About Me

Twenty random questions to get to know me better.

1. If you did not need the money what would you do for work?
        
I would write.

2. If you had an extra room in your house what would you use it for?
        
It has always been my dream to have a library, either that or maybe have a room with a swimming pool so I could swim year round in the comfort of my own home.

3.What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?
         
When I was younger, I was obsessed with swimming and being in the water and my favorite animal was a dolphin so the job I wanted to have was to be a dolphin trainer at Sea World. I think the movie Free Willy might have had something to do with it was well.

4. What TV show are you embarrassed about watching?

Not so much a TV show as  a TV station. I am obsessed with Syfy I love Haven, Merlin, and Being Human.

5.  What song was unique to your family growing up?

My dad is a Harley Davidson enthusiast so we would sing this song by Arlo Guthrie

" I don't want no nickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a pickle
I just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die. No!
I just want to ride on my motorcycle

It was late last night the other day 
I thought I'd go up and see Ray
So I went up and I saw Ray
There was only one thing Ray could say, was

I don't want no nickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a pickle
I just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die. No!
I just want to ride on my motorcycle

Late last week I was on my bike
I run into a friend named Mike
run into my friend named Mike
Mike no longer has a bike, he cries

I don't want no nickle
Just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want a pickle
I just want to ride on my motorcycle
And I don't want to die. No!
I just want to ride on my motorcycle"

My dad changed the words some, but the original is basically the same. Actually until today, I thought he made the song up. 

6. What part of pop culture do you wish would just go away?

I find it so annoying how obsessed with celebrities people are. I hate hearing about them all the time. I don't care what Leonardo DiCaprio had for lunch or who Justin Bieber is dating.  They are not that interesting.
 7. What color underwear are you wearing? 

At the time of writing this post, they are turquoise, but seeing as I change them daily that is subject to change.

8. What poem do you have committed to memory?

I used to have Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven memorized but I can only recite the first couple of lines now. I can still recite the prologue for Romeo and Juliet as well as the famous balcony scene.

9. Do you want a big family or a small one?

I want two or three kids with at least one of them being adopted.
10. What candy reminds you most of your youth?

War Heads. In the summer my friends and I would ride our bikes to the video store and rent movies and buy War Heads. We would have contests to see who could eat the most at a time.
11. If you could have lunch with anyone living or dead, who would it be?

James Dean
12. What is your favorite National Park?

Haleakala National Park in Hawai'i on Maui. My family and I went there on vacation in February. The park is beautiful... well the whole island is amazing. I'm still trying to figure out how I could find a way to live on Maui
13. How many pairs of shoes do you own? How many is too many?

I own roughly 15  pairs. It is just an estimation because I don't want to get up and go count. I don't think there is such a thing as too many shoes.
14. What is your favorite shirt?

It is a shirt that I got at The Chainsaw Sister Saloon in Ely Minnesota when I was 12. I still have it and I wear it all the time.
15. What was the last law you broke?

I am a night owl, so when I was bored last night I took a walk to the local park even though it closes at 10pm. ( I was there at 2am)
16. What would be the very first thing you would do with the money, if you won the lottery?

I would call a financial planner because apparently people who win the lottery are more likely to become completely broke. Then I would pay off my college loans.

17. Did you ever work at an on campus job? What was it?

I worked at the tellefund. We would call alumnae and ask for donations. It was horrible. (the people I worked with were great, but it was totally not for me)

Chocolate cake
19. What is your favorite movie?

Cry Wolf

20. If you could be any animal, what would it be?
