Questionnaire that Ron Brown Just Sent to Me –

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER SOMEONE?
Yes, my Auntie Annie named me. I am CharleneAnn in “honour” of Auntie Annie. She lived at 1062 Redwood Avenue, we lived at 1065 Redwood. Auntie Annie still maintains (to this day) that the “stork” turned right instead of left i.e. Made a “wrong” turn **SMILE**

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU REALLY CRIED?
Ugh. 2 Thursdays ago. The worst fight ever with my Father “Dr. Dan.” I have not seen him since – Actually zero contact. Have “no” feeling about it - - yet.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Yes, I do. I practiced as a child my handwriting. Because I was still “of” the generation that it was NOT “acceptable” to write left-handed. So was “encouraged” (by hits on the left hand – by a ruler nonetheless – Ms. Crockett Grade 4 teacher I remember OMG) NOT to write left-handed. So in turn, I “practiced” so my handwriting would NOT “look” left-handed. If that makes any sense at all?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Currently, I am a Born-Again Vegan. But favourite meat? Is Ukrainian Sausage – Is that a lunchmeat tho? It was for all the Ukrainians in Winnipeg, I was brought up with **SMILE**

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Kind-of – I currently am “owned” by a Wacky Dalmatian – Like a 2 year old Terror in polka dots. Male.

IF I WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Yes, to try to “get” me. As myself? I sure can’t HAH

DO YOU USE SARCASM ALLOT?
Ummmmmmmmmm, yes. Too much.

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes.
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
I live IN the town of the Bungee Jump of B.C. I have bungeed and I have done it Naked. It was quite an experience – Two fears in one session killed – Fear of heights and fear of public nudity – I forgot I was jumping when I hit the “bottom” as I was thereafter more concerned of my breasts hittin’ me in the head. HAH All you heard was SnapSnap Then me going Owwwww – That hurt and then me Hangin’ on to them for the rest of the bouncin’ HAHAHAHA Would I do it again? Sure as a Duo with someone who has never bungeed before.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CEREAL?
What are those multi-colour lil’ circle ones? Ahhhhhhhhh been awhile since I have eaten “brand” cereal. Or oatmeal with brown sugar – Or… I am drawing a blank here – WARNING – Don’t drink wine and do this survey LOL

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
When it counts, I am. When first confronted with a problem? My gut reaction is to flee – Immediately. That I acted upon many a time – In crises situations – Finding myself 100’s of miles elsewhere and the other person(s) wondering WTF did she go? Or where Is Charlene? LOL Not an ideal way to deal with “sticky” situations. At all. I am strong, when pushed. Initially I flounder. I am not strong initially in relationships – I am “hoping” for them/the man/other person to “get” my Hints LOL Passive Aggressive? Sure – Where men are concerned. Women? I am too “in their face” LOL

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ICE CREAM?
2 – Coffee or Cappuccino. Or throwing Bailey’s into my Ice Cream. Oh yeah!!! Or throwing peanut butter into my chocolate ice cream – Or doing that “for” me??? Will get you many, many favours HAH or allot of Yes’s from me.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Too much the Dentist’s kid – I notice their teeth. Then their eyes. But in a group situation? When I first walk into a room? And there are a group of people (more than 2) – I can “see” peoples’ auras or their hurts on their bodies. Hurts are black areas/colour “floating” by their body where the hurt is. But I can only see auras of groups of people up until the point when no one is aware of me yet, walking into the room. Then once noticed, it’s like the group “shuts down” or… Don’t know how to explain why the aura disappears en masse.

RED OR PINK?
Hot Pink. Being a female, forced to become very aware of the colour red.

