Back at Case

Yeah, I'm back in Cleveland now. I am thrilled to see the friends that I have here, but my heart is still in DC. This co-op was really one of the best times in my life.

But enough of that - Sistah T cannot afford to get sentimental on herself. :-D So I'm going to fill out the random list thing that many folks have on their xangas now.

TEN things I like to eat when I'm not hungry:
1. Chips and salsa
2. Pocky
3. Milano cookies
4. Pistachio nuts (the only nuts I CAN eat)
5. Low-calorie fudge bars (don't know why I like 'em, but I do)
6. Clementines
7. Pringles BBQ chips
8. Dried cranberries
9. Crackers
10. Cherry tomatoes

NINE ways to make me laugh:
1. Strong Bad e-mails
2. Do something stupid
3. Give me laughing gas
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail quotes
5. Just watching my mom
6. Watch a musical performance on TV without sound
7. Fast-forwarding videotapes (especially the ones of my violin lessons)
8. Good imitations of foreign accents
9. Dead-on impressions of people and their habits

EIGHT places I want to visit:
1. Athens
2. Vancouver
3. Anywhere in the Caribbean
4. Colorado (random, I know, but I've heard it's gorgeous)
5. Calgary
6. Usedom (island north of Germany)
7. Beijing
8. Annapolis (I know, I meant to go while I was in MD, but was never able to make it)

SEVEN pet peeves:
1. Folks who expect me to organize something and then don't follow my instructions
2. When people don't communicate
3. Printed photos that are out-of-order (weird, I know)
4. Moochers who think I don't know they're mooching
5. Men with facial hair (I'm sorry guys, I know it's a free country and I'm not gonna change your style, but seeing facial hair makes me itch)
6. Smokers in public places
7. Alarms that don't work

SIX girly things I like to do:
1. Shopping (only if I'm fed sometime during the excursion)
2. Watch sappy chick-flicks (only the ones with decent plots)
3. Talk on the phone with good friends
4. Get a haircut (is that really girly?)
5. Curling my hair (ok, that IS girly)
6. Wrap gifts

FIVE songs that I'm ashamed to admit I like and I crank up the volume whenever I hear it:
1. "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" - Kenny Chesney
2. "All My Exes Live in Texas" - George Strait
3. "Mmmbop" - Hanson
4. "My Sharona" - The Knack
5. "Play that Funky Music" - Wild Cherry

FOUR things I hope to change this year:
1. To be able to part with things better (i.e., not hoard things)
2. Stop interrupting folks when they're talking
3. Don't talk so loud (it may not happen though - because my relatives can never hear me if I speak softly)
4. Settin' down the shotgun ;-)

THREE things I would buy if I had money:
1. A nice couch (I know - I'm weird)
2. A Toyota RAV-4
3. A golf course

TWO things I'm thinking about now:
1. I hope I can get the apartment...
2. Doggone it, it is way warmer in DC right now!!

ONE thing that I'm going to do next:
1. Sign off of AIM!!
