Stacey @ RealWorldMom tagged me because I’m the awesome and she realizes it. Wait – no, because she’s the awesome and she knows I that I realize it. Here are my lists of five things I love and five things I hate. Sooo easy – I love or hate everything – there’s no gray area for me; I’m drastic!

Things I Love
1. My girls [that's mushy and cliché] Dog Rescue. It’s my passion. I specialize in the rehabilitation of bully and brachycephalic breeds. I’ve been involved with over 6 dozen successful placements so far. I’m on sabbatical right now though. I’ve kind of had my fill of abused Pit Bulls and tepid Boxers for the time being.
2. Strawberries. Except, I don’t get why people view them as sexy or as an aphrodisiac. I mean, I don’t find little dark seeds and fruit veins in your teeth or red stained plaque buildup at the gumline to be appealing. Or that sickening slurpy sound you make to avoid the juice dribbling down your chin. But maybe that one guy from way back then just had bad dental hygiene and manners.
3. Anime. Yes, I love it. With a passion. It started with Akira. But it really developed when I first saw Andasen dôwa ningyo-hime or, The Little Mermaid. The realness, the darkness, the ending – it took my breath away, even @ 5 years old and I still love it dearly. It continued throughout my childhood with YuYu Hakusho and Dragonball Z. It is still very present and if I had it my way, my Valentine’s Day weekend would be in Washington, D.C @ Katsucon.
4. Writing [talk about cliché] Blogging [even worse] Big Words. I really have a thing for big words. They turn me on. It’s sickening actually. I think I mentioned in my ’100 Things about Me’ blog that my favorite word is Bababadal­gharagh­ta- kammin­arronn­konn­bronntonn­erronn­tuonn­t- hunn­trovarrhoun­awnskawn­too hoo­hoordenen- ­thurnuk.
5. Soda. I used to really love juice. And lemonade. Now I feel like I can’t function without soda. Not that diet shit either – the real stuff. It’s horrible on my hyperglycemia, but I don’t care.

Things I Hate
1. Breed Specific Legislation. It goes back to my dog rescuing – it is the bane of my existence. Bullies are the new black man. I’m totally serious with that. If you agree with BSL or are prejudiced against pit bulls, amstaffs, staffies or the like, I suggest you get the fuck off my blog because I hate you too and I’m throwing e-bricks @ you as you read.
2. Hanna Montana/Miley Cyrus. Someone shoot her already.
3. PeTA. PeTA kills animals. The entire organization is corrupt and hypocritical. Educate yourselves on the horrors of their policies, beliefs and actions.
4. Bridges. Not overpasses, just bridges over water. They freak me out – my only irrational fear. Phobia, actually. I used to hyperventilate and get shooting pains in my temples when going over bridges as a kid. I’m better now. [Edit - 02.09.08 @ 4:18pm - There's a name for it! I had no idea! It's called Gephyrophia. Thanks Anglophile Football Fanatic!!!]
5. Pseudo-Photographers. It really gets under my skin when people get a SLR and start calling themselves photographers. Especially when their photos are mediocre. You have to have training, talent, and an innate ability to be a photographer. If you don’t, you just have a damn camera. Call photography your hobby. Don’t call yourself a photographer.
