"One out of four people in this country is mentally unbalanced. Think of your three closest friends; if they seem OK, then you're the one." ~ Ann Landers [my friends are all crazy, so that's a relief]

I was tagged by Colleen, a former Masshole (not that she is that, in any sense of the word!) who made the move to VA (as I did) but ended up staying:

Four jobs I've had in my life: A dog & cat groomer, cashier at an AF base commissary, secretary to a 3-star general, helper in a bagel shop

Four movies I could watch over and over: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, Forrest Gump

Four places I've lived: Lowell, MA, numerous times with numerous roommates/boyfriends. Aurora, CO with my first ex husband. Fussa, Japan with my second ex husband. Newport News, VA where I met he who must not be named.

Four TV shows I love to watch: Lost certainly leads the pack, 24 is back on 1/15 and I'm looking forward to it, I also like Supernatural (nice eye candy AND scary stuff) & Medium.

Four places I've been on vacation: Paris, which I expected to not like at all and fell in love with; Edinburgh, which I expected to fall in love with and did; Oahu, where I got to see an old friend from Japan AND each morning, walk across the street from my hotel to a walkway that jutted out into the ocean, sipping my coffee and having my morning spam musubi; and Otaru in Hokkaido, which reminded me of Boston at a time when I was extremely homesick.

Four websites I visit daily: Bloglines, so I can check up on all my favorite blog reads; MoveableType; Google; Gmail.

Four of my favorite foods: Macaroni & cheese, fresh salad with lots of ingredients, pizza, salt & vinegar chips

Four places I'd rather be: Out in the woods with the dogs on a long, long walk; at a warm beach soaking up the sun; having a massage; wandering the streets of Tokyo.

Four albums I can't live without: Albums, eh? Well, I don't listen to my albums anymore, but when I did, here are four I could listen to til the cows came home: The White Album by The Beatles just blew me away; First Time Out by James Montgomery (a local Boston band), Private Lightning by Private Lightning (another Boston band, now defunct), which featured a song called Physical Speed that struck a resounding chord with me; and The Slider by T-Rex.

Four people I'm tagging if they want to be caught: My cousins Maribeth & Melodie, Watergirl & EtherealGirl! Have fun, girls! Mel, you can just do yours in my comments :-)

OMG! I totally remember the Ghost and Mrs. Muir!!!!

Do you remember Orpheus? Also a Boston band. One of the members is now a Hull reporter and who I ran into at the Peace March in the run up to war and he interviewed me. Also, I was THIS close to Steven Tyler in Hingham, but I didn't say anything to him.

Japan sounds very awesome!

You want a massage? I know just the girl...and cheap!

I hope I'm not too boring with my answers but here goes....
Four jobs, Babysitter, teacher's aide in a kindergarten class, teacher's aide in a special needs class and Nursery school teacher.

Four Movies I could watch over and over... I am not much for watching movies over and over again so I like something entertaining and funny mostly like Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Birdcage, Little Women, While you Were Sleeping, and stuff like that.

I have lived in Falmouth, Ma., Quissit, Ma. East Falmouth, Ma., North Haven, Ct.

I am not much on TV either but I do watch House, CSI, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost.

Vacation Places... Hawaii, Puerto Rico, St. Martin, St. Thomas.

websights, this one and Dackel Princess! No others. I don't have time.

No Albums, I like to listen to lots of music and many diferent kinds of music on CD's but no favorites.

Four foods... Eggplant, Apples, Salads, BiBimBop ( a Korean Veg. and noodle dish) Ido love Salt and Vinegar chips too!

Places I'd rather be... The BEACH, The Beach, The Beach, The Beach! I love the woods, streams, hiking trails, rivers too.

That's it I think!

I am in such need of a massage, now that mention it.

i remember the ghost and mrs muir, too! i had a neighbor that was a massuese (sp?) and always offered to massage me... but it just seemed too weird. my dad sold cars to Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Joey Kramer (all jeep cherokees, for their wives) and when i lived down there i'd see Joe Perry at the mall all the time! (fellow ex-Huller here too!)
