7 things

My friend Lucy tagged me in her blog today, so I thought i might return the favor. Someone put her to the test on 7 random things that I suppose people may or may not know about her. Since I usually wear my heart on my sleeve, it's hard to think of 7 things people may not know about me. I'll give it a shot anyway:

1. I am a darn good cross-stitcher. About 3 months ago, I started on a little project for my pals in Austin, Jeremy and Jessica Jeremy actually gave me the idea from this website called Subversive Crossstitch. Basically it's a bunch of mildly to extremely offensive crossstitch patterns you can make. I am by no means an expert at crossstitching, but my mom taught me how to do it a number of years ago, and now I am pretty good at it.

2. I like ballet. Once a year, I like to go see the ballet. It's doesn't really fit with my typical "manly" activities like fixing the car, or rolling in the dirt with the dog, but I do enjoy it about once a year. I haven't gone since I lived in Austin, but I will probably go again sometime soon.

3. I like to bake. More specifically, I like to use my kitchenaid mixer. Jessica turned me on to this awesome piece of machinery about 2 years ago, and now I love to throw anything I can together and mix it all up.

4. I am extremely brand loyal. I guess this comes from loving Apple for so long, but if I find a brand of clothing I really like or brand of electronics I really like, I usually will only buy that brand. Polo, Oakley, Apple, BMW, Craftsman, Swatch are a few of my favorites.

5. I secretly want to be a police officer. I absolutely cannot get enough of these COP shows. I must watch 5-10 hours of these shows a week. They never get old either. I love watching and hearing what these idiot criminals will do to get out of being arrested. I would love to dive around at high speed all the time busting bad dudes every day. Plus the brotherhood that comes with the job seems intriguing to me as well.

6. I love a good party. You may have noticed that I love throwing parties. I just love being surrounded by friends and laughing about stupid stuff and taking about nothing. It's great fun to be surrounded by friends. I love being hospitable.

7. I love music and movie posters. I've got posters of the Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and some other movie posters in my apartment. I don't really have any "art" on my walls.

So I am now throwing it out to my friends:

Jessica

Mrs. Juicebox
