8 Things you may not know about me...

I was tagged by Meg Belanger - so glad I am finally getting to play the photographer's tag that has been going around! :)

1. I spent ten years as an in-house corporate graphic designer before realizing that my heart was really set on photography (I still design too!).

2. My pinkie fingers are extremely small in proportion to the other fingers on my hands. It's this crazy genetic thing on my father's side - all of us have it. We can trace it back MANY generations. My generation seems to be the last to have it though- my son was born with 'normal' pinkies.

3. When I was a freshman in college, I got a make-over on a talk show. I received a standing ovation from the audience - the only one they gave out that day - ha!

4. When I go to Vegas (or Mohegan Sun), I only play roulette, and I only play the following numbers: 3-5-7-11-15-23-30-35. Those closest to me can figure out why.

5. I am an office supply junkie. I can never seem to have enough pens, double-stick tape, rulers, Xacto knives, scizzors, etc.

6. I have lived in the following six places in my life: Exton/West Chester, PA; Gaithersburg, MD; Frostburg, MD; Alexandria, VA; Christiana/Newark, DE; Scarsdale/Eastchester, NY.

7. I have been using the Internet since 1994 and I'm darn proud of that fact! :) I've also been a Macintosh user since 1995 and I'm darn proud of that fact too. When Macs weren't "cool", I told everybody how stupid PCs were (and got lots of funny looks). I'm glad ya'll have finally seen the light...

8. When I was a teenager, I would paint the walls in my bedroom. At one point, I had a 5-foot-tall Red Hot Chili Peppers logo on one wall, and a life-size Ren & Stimpy painting on another. If I painted something I didn't like, I'd just paint over it until I found something I did like. My bedroom was my own little art gallery. (My father spent many, many hours scraping off the layers and repainting the walls once I moved out - sorry 'bout that dad!)

Kim Anthony
Sherri Jackson
Jennifer McKinney (who gets a pass because she just had the world's most beautiful baby about three days ago!)

I am totally with you on the office supply front. I could spend HOURS in Staples. Or, frankly, in a drug store like Rite Aid. Also, I drew Disney characters on the back of my bedroom door in permanent marker. Months later, we had to move. Oops. Thanks for playing!
