Capriccioso

–My birthday is July 5th.  When I tell this to people, the most common response is, “Oh!  That’s the day after the 4th of July!”

–Every day, I go to the random quote of the day on imdb.com’s home page to see if I can place it.

–May 2005 graduate of UNL, with a BME (“Bachelor of Music in Education”) which qualifies me to teach K-12 vocal and/or instrumental music.

–It drives me crazy when people say “hambooger” instead of “hamburger.”

–I would rather be too cold than too hot.

–I’m really bad at lip-reading. People are always trying to tell me something from across a room. Most people get frustrated and give up. This is one area in my life where I’m decidedly below-average. You’re welcome to TRY to tell me stuff, but just keep in mind that I probably won’t understand.

–Raspberry jam is my favorite.

–One time when I was in my grandparents’ back yard, a tree frog dropped from the sky and landed on my head.

–I didn’t pass my driving test the first time I tried.

–My mother and I were independently given the same nickname (“The Ghorms”) by our students.

–I get tired of all the computer graphics in movies today. Sometimes I wish that Hollywood would shoot something *for real,* or find creative alternatives instead of just reverting to their CG artists when faced with something tricky.

–I enjoy DDR and Guitar Hero.

–During a long car trip, in order to stay awake while driving, I told my younger brother the story of “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,” pretty much scene-for-scene.

–I hold my toothbrush with the same grip I use on my viola bow.

–I hate it when people are pretentious.
