100 Things About Me
- I am a Cancer, and I believe in Astrology.
- I am an Air Force Brat.
- My dad was in Desert Storm, and my brother is going to Afghanistan next year.
- I am a Methodist, but I don't go to church much because some pastor always ends up insulting or offending me with his sermon. Those were in other states, though. Maybe I should try this one.
- I would love to visit both the '70s and the Renaissance, just to see if I could fool people into thinking I belonged there.

- I always forget where I was born.
- BUT I'm the only person in my immediate family who was born in America.
- I only have 2 piercings. 1 in each ear. CARAZY!
- I have no tattoos. I sort of want one, but since I change my desktop wallpaper every week, I don't think that would work out.

- I pass out when I give blood, even though it doesn't gross me out.
- I used to ask doctors to give me shots to prove to them how tough I was.
- When I like a TV show, I get sort of obsessed. Like watch every episode in a night obsessed. Then make it my desktop background for that week. I'm currently rabidly watching "House MD," "Lost," "Heroes," and "The 4400."
- I sleep with 4 pillows, and I use all of them. 1 beside me to put my leg on, 2 under my head, and 1 over my eyes.
- I think I might be a Crazy Cat Lady.
- I sing alto, but I have to like you a lot to let you hear it.
- My liver is so weak, I will get a hangover if I talk about alcohol too much.

- I've never broken a bone.
- I have had chicken pox and mono.
- I am proud of my credit score, and I'm terrified of ruining it.

- I make faces at myself in the mirror.
- I make a kick-ass lemonade.
- I am interested in all things Japan.

