I was tagged by this lovely creature so I will muster up the energy to think of 10 random factoids about myself.

1. On any given evening, you will likely catch me talking in a very strange oochy-coochy way and giving many kisses (like close to make out kisses) to my labradors.

2. My father is gay and his partner is 30 years younger. My mother looks like Mimi from the Drew Carey show and has 5 Yorkies. Both of my parents will keep me in therapy for many years.

3. My senior year GPA in high school was a 0.3.

4. I decided to move out to Boulder, Colorado when I was 19 years old. I moved here with a hunky friend Dan who was home for fall Break. I withdrew from college classes and decided to move within a weeks period of time. He spent the week fixing an old Scirocco while I packed and we were off. About 3 minutes into our trip, on the highway in Connecticut, the car burst into flames. We frantically tried to get all of my stuff out and the emergency crews came rushing onto the freeway. We turned back, got my 1987 volkswagon that was for sale at my dad's and took off again. We made it in less than 35 hours.

5. I always set my alarm clock so the numbers represent a math equation.

6. I graduated college with honors and did my thesis on cognitive development in 5-month olds.

7. My name before I got married was that of an actress.

8. When I was young, we had a hamster that knew how to open its cage and so it lived in its cage but the cage was in the bathtub it would slip up the sides if it tried to get out. One night I had a dream about something scratching me and I woke up and the hamster was on my neck. I freaked and threw it against the wall. It lived.

9. When I was 11, I met Jonathan Knight from KNOTB. He was in his hotel room in his boxers at 4am. My sister and I snuck a note under his door saying there were two huge fans outside of the door. He opened the door and we took pictures with him in his undies. When he went back inside, we stole his used silverware and salt and pepper shakers from his room service tray.

10. I have never seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies.
