OKAY FINE!!! Here are my 25 things about me!! Now everyone stop telling me to do it...


1. I’m a pop-culture garbage can. I remember quotes from movies I saw once five years ago. Sometimes things are so ingrained in my consciousness I don’t even realize I’m quoting a movie or book or what have you.
2. I read and read and read. I’m a huge believer that reading makes you smarter. Doesn’t matter what you read.
3. When people ask me what I do for a living I always feel like it is so pompous to say “I’m a marketing consultant”. The problem is I also feel like it is pompous to say “I’m a writer” or “I’m an event planner”. Though recently I've been able to say "I'm unemployed", which is not pompous at all.
4. I’m still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up.
5. I ask little kids what they want to be when they grow up, looking for inspiration.
6. I think a lot of people are a lot more racist than they think they are, and its incredibly sad.
7. I don’t think I ever believed in Santa Claus, but I wanted to.
8. I believe there is real power behind Voodoo and Astrology.
9. I’ve never been outside the US. I don’t even have a passport, which is depressing since I’m not getting any younger.
10. I have, however, been to D.C. on more than one occasion, which is a lot like visiting another planet.
11. I strongly believe that life offers us two great gifts: time, and the ability to choose how we spend it.
12. I strongly believe EVERYONE has the power to choose how to lead their own life.
13. Nobody ever seems to believe me when I tell them I don’t really watch TV. It’s true.
14. I do watch a ton of DVDs though.
15. Two years ago I lost 35 lbs and have kept it off.
16. I’m 34 years old and I’m in the best shape of my life. And I don’t even own a Bowflex.
17. I work out almost every day.
18. I don’t like onions.
19. I love tomatoes.
20. It took me forever to come out of the closet, but today I have a healthy, open love for all things geeky.
21. I LOATHE talking on the phone. I’m not sure why, I like to talk to people. I’d seriously rather text or email than talk on the phone though.
22. I think the most important lesson I’ve learned in my life is to pick my battles.
23. I’ve definitely mellowed with age.
24. All I really want to do is have fun and laugh. Life is wayyyyy too short.
25. I can drink a 12 pack of beer by myself. Without falling down. Seriously.
26. I’m a huge smartass, and I don’t like doing as I’m told. Which is why there are 26 items on my list.
