In my continuing effort to figure out who I am as a single person, rather than as a unit, I give you the following list of Things That Most People Don't Know About Me :
- I am fascinated by erosion, and always have been. As a kid, I tried to create a river in my backyard by letting the outdoor spigot run for about an hour every day. I figured, if the water kept running in the same place, carving the same path day after day, eventually I would wear it down enough to hit a natural water table and ... well, as you might imagine, it didn't exactly work out.
- I have never seen an "original" James Bond film. The only two I've ever seen are the new Daniel Craig movies.
- Pregnancy photos freak me out.
- My first celebrity crush was Will Smith in MIB.
- I secretly long for a relationship just like the one in "The Mummy." Handsome rogue, beautifully stubborn woman, exotic adventures ... the actual mummies I could probably do without, but hey! At least their life is always interesting!
- Office Depot is one of my favorite stores in the world.
- I would happily rehearse for a show on any given holiday. Theatre is my all-consuming passion, and one of the few things in life I would give up almost everything else for.
- I can not make toast. I have no idea why.
- I used to be scared to death of the characters at Disney. Like, terrified. And yes, I do see the glaring irony in my life right now.
- I get far too invested in the lives of fictional characters. For instance: even as a kid, I hated Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Why? Because in the scene where Dick Van Dyke's invention makes a delicious breakfast for everyone, the character of the grandfather got nothing but a raw, brown egg. And I was heartbroken for him.
- It's quirks like that last one that legitimately make me wonder HOW I ever got married in the first place, and seriously doubt that I ever will again.
- I collect dragonflies.
- I grew up thinking I was half black. My dad had much darker skin when I was little (Cherokee in the bloodlines) and so I was convinced that I was half-and-half. And I wondered if my little brother would look black or white when he was born. It was at this point that my mother realized my mistake and corrected me. I still say I've got soul in there somewhere.
- I desperately want to be a spy. But the next best thing would be guest-starring on an episode of Burn Notice. Dear Matt Nix : You are brilliant, your show is amazing, I would happily pay you to let me be on it. Much love :)
- If ever I get into film, I would like to do my own stunts.
- I don't understand the mustache fad.
