Tag...I'm it!

I was tagged by my beautiful sister to list seven things that people might not know about me. It was hard but here you go!:

1. I love yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I don't know what it is about this yummy dessert but I would take it over any other dessert offered to me. But it has to be moist! (That one's for you Shelley :op)

2. I love to travel! It doesn't matter if I'm going on a road trip or to another country it's all an adventure. I have a goal to fill up my passport by the time it expires in 2009. So far I've been to Ecuador, London, Guatemala and El Salvador. Next summer I'd like to go to either Italy, France or Germany. Guess I better start saving my $$$. ;op

2. I have a few weird pet peeves: a) I HATE sour dish rags. I think it's SO gross when the kitchen smells like them. I hate them so much that if I have my choice I never use them. It's all about 409 and paper towels (I know save a tree!). b) I can't stand it when people follow too closely behind other cars and I'm in the passenger seat. It freaks me out and I have to close my eyes!

3. I have recently gained a passion for working out. I used to hate working out even though I knew it was good for me, but last year I decided I needed to get my butt in gear so I used some of my student loan to join 24 hour fitness and I got a personal trainer. Now I love it! I have gone to the gym so much that I feel guilty if I don't make it to the gym at least 5 days a week. I know it sounds crazy but it's true and I feel great!

4. I LOVE food! This would be the reason I wrote #3. :o) Really though, I will try anything once and I'm usually not disappointed. Sure there are things that I don't care for that others like but I like trying new exotic foods. My new favorite is Indian food. My most favorite however will always be Mexican food. I could eat Mexican everyday and not get sick of it. Yummmmm! I'm hungry.

5.I love to make people laugh. I like to do impersonations, tell jokes or just be silly to get a reaction from people. Nothing feels better than being with friends and family and laughing until your sides hurt. Maybe that's why I like performing so much. I love to see other people having a good time.

6. I've always wanted to learn to dance. I think that dancers are so graceful and they always look like they are having so much fun. I never thought I was the dancer type but I decided I was tired of wanting and decided to take a a risk and take a tap class this semester at a local theater. It was hard but really fun! I'm glad I did it and hope to take some other dance classes soon.

7. I love singing and performing! This one is probably pretty obvious but it's true. I love everything about it! The rehearsals (as exhausting and frustrating as they can be), the costumes, the make-up, the lights the music etc. I love to take people on a journey and make them laugh and cry and forget about life for a while. It's an escape for both the audience and the performer. All of us have wanted to know what it would be like to be someone else for a little while. I get that luxury everyday as I become a new character. I think I have the greatest job in the world! (Well hopefully it will actually become a job after graduation next year :op)

Now I would like to tag three people: My long-time, adventurous, spontaneous best friend Stephanie, my beauiful cousin Alli and my hard-working, can-do-anything-he-sets-his-mind-to Dad! (Guess someone should tell him how to post on his blog! Mom give him a hand!):o)

THIS JUST IN!: I just found out that Stephanie was already tagged. In that case I choose my hard working brother Mike! Good luck!
