One question I hear more than any other is What's a Fuzzball??" Allow me to explain:
A Fuzzball is a 30-year-old fallen debutante who lives in Houston, TX with a bossy dog and an even bossier parrot who she SWEARS is the reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
A Fuzzball prefers animals to most people, because people can really suck sometimes.
A Fuzzball loves music, ALL music ALL of the time. If she's not listening to it, then she's singing it.
A Fuzzball has a mad love for all things British, especially their actors.
A Fuzzball is blissfully happy in a bookstore, preferably one with good music playing in the background. If you look under a Fuzzball's bed you'll usually find an entire library of books that she has dropped there after falling asleep reading.
Fuzzballs are usually incurable romantics, ridiculously optimistic, and bent on making the world a happier place.
Your typical Fuzzball will probably have a completely bizarre sense of humor. Just go with it, it will take you to funny places.
You should also be aware that Fuzzballs are giant nerds. Seriously. Science fiction, computers, the whole shebang.
Fuzzballs are also budding photographers. They love looking at the world through a lens and finding new ways to be creative.
Oh...and you can also look for a Fuzzball in one of the best movies ever made. ;)

When I was a kiddo I wanted freckles somethin' fierce, so I'd draw them on. What a nut! Did you have something that you really really wanted when you were a kid? I remember friends of mine fashioning retainers out of paper clips and wearing them around school. Geez kids are weird. ;)
The comments to this entry are closed.
Seriously? The only thing I can think of is that I just really didn't want my sister. I tried to get rid of her by decapitating her with a record, but it just left a tiny scar on the bridge of her nose.
I'm glad I was unsuccessful now, of course.

I used to want a retainer SO bad that I also made a paper clip one. I never had braces or anything for my teeth and I was so jealous of all my friends. I wanted to be able to make *my* retainer click and flip it around like everyone else could.

I wanted glasses so bad that apparently I got "hysterical blindness" from being hit in the head during a crazy food fight (with a can of soda). I got glasses but was not happy (I thought I looked like Margaret from Dennis the Menace instead of my friend who wore red glasses) because the glasses magnified my eyes. So, I got over that quickly. :)

I desperately wanted braces as a young child. When I eventually got them, because I desperately needed them, I was allergic to the metal in them. allergies are cruel.

Okay, trying this again. You are so frikking adorable it should be a misdemeanor.
Also, I wanted ballet slippers so bad that I wacked off the top part of my keds, cut a hole in the heel and thread ribbons through the hole to make home-made toe shoes. They were hideously butchered things and I loved them.
My mom was pissed.

Uhm, I did the paper clip thing. Hey, I had straight teeth and EVERYONE in my class had braces!
I was a dork. I'm so proud of it.

I wanted to be left-handed. :-) I have no idea why.

For years, every time my sister blew out her birthday candles or lost an eyelash, she wished for blue eyes and big boobs. She never got either, but I think she's over it by now.

I wanted a cast on my arm. I didn't actually want to break my arm, I just wanted the cast so everyone would sign it.
