Well, I think below pretty much sums me up...RANDOM:)
1) I don't like the dark or more to the point I'm afraid of it. It's not about the lack of light at all but more to do with the unknown. Also, I may have watched too many scary movies growing up and mom would hide and jump out of random places when I was younger...so yeah that pretty much explains that fear. Thanks mom.
2) I love cottage cheese. I don't mean oh that would make a nice snack sometime this week. I mean I crave it and could eat it every single day. When I was little I hated it and really never gave it another thought until I moved here. It's like I turned 25 and started craving things that I didn't think I would until much much later in life. Oh come on you know those snacks that are stereotypically set aside for the more mature...fig newtons, prunes, etc. Well, I love it all but particularly cottage cheese...large curd, 4% milk fat goodness!
3) I love earthy smells - a lawn freshly mowed, mulch, moss, basically anything that would make a person with allergies' head explode. My coworkers at Michaels get a kick out of me standing in the floral section opening the boxes of spanish moss with a big grin on my face.
4) When I go for walks and no one is looking, I try and whistle to the birds as if they can understand me. When they stop and look, it only fuels my ridiculous notions!
5) I have had more than seven pairs of glasses in the last 15 years...and it's not because my eyesight is changing:(
6) I'm kind of obsessed with the martial arts. No matter how bad the story is, if someone is involved in some sort of combat on film, I'm usually glued.
7) I am the definition of a foodie. Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Cajun, Thai, African, Indian - it does not matter. I will try ANYTHING once. (Always excepting dinner invites, please and thank you.)
8) I wasn't the kid who practiced her oscar speech in the mirror with a hairbrush (although I do have one of those prepared;). I was the kid who sat on the couch and had pretend interviews about my work with Barbara, Whoopi, Sherri, and Elizabeth. Oprah on special occasions.
9) My first and last involvement in the crime world took place on the kids aisle of what I think was a dollar store. I left the store with a small clump of play-dough nestled within my balled up fist. We got in the car, mom saw it, and well let's just say that a life of crime was not in the cards for me. I thought for sure I was going to jail. Can a three year old get arrested?
10) I have never had any sort of surgery and never had stitches. Knocking on wood as I type.
11) The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie. Now for those of you who know me, the fact that the previous statement is not in a size 40 font, bold, and italicized with pretty doodles of Nala and Simba running off of the page is a major testament to my self-control!!!
12) I have watched every episode of What's My Line. If you're scratching your head because you've never heard of the show, 1. Shame on you and 2. Make your way to YouTube immediately! When you get there and notice that your screen is in black and white, PLEASE whatever you do, do not adjust your computer screens. (It's so embarrassing when my generation does that.)
13) I think Shark Tank is pure fun.
14) I want to be Olivia Pope's half sister. Half, only because it was stated on the season premiere that she was an only child. So you see Olivia THINKS she's an only child. Come on Shonda Rhimes if anyone can write that story, you can!!!!!
15) Michael Jordan winked at me. Well, I wouldn't necessarily swear to that in a court of law but my cousins and I went to see him when he was playing with the Washington Wizards at the MCI center. At the end of the game before he exited the arena, a large group of rambunctious crazy young people ran to the side where we knew he was going to exit. He looked up, smiled, waved, and tossed an adorable little wink in my direction! My cousin also likes to claim the wink but MJ and I know the truth.
16) I have two half brothers one of which I've never met.
17) In my next show, I will be playing a reporter who sings, dances, and just happens to be a pig. (Questions or concerns, message me:)
18) I've always wanted identical twin boys. But I've never wanted to dress them alike. Complimentary colors, patterns, fabrics, etc. but never alike. I may or may not have thought about this in great detail.
19) I have had two bikes stolen since living in the city of Chicago. I've seen the first one on more than one occasion in my neighborhood. I know I know my bike wasn't the only one of its kind created but it doesn't make me wonder any less.
20) My favorite place in the world to sing is and always will be in church.
