A Deserted Island...

Alright, this is for Katiri! In the past we've had some really great conversations about music. Both in SL and out, she's one of my favorite music aficionados. On her profile in SL she basically states that if you want to talk to her, send her a list of the 30 songs you couldn't live without on a desert island.

I finally decided that I'd try to write mine down, though I have a feeling that it will change on occasion! It took me 2 months to finish, but here it is! (I think...)

16 Things About Me (or, You've Been Tagged)

Ok.... the holidays are over and I need to get my tush back in gear and do some posting, eh? *winks* I've been tagged by Bettye! It's my first time so treat me gently and here goes...

~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. I live to laugh... and luckily an easily amused so it works out well!

2. Am saddly addicted to Diet Coke.

3. Sometimes I have a hard time saying "no" when it comes to work. Or letting people know when I have too much on my plate. I tend to smile, nod, and take on more than I can accomplish.

4. I feel like the luckiest person in the world because I found the love of my life who puts up with me despite everything.

5. Always wanted to be a bellydancer because of the cool costumes.

6. Worked for the Rennaissance Festivals for 10 years selling wares and being a saucy wench.

7. I seem base alot of my life around when my godson was 3 yrs old. Apparently that was a good year because I always catch myself saying, "Well, let's see... Andy was 3..." (He's now 17)

8. Almost burst into tears today with joy when my 2 year old daughter looked at me with a very serious expression and said, "Momma, I just love playing with you."

9. Talk about my 2 year old daughter way too much.

10. Thought of something really cool to jot down 10 minutes ago and promptly forgot. *sighs*

11. I used to have panic dreams that I would forget to wear my costume to a sci-fi/fantasy convention. (Yes, I am that much of a geek)

12. Spent most of the day today in the closet. Of course that's because our paper cutter is in the closet and I spent most of the day hacking pieces of paper into little shreds.

13. Was a terribly unsuccessful "goth" in highschool because I was too happy. I think my perpetual giggles annoyed the "cool" goth kids. Still love the music though!

14. I met my husband in a bar. I know that lots of people try to meet folks there, but I don't know many successful relationships that started that way!

15. I love to read cheesy romance novels. They're tacky, tawdry and great fun!

16. I think that friends are family and the cornerstone of life. Thank you to my dear friends for being part of mine.

There we go! Now for the sad part, I don't think I know enough bloggers to tag! Doh... So I guess, if you actually read this... Woot! You're tagged. *giggles*
