Onward Hoe!

Megan ripped this off from someone else's blog, and now I'm stealing it from her. Read and learn, people.

10 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME
1. I have a small unnecessary obsession with Clay Aiken.
2. I’ve always wanted to be able to play the bass guitar.
3. I'm not really sure what color my hair is any more, but I think right now it's close to natural.
4. I love to talk on the phone (my cell phone bill from last month is proof).
5. Believe it or not, I'm an introvert.
6. I like to make up new words to existing songs.
7. Mary Kay is the best thing that ever happened to my face.
8. I can't stand the sound/feel of cheap pencil lead scribbling.
9. My favorite soda is banana Tropical.
10. The last CDs I bought were Elton John's greatest hits 2 disc collection. And might I just add that it's glorious.

9 WAYS TO WIN MY HEART
1. Call me for no apparent reason.
2. Dance with me (bonus points for knowing how to shag).
3. Italian food...a pasta primavera is always nice.
4. Read me a story.
5. Fix stuff.
6. Send me mail. I'm with Megan on this one. Good thinking.
7. Remember the little details I share with you. Then ask about them three weeks later. Yeah, that’s a good one. Totally.
8. Talk to me about God. Challenge me with your example.
9. Write me a song. Sing it to me. It doesn't even have to be that good. But bonus points if it is. And extra bonus points if you accompany yourself. And you're the hands down winner if it's a good song, well-executed, accompanied by you on a grand piano while I lay on top in an evening gown.

5. Customers who treat me like I must be learning impaired just because I work in retail. Really, I'm kinda smart sometimes. A couple of accredited universities thought so at least.
6. dropped phone calls
7. when you're flipping through the radio stations trying to find something to listen to, and apparently ALL of the stations have decided to go on commercial break simultaneously.
