5 Things About Average Jane

Since I’m up at 8 a.m. on Christmas Eve Eve, I might as well do an extra blog post, no? Yvonne has tagged me for this meme that’s been making the rounds of marketing and business blogs lately:

5 things you probably don’t know about me:

1. I almost never watch dramas or "serious" movies. Real life is serious and dramatic enough! I prefer comedy, science fiction/fantasy, action/adventure and kids’ movies. The only exception is that I have been seeing a lot of documentaries lately, mostly about the environment.
2. Even though my iTunes library is jam-packed with heavy metal music, I still have a soft spot for the music I grew up with, particularly anything sung by Julie Andrews. A friend gave me a Julie Andrews CD at my bridal shower as a joke and didn’t quite know how to react when it became clear that I loved it.
3. I originally named my oldest cat "Galileo," but I kept forgetting what I’d decided to call him (Copernicus?), so I ended up switching his name to "Kato."
4. I still have all of my Nancy Drew and Oz books from childhood and I’m looking forward to sharing them with my niece when she’s older.
5. My favorite places to shop are Lowe’s and Home Depot. If money were no object, I’d remodel my whole house, inside and outside, until everything was exactly the way I want it.

So I suppose it’s my turn to tag some people. I guess I’ll go for Pharmgirl, Cagey, Dorothy, Goofy Girl and Jeremy.

Speaking of meme-like activities, check out Lazy Eye Theatre’s Plot Generator 1.0. Take the ten words and phrases he supplies and use them to write a paragraph or two describing a movie you could make. I’m still thinking about it…
