THE LIST

The man my friends have named "NICE"- like the girls in Sex and the City call "Big" Big - Was kind enough to send along a list I wrote for a 50 things site. Reading them again now I see they are true still. So thanks to *Nice* you get to see some things about me.


1)I am tactile by nature.

2)I have an irrational fear of the state of California. I am convinced everytime I set foot there, there will be a simultaneous earthquake/mudslide/wildfire, then California will split off from the rest of the country and sink into the Pacific ocean.
I have no idea where this phobia comes from.

3)If I look before I leap I might not leap at all.

4)I am a Starbucks drone.

5)I frequently skip dinner for a caramel frap.

6)I don't spread gossip, but I will listen to it (especially on the web because I believe in staying informed)

7)I can be a little bit of a culture snob...yet still watch trashy
tv and go to hip-hop or goth clubs. I have no problem with this.

8)I think latin accents are very sexy.

9)I am sensitive to smells.

10)I would do anything for love, but I won't do that.

11)I like games, and always play to win.

12)All it takes to melt my heart is a sharp brain, a sense of humor, and a great smile.

13)I prefer to do things with friends, but will not let myself miss a chance at a new experience even if it means doing it alone

14)I will always sing-a-long to the radio, whether you like it or not. Chances are I will know all the words to whatever song is playing.

15)I continue to purchase groceries although I rarely cook.

16)I have a very good relationship with my inner child. Generally she runs the show while my inner adult takes a nap.

17)I tend to make large life decisions impulsively. I'll consider all the options once the decision is made, but generally go with my gut feelings.

18)I am a terrible speller.

19)I would prefer to know a little about everything than everything about a few things.

20)I used to give sex advice on a late night radio show.

21)I love to play Texas Hold 'Em poker (the same version that they play in Rounders, if you've seen the movie).

22)I am Israeli/Lebanese on my mothers side and French on my fathers.

23)I am at war with myself.

24)I have exceptionally good hearing.

25)My ears are pierced 3 times each.

26)Beautiful music moves me to tears.

27)My favorite flower is the purple iris both for it's look and smell.

28)I like to shoot hoops. Not play basketball, just shoot hoops.

29)When I talk to people from Michigan I get my Michigan accent back.It stays for days.

30)I can't stand girls who are or who play helpless.

31)I love my culinary herb garden.

32)I feel guilty eating my herbs.

33)I won a pageant when i was 16.

34)I was stung by a man o'war.

35)I do not go swimming in the ocean anymore.

36)I never pump my own gas.

37)I write with my right hand and do everything else with my left hand.

38)I have lived in 3 states.

39)I was born with a lot of blonde hair.

40)I was married

41)Now I'm not

42)I think of everything as a story to be written or a song to be sung

43)I have a sick sense of humor

44)I think someone reading to me is sexy

45)I am not a hopeless romantic. My romantic ideals are too often the victims of cynicism.

46)I try to buy American.

47)I am a product junkie. I have to have everything new that comes out.

48)I was a "gifted" child.

49)I have a hard time finishing what I start.

50)This was supposed to be a 100 item list


There ya go. Now you know some stuff.

FUN FOR ME

Well I'm back from the great white north. I expected there to be fall color, but the trees all fell down in some freak snowstorm that dumped 2 feet of snow on Buffalo last week. It was surreal looking. A lot of things were closed and many people were still w/o power.

I'm really glad to be back in sunny warm Vegas! I didn't realize what a desert rat I've become. I really like it here.

I thought you might like to know some things I did for my birthday...

Went out for lobster
Went to Niagra Falls
Watched the movie Saw and the original Star Wars for the first time-
I found out I'm not much of a geek
Visited a herd of alpacas up close and personal
Didn't go to a cider mill
Watched Kenny Rogers (the gambler) win a World Series game
Drank Tim Horton's coffee
Had a romantic dinner made for me
Went for drinks with a celebrity


I'm sure I left a lot out ...it was very nice.
