25 Things

I did this on Facebook earlier and I am putting it here as well (so lazy)....

1. I have flown almost a million miles in the last 8 years.
2. My favorite flower is althea zebrina.My favorite fruit is raspberries and my favorite vegetable is cauliflower.
3. Here are some of my heroes: Elizabeth Hawes, Emma Goldman, Babara McClintock
4. I would like to think that everyone who names their child Emma is really naming her after Emma Goldman.
5. I was not named after the movies.
6. In 7th grade I was considered a greek.In 8th grade I was considered pretty popular.By 9th grade I was over it. Means girls suck. Being a mean girl sucks.
7. I am a fundamentalist Unitarian Universalist. 
8. I have get crushes on lots of people...except they are platonic in nature and it's more like a crush on their brain. Except Clive Owen, if he shows up at my door to whisk me away for a fun filled weekend, my marriage will be rocky after I get back.
9. When I grow up I want to do stained glass and garden all the time.
10. My husband is an asshole but if you call him that I will verbally abuse you.
11. I am a very bad feminist.
12. Velvet Underground is my favorite band, Pale Blue Eyes is my favorite song. There is only one other person in this world who knows why.
13. There are very few people I confide in.
14. I don't like leaving my house but I love having company. Except to see live music, I love going to see live music.
15. Spell check is my freind.
16. Everyone in my house snores except the cat, she purrs nonstop which is just like snoring at this point.
17. I have an 17 year old cat. We can tell she is getting senile because she has become really affectionate and purrs non-stop.
18. My daughter's creativity blows my mind.
19. I would like to live on a ski slope so I can ski during my lunch break in the winter. One that is right next to the ocean so I can swim during my lunch break in the summer. I also want a really fun river to flow into it (right next to my house) so that we can boat on the weekends and not have to set shuttle.
20. I am currently betting one of my best friends who can go longer without drinking alcohol. Loser pays for pedicures. This is a question of wills.
21. I am a high school drop out. My mom talked BHS into giving me a diploma becuase all I needed was gym to graduate. One week me and a few friends from college spent hours and hours bowling for gym credit. I dropped out of highschool to go to college.
22. I look forward to introducing my daughter to white water this summer. She will be old enough to boat down section III. She is looking forward to it too. 
23. I have only failed one class ever - organic chemistry. My dad was a chemist.
24. I have a degree in neurophysiology. So far it has only come in handy making small talk at cocktail parties.
25. I love fire.
