We had 2 chickens for a while when we were growing up Lotte. My dad would bring home off the wall things sometimes. He brought a goat home, and we lived in the city, he also brought home a pinball machine from a bar. Never knew what he would come home with.

I love Supernatural! I didn't watch it when it first aired (I knew nothing of it) buy caught repeats in the morning while at college. Continued to watch it because I thought the two guys were cute, mainly Dean. I'll never forget which episode it was and what part it was on.


message 1442: by Bree (new)

Bree (breesc23) I don't think I did this so...

1. I'm a first time mommy to a baby boy who may or may not be named after a no-show angel from Supernatural...

2. In college I skipped a morning class to finish watching an episode of Supernatural

3. I love the idea of fairytale retellings and have so many ideas of my own that I'll be writing

4. I still ship Carol and Darryl from The Walking Dead!

5. Am one of those crazy ppl who has a plan for the inevitable zombie apocalypse (make sure you all get your insurance for it!-)
