Eight Random Facts:
1. I have extremely eclectic musical tastes, including light Italian opera, country, rock, Celtic, Broadway, and Pakistani rock. About the only thing I won't listen to is rap.
2. I own hundreds of books located at both my parents' house in Kansas and my apartment in Louisiana -- and I doubt I've even read half of them.
3. Thanks to the encouragement of my friends Anita, Jonikka, and Kevin, I took up creative writing again seven years ago as a way to exercise the other half of my brain. I currently have several fan-fiction pieces (for the TV series "Highlander," "Doctor Who/Torchwood," and "The Sentinel" as well as one for the Harry Potter universe) and a couple of originals -- none of which are anywhere CLOSE to being completed.
4. I wear a rhinoceros ring on my right hand. I've had it so long (more than thirteen years) that the flesh of my finger has formed to the back of the ring. People often mistake it for a hippo when they just glance at it.
5. Pesto is mankind's greatest culinary invention. Hummus is #2.
6. I have at least a half a dozen different types of tea in my cupboard. I love trying different kinds.
7. Since I've been home this Summer, I've become addicted to the Japanese program "Ninja Warrior" on the G4 channel. It's good that I can watch episodes on the channel's website, because I don't get it on my cable lineup in NOLA. I have a crush on regular contestant Makoto Nagano -- great body, adorable smile. ::swoon::
8. I have an octopus stuffy on my desk in the graduate student office that my friend Sarah got at this year's Zulu parade. She tried to grab it when it was thrown, but a tourist snatched it away from her. Sarah pleaded with her: "My friend LOVES octopuses! Please let me have it for her!" She traded her an entire garbage bag full of beads.

Guacamole and margaritas have the edge on pesto and hummus, imo, but I love them too. Also, I'm a big BIG tea lover too. It's a useful fascination -- it helped me kick the caffeine-headache-inducing coffee habit.
Thanks for the tag! LOL, actually I don't mind answering them at all. Unless of course it's like a 50 question survey or something to that nature... those get so old! Anyway I posted my random things on my blog.
Was i supposed to put like 8 freaky things about me on here or something? Well, okay. . . everything you didn't want to know about me:
1. I can squirt milk out of my tear ducts by snorting it up my nose, holding my nose, and bearing down like I'm trying to blow it. I can get like 3 feet of air.
2. I play the alto recorder.
3. My dream date is a picnic dinner in a huge hot air balloon over a big city at night.
4. I'm an insane photographer and I want to travel everywhere and take pictures.
5. I went to the All Hallows Ball at Borders the night the new Harry Potter book came out and took pictures of all the kids in costumes. It was awesome. I was also in the Harry Potter Spelling Bee. I lost. I read Deathly Hallows in 14hrs.
6. This chick that I knew in 4th grade just found me on myspace. That would officially make her the longest friendship I've ever had. . . if you don't count the 21 year gap. She's a lesbian. . . I wonder why she is looking me up?
Freaky.
7. I love to go to sleep listening to audiobooks.
8. I hate shopping for clothes and have had panic attacks in Wal-Mart when faced with an underwear purchase decision. I would prefer to wear a standard uniform every day so I don't have to think about what to wear.
