1. My natural hair color is:

I don’t remember. Actually, it’s brown, but I’m not exactly sure which shade of brown. I haven’t seen it in 23 years. I’m amazed I have any hair left.

Right now, it looks like this:

2. I love kid shows

I grew up watching all the kids shows on PBS. Geek Boy makes fun of the fact that if I happen to be channel surfing and I come across Sesame Street, I watch it.

I also like Between The Lions. Really, how cool is a show that has a segment staring Sir Gawain, but done like ‘Wayne’s World’?

Gwain’s Word

3. I love PBS

Thanks to PBS, I can do a very good British accent. Before I got married, I used to watch all the British programming on the local PBS station, but now Geek Boy whines that he can’t understand the what they’re saying . Uh huh, sure. His grandfather was English. And he understands Monty Python just fine, but as soon as Masterpiece Theatre begins, he loses his mastery of the English language. GB is such a dork sometimes.

4. I used to be called The U.N.

My best friend gave me that nickname because my boyfriends were always from different countries. I just seemed to attract foreigners. I dated guys from : England, Ireland, Morocco, Iran, Russia, Romania, Spain, Brazil, Lebanon, Chile, and Argentina. My husband? He’s an L.A. baby like me. How boring.

5. I’m flexible

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m double jointed, or because my mom had me doing yoga at an early age, but I’m freakishly flexible.

6. I love Westerns

I have a weird fascination with the Old West. I used to watch old Westerns on TV with my grandfather, so I just grew up loving the genre. Some of my favorite Westerns:

Tombstone

My grandfather looked just like Sam Elliot.

Unforgiven

That has got to be the best line from that movie.

High Plains Drifter

Can you tell I like Clint Eastwood? Hey, he was hot in his day. Anyway, this movie is a western/ghost story hybrid. The trailer doesn’t do it justice.

7. I love pro wrestling

I guess this is more of my grandfather’s influence shining through. Yes, I know it’s fixed, but those guys are tremendous athletes. Plus, it’s just fun to watch.

The Undertaker is my favorite wrestler.

I think he’s kind of hot.

Since I’m kinda new around here, I’m not going to tag anyone, but I hope you’ll try this. It’s always fun to learn about people.
