the abc's of me...

too lazy for a real post right now. i'll do a good one sometime this week.


A is for age:
24 (for another month)

B is for beer of choice:
if it's a choice between beer and, for example, a milkshake, i'd go milkshake. but the beer i prefer is beck's light, i guess

C is for career:
teacher.

D is for favorite Drink:
either diet pepsi or water, preferably evian. oh! no wait, a venti iced nonfat stirred caramel macchiato.

E is for essential item you use everyday:
my computer. or three hole punch. or cell phone, but only because i have no landliine. or my tv. it talks to me when i'm home alone. white board markers?

F is for favorite song at the moment:
"stolen" by dashboard confessional. track number 4 on the new album dusk and summer. "watch you spin around in your highest heels / you are the best one of the best ones / we all look like we feel"

G is for favorite games:
snood is an all-time favorite. and then there's the classic "make your students cry" which never ceases to be fun.

H is for hometown:
Jamestown, IN

I is for instruments you play:
piano, various types of drum and other percussion intruments.

J is for favorite juice?:
apple or grape. depends on the day

K is for kids?:
meaning? do i have any, not yet (thankfully). do i like them, yes, in small numbers. adore my nephews.

L is for last kiss?:
well, a few weeks ago at rock star karaoke, some really drunk lady decided we were best friends and kissed me twice on the cheek. from someone i love? my mom, when i was home in july. from a guy? 23rd birthday, which was almost two years ago for those of you playing along at home. incidentally, that was my first kiss. and it wasn't good. at least i hope that's what a bad kiss is like because if that's what a good kiss is like, i'm not missing anything. we're talking copious amounts of drool.

M is for marriage:
well, i believe in the concept of it, if that's what you mean. am i? no. have i ever been? no. do i want to be? desperately. but only with the right guy (i.e. Mr. Darcy.)

N is for name of your best friend:
which one?

O is for overnight hospital stays:
i dunno? mom, how long did we stay when i was born? cause, that's all i got. unless you count sleeping in the waiting room the night of my college graduation, when my grandma collapsed. but i was only there until about 3am or so, which isn't technically overnight.

P is for phobias:
failure

Q is for quote:
"you are a child of the universe / no less than the trees and the stars / you have a right to be here / and whether or not it is clear to you / no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."

R is for biggest regret:
not asking my grandparents enough questions when they were alive.

S is for self confidence:
what about it? no who should have it has enough, and the people that have enough or too much shouldn't have it. at least that's what i think.

T is for time you wake up:
during the week: 5:00 am (ugh). on the weekends: whenever i decide to stop being lazy and get up. or when my back starts to hurt. i'm getting old. or my bed is getting old. one of the two.

U is for underwear:
again. what about them? i prefer boy briefs (or "manties" as mary and i dubbed them). and i have lots of pairs of them? right now they're pink. well, more fushia. what more do you need to know?

V is for vegetable you love:
zucchini. or romaine lettuce.

W is for worst habit:
procrastinating.

X is for x-rays you've had:
my teeth, for all the braces and retainers and wisdom teeth. my head (x-ray and CAT scan) when i passed out in 10th grade and had a seizure in the middle of the cafeteria and landed on my head on the concrete and had a black eye for six weeks. good times. that might be it.

Y is for yummy food you make:
i make really good veggie fajitas, and anything involving a skillet, some chicken and vegetables and olive oil always turns out well. i'm actually a really good cook. i just don't like to cook for myself. it's boring.

Z is for zodiac sign :
Libra. don't ask me what that says about me. i haven't read a horoscope since 2001 or so.




ps. i'm wearing new socks today--I LOVE NEW SOCK DAYS!!
