TAG

My sister-in-law just posted this tag, and I thought it'd be fun to do too! So, here goes:

Rules Once Tagged:
1) Link to the person who tagged you
2) Post the rules on your blog.
3) Write 6 random things about yourself (see below).
4) Tag 6 people at the end of your post.

1) I want to own a pig someday. (Slowly, through the course of my life, I have come to realize that I LOVE pigs. When I see them in movies or pictures, I squeal with delight at just how cute they are--their wiggly noses, floppy ears, little snorts, and the funny way they run...they just get me! So, when our kids are old enough, we're going to own a pot-bellied pig and a basset hound, and let them run around, squealing and barking, in our back yard.)

2) When I was younger (after the age of six when I thought it would be cool to work at McDonald's, and the age of 9 when I wanted to be either a professional ice skater or gymnast), I had a dream of being a National Geographic's photographer. I remember pinning an article about women photographers on my wall and thinking "Someday, that's going to be me."

3) I've had my ears pierced three times. (My mom had my ears pierced first when I was in elementary school, and not being completely responsible then, I let them close in--twice. The third and final time I got my ears pierced, I did it to support a friend who was getting it done for the first time (who I lied to and said it didn't hurt that bad). At the shop, the piercer? asked me if I would like them to put a new hole in my right ear, as the current hole was too far to the outside; I said sure. So, I now have 2 holes in my right ear, including the old one, which, to my dismay, hasn't closed since.)

4) My junior year, I won my school district's JV track and field championships in both shot put and discus--the only time I've ever won a blue ribbon in a sporting event.

5) I'm obsessed with Jane Austen novels. I own almost all of her books, 4 versions of the movie Pride and Prejudice (P&P), a BBC collection of movies based on her books, 2 copies of the movie Emma, and have read a spin-off series of her book P&P. I even once corrected one of my college professors who misquoted P&P in class. My latest obsession with it is visiting Austen-era grand homes in England (which I have been recently researching), and the city Bath (which was mentioned in several of her novels).

6) I'm a sucker for Scottish accents. Ever since I was a kid I've liked them (which led to my initial fascination with Sean Connery, and later crush on Gerard Butler). I don't know what to tell ya; they just do it for me.
