37 things about me

A friend wrote 38 facts about herself in honor of her birthday. My birthday was last September turning 37, so I give 37 things about me. 1 Angelina Jolie and Drew Barrymore were born the same year I was. 2 My favorite flavor is butterscotch. 3 My celebrity crush is Brad Pitt. 4 I was almost kidnapped twice, age 5 at a mall and age 11 in my backyard. 5 I like to sing to myself whether people or cats want to listen to it. 6 I have 2 cats and 11 fish. 7 I wanted a dog since I was a kid and held my aunts' dogs close to my heart. 8 I have had asthma since junior high. 9 I love ballet and skateboarding more than anything, and gave both up when I went to college. 10 I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Liberal Studies with a History Major. 11 My childhood hero is Madonna because she never apologized for being herself. 12 I met Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue when I hit him with a door when leaving a gift shop (my friend Ryan nearly fainted when I presented his autograph on a postcard for him). 13 I almost married a man trying to prove he wasn't gay and my sister talked me out of it (she said I didn't love him). 14 I never worked a job I truly loved and just did it for money (and nobody else would hire me). 15 My wildest dreams as a kid was to be an actress or astronaut. 16 My wildest dreams as an adult is to come home to a family living in a house. 17 I could not whistle until I wore a retainer at age 12-13. Now I can whistle 2 notes. 18 I could never be a vegan, I hate vegetables. 19 I have angels around my apartment to remind me that lost loved ones are not so far away. 20 I painted my own Christmas village. 21 I love the sound of a guitar because a grandma used to play one. 22 I once ate lunch by the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France and saved the Coke can printed in French. And if return, I want to see Versailles. 23 I save ticket stubs to movies, plays, concerts, etc. 24 I hum music from Georges Bizet's "Carmen" when I cook, put up decorations, etc. 25 I collect coins and oldest one is from 1908. 26 My favorite cartoon is Calvin and Hobbes cause I was a kid with a wild imagination. 27 I may claim to be an atheist, but refuse to give up candy canes and chocolate eggs. 28 I put vanilla, cinnamon, & powdered sugar in my French toast milk and eggs mixture. 29 I like wearing high heels to feel taller. 30 My favorite song of all time is Pour Sugar on Me by Def Leppard. 31 I talk to my cats and fish. They stare back at me. 32 I like to paint landscapes, but terrible at portraits. 33 I never learned to ride a bicycle. 34 I enjoy dressing up in costumes for Halloween. 35 If my jobs (or family) didn't forbid it: I would have pink hair. Or dark purple. 36 I let my cats eat people food off my plate. 37 I am the master of weird dreams.
