1. As I said before, I'm a history buff. One of my favorite family vacations was Colonial Williamsburg and it was there I decided that I would go to college at William & Mary. Sadly, I never did and, instead went to a girls college in Longmeadow, MA. I wonder if William & Mary does online classes...
2. As a child I had the biggest crush on Randy Mantooth from Emergency and Eric Estrada from Chips. Perhaps it was the uniform or perhaps it was the dark hair, but I find it funny now having dated both a firefighter and a cop, I'd take the cop any day. Dark haired of course. Don't really like blond men (well 'cept Damian but that's another story for another day)...
3. I don't have a passport. I've got to do that.
4. My favorite nighttime soap of all time is Savannah with CSI's George Eads as a cad. IMO, it's better than Footballers Wives. I was lucky to get a copy of the DVD set from eBay which, thankfully, crossed my path a year or so ago.
5. I'm Catholic but left the church when I was about to be confirmed in high school. I'm still angry about that but in time I'll go back. The priest I had words with turned out to be crooked. Shocker there. Anyways, it kinda soured me on the whole religion thing.
6. I have a stuffed dog named "Le Mutt". My great grandmother gave him to me and no matter how ratty he is, he stays. She died shortly after I got him. The company also manufactured a Fifi le Mutt and a Baby le Mutt - don't know where those went to but I always kept the original Le Mutt - his leg is hanging off as is part of his neck and is in desperate need of surgery (and a bath) but I can't bear to part with him. It reminds me of her and she was one hell of a lady!
7. I have an Egyptian ankh tattooed at the base of my spine. In it, I have the initials of my childhood friend Justine who passed from Neuroblastoma in 1990 at the age of 19 as well as my dear friend Nick's initials (he passed in 1998 from complications of injuries sustained in a fire). As its the symbol for eternal life it was my way of remembering them and they both were strong influences in my life. It was the most painful thing I did and the idea to get a tattoo was originally part of a bet with A. that I, of course, lost. I didn't cry during the tat session - you can ask Bec. I pretty much came close to breaking her hands during the process though. That sucker HURT!
8. I rarely can turn down a bet and can be an evil mischievous minx. Its not always in my best interest to always take on bets. See above.
