Five things you don't know about me...
Posted by Jess in
Day to Day
Ed started it, and the meme's going around. Greyhawk tagged me, so now it's my turn. I have NO idea if these are things you don't know about me. My blog hasn't exactly been my life under lock-and-key, and I chat with you all regularly, so who knows. :-)
1. I'm quite good at interior decorating. I've been known to paint a lot of my own furniture at the drop of a hat when I feel like changing the look of a room, and I've been told I have a good eye for color and accessorising.
2. I was a good musician before college. My brother and dad are both musicians, and I always had a music studio available to use in my basement growing up. I wrote my own songs on the keyboard, and my brother introduced me to the music of the keyboard legends themselves, Rick Wakeman of Yes and Keith Emerson of ELP - I've been a fan ever since hearing them. I played the Fur Elise at my middle school graduation. I had a small band in college before the damned schoolwork made playing next to impossible. Though I still own one, I haven't touched the keyboard since.
3. I am on the Advisory Council and volunteer many hours a month for SHO, a non-profit that partners volunteers with needed agencies. I also run their computer network on a volunteer basis.
4. Matt and I met by literally bumping into each other in the hallway in our dorm freshman year at college. We stayed up all night talking, and have never been apart since that day, except for the first Lotusphere I went to, and his trip to Japan a few years ago.
5. At least once a month I get a marriage proposal in jest from both strangers and people I already know. They usually come after I've done one of the following: belch, spit, flash my d20 dice pendant, ask if a movie is available in Letterbox, DTS or
Superbit, talk about my dream to have a band called "Checksum", or fix their computer for them. Sigh.
Next victims? I tag Jonvon, Bruce, Julian, and of course Matt, who hasn't posted in about a year, so he's due!

Matt wasn't with you when we had that drink at Penn Station.
Or... was he?
Or wait... did he not know about that!??!
Smartass!! LOL, okay, so few days in NYC for a ND6 upgrade seminar... :-)
WTF! You tell me everything and you neglect to tell me this?! If that guy is speaking at the sphere I WANT YOU NO WHERE NEAR HIS SESSION! If he buys me some sushi however, I may make an exception.
:-D

So it's not just me that's attracted to woman with these qualities you explain. On one of our first dates, my wife cut the cheese really loud on a rock we were sitting on. Blew me away. :) Of course, she's held them all in ever since that day.
Sounds like Jim Carey in "Dumb and Dumber" when he asks Mary Swanson, "What was all that One in a Million talk?" after she's reunited with her husband. It's a stretch to call you a tease with spitting and belching. (or in my wife's case, farting). Men are not complicated.
i DID know you could sing, but didn't know about the keyboard.
i'm not going to ask you to marry me. i am in awe of your mad skillz, however.
i might ask nathan for free sushi though. hey, you never know...