- I find meat excruciatingly plain unless there is a delicious goo on it.
- I am not what you might call "a healthy eater."
- I am a rabid television series watcher, and I often am disinterested in a series unless I think I could watch every episode of it. Then I refuse to watch them in any order but chronological.
- I have to go through video stores alphabetically. I had a boyfriend once who had to go through it reverse-alphabetically, and my anger regarding this may have led to the relationship's demise.
- I would like to learn a martial art one day, but I fear the committment. I kinda want to get a black belt in a weekend and then move on with my life.
- I cannot stand olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or grits. And I'm not crazy about seafood. I'll go to town on just about anything else, though.
- I blush when I get nervous, embarrassed, and a bunch of other times.
- I am a geek. Duh.
- I like Star Trek. TNG is my favorite, but I also like DS9. I *HATE* the originals, and I haven't given the other spinoffs a chance.
- I also like Star Wars. Only from ANH on, though, like most people.
- I play a lot of video games. I'm best at RPGs, adventure, and puzzle games. I am no good at first person shooters.
- I like crafty things like knitting and modeling clay.
- I am slightly obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
- I've never been to a convention of any kind, but I totally want to go.
- I find the rules of grammar intriguing.
- I also love studying homophones. Unlike, seemingly, the rest of the internet.
- I have a headache almost every day.
- I don't really care for MMORPGs. I think they're paper dolls for boys.
- I read books obsessively.
- I didn't drink coffee until I tried Starbucks. Yay, Capitalism!
- I have worked as a barista, a waitress, a nanny, a camp counselor, a school receptionist, a stand-up comedian, and a closed captioner.
- I get motion sick on boats and when some people drive.
- I visited Germany, Switzerland, England, France, Italy, Russia, Amsterdam, Austria, Canada, Mexico, and Aruba.
- I think I angered the DMV in a former life, and now they are slowly exacting their revenge.
- I've written drafts of two children's books. If you're a publisher or an illustrator, we should talk.
- I didn't drink alcohol until I was 21.
- I have volunteered at a radio station, Habitat for Humanity, and the Tiger Woods Foundation.
- I don't think I will ever understand the rules for Poker or Craps. Or Magic the Gathering.
- I played tennis and softball in high school.
- I use Notepad to code all my webpages. Yeah, it takes a really long time.
- I get pretty emotional about things. I have been known to cry during Applebees commercials and certain episodes of "Futurama."
- My most frequent nightmare is the one about being back in college at finals time and having forgotten to go to the class all semester. Which is weird because I never once skipped a class in college.
- My cat sleeps on my chest at night and claws me up if I move.
- I am really curious about religions other than mine.
- I am poison to electronic appliances. ESPECIALLY ones for which I have purchased extended warranties or paid in advance for months of service.
- I am an annoying Devil's Advocate, but only because I want people to see all sides of things. I get this from my mom. "Should I buy this game?" "Sure, looks like fun." "Okay, I will!" "But it's expensive." "...Okay, I won't." "But look at the graphics!"
- I always try to make some goofy face in pictures. Everyone has dumb pictures of people smiling! My best friend's mom threatened my life over this when I was a bridesmaid in her daughter's wedding.
- I love traveling. I once went on vacation alone for a month in Switzerland just because I thought it would be awesome. Having a family in the airline industry doesn't hurt when lonliness kicks in, either.
- I went to Vanderbilt University because it was the best college I got into. I got a full ride to 2 other schools, but their only majors were Being a Cowboy and Beating Up Gays.
- I sometimes sleep in the "butterfly" position. That's touching the palms of your feet and then laying your head on top of them. My friend's mom saw me like this at a slumber party and asked me if she should call the hospital.
- I am a cat person, but dogs are okay, too. Especially ones that look like puffs.
- I have no qualms with utilizing walkthroughs and strategy guides of video games. I bought this game to relax, pal, not to get stuck in the whale's mouth for all eternity because I never got the feather to tickle its uvula and sneeze me out.
- I like Guiness even though it tastes like a loaf of bread.
- I don't like going to doctors. Not because I'm afraid of pain. Once a dentist berated me for having a cavity, and once an optometrist asked me if I just wanted to get glasses because all the other kids had them. He also did my eye test just by looking in my eye. Thinking back, I'm not sure if he was a real doctor.
- When I was little, I didn't want to be a ballerina or an astronaut. I wanted to be the CEO of NBC.
- I can be pretty lazy. Not with life goals or stuff like that. With things like rolling myself around my house on my computer chair because I don't feel like getting up.
- I expect honesty from others, and I am sometimes too honest myself.
- I am a pack rat, and I cannot throw away anything from my childhood because I don't want it to be sad.
- I got to meet Chuck Palahniuk, one of my favorite authors, a couple years back, and it was the coolest thing ever. He can make people pass out by reading to them!
- Anyone who meets me after only knowing me online informs me that I'm not as big of a bitch as they thought I would be.
- When I was little, I thought everyone was a robot but me. Then I realized I had never seen the inside of myself either...DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!
- I should really be on the show "What Not to Wear." Seriously. You should see the things I choose to leave the house in.
- I love Alton Brown, but I sort of wish Rachel Ray would fall on a cheese grater.
- I am not great with keeping in touch with old friends, but I try.
- When I was younger (and before "The Truman Show"), I thought my entire life was being secretly taped as a sitcom, and I made it a point never to leave a room without making a joke, so they could take a commercial break while I was gone.
- My favorite meal will always be grilled cheese with fries, pickles on the side, and a diet coke with a lemon. Yes, I am 10 years old.
- I used to swear a lot (see archives/old pictures of me). I don't so much anymore. Sometimes, but not so much.
- I laugh at really inopportune times. Like when someone says something that they meant to be serious.
- The only time I really punched someone in the face was in 6th grade, after he told me I had cute puppy dog eyes.
- I love really spicy food. My friends once made fun of me while eating sushi and wasabi because tears were streaming down my face, and I was sniffling as I told them how great it tasted.
- I'm moderately good at speaking in accents.
- I find people who use semicolons pretentious, since it really functions just as well as a period, colon, or comma.
- I'm really not as egotistical as this list makes me out to be.
