Apparently, Shell Flower over at Tangent Shell thinks I have some. Because of that, she was generous enough to bestow upon me the following blog awards:

My understanding is that I am now supposed to share with you seven facts about myself. Despite my creativity (I don’t wish to seem ungrateful but the spelling of ‘creative’ in that pic is making me crazy. Crazier.) and versatility, I can’t say that I’m overly interesting so I hope I don’t bore y’all to death.
1. My first job that didn’t involve babysitting was stagehand work at my university’s performing arts center. Highlights of my illustrious career included breaking two fingers while setting up the sets for a production of Camelot, working backstage security at a Dave Matthews Concert, working front stage security at a Bob Dylan concert (made even more hilarious when you know that I weigh about 110 pounds and had a really good contact high going on that night) and my Broadway stage debut during a production of Crazy For You when the set I was supposed to be moving didn’t actually move before the curtain went up. Fortunately, I have excellent jazz hands…
2. There was a time when I seriously considered going to Julliard to train to be an opera singer. Lack of jazz hands made me decide otherwise…
3. Six years later (this is what happens, kids, when you don’t pick a major and stick with it), I graduated with a BA in communications and English with a concentration in mass media and creative writing. What does that mean, you ask? It means I fold jeans for a living. But with jazz hands…
4. During a job interview once, I was asked if I had my retail dream come true, what would I be doing. My answer was “giving my two weeks notice.” Needless to say, I did not get that job. Despite my jazz hands…
5. I love macaroni and cheese. I eat it all the time. Most of the time. It’s quite honestly the only thing I can make. Everything else has to come in a box. Or from a restaurant. Where the waiters have jazz hands…
6. I believe Mount Desert Island in Maine is the most perfect place to live because it has mountains, lakes and the ocean. And a cute little indie bookstore that I adore. If I could convince The Man to move there, I’d be living there right now. And yeah, I’d be doing jazz hands.
7. I love to vote. I get a little rush whenever I arrive at a polling place. Democracy is my drug. That, and NyQuil. And jazz hands apparently…
So those are my seven fun facts. Thanks again to Shell Flower…
