Taken from the Cape Cod Ferry. Martha’s Vineyard. Fall 2006.
It was inevitable. I’ve been ‘tagged.’ I was tagged by Susan (all the way back in May- Sorry!) to tell 7 random things about myself. So without further ado:
1) My whole life, I always wanted to work at a
grocery store (and still do). When I was 7, I made this elaborate
grocery store set up in our play room complete with register &
scanner. I just like scanning things. Self check-out? Brilliant. I love how cashiers
just sort of throw item’s over the scanner & somehow, someway, they
get rung up. I can’t do it with such grace (like I always dreamed I
would) I’m always turning items over like 100x looking for the
bar-code.
2) I love cash registers. It’s the cashier in me. I just
love pressing buttons. And peoples’. And scanning things. Mom said when
I was a kid they also bought me a change belt (you know, that dispenses
coins & stuff). Sadly, I have no recollection of this and can only
imagine how cool I must have looked with that thing strapped on,
ringing things into my little cash register.
3) I just asked Chris and he said, "You walk slow". This, I cannot deny. And he says I am a "sad story monger." This is true. One too many times these words have come out of my mouth, "Do you want to hear the saddest thing???" To which he now replies, "No."
4)
I always wanted a smile like Whitney Houston’s. You know the kind of
smile where the corners of your mouth stretch back to your molars and
it looks like you have a dozen more teeth than the average human.
That’s something I always wanted.
5) I love dill pickles.
When I was a kid, my grandma used to buy me these huge vats of pickles
from downtown LA. and I would eat them for weeks. I think one year she
even gave them to me for Christmas. I couldn’t have been more pleased.
I am very picky about my pickles. I don’t care for sweet, but LOVE
Claussen.
6) I love music, but I am picky. (Chris denies this all
because of the one time he got in the car after I had been driving it and Bette Midlers, "The Rose" was playing on a radio station I had been listening to. Hey I can’t control what they play. I’m never living it down. What was
I doing in the first place listening to a station called the Heart?) I’m not so much a fan
of main-stream stuff, and my preference has no rhyme or reason. I’m
cah-razy for music from the 40’s. "4" is my favorite station on XM
Satellite Radio, but also LOVE The Trashcan Sinatra’s, am quite fond of
Saint Etienne and am quickly becoming a fan of Fuguyi & Miyage.
7)I love dark chocolate, black licorice and I wish that Diet Coke could be fed to me intravenously.
Phew. That was more than seven. I couldn’t stop myself. Feel like you know me any better? I didn’t think so. No mocking will be tolerated, especially in regards to anything having to do with supermarkets or said employees.
