- I’m a military brat (My mom was a nurse in the Army and served for 21 years. She retired as a Lieutenant Colonel here in Alaska. I am very proud of her).

- I was born in Belgium.

- I grew up in Texas and Louisiana but mostly Hawaii and Alaska.

- We moved to Florida for a year but came back to Alaska because we missed it (and our friends).

- When I was 12 I wanted to have my own all-girl band and call it Rapture.

- I used to open up my window when I lived on base in Honolulu and belt out songs with my karaoke machine to the teenagers who would pass by. And then I would hide when they looked up.

- For some reason I am intrigued by the whole military lifestyle. Probably because I grew up with it and am so used to it. And I love guys in uniform and wouldn’t mind having one for myself. Haha.

- My favorite color is lilac or light purple.

- I’m a freethinker and have atheist and agnostic views. I just can’t seem to choose which one I label myself as more.

- I am very liberal.

- I knit. When I’m in the mood.

- I’m a Harry Potter fanatic and like to knit Harry Potter things.

- I love cemeteries.

- I love horror movies.

- I love frogs and I own 2 Golden Tree Frogs. My son Forrest named them Velociraptor and Gary (after Spongebob’s pet snail).

- I love candles. Soy candles are best though.

- I’m a singer.

- I’ve been in some singing competitions, including American Idol in ’04.

- I love the 1940′s era. Especially the music.

-Plumeria is my favorite flower.

- I love lattes.

- I’m an organ and tissue donor.

- I love Clove gum.

- I want to learn the dance to Thriller and perform it with a bunch of people one day.

- I used to be a vegetarian.

- I pick stuff up with my feet instead of my hands all the time.

- I’ve had my nose pierced 3 times. This third time seems to be the charm because it’s healing quite nicely.

- I want a Micro-dermal piercing on my upper cheek near my eye…but no more piercings after that.

- I have 3 tattoos my friend did when we were 18 and drunk. I vow one day to have them all removed and/or covered with a new tattoo.

- I am a Pole Dance teacher and teach basic moves at pole parties for my business Sassy Pole Diva (and to answer the universal question most people ask me – yes I do have one set up in my dining room ).