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVOURITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
I am not forward, or I don’t know how to express myself “positively” - - Aggressively?? To a male that I consider attractive. It’s like I become this True Pisces and fish around. Like for example, instead of saying – Hey I like you, would you like to WHATEVER – I say So what are you doing Saturday? Or I am even more vague – Or I “use” sarcasm – And am way too forward LOL So I am removing myself from “outright” rejection. So I’m single and MAD at me. So I guess I am my own “worst” enemy as the saying goes. Or another example, there is someone I would like to date, recently – I said, Hey I’m in town on such and such a date – let’s meet for WHATEVER and his reply? Oh I’m busy working out that night or I’m busy cycling that night. Instead of my saying further statements Like I am there the whole f’g night MORON lol I take it as rejection OF ME i.e. take it damn right personal and think MF lol And retreat. I’ve always had “aggressive” men in my 20’s or I was outright aggressive in my 20’s – It worked then – Hey wanna fuck? Of course they did – I was a size two with hooters LOL Now that I want a “relationship” I don’t have the “skills” to BEGIN one… Okay long-winded reply/answer. Confusion how to move it from a VERY secret (known only to myself and my online blog lol) “crush” to “something”…

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
Dead? 2 Uncles – Uncle Parker – He loved me unconditionally. Just Did. He “let” me Be ME. Completely and Wholly and loved me. In fact, took joy in my being Unique. I didn’t have to be the person he “wanted” me to be. He loved me FOR me. 2nd Uncle Doug – He was the sunshine of my Maternal side. He lit up a room, before he was even in the room. Everyone IMMEDIATELY loved Uncle Doug. Always was with his guitar – Would serenade every female in the room – You were Special AND loved when Uncle Doug was around. Alive? Cousin Allan – I love COMPLETELY and WHOLEY my Cousin Allan. I was the first to “see” him when he was born – He was MY baby – I introduced him to the rest of the family. There was an Instant connection between the 2 of us. INSTANTLY. When he grew up – and became this chubby teenager – His “older” cousin Charlene would take care of the Bullies – NO ONE hurt my Beloved Cousin Allan. I moved away when he was 14 – So I never “knew” him as an Adult. He called me when his Father died – My Uncle Doug (same Uncle mentioned above) so that I would be there at the funeral as Cousin Allan said he could not “get through it” without his beloved Charlene being there. I flew there IMMEDIATELY upon him calling me (i.e. the next flight) I was there – Vancouver - - > 3 hours. Talk about NO PACKING. Cousin Allan and I “disappeared” for 24 hours and I layed with him and consoled him as he cried over his Father dying, and my Beloved Uncle Doug. I do not think that it is a weakness for a man to cry. I think it is a weakness when he doesn’t. Cousin Allan is my Beloved. Now? He’s a 6’1” male model, hair formerly down to his ass LOL Big blue eyes; bluer than mine, hair darker than mine (but I remove myself from the Indian black hair/natural) – We look like brother and sister together. Shocking how much we look alike. But he’s my Baby. Of course we “look” alike. We are bonded. So I miss him. Dreadfully. We talk thru out the years, but not the same.

WHAT COLOUR PANTS & SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
Sky blue pants/pj pants, w/white polar bears on them – cute, very comfy. Shoes? None, as I was just painting my toenails. LOL Sparkly ocean green.

Fuchsia. That was the crayon most used by me, as a kid. Everything in my pictures (and I coloured outside the lines LOL) were Fuchsia First. Then that green-blue colour. Then everything was its “correct” colour LOL

FAVOURITE SMELLS?
Men’s cologne. OMG That gets me every time. When you walk by someone and you catch a smell of cologne after they pass? Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, that gets a double take by me, every time. Other smells? A room after sex. I used to love Sunday mornings with my ex, because our bedroom just reeked LOL So I’d not change the sheets For a couple of days or keep the pillows – If they were keeping the scent LOL Or I would not wash one of his shirts – And leave it in the closet hangin’ and I would sniff it while he was at work or just elsewhere – Okay I love scents. My favourite scent for me? Musk oil, by Jovan. Ohhhhhhh if I could bathe in that, I would. Love it. Or a secondary perfume? The one ! Love that one too. Or sandalwood incense or seabreeze. Or bubble bath scents, just before you climb in, when it’s just steamy - -

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE TELEPHONE?
My “Chosen” Mom Jan. I call her my Chosen Mom meaning that IF I could have chosen who to be my Biological Mother/Parent it would have been her. We were talking about the lack of or rather zero communication of my Father. She, Jan, was with my Father for 35 years. But they are no longer together. Loooooooooooong story LOL
