See Spot Play Tag

The lovely and talented Meri-Ann tagged me, and so thankfully today I will not be boring you into a coma with updates on my menstrual cycle. 

(BUT. In case you’re wondering, YES, I did pack my bags and flee from Plimbo last night.  So that makes today Day 1, again.  I feel like I’m living in that movie Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray wakes up to the same day, day after day after day…)

But enough about ME.  Let’s hear some additional and totally irrelevant facts about me.

Four jobs I have had in my life:

1. working at a frozen yogurt shop in high school (and since so many of us wretched kids gave free yogurt to our friends, the owner made us count the cups each night at closing and compare that number to the amount of yogurt sold. So we would count and count hundreds of cups every single day. And put the free yogurt we gave away in drinking cups. HA! We never let The Man get us down. Power to the people!)
2. consulting firm that managed drug testing programs for professional sports leagues (and ‘professional’ wrestling, and no, I am not kidding)
3. legal assistant for a crazy female attorney who routinely smoked pot before going to court and would yell at me so loudly, I had to close the office door to avoid disturbing the offices down the hall. And this happened every.single.day.
4. running a small, youth-related non profit organization

Four movies I watch over and over:

1. The Princess Bride (Have fun stormin’ the castle…God, that never gets old!)
2. Caddyshack
3. LA Story
4. A Christmas Carol (and let me specify: I only watch this over and over because BeBop MAKES me watch it each year at Christmas time, it’s now a family tradition. And each year, he sings along with Ebenezer Scrooge in a terrible, effete British accent. It makes me want to simultaneously puncture my own eardrums with chopsticks AND stab my eyes out with a dull butter knife. But in a weird way it’s also sort of charming and endearing. If I’ve had enough wine to drink, that is.)

Four places I have lived:

1. San Francisco
2. Los Angeles
3. Washington, DC
4. The Gambia, West Africa (for a summer)

Four TV shows I love:

1. Big Brother (I know, so cheesy, but so addictive during the summer)
2. Grey’s Anatomy
3. Gilmore Girls
4. The Office (both the British and American versions)

Four places I have been on vacation:

1. The South of France
2. Tahiti
3. Nepal
4. India (although I use the term ‘vacation’ loosely here!)

Four websites I visit daily:

1. SF Gate
2. Salon
3. Blogs
4. More blogs

Four of my favorite foods:

1. Pizza
2. Burritos
3. Chinese food
4. Chocolate chip cookies

Four places I would rather be right now:

1. A spa, pretty much anywhere in the world
2. In Los Angeles, visiting my sister
3. In the wine country
4. At home with my doggie watching Tivo

Four favorite bands/singers:

1. Dave Matthews Band (And YES, since you ask: I am a fraternity boy stuck in the body of a middle-aged woman!)
2. Nora Jones
3. Counting Crows
4. Frank Sinatra (kickin’ it old school)

And the people I tag to enlighten and amuse us with their answers:

1. S
2. Momo
3. ‘Nilla
4. SaraS-P
5. Zee

And let’s keep our other Cyber Sistahs in mind too — who all have a lot going on in their lives right now — and who are more than welcome to join the game of tag if they feel like a distraction:

1. Nikole
2. Meg
3. The Waiting Line
4. Stella Nova
5. Nico
6. Electric Lady
