Top 6 List

Since Natalie tagged me and Amanda and Diania keep reminding me of this fact, here are six things about me for your reading pleasure:

1. In my opinion, macaroni and cheese (and not of the Kraft variety) is probably the best thing ever invented. Especially from Noodles & Co., although the mac & cheese Diania made for our work Halloween party may be my new favorite.

2. I've had front row seats at Late Show with David Letterman--twice. I know the system of how to get good seats, so if you're ever in NYC with a ticket to see my favorite funnyman, give me a holla'. As a bonus fact, I used to have a huge crush on Letterman when I was a kid. I have NO idea why, but I used to tell my mom I was going to marry him someday.

3. Things pointed at my eyes are not my friends. I have a very strange phobia about having something pointed at my eyes. This includes upside-down pencils (mid-erase), optometry equipment and red hot pokers.

4. I get more excited than a person should over dessert. I almost never turn it down. Actually, I don't think I have ever turned it down. One dessert highlight includes a particular high school Friday night when
Jill & I bought a German chocolate cake from the Smith's bakery and ate the whole thing by ourselves.

5. I have a fear of fish, but only in lakes. I am SCUBA certified and have gone diving in the ocean without being scared but the thought of jumping into a lake seriously makes my skin crawl.

6. In homage to
Amanda's fascinating childhood injury story, I once cut my head open, requiring a trip to the ER and a lovely row of stitches, by falling on a notebook. This story is to help just in case you were on the fence about whether or not I really am/was the world's biggest nerd. Since I loved school supplies so much, I wouldn't part with my new notebook. So 6-year-old me, clad in my best leggings and favorite Cabbage Patch Kids sweatshirt, followed my parents into our neighbor's house, tripped over their broom and fell smack onto my sprial-bound notebook. I'm still scarred, and not just on my head.

Now I tag Abby, Ali, Aubrey, Maegan, Teri & Sarah. Ready... Go!

Dude, I so already filled out this tag! I didn't tag you because I saw that you had already been tagged, but if you want I can make up some interesting stuff about myself and do it again.

I was tagged like eight million years ago, long before you entered the blogosphere. Should I do it again anyway?

A spiral notebook? Hahahahaha! Who knew school supplies (and, in my case, furniture) were so dangerous!? Just another case for home schoolin' - can't hurt yourself too badly on the family couch.

Miranda will you please wear the leggings and cabbage patch sweat shirt next time we get together? Call me before hand so I can wear mine and we can be twins!

Teri said...

I love the injury story. I am going to try and one-up-you on that, but it's going to be hard!

I even love Kraft Mac and Cheese. I could eat it everyday and be happy.

Justin and Jill said...

German chocolate cake is still my favorite dessert, although I haven't devoured a whole one since the good old days! You and Jackson could go out to dinner since mac-n-cheese is his favorite too...could Zack create a mac and cheese pizza?
Well, nothing is better than a "Miranda falling" story. I like to picture the frequent falls down the stairs. Thanks for the laugh!

Oh Miranda...I wish we were BFF's back in the day. I mean, you weren't cool if you didn't have a Cabbage Patch sweatshirt. I love it!!! Thanks for the great laugh!
