^ how many family members on interference? ^

I think only three: my two sisters (swandiver and ewings) and me. However, during the Vertigo tour, we managed to get our brother, his wife, their younger son, ewings' son, swandiver's daughter, and MrPurrl to various shows with us. I think MrPurrl lurks here now and then. :lol:

1. I love my job but it can be so stressful sometimes.

2. I don't care if it's negative 50 degrees outside, I'll still drink my coffee iced. Must be a Rhode Island thing I picked up when I lived there.

3. You couldn't tell from the shape I'm in now, but not too many years ago I did participate in kenpo karate and was state champion and ranked in the international ranking system I competed under. (I miss it alot but those days are over)

4. My middle name is a Sanksrit word for a Hindu deity. (Yea, my parents were like that)

5. I went to Ireland twice in one year...and to be honest I'm surprised they even let me back in the country.

6. I've been to the slums in Mumbai where Slumdog Millionaire was filmed. The movie actually makes it looks nicer than it really is, if you believe it or not. There is still something incredibly beautiful about that city.

7. It's been 17 years and I still miss my grandfather on my father's side almost every day. He was your quintessential college professor...with the gray beard, glasses, tweed jackets with elbow patches and always knew the right thing to say to make everything better.

8. Like many others I wasn't going to write this post, but enough people tagged me, then a few people harassed me directly, so now I'm doing it.

9. I love to socialize, but it totally exhausts me. I blame it on being an only child.

10. I'm 28 and still trying to learn how to walk gracefully in heels. I love the way they look but after a couple hours I'm clopping around like a moose.

11. I’ve finally come to terms with the reality that I’m never going to be a rock star or a best-selling novelist. Maybe.

12. I once sold jelly beans to LA Laker's Lamar Odom. And when I say "jelly beans" I really mean jelly beans and not in reference to how the term was used in Tropic Thunder. Just so nobody thinks I once sold heroin.

13. I am 100% Russian.

14. John is my favorite Beatle.

15. I’m doing what I wanted to do for a living since I was 5 years old: taking care of sick animals and loving on them.

16. I realize now that there were a lot of amazing people that I went to high school with and I wish I had been able to get to know them better.

17. I'm still trying to figure out how Amanda and I both survived high school without serious injury or criminal record.

18. I believe that when I talk to my dog Meko that he understands me.

19. If I'm channel surfing and Back To The Future is on...I will watch it regardless of what point in the movie it's on.

20. I've seen the Great Pyramids in person.

21. Nobody believes me, but I think I am shy.

22. I have had three cars in my life. All of them have had liftbacks. Only one has ever been airborne.

23. I don't understand why The Wonder Years is not available on DVD yet.

24. I had a dream this week that Madonna came and sat next to me at a cocktail lounge and told me I was ugly.

25. I don't like cilantro.

*Bonus*: You know the kind of car wash that you put your car in neutral and it goes on through on a track? I freak out in them and think the car behind me is going to ram into me or the brushes will come flying off the walls and decapitate me. Well, for some reason I always forget this fact until I'm back inside a car wash and it's too late.

I just copied and pasted what I had on my face book of 25 random things about me.

1.) I'm probably the most sensitive person you'll ever know I care way to much about who and what is around me, I'm easily misunderstood which leads me to get hurt, which also leads to me overreacting over something.

5.) I am very temperamental and get moody at times which can get me into trouble, I don't mean to be it just happens.

6.) I love animals to death even the ones that are ugly to most, like Steve Irwin always said WHAT A BOUT!

7.) I'm a Christian, but I'm not as realgouis as people think I am, I love God but I am no bible thumper (no offensive to anyone).

8.) I love to challenge myself, and sometimes over do it, but I love a challenge.

9.) I say something I mean it period, don't challenge me or question me, I hate drama with a passion.

10.) I speak my mind and stick up to what I believe is right even if it pisses everyone off I stick to my guns, but I sometimes says things I don't mean to say and regret it later.

11.) I try at lest everything once if given the chance, but I'm no wild child, and I even do things when told not to,example don't do any type of sports since you have screws in your leg, what did I do I went snow blading down a mountain and had a blast

12.) I'm majoring in Zookeeping technology and want to be a vet tech and get into nursing.

15.) I tend to talk to myself when I am bored.

16.) I don't have many friends, and tend to to stick to myself, and I don't get along with females well, that comes from a trust factor, but that doesn't mean I won't try to be friends with a female.

17.) I don't trust people very much, that comes from when I do I get screwed no matter what and I was picked on all my life and still am.

18.) I get to attached way to easily to people and things that I like or love alot, which tends to get my hurt a lot, and also misunderstood.

19.) I'm dyslexic meaning I read backwords right to left and sometimes I have to have things read to me, or certain color paper etc, which sometimes effects me spelling, grammar, etc.
