Heather Hughes tagged me to come up with 10 random facts about myself. You may remember I did this once before so we'll see how much more creative stuff I can come up with...
1. Aside from being at home with Greta, my dream job would be to be a children's author/illustrator. That, and to be on Broadway just once. Okay, the author thing is more believable because I'm good at making stuff up.
2. I've bitten my nails since I was two. As an incentive my dad always told me he'd give me $100.00 bucks if I grew them out. Finally, the day came when I proudly showed them to my dad and he conveniently "forgot" the deal. So, I'm back to biting.
3. For some reason, I have always been weirdly attracted to the essence of "time". When I was younger and I'd run up to the front door of our house and grab the doorknob I would literally think, "Never again at 2:08 pm on July 2nd, 1993 will anyone ever touch the doorknob but me." I know, I'm weird. Now, I don't do this anymore but it's always pretty amazing to me when things like lunar eclipses or comets come along and it will be like another 73 years till we see it again.
4. I have a recurring dream that I never graduated college. It scares the heck out of me every time.
5. My cousin, Stefanie, and I once got pulled over by an undercover cop when we were riding our mopeds. We were doing figure 8's around each other in the middle of the road (deserted I might add) and the cop just laughed at us when he got a better look at our hogs.
6. On the last day of my freshman year in high school, me and two other friends (you know who you are :)) roller-bladed about 5 miles home. For some reason I remember feeling really cool about myself too.
7. My biggest frustration is to be misunderstood.
8. A fun night to me would be hiding away in the basement looking at family pictures and watching home videos. Better yet, would be making the home videos.
9. I used to pore over my Grandma Batten's bathroom trivia book every time I went over to her house. Did you know that J.C. Penney's middle name was Cash? Or that a baboon can't throw overhand? I know that kind of stuff will come in handy when I'm on Millionaire one day and yes, you can use me as a lifeline if you make it there before me.
10. For probably a month straight Bernie and I would come home from high school every day (my senior year, his sophmore) and watch "SNL's Best of Chris Farley". Holy Canoli!

Impressive that you could come up with 10 more! I was cracking up that you were riding mopeds in figure 8's!
"Lay OFF ME I'm STARVING!!!"
Oh, that big man made me laugh.
I believe the roller blading story. I have never heard the time thing though... that is odd. You have yourself checked out...

remember this moment...remember this moment.... Nat, I love you! You are so stinkin' funny...and I think the best stuff is the self-depriciating humor that you are so good at...
I think you could totally be a children's book author. Write things down now!
