25 Things- So y'all can stop tagging me!

Once you've read though this, you're supposed to leave a message below for me with 25 things about yourself.

1. I have a serious coffee addiction. I get the shakes if I go a couple of hours (except when I'm sleeping) without coffee.

2. One of the nicest things someone once said to me was that whenever they smelled coffee and perfume, they thought of me. It's nice to be associated with good smells. =D

3. I have 7 piercings. All in my ears, although I only wear earrings in the bottom holes. Impractical to wear them in the other holes because headphones and earrings don't always jive. Two words- "snag" and "ouch."

4. I've had the worst earache for about 3 weeks. I don't have time, seriously don't have time to get to the Dr. during the day. I need to carve out some time this week. I'm tired of being tired and not able to sleep because of the pain.

5. I used to have a dirt collection. Really. I collected dirt in baby food jars from all the states I'd visit.

6. I wish I could be 22 all over again. 22 was a great age for me.

7. I snore. Loudly. Or so I'm told.

8. I've got NO attention span. I have to be doing a million things all at once and be all hyped up to feel calm and be able to pay attention to each thing I'm doing.

9. The Notebook gets me every time. Whenever I need a really good cry, I pop in The Notebook.

10. If I ever have kids, I'll name my daughter Abbey. Just Abbey. And my son either Jacob or Caleb. I'm leaning more toward Jacob. Jake Taylor....that was one of the character names in the movie Major League. Hmmmm. Kinda like the sound of it.

11. When I watch TV, I almost always have my laptop with me. I like to do online research of the shows I'm watching and learn about the actors and such. Total dork, I know.

12. I'm the oldest of 7. Three of my siblings are young enough to be mine.

13. I haven't had any contact with my real dad in 20 years. Sometimes I think about him, but mostly I don't.

14. I was born in Washington State, but moved to NY when I was 8 and lived there until I turned 21. When I was 21, I moved to Vermont and lived there for several years. Vermont is where my soul is. I want to be buried there.

15. I can't stand when people chew loudly with their mouth open. It's worse than nails on a chalkboard. Manners, people!

16. I get really into some of the books I read. I get emotionally connected with the characters and often laugh and cry while reading.

17. If I weren't in radio, I'd be a college professor.

18. The first (and last) time I went skiing, my friend took me to the triple black diamond trail. Once I got going and realized what kind of trail I was on, I stopped and plopped down in the snow refusing to go any further. They had to send snowmobiles to get me.

19. I wish I could dance. When I tell people I can't dance they try to convince me I can, but I can't. I'm worse than Elaine...

20. On the inside I'm a rebel and reckless. On the outside, I'm mature and responsible.

21. I haven't been on an honest to God vacation since I was a kid. Every year we talk about going on vacation. Never happens.

22. I loooooooove pictures. I love taking them, staring at them, posting them and organizing them.

23. I wish EVERY single day that I could be taller. If only by a few inches. "I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller I wish had a rabbit in a hat with a batand a '64 Impala....." Remember that song? 1995...Skee-Lo.....check out the vid here.

24. On Friday night, I was this close to going to a tattoo shop and getting my nose pierced. Then reality set in. See what happens when you hang out with the girls? They're bad influences. =D

25. I've stopped biting my nails!!!! Now I kick filing cabinets when I get mad.
