself. Not because I can’t control my eating…..I can never figure out what I want!
- Loves Gnomes. (RIP Fupie, I took that Gnome everywhere) <-You better not lose your new one!
- Loves to laugh. Also known as “the cackle”.
- Does not like juice or soda. Water and beer is good enough for me.
- Cannot stand the word “panty”. Makes me want to take a shower! Ugh.
- I must clean my ears three times a day. Once before my shower, after my shower and before I go to bed. I know it is bad for you but it needs to be done. <- True Story. We shared a bathroom for many years.
- My friends are my family.
- I think I am the last one to mature out of the group. Thanks to my boyfriend and his 4 year old son.
5 Things about Morgan from Rixy
- Has survived falling out of a two story window. (duh, like I wasn’t going to put that) <-You just HAD to go there didn't you...
- Was a complete raver girl! She use to match her pants with her hair! Just sayin!
- She would eat popcorn for dinner! No joke almost every night! We would be having a huge bbq and here she comes strolling in from her second or third job poppin some popcorn!
- She may or may not be a Ninja.
- And last but not least………….Honestly I have no idea where I would be today if I didn’t have her in my life. She has been there every step of the way and has supported me no matter what and is probably one of the few who actually gets me. Goes above and beyond and has never left my side. I can always depend on my Morgan.

- I have been with my husband for 9 years, married for 3, neither of us had ever been in a committed relationship before being together, and I still fall more in love with him every day (ok you can puke now). <-They are disgustingly cute. DISTGUSTINGLY!
