    Haha, these are great! I just have to join in. Let's see here, pretty sure I have a couple :)

    1) Anything to do with vampires is instantaneous snooze material for me.
    2) I talked to a patient while working in the ER without realizing they were dead.
    3) I am obsessed with cats and will stop everything whenever I see one. I usually tell people that "It's my cat's house, we just live here."
    4) I'm very interested in perfume from all over the world, and enjoy researching them in depth and trying them out.
    5) I once talked to David Lynch (the film director) on the phone. He was incredibly sweet. We talked about a dream I had.

    1) I once lived in a cave and also a hollowed out old school bus (with a skunk under the wheel well, believe it or not)
    2) I am the queen of stupid human tricks - I can lick my own nose, cross/wiggle each eye independently of the other, turn my pinky 180 degrees so the nail is facing my palm, bend my thumb to my forearm, burp the alphabet, and so much more (very impressive to my 9 year old son)
    3) I have been this tall (5'10") since before I was 12 years old. My height is ALL in my legs - my sister and I have the same length torso but, thanks to my freaky long legs, I am 8" taller than she is.
    4) I have freckles on my eyelids and my lips (pretty much everywhere, really)
    5) I am highly allergic to artichokes (how random is that?!?!)

    1. I can not stand peanut butter and chocolate together. Just the thought of a Reese's cup makes me want to vomit.
    2. I work for a beer distributor, and it's pretty much the coolest/best job I could've ever hoped to have.
    3. I'm obsessed with musical theater. Anything musical theater, I love it. I even went to college for it and performed year round for years...until I learned I would probably never make a living doing it.
    4. I can tap dance!
    5. I love penguins. I just love them. If ever I got to hold a little penguin, I would freak out and cry like Kristen Bell did when she learned she was gonna get to hang out with a sloth for her birthday (if you don't know what I'm talking about, youtube it, it's priceless).

    CUTEST video clip EVER! I just love her!!

    Here are mine:
    1. When I was in the third grade I fell off a tower at my elementary school and bit a huge hole in my tongue. I had to get stitches...it was horrible!
    2. I've never dyed my hair...its about the only part of me that is still considered "virgin"...LOL
    3. When I'm eating Doritos (or any other seasoned chip) I look at both sides and always put the more seasoned side facing down so it hits my tongue when I put it in my mouth. My sister does the same thing. We're weird like that!
    4. I have a HUGE family...my 97 year old grandmother (still going strong) had 9 children who in turn gave her 30 grandchildren, 56 great-grands, and so far 36 great-great-grands! This is all on my dads side. We call her "Queen Bee" and she's the BEST!
    5. I'm about as low maintenance as you can get...I don't go to a salon to get my hair done (the hubs just trims it for me), I've had one pedicure in my life (the day before my wedding), and I take about 30-40 minutes from start to finish to get ready. I also hate shopping, hardly ever buy shoes, and am not a big fan of getting fancy jewelry or fresh roses. I'd rather spend that money on a night out with the hubs or fam.

    Fun!

    1) I have 2 tattoos and have plans for the third. Everyone in my immediate family (mom, dad, brother) has 3, so I'm behind :)
    2) I have finger-toes... they're really long and have great dexterity.
    3) I didn't have a furry pet until I was 18. I had a lizard, a turtle, and a whole slew of fish. My hubby and I plan to get 2 dogs, and we know their breeds and names already.
    4) I'm a townie by choice. I live in the town I grew up in, married a guy I had a crush on in high school, and we're the resident caretakers of the town's oldest home. But I still threaten to move to Colorado.
    5) I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I studied PR but work in marketing and left another marketing job to work in a bakery (wanted to open my own). Still might pursue baking/food though not in a retail location, but I also want to do yoga teacher training, learn more about nutrition, and want to study sustainability (was looking at Masters' programs the other day). Really, I can't wait to have kids.

    1. Both of my pinky fingers curve inward slightly. Everyone thinks they've been broken but I was just born that way. Inherited from my father's side.
    2. I really hate my job (home daycare)--I just like being able to stay home.
    3. I can eat A LOT of food in one sitting. More that the average female thinks of as "a lot" and more than my husband.
    4. I am REALLY bad at managing money....I don't even have a credit card in my name.Oops...
    5. My husband owns his own concrete contracting business and I have a huge building and about 12 huge trucks literally in my back yard.

    1) Have a soft spot for animals, my ultimate dream is to start an animal rescue focusing on older animals that nobody wants anymore :(
    2) People think my husband and I got married by a JOP because I was pregnant and we didn't want to wait until after his deployment.... truthfully, i have never wanted a "wedding"...spending all that money on one day is the most ridiculous thing to me.
    3) I absolutely adore my job even though, after 4 years, i am not quite sure what my job description is. They call me Girl Friday because I sort of just float between all of the departments helping out... i LOVE it, i am never bored here.
    4) Met my husband when my roommate at the time tried to pick him up at a bar... he wants interested and instead slipped me his number. We have been together since!
    5) I HATE dancing... nothing about it is fun to me, probably because i have zero rhythm :)
