Seven Things You Wish You Never Knew About Me

Haven't done one of these for awhile, but the lovely Chris over at From A Whisper To A Scream has asked me to participate in a meme, and Chris is the kind of guy where if he asks you to do something, you do it. Because he is awesome.

I'm up a few hours before I need to be because my lovely cold has decided that it would like for me to keep it company in the wee hours of the morning. That or my Advil has worn off. I should probably take some more.

Anyways, first things first, on with the meme. Oh and thanks, Chris, for the lovely blog award:


And to any and all of you who read my blog, you deserve this award. No seriously. You deserve this award for willingly stopping by at my little place here and reading my ramblings. So take it. Take the award already. DO IT!

And now on to the meme. I need to tell you 7 things about myself that people may find interesting about me. I will try and keep this clean.

1) I have never broken a bone, but secretly wish I had. I think casts are cool.

2) I have all seasons of The Office and have watched them so often that I have a crease on the bed of where I place my body while watching. Also, I think some of the DVD's are starting to become worn. I'm a lonesome idiot, but that cast never fails to make me laugh. Even at the same jokes.

3) I would love to be a teacher part-time and work in the book industry full-time. *COUGH*UNIVERSE*COUGH*

4) I was thisclose to going sky diving in September. But it fell through. I'm hoping that it will happen before the year is up. 11 more months to go.

5) I'm going to Cuba in March (big fat smiley face). I'm hoping to go to Chicago and somewhere in Europe in the summer (keep with the trend of an American city and European country that I seem to have started last summer). I'm a wanderlust but am only now starting to spread my wings. I feel like I should've done this stuff in my twenties and should be settling down now. But, I'm learning to not question how things happen and how they turn up. I'm just going with it.

6) I knit my first scarf. I've yet to wear it. I plan on crocheting a second scarf as soon as I figure out which yarn I want to buy. I know -- this is riveting information.

7) My secret dream is to take a year off of work and just read every single one of the books on my shelf that I have meant to read, but haven't gotten to yet. I buy books A LOT. And sometimes they sit on my shelf waiting for me to fondle their pages. I would like a year off work to do that.

Well, there it is folks. Seven things you wish you never knew about me. In my defense, I'm feeling quite ill and it's past 4 in the morning and my mind feels kinda mushy and I should really go and take some more cold medicine so I'm nice and drugged up for my students in about 4 hours time.

I should have taken the day off. I'm going to go sob in my pillow now.
