THE DREAM IN ACTION

There’s a little thing going around the blogosphere that is similar to that bad email your mom forwards you. You receive it, read it, know that you’re “supposed” to pass it on but you hesitate to do so, then finally you hit FWD. Well last week I was called out to write the ’7 things you don’t know about me’ post by my sister. She was pegged before that, (3 weeks into her blogging she has over 100 readers, wtf), and now it’s my turn… I apologize in advance to those who don’t like when blogs get personal. So, without further adieu…

7. My favorite movie is ‘Good Will Hunting’. Besides how many times Matt Damon says ‘F%ck’ I think he’s the most bad ass movie character. He’s not only off the charts intelligent, he can seriously kick some ass.

6. I was on the surf team in high school. Many of you played football or maybe chess club, I don’t know. But I was on the surf team. We had bi-monthly competition on Sat/Sun and I was the youngest on the team starting in 7th grade. I was sponsored by a board company and got boards for $100 or less. No I live in Milwaukee, womp womp.

5. I’ve been to Africa. In 2002 I worked at a refugee camp called Kakuma outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Then traveled north to Egypt to see the pyramids and King Tuts Tomb. We also did a safari of the Masai Mara desert and saw all of t big 5.

4. I love shopping at thrift stores. It’s probably one of my favorite past times to shop for clothes at a thrift store and find the deals. I’m not broke, I’m just cheap…get over it.

3. I didn’t get in to USC. I’ve been a Trojan fan since I was probably 9 or 10. I would always go to the USC vs. Notre Dame games with my Dad and his buddies, they would all root for ND and I would always root for SC. Then when I applied to college they were on the top of my list…I wasn’t on the top of there’s. Thus, I ended up at Miami University in OH (I studied Economics) and in hind site, I would do the same thing all over again.

2. I’m a lot Irish. My mother’s maiden name is O’Leary and my father has a significant amount of Irish in his family as well. All I have to say is, yes I can hold my own at the pub and “kiss my blarney stones”.

1. I’m taken. I’ve been dating @mollstar for over 3 years and I’ve never been happier in my life. Our relationship gets more fun and fresher everyday. We refer to ourselves as a team and it couldn’t be more true. I always told myself I would wait for the perfect combo of beauty, intelligence, and class…found it.

Now, I’m supposed to call out 7 other bloggers to do the same type of post. Here goes:
