The gene pool could use a little Chlorine.

I'm bored. I haven't posted in a while because I haven't really felt that passionately about anything. Or had anything interesting happen that doesn't have to do with sports, work, or the wedding. So, in true 13-year old chain letter fashion, I'll just post some random facts about myself. I'm sure everyone wants to read that.

1. I drink my coffee in the morning with lots of sugar, milk, and if I'm really lucky I can find some fat-free whipped cream somewhere in the house.
2. I have one tatoo, at the top of my spine. Fairly large. I want to get another one (tiny) on the inside of my wrist but my fiance' says it will make me look like trailer-park trash.
3. Most people from the South can't pick up on my Southern accent...they think I'm a Yankee. Most people from the North think I'm a redneck. How does that happen?
4. I really, really wanted to elope. But I figured out early that if I can't (J doesn't want to, my mom doesn't want me to) then I will throw one hell of a party and at least have fun.
5. Before I met J, I was convinced I never wanted to get married. That it was just a "piece of paper".
6. I had the same cat for over 15 years. She used to walk me to the bus stop every morning and sit with me. Then she would sit at the corner while the bus turned around, and only when we were safely on our way would she turn to walk home.
7. I thought that I would go to school and move to New York to direct stage plays. I directed a play at my high school.
8. I love New York City. Love it, love it, love it. I visit about every 18 months and am totally comfortable getting around. But I hate the Yankees and I'm a Bo'Sox fan.
9. I have always been a reader. I need to occupy my mind no matter what I'm doing. Cereal boxes during breakfast when I was younger, shampoo bottles now while I'm waiting for my deep-conditioner to set. Fashion mags, newspapers, trashy chick-lit novels, historical non-fiction, I'll read almost anything (except crap like Danielle Steele).
10. I really hate sleeping naked (I think my boobs are too big) but am totally comfortable in jeans with no underwear.
11. I'm very flexible because of years of performing arts. I weigh close to 200 lbs, but if I stretch, I can still do a split.
12. The ugliest part of my body is my feet. I love being barefoot.
13. J and I already have names picked out for our children. (Although that is still a few years off in our master plan.)
14. I love dancing and ice-skating competitions, and I'm a sucker for reality-tv, but I haven't even thought about watching "Dancing with the Stars" or "Skating with Celebrities". No reason, just haven't cared to watch them.
15. One of my favorite immature pasttimes is to take out some pens and markers and re-work models in fashion mags. Give them goth make-up, tatoos, blacked-out teeth, whatever I feel like. It's about the extent of my visual art talent.
16. I'm a natural born flirter. I rarely take myself seriously, and very much enjoy cat and mouse, tongue in cheek conversations.
17. I don't wash my hair every day. I can't really...I'd run out of shampoo after a week and my hair would be frizzy and dry. I've been growing it "for my wedding" for over two years now, although I've decided to wear it up. Go figure.
18. I'm very frank, abrupt, and open with salespeople. Especially when it comes to wedding dress shopping. I think it puts them off and they think I'm rude.
19. I'm a gossip. I hate being one, but just can't stop myself sometimes.
20. I'm OCD about things matching. Numbers, etc...I can't set my alarm clock for a normal time (it's usuall 7:47 or 8:21) but I still somehow feel that I can't end this little fact sheet on any number but 20.
