About Me

Shelene tagged me on her blog to share some random facts about myself, so here goes:

1. I have so gotten into the habit that I must stretch and crack my joints before going to bed. This includes, for example, two spots in my lower back I can't really describe (maybe where those funny indentations are?) and my second toe, which pops when I bend it sideways to straighten it (after years of dance it curves to the outside a bit).

2. I came in second place in my fifth grade spelling bee on the word "Mediterranean." Since then I've never forgotten the double R, though it still makes me anxious.

3. As a kid I thought I was really tough. I went through a phase where I thought I was training to be a street fighter. My friend Amanda and I would fake wrestle and practice kip-ups in my backyard. It must have been the strong female role models I saw in those video games, like Sonya Blade and that chick Kylie Minogue played in "Street Fighter."

4. If I were to ever have a daughter, I would probably name her Stella. 

(I'm not one of those girls that has her top five boys and girls names chosen at any given time and posts it on her myspace, but I've always liked that name. And, I simply cannot decide on a fitting middle name. The syllable count and the A on the end is tricky.)

5. My current favorite chair is Eero Saarinen's Executive chair with the wooden legs and without the armrests. I dream that someday I will be able to collect some of my favorite modern chairs. I would absolutely get an Eames LCW chair, a Bertoia side chair, and a Barcelona chair, but the list goes on. 

6. Lately I've been thinking that I might love being a location scout and/or set dresser for film. It seems that most location scouts are also photographers/cinematographers, and many set dressers first did stage work and have theatre degrees. But if it just turns out in the future that I get an opportunity to try it, I would be so excited.

7. Nathan is taking me out for dinner and a movie tonight! We are going to the Crest Cinema in Shoreline, which shows independent and second run movies for $3! (And if you buy a large popcorn, you get free refills) We're going to see Pineapple Express. :P So now I must go. 

Thanks for reading...hopefully you enjoyed learning something new and odd about me. I will start my tagging with Vinnie, Tyler, Taylor and my dad. Good luck you all.
