Our Six Random Things
1.
JS still uses her childhood blanket called "Blue-y" (because it was sky blue in color). Or is it B-louie? B-louis?

I have a corresponding red one, and my brother, an orange. JS is the only one who named hers. We have had these for, oh, about 24 years (can't remember). Actually, all three of us still use these blankets. Hers has most wear. It is merely threads hanging on to each other. And it's not at all blue anymore, sky or otherwise.

Our mother (aka "Mama" of cilantro beef, black pepper regime, giniling and fish head soup fame) once procured a replacement for Blue-y, specifying the brand of blanket and describing it in detail to her partner-in-crime in the Philippines. She even asked that the blanket be sky blue.

When the blanket arrived, it was blue-green! It is now sometimes referred to as "blue-greeny". However, JS does not think it worthy enough to use.

2.
I get a headache when I play Pictionary. This is, of course, from getting overly excited while playing and shouting out my guesses. Yes, I also kind of lose my voice.

3.
JS was a vegetarian for a year. She finally converted back when, at a Japanese restaurant, she was forced to order onigiri (Japanese rice balls) as an accompaniment (ulam, sometimes translated as viand) to her rice!

4.
I bruise easily. NOT A METAPHOR!

I once got a bruise on my hip bone because I was carrying a stick of Chapstick in my pants pocket.

I once had a big bruise that looked like an orchid (all lime green-y with purplish dots in the right places). It was very pretty.

5.
JS has had plastic surgery.

Sure, sure, it was supposedly for actual "medical" reasons. (Her lower eyelashes were irritating her eyes, so they had to turn the eyelashes outward a bit.)

6.
I am an advocate of home clothes. Home clothes are the best!

(You know, home clothes! Clothes you wear at home. Not to be confused with pyjamas/sleepwear.)
