Stuff about me:

1. My childhood pet was a cockapoo named Misty. I had her from when I was two until I was seventeen. As a child I tried to teach her to be a circus dog. Lots of times, though, she was my companion on the roof of my house. I hated being inside of it.

2. My first car was an orange Volkswagen Rabbit. I was flying down I-95 to a job interview when the tread on one of the tires flew off. This happened after I mocked someone broken down on the road. Lesson learned? Even your grandfather will sell you a lemon (yes, he made me give him a dollar bill) and "God don't like ugly". Since then (almost 20 years ago), when I see someone broken down on the side of the road, I pray for them.

3. I have a friend in California that works on movie, television, and commercial sets. We talked on the phone, today. He said it was nice to hear my voice. Awwww...warm fuzzies.

4. I'm actually a happy person despite my whining.

5. Twenty-one years ago this week, I moved to Los Angeles, lived with a band, did their hair and make-up, went to cosmetology school, hung out on the Sunset Strip, and almost ran over pedestrians, because that's what we do in Jersey. (Stopped for a pedestrian the other day; she looked at me like I was crazy.) I also rode on the back of a motorcycle without wearing a helmet.

6. I shot a rifle, once. When I'm nervous I laugh. A rifle and laughter do not mix, thus I do not shoot guns. Well, that and because my uncle, an expert marksman, shot and killed himself almost 10 years ago.

7. I hate wearing watches, shoes, anything tight around my wrists, and wearing socks. I've been that way forever. I was born 10 weeks early and they had me in restraints so I wouldn't yank out tubes and what-not. I wonder if I ended up conditioned from it.

I'm tagging:

• Mrs. Grim
• Aprilwine
• Ssssteve (That will take a while. Maybe.)
• Noddy (I'm throwing one over the pond.)
• Momster
• JT (Come on, you know he has funny things to say about himself.)
• Jeffro (If he is up to it.)

**Since this is a draft/scheduled post, I can't really say "tag you're it" to anyone, since the post won't be up when I tag them. If you are visiting and you are one of the above and see this, well, you know what to do. I'll tag y'all when I get home from work--whenever that is.
