Since I just have leftovers, albeit good ones, for lunch, I thought I would post my Honest Scrap!

I got tagged by Camille, one of the awesome bloggers I met in San Francisco a few weeks ago.

I’m supposed to list 10 things people probably don’t know about me, so here we go!

1. I took piano lessons for 4 or 5 years, and I miss playing.

2. My Pampaw used to have a bright orange VW Beetle and I wanted it!

3. On the way to piano one night, a guy that cut my dad off while driving pulled up beside us at a stoplight and showed my dad his gun by pointing it towards our car through his window. I didn’t see it…since I was a nerd and was reading a Babysitter’s Club book with my awesome book light.

4. I hate Williams Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying. Maybe because I’ve had to read it a million times?

5. I went through a stage in my late high school/early college years where I only shopped at Hot Topic, I dyed my hair dark red, and I gauged my ears (eventually) to a size 0. I’m sure my parents are happy that phase is over.

6. My little sister and I used to dress up in my dad’s sweats, stuff pillows in our sweatshirts and pants and “sumo wrestle” on our trampoline.

7. Even though we’re 3 years apart, teachers in our high school used to ask me and my older sister if we were twins.

8. Although I was an English major, I haven’t read most of the “classics”.

9. I want to write a cookbook! Maybe more than one, but at least one.

10. I am ridiculously excited for Thanksgiving – family, friends, my mom’s fudge pie, Black Friday shopping…it’s the best.

Instead of tagging people, list a few things in the comments! I want to know you better, too ;)

  11. I love this :D Such a fun way to get to know people…

    Random things about me…
    – I used to love the Babysitters Club, Saddle Club and Sweet Valley High and would spend entire weekends with a stack of books just reading one after another
    – I have a tattoo of a rose on my stomach that I got when I was 15
    – my brother lives 10 minutes away from me and we get on REALLY well but haven’t seen each other since March (!)

  12. Sorry all my Michigan peeps, I’m picking Ohio State :-)

    I pierced my tongue and got an industrial bar through the top of my ear as my gift to myself for completing my dissertation. The tongue piercing closed up 2 weeks later when I took it out because I had a job interview. Still wear the bar.

  13. YUMMY! I love your mom’s fudge pie ;)

    -I remember your Hot Topic phase and it seems so far from who you are now.
    -I have always wanted to play the piano but never learned even though we always had a piano in the house growing up.
    -I REALLY want to have this baby boy on my birthday on Sunday cause I don’t care so much about sharing that day, in fact I think it would be the best birthday gift ever!

  14. – My brother and I are 1 year and 360 days apart. He was born 5 days before my second birthday.

    – My favorite doll as a kid was the home-made cabbage patch my mom made me. I sold my regular ones in a yard sale along time ago but still have my home-made one.

    – I got the day off of school when the Berlin wall fell. My parents were stationed in Germany. Somewhere I have a piece of it.

    – I don’t really like pizza. I only eat it if it has funky toppings like feta and asparagus.

    – I still own all my Baby Sitters Club books and will be passing them onto my daughter someday because I think they are that cool.

  15. Hey!
    Your food always looks so good…and big in your pictures, lol.

    I can’t play any instrument or sing a note, but I love to listen to music.

    I used to live in Michigan and California before moving to Oregon.

    In my youth, I went to lots of rock concerts, like Queen, Aerosmith, Joe Cocker and Cat Stevens.

    Have a great weekend! Anne

  16. Can you post a picture of your piercings? I read from another blog that you have the coolest ones! :D

  17. I can’t believe you don’t like As I Lay Dying. One of my faves. And I loved your earrings. I thought they were great. Also, I only know enough Spanish to help high schoolers with Spanish 1&2. I’m not sure we got our money’s worth.
