Something To Remove the Taint...
...of yesterday's post. But because finals has left me still scrambling for anything interesting (unless you want to hear my thoughts on maritime law or how all law students are A-HOLES), here's a me!me! from Laurie, since she tagged the whole world.
TEN random things you might not know about me.
1: I am the worst know-it-all EVER. Except maybe all my friends.
2: Sometimes, in the quest to know it all, I might make stuff up.
3: I got kicked out of Model UN in high school.
4: I (gasp!) really enjoy country music.
5: I'm a serious feminist.
6: I'm convinced one arm is fatter than the other and often do contrast-and-compares when I'm getting ready to go out.
7: I love spy novels.
8: I would always rather park far away or on the top level in order to avoid fighting for a spot. This is also why I rarely will bid at an eBay auction -- I only use the Buy It Now feature.
9: I feel naked without earrings, but this is a new development. I didn't wear them for years.
10: I have a surprisingly huge noggin.
NINE places I’ve visited.
1: Rio
2: Vancouver and Victoria
3: All but about 6 of the 48 continguous states of this union.
4: Plus Hawaii
5: Ensenada
6: London
7: Bits of Scotland
8: Cancun
9: And I've lived in DC, SF, LA, NY, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Redding, CA, and Kirksville, MO.
EIGHT ways to win my heart
1: Touch me (really, it's been so long, that might be all it takes).
2: Cook me stuff.
3: Scratch my back (this is a female family weakness. My poor dad is hit up hourly when my sister, mom and I are all around).
4: Hold my hand.
5: Listen.
6: Make me a mix CD with lots of amiguously meaningful songs I can spend like 80 hours deciphering the meaning of.
7: Get me REAL drunk.
8: Be governed by a strong code of ethics.
SEVEN things I want to do before I die
1: Get my law degree.
2: Pump our a couple munchkins.
3: Get married. Oops, probably #2 before #3.
4: Travel lots.
5: Own a home.
6: Make an (good) impact in my community.
7: Sleep with a professor.
SIX things I’m afraid of
1: Debt.
2: The day I wear sweaters with Christmas applique non-ironically.
3: Anger.
4: Finding out I'm really of only average intelligence and it's all been a fluke so far.
5: Oh, the Briget Jones fear of dying alone, eaten by wild dogs.
6: Being found out as the nerd I was in junior high and in fact always have been.
FIVE things I don't like
1: Anything low-fat or non-fat.
2: People with an ill-founded sense of entitlement.
3: Cheaters.
4: Left-lane drivers.
5: Polyester.
FOUR ways to turn me off
1: Be mean to my friends.
2: Don't call when you say you will.
3: Have no aspirations or ideas about what you'd like from life.
4: Have a tongue ring (even though I used to have one myself).
THREE Things I do everyday
1: Take a bath.
2: Hit snooze 8 kajillion times until I finally convince myself to get out of bed. Not due to depression but because I REALLY love to sleep.
3: Fantasize about what my first post-school purchases will be.
TWO things that make me happy
1: Knowing I made someone feel better.
2: Talking out my ass and not getting caught doing it.
ONE thing on my mind right now
1: Finals. Egads.
And now? I tag the rest of you!

dude. everytime you do one of these i seriously think we were separated at birth. either that or i am supposed to be your and penny's older sister but (y)our parents weren't ready for kids yet so they gave me away. i was going to make a list for you of all the items we feel exactly the same on but then my entry into your comments area would be nearly the same length as your post. specifically i will just mention the "buy it now" thing. i too consider ebay "a store" rather than "an auction site." :) scratch my back. oh my god, what i wouldn't give for a back scratch RIGHT NOW. i could go on and on.... glad you do have a FEW other things on your mind, other than the butt zit that is. hee hee.... NOW GET BACK TO STUDYING!!! p.s. i snoozed for an hour this morning. :)

I'm also big on parking far away, but I take great pleasure in winning eBay auctions. I bid only in the last 10 seconds, and steal the stuff out from under people who have been bidding in tiny increments all day. Very satisfying.

Ooooh! I also hate it when people say they'll call but don't. That's why I no longer talk to a lot of people from college.
Omg, it's way too early this morning. I'll be more coherent later.

I do the same as DDJ -- snipe at the last minute baby!! I keep trying to foist this on you (from one know-it-all to another.) But alas. To each their own ebay.

#7 of 7 things to do before you die- jennifer! candidates abound! particularly one... but if you end up settling down with a professor, it will be difficult for me to socialize with the two of you as a couple, for fear of being called on or something. it would be very Grey's Anatomy-esque.

Do you plan to sleep with the professor before or after getting married?
