I stole this trivia from Tin:
How I met your Father.
1. First Name.
2. How did you two meet?
3. Characteristics?
4. Your plan 20-30 years from now.
1. Frog prince named Henry. Growing up, I used to be called the female version of pig pen from Peanuts. The girls in school dreamed about meeting their prince charming. As I listened to the girls gush about their future princes, I wondered if there will ever be a prince for an ugly duckling like me. Twenty something years later, everyone grew up to be a swan and met up with their princes. I, the ugly duckling grew up to be just an ugly duck, read too many fairly tales, kissed couple of duds. Henry fortunately turned out to be the dude.....so far. Cool!
2. Lost in Transl1te-on. Eight years ago. A small low voltage lighting company ran by mom, pop, a dog, and an abandoned child named T.B. Right after completing my service contract, I was a newly single mother scraping to make ends meet, I interviewed for a CS job. Learning about what I did for my previous employment, the CSM was proud to tell me that their traffic manager used to be in the N@vy. I never really liked squids. The squids I knew in sc and delmar were unsats. The Filipino n@vies in the sick bay always ridiculed me for my choice of service, and all I can think of saying to them is 'just do your job, dork'. When I took the job at Transl1te, the CSM in numerous occasions talked about the former squid in their company. I wasn't really looking forward to meeting this character, and thank goodness he wasn't one of the Filipinos who teased me. Henry is tall, red head, eh - good looking. Still, I wasn't impressed after all he used to be a squid.
3. Characteristic: Goofy. He has a great sense of humor. He keeps me grounded.
4. 20-30 years from now: Send our kiddies to college. Sipping Mai-tai with Henry while he bakes his base tan on his boat named 'grateful debt'. Hopefully we hold on to our retirement fund and save some money to travel.
