1. I am in the middle of writing a big paper right now on divorce mediation so my brain is just fuzzy enough to be thinking about weird facts about myself. I chose the topic of divorce mediation because it interests me academically but terrifies me as a possible career choice. I like to pick paper topics that both interest me and scare me, it keeps me on my toes.
2. I have a running joke with my friends about becoming the "crazy cat lady". You know, that single woman in her 30s+ with no partner and like 15 cats in her home? I thought I was doing pretty well because my cat-load is currently two and I am planning to get married soon. However, then I named a blog after my cat. Strangely no one has teased me about the crazy cat thing since I started the blog- I must have crossed some sort of threshold line by doing that and now "crazy cat lady" is my reality.
3. I love having a blog where I cook new foods and try to take pictures of my cat near those foods. It is an added bonus if I can get Zoey to actually sniff something. Sometimes Zoey isn't in the mood and I call in her BFF, Will. Some of my favorite pictures are the times when the picture doesn't quite capture the look I was going for. For example, this is my favorite picture from my sushi experiement:
4. I met my first vegetarian in high school and I thought that the whole idea was very strange. At that time I was sure that I could never be a vegetarian. I have since learned to never say never.
5. I became a vegetarian primarily because of my older sister. When I was in my early teens she decided to start boycotting Proctor & Gamble because they did tests on animals. Since I looked up to my sister and wanted to be like her, I did the same. Because of her inspiration I later took the next step and became a vegetarian.
6. I live in Oregon, so once it starts raining in the winter I may not see the sun in months. I have been known to call people outside of Oregon just to confirm that the sun still exists. It also gets dark at 4:00pm right now, that gets old pretty fast.
7. I got my camera as a birthday present from my mom for my 30th birthday. I asked for it because I wanted to take more pictures of my cat, Zoey. In fact, I even refer to my camera as "The Zoey Cam". See #2.
Just in case you are missing pictures of Zoey, I have a great picture of her watching TV:

I loved your facts, and I love your cat. I never get bored of seeing Zoey >:o)
I spend all my time trying to take food pictures without a cat in them!
That was so nice to read!
I'll try to think of some for myself, but who knows if I'll get it done : )
Zoey looks like she's watching the presidential debates there! So focused!
I loved this post!
Thanks for the tag- I love your kitty, too, and don't worry too much about cat lady thing. Doesn't everyone love the crazy cat lady in a weird sort of way?
Thanks for the tag! After the weekend, I will write a post with seven random things about me...
Funny, I learned not to use 'never' when I became a vegan. I always said I could never live without (dairy) ice cream: doing that for four years now (and dairy ice cream? That smells really bad! Yuk.)
cool facts. I love learning more about people.
I know what you mean about the lack of sun. I'm in WA and every year, I'm just as shocked as the first year when the sun took it's yearly vaction.
I hate to tell you this, but from one crazy cat lady to another, you don't have to be single to be a crazy cat lady. And the number of cats you have doesn't matter. Oh, and fighting it won't work.
