Here are my seven facts:
ONE: I worked as a ride operator at Six Flags for two summers during college. I can still recite the speil from the "Irrawaddy Riptide" (it was a flume ride)... "Welcome to the Irrawaddy Riptide! Please remain seated with your hands, arms and legs inside the boat at all times. Please secure all loose articles such as hats, handbags, eyeglasses, and cameras. If you lose them on the ride, we will not be held responsible. Please note that rocking the boat and splashing is not permitted nor will it be tolerated on the ride. Thank you and have a great day at Six Flags, your number one place for fun family entertainment in the northeast."

TWO: I have a tramp stamp. I go it on my honeymoon in Hawaii. It's hibiscus flowers and a pretty blue butterfly. Mason loves it and likes to pull it out in public to show the world that his mom is slutty.

THREE: I love love love Italy. I want to live there. I want to travel only there. I want to go back there as soon as we can. Besides Italy, my other two favorite places in the world are New York City and New Orleans. As a bonus, THREE A is that I've been to Halloween parades in both of those cities. THREE B: A prostitute complimented my ripped fishnets during one of our many NY Halloweens. THREE C: I love dressing up for Halloween!

FOUR: I'd rather do math puzzles than read a book. Will's given me shit about that. "Shouldn't you be reading a book?"Kakuro (or Cross Sums) is my number one obsession. Sudoku is ok, but I like the more challenging "Sumdoku", which is a combination of both puzzles, and I've only found that magazine one time. Boo.

FIVE: I've been in VIP sections (and may or may not have done illicit things) in clubs in NYC, the Hamptons, Las Vegas and Miami. Fun times, I tell you.

SIX: I met Rob Van Dam at Jim Hanley's Comic Shop. I said, "Hi, Rob Van Dam!" He was huge-mongous! I also met Chris Benoit at a car show in Atlanta. I have nothing witty to add to that. As a bonus, SIX A is that I collect comics, and SIX B is that Wolverine is my all time favorite superhero, and my comic crush. He's as short as me. SIX C is that I am a comics movie whore, and will see almost any comics-based film except the Spiderman sequels. Did you know they're filming a Wolverine movie?

SEVEN: I love Dave Grohl. I have made Mason love him, too, since "The Pretender" is his favorite song. It's perfect for when I plot Will's death so that Dave Grohl and I can be together and he will easily slip into the "Daddy" role. (Just Kidding Will and Dave Grohl's security people!)

Thanks, Will for helping me with this!

OK, Shelly, Nicole, Irah, Stacie, Jane, Jessica, and Casey, hop to!

College Alum Brunch

I went to a University of Hartford brunch this weekend! I went with Kim, who was my hallmate/roommate/all the time mate all four years of school. We went mostly because it was held at Oystercatchers. They have an AWESOME brunch. If you're ever in or near Tampa on a Sunday, get there!!!

The brunch was nice. They showed us pictures of a bunch of new buildings on campus (they took out the road between the library and the academic buildings!), they didn't ask us for money, and the speeches were short and friendly. Kim and I were the second youngest pair there. There was a nice girl who graduated in 2001 there with her boyfriend. Other than the four of us, it was mainly older people.

Kim and I had fun with each other. AND, we saw Reggie Jackson!!!! That was the coolest part. I said hi as he walked out past our table. He said hi back, and then shook hands with all the men at the table who stood up to greet him! Pretty cool!
