Things you probably already knew...or maybe not.

I saw this on a co-worker's site and couldn't resist!

[What is your secret, guaranteed weeping movie?] I'm good at sniffling my way through lots of movies, but probably the one I cried the most through was The Story of Us. It may have had something to do with the fact that I had recently broken up with my boyfriend the first time I saw it, but it still makes me teary eyed anyway. Also, Steel Magnolias & Stepmom and pretty much anything with a wedding or a baby being born or someone dying.


[If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done?] Boob job? Not really...I don't know. I guess liposuction, maybe. But if I had enough money for that, shouldn't I have enough money to do something less invasive, like join a gym (speaking of which, I did do that...I'm starting on Monday.)


[Do you have a completely irrational fear?] Yes, doesn't everyone? I'm afraid of falling down the stairs. Probably because I've done it so many times, but I'm afraid of falling and seriously hurting myself. I also used to be afraid of twisty slides (all it takes is one bad experience), but that one doesn't seem to bother me anymore.


[What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moments?] I start to blush and can't come up with anything intelligent to say.


[Are you a pyromaniac?] No, I do love my candles though.


[Do you have too many love interests?] Just the one.


[Do you know anyone famous?] Not really...well locally, I guess. I do know somone who is related to someone really famous though, does that count?


[Who would play you in a movie?] I have no idea.


[Do you know how to play poker?] I can play okay. I'm not great though.


[What do you carry with you at all times?] Cell phone, chapstick, and lotion.

[Are you happy with your given name?] I used to not be, but now I don't think it is so bad.


[How much money would it take to get you to give up the Internet for one year?] It's already been about 8 months, and I'm doing okay, so I guess it wouldn't take much. If you mean give it up everywhere, including work then it might take a little more.


[What color is your bedroom?] White walls, wood trim. Nothing spectacular. I did just buy a new comforter set that is beige, muted burgundy, sage, and kind of a rust color. That doesn't sound like it looks very good, but I liked it.


[What was the last song you were listening to?] Whatever was on the radio.


[Have you ever been in love?] A couple of times. This time it's forever though.

[Do you have any tattoos?] Yes, one of a ladybug on my right ankle.


[Do you drive a stick?] No, but I would like to learn...just in case.


[What's one trait you hate in a person?] Negativity.


[Do you consider yourself materialistic?] I can be, but most of the time I can't afford it.


[What do you cook the best?] I love my enchiladas. I'm actually a much better cook than I thought I would ever be.


[Favorite writing instrument?] Since I'm no longer in school, mostly ink pens. Medium ball point ones.


[Do you prefer to stand out or blend in?] Mostly, blend in, I think. Maybe not so much anymore.


[Would you ever go out dressed like the opposite sex?] Yes, but only because guy's clothes are so much more comfortable.


[What's one car you will never buy?] It used to be a minivan, but the older I get the better they are starting to look.


[What kind of books do you like to read?] Anything with a pretty cover. Mostly general fiction with a a few romances and mysteries here and there.


[If you won the lottery, what would you do?] Pay off my bills. Travel. Shop. Buy a house. Go back to school. Give money to my family and friends.

[Do you have problems changing clothes in front of friends?] Not really.


[Favorite type of music?] I don't really have one. I really just a radio hopper. I'm also really bad about playing the same CD for weeks on end in my car.


[What is the sexiest thing the opposite sex can wear that catches your eye?] Nice clothes in general. No ratty t-shirts or comfy clothes. Something that looks like you took a second with your appearance before you walked out the door.


[Are you a workaholic?] I don't think so.


[What are your kids names?] Jarrett Thane for a boy and Lauren Elizabeth for a girl.
