JustMe63 posted 50 Things to Know About Me and I figured I would do my own because [A] I'm bored and [B] I'm starved for material.  Whether you read it or not, it amused me for about an hour.  Here's a re-introduction to DJ Groovy Slug.

1. My favorite color is green.  My room in my parents' house is green.  I wear a lot of green.  Green is awesome.

2. If I could be anything, I would be a museum curator.

3. I'll probably end up being a lawyer.

4. I've been told many times by many people that I should be a lawyer.

5. Under most circumstances, I can never feel full unless I've had something sweet at the end of my meal.

6. My handwriting looks exactly like what would happen if you mixed my mom and dad's handwriting (with more of a leaning towards my dad's).

7. I was born in Japan.

8. Now that I've moved out of my parents' house, I've turned into my mother when it comes to cleaning. When I lived at home I was a total slob.

9. I only do laundry when I either run out of clean clothes or places to store my dirty clothes.  So I haven't completely become my mother yet.

10. My favorite TV show is Golden Girls and I'm very sad that Lifetime has cut it significantly from the lineup.

11. My favorite place I've ever lived was Hawaii. 

12. When I lived in Hawaii, we lived in the middle of the pineapple fields.  You could smell pineapple on windy days.

13. I will only work somewhere accesible by public transportation.

12.  I don't like cinammon.

13. I love classical music. 

14. I was kind of a bully during my sophomore year of high school.

15. I hate Katie Couric.

16. I don't know how to do my taxes. 

17. No one in this world knows exactly how much money I make (besides my employers).  I do that on purpose.

18. I wish I had a brother or sister.  Or at least I wish I was closer to my cousins.

19.  I love Macs but I don't hate on PCs.

20. I prefer watching movies in theater than at home on a TV.  I generally always like movies much more if I've seen them in theater.

21. I'm afraid of mimes.

22.  My first crush was in the 4th grade.  He had blonde hair and blue eyes.

23. I'm going to be a bridesmaid this September.

24. I don't mind going into debt if I spent all the money on traveling the world. Otherwise my debt is my biggest shame.

25. I don't care for most movies marketed towards women, stuff like "Must Love Dogs" or "The Notebook."

26. In my head, there is a list of things I just cannot let myself eat, including pizza, cheesesteaks and donuts.  Wings, hamburgers and sundaes are not on this list.  There is no logic in this, but I follow it.

27. I am a military brat and I have a love/hate attitude towards it.

28. I've always wanted to get married in Las Vegas.  I will do it one day.

29. I love the beach. East coast beaches don't count (i.e Jersey, Delaware, MD, NC, SC.  Gross out).

30.  I am double jointed and can bend my elbows backyards like a circus freak.

31. I am really really excited about grad school.

32. I love the way British people talk.  Not the accents, the language itself.  We don't use the exclamation "Brilliant!" enough.  But then, it just doesn't sound as good when we say it.

33. Sometimes I think I stay here because I can't think of anywhere better to live. 

34.  Ever since I discovered them about 4 months ago, I have read almost all of the Best of Craigslist. Probably 75%.

35. Last night I was watching Will and Grace on Lifetime (when Golden Girls should have been on) and Grace has this startling moment when her new boyfriend shows up to go pick pumpkins and ride bikes with her, something she suggested they do several nights ago.  In her moment of confusion (while he's out getting the bikes) Graces freaks out, "Oh my god, he thinks I do stuff!"  Will and Grace isn't all that funny but I really liked that moment.

36. I am really really nervous about applying to grad school.

37. I didn't make any resolutions for this year.

38. Sometimes I take sleeping pills to help me fall asleep.

39. I own more purses than pairs of shoes.

40. I've only been pulled over by police once, I had expired tags.

41. My favorite homecooked meal is my mom's spaghetti, which I can now replicate exactly. 

42. I haven't gotten a hair cut in about 4-5 months.  I have very long hair.  The only reason I get it cut is to re-shape the layers.

43. I'm a food snob.  I don't eat frozen food.  I don't eat McDonalds.  I don't eat most processed foods.  I eat organic as often as possible, even though it costs more.

44. My favorite flowers are tulips.

45. I'm mildly addicted to Freecell.  I can only play it at work, since it's not on my Mac at home.

45. I occasionaly read trash mags like US Weekly and In Touch.

46. For someone who has little understanding of the game, I enjoy going to baseball games immensely, more than any other type of sport.

47.  Most of the time, I think men's cologne smells fantastic.

48. One day I'm going to get laser eye surgery

49.  I don't read as much as I would like.

50. I'm going out for a really nice dinner tonight and I have to leave right now!!!

No pizza? I'm not sure I could do that.

Brilliant is an absolutely fantastic word. It's the one reason I enjoy Guinness commercials.

Mens' cologne? Wear it, as long as it costs at least 40 bucks.

Katie Couric is not only loathesome, she is ugly. One can pretend to be not-loathesome (at least some ppl can; but despite the efforts of well-compensated cosmetic surgeons (think Tori Spelling here), one cannot pretend to be unugly.

Mimes are kind of freaky, but there's a strange gift underlying what the good ones do. At least in my humble opinion.

Re: Briticisms, my father is annoyed that I spell the homonym of "eyes" "ise", instead of the hopelessly vulgar "ize". My father is the genetic wellspring of my critical nature, I think, always whingeing about something that I've done wrong, God love him.

"Jesus, Joseph and Mary", a useful Irish-Catholic introjection, is somewhat preferable to other introjections (such as "shit"); however the locals don't quite get that here.

May the wind be at your back, and the road rise up to meet ya....
