Ten Random Things You May or Not Know About Me

5/1/2012

4 Comments

 
1. I don't care for ice cream. Never have. In addition, I rather eat pie then cake on my birthday. When growing up in Portland, Oregon, my favorite place to go for my birthday was the Plush Pippin Pie Restaurant. Oh, how I miss that place and those pies. 

2. I am a meat and potatoes kind of gal, but if forced to only eat one thing for two weeks, I would choose pizza. My favorite pizza is beef, mushrooms, onions, and olives. 

3. Dolls were evil when I was growing up. Refused to play with them. I did not own a doll, not even a Barbie. Stuffed animals, Lego's, and action figures were okay. Yes, I was a Tomboy. I loved to camp, hike, play sports, and ride my bike or skateboard. 

4. My favorite television show growing up was of course Scarecrow and Mrs. King, but I also loved Emergency, Little House on the Prairie, Brady Bunch, Super Friends, Hardy Boys, Knight Rider, Battlestar Galactica (classic), Bionic Woman, and CHIP's. 

5. I am a total sci-fi geek. I love Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Voyager, Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1, X-Flies, Quantum Leap, Firefly, Chuck, and the original Star Wars movies before Lucas made all those changes. Episodes 1,2, and 3 have forever ruined Star Wars for me. Ugh, George, whatever were you thinking? 

6. I was born in California, grew up in Oregon, and have spent my whole married life here in Washington state. We joke with the progressions of moving north, we'll retire to Alaska. 

7. I met my husband at a movie theater. He did not like me - thought I was a spy. 

8. My very first kiss was a stage kiss. Talk about pressure! 

9. I am a huge Mariners fan, and Lord, it's hard to be a Seattle Mariners fan. 

10. I have been involved in drama since I was five years old and played the 'mouse' in Twas the Night Before Christmas. I 'lettered' in drama in high school.  I have a Master's degree in Theatre, with an emphasis in directing. I love to direct community theatre, so if any one needs a director for a local theatre production anywhere around Tacoma, Olympia, Bremerton, Port Orchard, or Shelton area, I am available. Lately, my main focus has been on writing.

I like pie over cake as well. But with ice cream. I like meat and potatoes, but more fish and rice. Japanese is my fav. I don't eat pizza at all. Dolls scare me too. But not clowns. Not that you said anything about clowns. I just wanted to prove I was tough. :) I watched all those shows too. Fellow geek, but I've never seen Voyager or Babylon 5 or SG1 or Chuck. Let me know how Alaska is when you get there, I'd love to go. Please, please, please tell me why your husband thought you were a "spy". A stage kiss doesn't count unless it wasn't in the script. Good luck with the writing and directing. If you land a directing job and need a writer, let me know. I think it'd be fun to collaborate on a theater piece.

Thanks for sharing, this was fun...

Thanks, Greg for taking the time to read and leave comments. I knew you were tough. I think it would be great to collaborate with you too.

The hubby thing - well, it's a bit of a long story. However, he had gotten a hold of a job application I had turned in to the manager of a movie theater he was working at - and noticed I had worked for "competing" movie theaters, therefore, I must have been a spy for the competition. I showed him - by marrying him. :D

You and I are very much alike. Love pizza, hated dolls, was a tomboy, love the same tv shows and love sci-fi. Never been to California, Oregon or Washington state though. Furthest west I have ever been was Idaho. Spent 5 years in Montana where I earned my degree from Montana State. I am also a huge sports fan but I LOVE football. Wanted to play football when I grew up but it never panned out. The Buffalo Bills are my team and it is very hard to be a Bills fan, very hard.
I love your writing but you already knew that!!

     "Hey. . . it's me."

    I live in the shadows of the Olympic Mountains, in the State of Washington and I love camping, boating, hiking, and hanging out with my husband, our three boys, and two Bernese Mountain dogs. 

    I enjoy beta reading, writing, listening to music, directing community theater, family history, and visiting forest fire lookouts.

    "Actually, I do a lot of things."

    My favorite television show growing up was Scarecrow and Mrs. King and my screenplays and fan fiction stories are all based on that series.
