25 things you didn't know about me...

2. My first concert I remember was Peter Paul and Mary.
3. The first CD I ever bought was Pearl Jam's 10 at a pawn shop. My first and only time at a pawn shop.
4. My first new CD was Green Day's Dookie.

7. I learned how to drive stick, but got my license on an automatic when I was 19.
8. I've been to 25 states and 4 provinces (so far).

11. I like most all music- the exception being thrasher metal and gangster rap.
12. I've had a dream of working for LL Bean since I was a little kid.
13. I learned how to ski when I was 18/19 years old. (no, falling down a kajillian times at Mad River Glen at 13 doesn't count)
14. My parents tell me I used to wake up at night and roam the house when I was real little. They cut my door in half (Dutch Style door) to keep me in.
15. My first car was a 1984 Volkswagen Quantum. I t-boned it in Pittsburgh while at school in the area, and got stopped by a cop in New York State because I had a huge hole in my exhaust coming home at Christmas. Vera the Volkswagen.
16. Yes, I name my cars. Vera, Silvia (silver Ford Escort), Mr. Miyagi (Mazda Protege), and Blue? (Toyota Matrix)
17. I never met my real maternal grandmother. I had the best step grandmother that I thought was my real grandmother until I was a teenager.
18. When I was a kid, people thought I was Indian (now called Native American) because of my dark hair that my mom always put in braids and skin (in the summer) and I dressed up as one every Halloween for 3 or 4 years.

24. I love getting mail and sending mail- cards, packages, post cards.
25. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. It seems like I only get older, but not grow up. Maybe it's not a bad thing... the jury is still out on that one...
