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.

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.
