Me

-- I don't always remember to capitalize "I" when referring to myself as a person.

-- When I was little and had my first major growth spurt my legs got long... and the rest of my body never caught up.

-- I love eating Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough right out of the package.  Pillsbury is the best!

-- I want to travel.  Specifically to Caccuri in Italy, Greece, the Giza Plateau in Egypt, Romania, and New Zealand. 

-- I love being outdoors... but have never successfully gone camping, and I don't mean just sleeping in my grandmother's front yard in the tent with Mindy :-)

-- When I was growing up I would sneak into my grandparents garden and steal an onion or a potato and just eat it raw.  I think raw potatoes are wonderful.  I also stole apples, raspberries, and blueberries. 

-- I love cats.  I've always had a cat, since I was born.  If I lived in Ancient Egyptian times, I would have my cat mummified with me. 

-- I love to sing while driving.  My iPod is filled with playlists of just nothing but songs I can sing to.  I'm pretty sure that I get so into it that other drivers wonder what's wrong with me...

-- I wasn't born in a state, but right in the middle of the District of Columbia.  The hospital that I was born in (and later my sister), is also where my Dad's mother and older sister were born.  It has since been turned into condos.

-- I can't do a cartwheel. 

-- Even though I love to cook, I never get to do it very often.  Which leads most of my family to assume that I am void of any cooking ability.  Which isn't true... just void of cooking opportunity. 

-- I love music and will listen to just about anything with a good beat.  Even the occasional hip-hop/rap song.  My all time favorite though is either Rock or Showtunes which is an odd combination I know.  I also have more than a few scores and soundtracks, mostly by Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Danny Elfman, and James Horner.

-- I'm a Roma.  My mother is Roma.  My family is Roma.  And even though we are not connected directly to a family here in the states, I have been raised to appreciate our roots and our family.  I take great pride in being a Gypsy, and my abilities as a Gypsy. 

-- I love life.  I love my family.  I love my friends.  And I'm loyal even to the bitter end.  I don't keep a lot of people close, so those of you in my inner most confidence, you are my support system.  And I love you all :-)
