I’m 32 today.  Weird.  It feels like just yesterday I was 31.  (Har har har)

Since it’s my birthday I’m allowing myself to do two things today:  blog BEFORE I try to get any work done (woo!) and write down a list of 32 things about me that you might not know.  Or maybe you do.  But here are thirty two random things about me that you might (or might not) know already.

1.  Last night I decided that Michael Westin is totally one of my five.

2.  I harbor a not so very much secret dream of someday being a rock star.

3.  Barring that I will settle for playing the role of Annie someday when my retirement home does its own production of that musical.

4.  The last time I rocked out on rock band in my living room I pretended I was rock banding it up at PAX.  (Do they even do that there?)

5. I almost never remember to clean my glasses.

6.  My current favorite video game to play (besides rock band when nobody else is home) is Wii’s We Cheer.

7.  I don’t care what the cover looks like, that game is fracking HARD.

8.  It doesn’t matter how pristine the rest of my apartment is, if my kitchen isn’t spotless I feel twitchy.

9.  I’m pretty sure that means that I am well on my way to becoming my mother.

10.  This does not irritate me as much as it once did (don’t get me wrong, it is still kind of freaky but I’m not as…horrified by the notion as I would have been a decade ago).

11.  Whenever Will touches my face I get all melty even if the touch is just because I have somehow left part of my lunch there.

12.  If anybody else tried to touch my face I would probably bite them.

13.  I have serious personal space issues.  If I don’t know you please stand outside of arm swinging distance.

14.  Interestingly, I have absolutely zero problems with crowds.

15. My favorite number is 16.  I’ve never really been sure why but I just realized that I am now twice as much as my favorite number.

16.  That is about the extent of my math skills.

17.  Dragonflies creep me out.

18. Lemon is probably one of my very favorite smells.  That’s why all of my cleaning stuff is lemon scented.  Except the vinegar.  That is vinegar scented.

19.  Every time I toss something into a pan while I am cooking I say “BAM!”

20.  Even though I haven’t touched a piano in fifteen years or so (holy crap that just blew my mind) and I only knew how to play a few things when I did play, one of my major financial goals is to be able to afford to buy my own piano.

21.  My other major financial goal is to be able to buy the good, locally raised, hormone free, free range meat when we go grocery shopping (without feeling guilty about the super cheap stuff that, if you season it enough, still tastes fine).

22.  There was a time in my life when if I had $5 to my name I’d spend it on a movie ticket.  Even if it meant that I wouldn’t have enough money to buy food until payday.

23.  I almost miss being a coffee slinger.  I have a ton of coffee knowledge in my brain and nothing to use it on!

24.  I’m starting to think that it is physically impossible for me to only type one space after a period.

25.  My one true talent is being able to remember every single movie I have ever seen (I don’t always remember what they are called but I’ll remember the plot lines, the actors and all the rest of it).

26.  I am extraordinarily good at the “six degrees of separation” game with actors.

27.  I have every original series Baby-Sitters Club book ever released and when things get stressful I have been known to pull out a book or two and read through them because they are comforting.

28.  I only learned how to properly blow dry my hair six months ago.

29.  I can count on one hand the number of times I have put on makeup (outside of performing during my high school drama days and makeup class in college).

30.  My very favorite character in all of television history is Toby Ziegler.

31.  I have a sickness for buying stuff made by bloggers.  I have an entire shelf that is filled with books published by bloggers.  When I have spare cash I like to see if a blogger has a store and buy stuff from it.

32.  This list was harder than I thought it would be!
