Do Re Mi Mi Mi

I have no motivation to post anything hockey related so in the absence of poor hockey talk, you’re going to get a series of about me posts. All the boring drivel you may or may not care to know about me. So let’s start the first post with some basic stuff.

Age: Hitting that scary age mark…no, not 50. But it’s another big -0! Let’s not talk about it. It’s not near, but it’s not too far away either. But just knowing it’s around the corner is scary!!

Height: 5′ 7″. I’m taller than a Kardashian, but shorter than Cindy Crawford.

Hair Color: Dark brown. The hair salon people call it “Level 4″. Like I’m playing Super Mario Brothers 2 or something.

What’s your sign, baby: Gemini. I am a twin. I don’t really get all the astrology stuff, but I do have two different personalities and I go back and forth between them at the snap of a finger, for no real reason. I can be completely fine and then a minute later a switch flips and I can be the meanest and crankiest person ever. Maybe I’m bipolar?

Physical Abnormalities: I have unusually large feet. They are abnormally large, like size 16. Someone has referred to them as my “firm foundation” once. Yeah sure. Either that or I just have ginormous feet.

Birth Marks: I cannot locate one.

Where did you grow up: In same sleepy town I was born in northeast PA.

What was it like: It was a nice little town. I could ride bike (bike riding was my fav!) all day long and my parents didn’t have to worry that I’d be picked up by a weirdo driving around in a child molester van. Who wants candy?! I grew up in a John Cougar Mellancamp song, but if you ever wanted to go to the city, NY and Philly were only a sub-2 hour drive away.

Do you have any siblings: I suffer from only child syndrome. Although I wouldn’t necessarily call it suffering. There are times I wish I had a sibling, but at the same time, I don’t mind being the only child. No, it has nothing to do with getting more presents at holidays and birthdays.

What did you look like: For a long time I had this long, curly dark hair. Then it got cut into this heinous short, Dorothy Hammil looking ‘do, but because my hair was super curly back then it looked like a little white girl fro. I was a normal sized child, not like the kids you see today that could pass for 12 year olds. I also wore my fair share of bad 80′s clothes like sweater vests and light wash denim. Oh yeah, I rocked those. I even remember I had this jumper that was knit, like leggings, but it had suspenders. Oy.

What is your best memory of childhood? Worst?: Best memory is summertime. The routine was, get up, eat breakfast, watch cartoons and then spend the day riding bike or going to the library. You’d go in for lunch and leave again. Come back in later in the afternoon to watch cartoons again. Worst memory…can’t really say I have any horrible childhood memory.

Did you have a nickname: I have no original nickname. Seriously. I know, I’m not that cool.

Education: I was a public school kid and then when I finally got out of that place I attended a halfway decent university that is one of US News and World Report’s top 50 national universities. I majored in biological science. Yeah, I know it’s weird, but I loved it.

That’s it for the basics. Later sports fans.
