so my loyal boyfriend and reader eric has recommended that i make my blog a little more personal. up until now, it's really been just a ranting space for all that diabetes stress that jangles around in my head. but due to the fact that i now have an expanding readership (i think more than two people might read this site now!), i am going to take his advice. so there, eric. i listened to you for once.
i thought that a fun way to do this might be to answer some random questions. here we go:
“2 Truths And a Lie” – Share 3 unique things about yourself and your life, 2 of them true, 1 false, and let the group guess which one isn’t true.
i once became so obsessed with the salt n' pepa song "shoop" that i listened to it repeatedly until i had all of the lyrics memorized.
i can whistle the theme song to "the golden girls."
i am a die-hard red sox fan. i usually spend a significant amount of my tax return on tickets.

What super-power would you most like to have, and why?
officemate erin (because of course i am doing this at work) is a comic book afficianado, so i have consulted her. she says that the classic superpowers include: flight, invisibility, super strength, super speed, and of course, laser eyes. none of these appeal to me as much as super speed does. imagine the plays i could run in flag football! and the range that i could have in the outfield! or the fact that i would have been safe at home on monday night, instead of being called out to end the softball game.
If you knew could you try anything and not fail (and money was no object), what dream would you attempt?
no doubt, i would want to be a competitive snowboarder.
Complete the statement “I recommend…” (it can be a show, movie, book, restaurant, website, activity, etc.)
because i have had journey's "don't stop believin'" stuck in my head all week, i recommend watching the sopranos if you never have. or even if you have already. start at season one, episode one, and work your way through the best series ever. it's television crack.
If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
i'm poring over exotic locales, but really keep coming back to my favorite place that is not too far away from here-- martha's vineyard. and honestly, i wouldn't really care too much about that... i would just want to be somewhere where all my friends and family and ice cream were within walking distance.
What cartoon character best describes you?
the gingerbread man from shrek.
What is the silliest prank you ever played on someone?
in college, my friends and i kidnapped a friend's guinea pig while she was away for the weekend and then took him on an adventure through the town of gettysburg. we chronicled the event with photos of renton the guinea pig posed in various locations. we then returned the traumatized pig to his cage and sent pics of the trip to her one by one through campus mail. the best one was of poor renton cradled in the arms of a very serious member of general lee's confederate army.
Are you always early or terminally late?
years of lateness have made me into a chronically and obsessively early person. it's so much easier.
What is your favorite book that you read as a child?
harriet the spy
What is your best memory?
this one is recent. last weekend, i went home to upstate ny for my parents' 30th anniversary. my younger sister and i planned a bunch of activities to celebrate the occasion, including a kayak trip through the park and a dinner out. after the night was over, my dad said that it was one of the best days of his life. because dad doesn't really ever say anything like this, it meant a lot.
