I live by this shield.
I love my Wild.. I go to at least a dozen home games a year and try to make it to a couple road games as well.
The Leafs were my team up until 2000 when Minnesota got its own team. Since they never play against each other though I can cheer for both. :-)
I'd like to meet:
Someone who will value me for me and not what I look like.I'd like to meet bunches of people: Natalie Portman (although she'd probably spend more time looking at my bedroom ceiling.. hehe), Ryan Seacrest (ditto), Reese Witherspoon (ditto x100), and several others.
You?
Who I'd NOT like to meet: People who want to get in my pants. I don't have time for you.
The New and Improved 55 List
1. I was conceived on the U.S.S. Forrestal, docked on U.S. Naval Base San Diego -- on a workbench. Don't ask. The parents told me.
2. I'm multilingual -- I love learning new languages. One of the few things I actually "enjoy" studying.
3. I put up my Christmas decorations the second week in November
4. I drink water like it's going out of style. At least 140 fl oz. a day.
5. I have a chihuahua, Barbara.
6. My dad had an unsuccessful run for the Democratic nomination to Congress in Minnesota's Sixth Congressional District in 2006.
7. I MET the lead singer of Maroon 5 and didn't even realize it. I was at a filming of "The Late Show With David Letterman" in New York City and I got lost and somehow ended up in a secure area.. and didn't know where the seats were. There were a bunch of people, so I asked this guy with a lanyard and card around his neck (figured he was security) where the seats were. He told me he didn't know and I asked if he worked there. He said he was performing, actually. I chit chatted with him for about a minute (he asked where I was from, what I was doing in NYC).. I thought he was some nice no-name singer. Then Letterman said Maroon 5 was playing. I was shocked. I was never a big fan before, but now it's sorta cool.
8. I am a big hockey fan.. I love to go to MN wild games at least once or twice a month.
9. I'm one of those Chipotle addicts.
10. My parents are high school sweethearts..

17. My neck is very sensitive..
18. I love to down cosmos.
19. I have a very close-knit relationship with my sister.. but she won't let me see her Myspace because she likes to hide stuff from her brother. Apparently Travis Brittle means more to her. :-P haha
20. I used to play piano at church during service. Yeah.
21. I love driving long distances.
22. My parents are probably two of the most liberal people I know...
23. ...I rebelled.
24. If you ride in the car with me, I guarantee we will make at least one U-turn and it will probably be one that is illegal.
25. I'm on my second vehicle. I just got a metallic orange 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. The color is.. growing on me, I guess.
26. I have a godson, Ethan, who's 5.
27. I've lived on my own since I was 17... never had a roommate.

34. I'm a cuddle whore. It's better than anything.
35. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, but I like Pepsi products better.
36. I used to have a goldfish named Hercules.. he died after 13 months. I think everyone was surprised he lived that long.

43. When I was little, like 3 or 4, I used to spike my hair up.
44. I used to be a cashier at Super Target in Rogers. My boss yelled at me for talking to the customers too much. Nice to be yelled at for being pleasant.
45. I nearly got casted for Jeopardy! College Championship in 2005. I got to go out to Cleveland for a final round of auditions.
46. I volunteer in pediatric dialysis at Fairview and I think I've learned more just from interacting with those kids than doing anything else.
