Here are 8 random facts about me that you may or may not know about me...


1. I was a "rides hostess" at Six Flags Great America. It was my summer job in HS and in college. I didn't have the glamorous job of roller coaster, we had the smaller (meaning, lamer) rides like the merry go round.

2. I have a brother who is gay...I was a little annoyed that even in this, he had to copy me!

3. I used to collect stamps. (Did I admit to that? )

4. When I was in the 6th grade I was involved in the "great taffy apple robbery". A couple of incorrigible 6th graders in my class stole a box of taffy apples from our school fundraiser and distributed the booty to all the class. Our priest Fr. O'Connell (yes, I was in a CATHOLIC school) found out and shamed us only a catholic would, invoking mary and the angels. The next day, I confessed my sins, in darkened confessional and asked for forgiveness. The priest (Fr. O'Connell, who else!) told me that my penance was 25 hail mary's and send anonymously the price of the total apples I took. So the next day, I took my borrowed 2 dollars (I gave a little extra, because I was really sorry) and sent the money in a envelope to the church with a note signed "anonymous" with my return address.(LOL) Thus, ended my life in crime.

5. I read entertainment weekly in the bathroom.

6. One of my guilty pleasures are james bond films.

7. I used to watch the 700 Club stoned.

8. When I was 7 years old, I had the biggest crush on Olivia Newton John. (the 70's -have -you-ever-been-mellow-version, not the recent botox version)
