100 Things About Me (1-25)

1. I was born in Miami, FL and have lived here my entire life, with the exception of the 4 years I spent in Tallahassee for college.

2. My favorite colors are purple, indigo and black.

3. "I love the bread aisle because it smells like bread" - I actually said that once. True story.

4. I have a younger sister who everyone thinks is the older sister.

5. I love my cat as if he were my child. Some people get it, some people think I'm nuts.

6. I must smell a cup before I use it for drinking. If I'm at someone else's house I still try and do it discretely. Its just a weird thing I do.

7. I have always been fascinated by the idea of vampires. I have been a vampire for halloween about 10 times, at least. This whole Twilight phenomenon has really intensified it for me lately.

8. I have a few places that absolutely can NOT be touched on my body or I will gag. Those who know me well know where these places are and they know better then to try and touch them!

9. I absolutely love the band Rush. Always have since I was about 3. And Styx, too. Thanks Mom :)

10. I'm a total Mac (Apple) fanboy (girl?). I am obsessed with all things Mac, and I especially love their white polycarbonate items, like my brand new 3G iPhone. If I could design my whole house around Mac products I would. I'm that obsessed.

11. I'm a total beer girl. I don't care so much for wine or liquor. Give me some good beer, good friends and some good tunes and I'm set for the night.

12. I can't imagine my life without music in it. Music is everything. I always have music on or am learning about new music or making music or something, as long as it has to do with music.

13. I have always dreamed of being an archeologist or paleontologist. There is something about dinosaurs that just absolutely fascinates me. My favorite dino is the pterodactyl.

14. I have never been out of the country. Unless you count that weekend trip to Aruba in the 10th grade.

15. I love dancing. I can, have and will dance for hours on end. I took ballet, tap and jazz for years as a kid. I can't go out to a place where there's music playing and NOT dance.

16. My most coveted/favorte car is a VW R32 in blue. I'd take a GTI though if I had to.

17. I am a huge geek. I love computers, technology, science and everything related. I spend hours every day on a computer (it's my job) and I am wicked good at researching things on the internet.

18. I tend to find animals more interesting then people.

19. I've lived in Miami most of my life and I don't speak spanish. This is mindboggling to some people but not to me.

20. I have a huge family. You probably have met or know one of my family members.

21. I hate talking on the phone and avoid it if at all possible. I hate the possibility of awkward silences or not having anything to talk about. I can text my ass off though and have been known to have huge phone bills due to texting overages. :)

22. I used to want a motorcycle but not anymore. My father was in a serious motorcycle accident not too long ago and it has really opened up my eyes to how dangerous they can be.

23. I have a thing for robots. Oh, and pirates too.

24. I'm currently in a state of limbo and I don't like it :(

25. I'm new to this whole blogging thing and I'm still trying to get a "feel" for it.

things that don't suck.

i've had this conversation many times myself.



and this makes me giggle.

things that suck.



Just found out Langerado 2009 was cancelled due to "sluggish ticket sales". Then I find out that Modest Mouse (one of my all time favs) had just joined the lineup. Boooooo. Stupid economy.
