Four things About ME!

Things you may not have known about me:
1. When I was a kid, my friend Tammy Moran and I would "make movies." We'd plot them, cast them, and act them out. I may have some of the plots and titles in a box somewhere.

2. I hate wearing bras. As soon as I think I won't be going out or having anyone in for the rest of the day, it comes off.

3. I have the remnant of a bruise on my left shin that I got in May 2006.

4. When I was six or seven I forgot my glasses at school, and was so afraid of what my mother would say I lied and told her they'd done a vision screening. She was mad that they hadn't notified her and called to complain. BUSTED!

Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Em-Kay Dry Cleaner and Laundromat, Valatie, NY (it was still there two summers ago when we swung through on our way home from Vermont)--1988, end of senior year, then the summer

2. Pizza demonstrator at Kroger's--1989, spring semester

3. Valentine's By the Sea--concession stand on Long Island Sound, summer 1989

4. Olan Mills--calling locals to sell in-home photo packages, lasted two days in 1991

1. Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Lord of the Rings
3. Princess Bride
4. Monty Python and The Holy Grail

I tag:

Jody, to give her something exciting to do

Misty, because she didn't do it last time, and I don't think she even READS this blog anymore

Bicky, so she doesn't have to think so hard about a blog post

Monica, because I think her answers will be really interesting
