Today is a pretty busy day, so I'll just throw up an old post that I never put up. Go ahead and steal it for your own site - I stole it from Mel's site a long time ago.
Five Things You May Not Know About My Time in School
- I was the drum major when I was in marching band
- I went to an all girl catholic school, but our band consisted of boys from our brother catholic school
- I was Vice President of the Math club - because that office really didn't do anything
- I came in 3rd in State for my division for speech making and essay writing
- I went to homecoming with this really nice guy that I liked, had the time of my life, and he never talked to me afterwards.
Five Things You May Not Know About the Job/s I Have (or Had)
- I used to work at a liquor distributing company in college. as a perk, I got to meet Captain Morgan and we got our alcohol wholesale.
- I worked at the airport during the soccer world cup and met people from all over the world.
- I've worked for the same company for the last 7 and a half years of my life
- I bartended private parties in college. I would make extra money when underage drinkers would give me $10 dollar tips to give them drinks.
- My first job was working for the summer program for the city of Chicago, testing underprivileged kids to give them summer jobs. It was the best job I ever had because we gave these kids the coolest jobs as artists, tutors, guides, and let them see that their lives could be so much more.
Five Things You May Not Know About My Online Life:
- I've had a web page since 1995.
- I have met at least 40 people who I've known online first - and not one of them has tried to kill me....yet
- As much as I hate to admit it, I'm really obsessive with my referral logs and who comes to the site
- The best way to get a hold of me isn't through the phone - it's through e-mail.
- Having a blog is the way I keep in touch with friends and family, because I never use the phone.
Five Things You May Not Know About Where I Live:
- Chicago is the 4th fattest city in the US, and I'm damn proud of it.
- I've been to 46 of the 50 states, and there is no other city that I have found to be cleaner, friendlier, more beautiful or as charming as Chicago.
- I actually live in a suburb of Chicago now, and it breaks my heart that I'm out of the city.
- The best time to come to Chicago is a week before the 4th of July, when we have our Taste of Chicago
- Chicago fans are the best out there - our teams play like shit, and we still love them. Most of the time.
Five Things You May Not Know About My Home Life:
- We've got a pool table and a wet bar with a tap in the basement
- Dave and I have different schedules - he leaves really early in the morning, I come home 2 hours later than he does (most nights)
- Dave drives my car and I drive his - his car has more miles and I only have to drive a couple miles to the train.
- I'm finnicky about how I feed the fish. I usually like being the only one to feed them.
- It doesn't matter if I mop the floors - Dave will always re-do it after me.
Five Things You May Not Know that I Desperately Want:
- A new desktop computer- the one I have is SUPER slow
- An entertainment system and living room set for the basement - it's going to be our home theater down there
- Money. Having a husband with medical school bills is a killer.
- For this whole Red state vs. Blue state crap to end. It's so tiring
- Kids. Eventually. Not necessarily right now.
Five Embarrassing Fannish Admissions I Have That You May Not Know:
- I once wrote a letter to all the New Kids on the Block, one page for each of them
- I gave my business card to an athlete once
- I was called a 'predator' once by someone's family member - affectionately...I think
- Several times when meeting someone I was a fan of I had lost the ability to speak and make eye contact
- My best fan moment? Being on the same plane as an artist that I'm a fan of, then realizing that once he got off the plane he waited for me to walk with me to the baggage claim. Ultra fan-giddiness!
Five Things You May Not Know About What I Do in a Typical Day:
- I snooze at least 4 times
- I have a special process when I feed my fish - I worry when anyone else does it
- I work on my webpage or future posts on my laptop when I'm on the train
- I'm sleepy in the afternoon, awake late at night
- I try not to eat anything after 8pm.
Yano I love the way you keep changing your blog. Like Mike Koorman's hair...lol. Do this BEFORE you have those children 'cause then ya won't have time :)

Posted by: maria on February 8, 2005 04:30 PMthe best way to reach me is also through email. :) i don't even know what you do, but if you've been there 7 years, you're practically married to the place. must be a good sign.
i heard chicago's too dangerous for me. :P so you'd better mention more nice things about the place.
Posted by: suki on February 9, 2005 01:18 AMSusanG - I'll make sure to make up a lot of layouts as backup for when that happens.
Maria - Thank you for stopping by!
Suki - Chicago's a GREAT place. There are so many fun things to do and the food is INCREDIBLE. I travel all the time and I haven't seen a city that even holds a candle to Chicago. Of course, I'm biased.
