About Me

Ok, so I started a running list of random things about me and, lo and behold, people actually read it. And I thought I was the only one with nothing better to do. :-) To keep my page fit and trim, I'm moving excess list items up to the Blog section (neatly labeled, of course...) so that I can add new stuff on the main page. And thus, the list continues...
296. I work with someone who clips their fingernails at their desk. That's weird. Isn't it?
297. Do guys need to care what their underwear looks like, or just make sure it's clean?
298. Does anyone else find themselves humming the old Thomas's English Muffins theme? I mean, they are the original, one-and-only, funny-lookin, tasty-cookin Thomas's English Muffin.
299. I have a super-power: finding cafeteria/restaurant tables that rock. It's quite remarkable. And unbelievably frustrating.
300. Lollipops. Yeah, I've never "finished" one, 'cause I can't help but bite 'em.
301. How can people leave toothpaste in the sink? I mean, how much effort is it to rinse it down the drain?
302. The first cd I ever bought was Slaughter's "Stick It To Ya". I'm not ashamed.
303. Ever since reading this article (http://www.kgw.com/news-local/stories/kgw_050607_news_spide r_earache.3faa8ff4.html), I get nervous whenever I hear a crinkle in my ear. Seriously, that's as creepy as it gets.
304. My newest favorite term: ass-antlers. It's a slightly less judgmental way to say "tramp stamp".
305. I am becoming...so many things.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

OK, I like people...and I'm always open to meeting new ones. Provided, of course, they're not -- how do you say? -- douche-bags. :o) (That's a very popular word nowadays, and I'm totally ok with that.) People who can quote movie and/or song lyrics are fantastic; it's my main form of communication. People who like dogs...or even cats...are neat-o, as well; I've got 2 spoiled dogs, myself. People who are willing to admit that watching America's Funniest Videos is tremendous entertainment...well, you're A-OK in my book! So please feel free to stop and rest a spell here on my page. Watch a video or 2. Read some goofy lists. Browse through my exquisite collection of friends. Make yourself at home!

Currently, I'm a bit obsessed with people who dance well. I don't, so it just amazes me when people can move so smoothly and with such rhythm. They make it look so easy...and yet, I've tried, and it ALWAYS turns me into a sweaty mess. An uncoordinated sweaty mess, at that. Oh well. Here are a couple of my favorite dance clips. Giddyup.

Here's another classic, from the Utah Saints. Great song, and my rhythmless ass would LOVE to be able to do the running-man dance like this guy! And is there anything more appealing than synchronized dancers? I don't think so.
