just because

i have accomplished nothing this weekend. so instead of a) writing lesson plans, b) correcting papers, c) sorting through the large cardboard box of papers taking up room on the floor, i'm going to write. i've seen this on multiple blogs. i think these types of things are fun.

4 jobs i've had:
1.) intern at the Marine Corps Archives (a.k.a. "person who gets paid to talk to adorable old men")
2.) summer camp counselor (isn't spending rainy nights in the woods with 15 year old girls so much fun?)
3.) intern at the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution (adventures in commuting)
4.) wardrobe department supervisor (this isn't so much a job as a soul-sucking obsession)

4 movies i could watch over and over:
1.) animal house (always makes me laugh)
2.) when harry met sally (how many relationships have i had like this?)
3.) singin' in the rain (or: how gene kelly sparked my love for all things musical)
4.) top gun (dress whites, fighter pilots, southern california, tom cruise, val kilmer, no shirts...sigh...)

4 places i've lived:
1.) monterey, california (where i first learned that mountains can meet the sea)
2.) idaho falls, idaho (where i first saw a volcano)
3.) newport, rhode island (where i first rode a bike)
4.) norfolk, virginia (where i first realized boys don't have cooties)
is it sad that this is the seriously abridged list?

4 shows i love:
1.) M*A*S*H (i want to marry hawkeye pierce)
2.) the andy griffith show (i will forever be indebted to my parents for raising me on this show)
3.) CSI (i've always been hooked on mysteries)
4.) gilmore girls (what can i say? they have a lot of very hot men chasing them)

4 places i've vacationed:
1.) london, england (i can not begin to express how in love with this city i am)
2.) venice, italy (gorgeous men, amazing food, beautiful sunsets)
3.) sunset beach, north carolina (every other childhood memory involves this island)
4.) san francisco, california (the city by the bay...what a place)

4 favorite dishes:
1.) my granddaddy's cornbread (which is not supposed to have sugar, people)
2.) my grandma's coconut cake (the highlight of christmas)
3.) my mama's chicken pie (best food i've ever had)
4.) chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream (when you eat as much of this as i do, it is considered a dish)

4 sites i visit daily:
1.) facebook.com (why must i waste so much time on you, why?)
2.) addictinggames.com (the name does not lie)
3.) webmail (the joy of being at a high school all day)
4.) various assorted blogs (isn't stalking fun?)

4 places i'd rather be:
1.) london (see previous mention)
2.) north carolina (yeah, so family is a little important to me)
3.) hollywood, california (here's to living your dreams)
4.) the florida keys (it's warm there. current temperature here is approximately 9 degrees without the wind chill. it's warm there.)
