100 things... (Unpublished 07/2008)

UNPUBLISHED! I planned to post this in June 2008.

100 things...you may or may not know about me:

1. I like to color-code things, although less than I used to.


2. I like binder clips.


3. I used to hate to read, but now I enjoy it equally with watching television.


4. My favorite dead actor/actress are Steve McQueen and Gene Tierney.


5. I like to organize drawers.


6. My favorite living actor/actress are Scarlet Johannsen.


7. I used to want to be an Event Planner.


8. My favorite Bollywood actor/actress are Hrithik Roshan and Rani Mujherkee.


9. My favorite holiday is Halloween.


10. A life goal of mine is to write a book. I'm working on it, slowly.


11. I love to travel and wish I could do it professionally, or at least more than I do now.


12. My favorite bands are Oingo Boingo and Rush.


13. My favorite season is the fall.


14. My top five favorite movies of all time are: Marnie, Pride and Prejudice, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Dumb and Dumber, and Random Harvest.


15. I love to wear long-sleeved shirts, especially ones with really long sleeves that go down past my hands. It's a nervous habit to hold onto the end of the sleeves.


16. My favorite color is blue.


17. The friend I've had the longest is Heather; we share a brain, and it's sometimes scary.


18. My favorite thing about being an Administrative Assistant is organizing my boss' calendars. I know, I'm sick.


19. Some of my favorite albums ever include: R.E.M. - Out of Time, U2 - Zooropa, Rush - Presto, and Oingo Boingo - Nothing to Fear


20. My favorite big-brand store is Target.


21. I used to be a night person. Now I think I'm more of a morning person. But sometimes I am a night and morning person at the same time ... and then I get really tired.


22. Some places I would love to visit include: New Zealand, India, Amsterdam, and Washington, DC.


23. I don't like Dave Matthews Band. I'm sorry! I really try, and I know they have a lot of fans!


24. I hate to answer the telephone, and I attribute this to 5+ years of being a receptionist during my professional career.


25. I'm not big on knick-knacks, except during holidays and then bring it on!


26. I am however obsessed with things (bowls, containers, plates, vases) made of thick metal, thick glass, thick colored glass (love it), and wood.


27. Actually, I'm obsessed with containers in general. I love them, and have spares on hand to use to store spices, cooking supplies, crafts, etc.


28. I would like to try sky diving. I think I might chicken before the actual jump. I'm more afraid of the landing than of falling from the sky. I've heard of too many people breaking bones on re-entry.


29. I've never had a broken bone. (I'm knocking on so many pieces of wood right now!)


30. I have tons of storage bins, big and small! My cupboards and closets are full of bins that are full of stuff. I use them everywhere to keep organized!


31. I love taking pictures.


32. I don't tan. I'm not saying that I don't doing it. I'm saying I have tried it, but my skin rejects the idea! I burn, peel, freckle, and fade. End of story.


33. I am more of a cat person than a dog person. I like pets that sleep 18-hours a day.


34. I love to cook, and wish I had more time to practice, or to take a class.


35. My favorite restaurants are El Farol's, Mimi's Cafe, Cowboy Grub, and a new favorite ... Ganesh.


36. I love to bake treats and take to neighbors as a surprise. It's fun!


37. I am awesome at playing Dr. Mario!!!


38. My favorite movie I've seen this year is Iron Man.


39. I am obsessed with Odwalla's! I love the protein ones, but the pressed carrot juice is fabulous, too! Yum!


40. I like to play card games.


41. I like having BFF's that range from 1-100. It's amazing that when we're young we limit our friends to 2 years younger/older than ourselves.


42. I like things that are fuzzy, velvety, or feathery.


43. I have been to the Spiral Jetty 4 times.


44. I'm not a fan of pink, although I like brown and pink together.


45. I learned how to swim twice. I learned once and ... seriously ... fear of the water caused me to forget how to swim! So, I started again. I am not afraid of the water and still know how to swim.


46. I don't feet comfortable wearing pastels.


47. I don't decorate in brights or pastels. I like warm tones, and our baby blue bathroom is a real stretch for me. But, I do like it.


48. I like Orbit gum.


49. I walked past Michael Keaton at the SLC airport. He was sitting down less that two feet from me. I could have patted him on the head. (Wouldn't that have been a story!) That's the closest brush with "celebrity" that I've ever had.


50. Doing 50 of these isn't too bad, but 100 is HARD.
