Twenty Random Facts about me (inspired by silentauror) .

 

1.) I like asparagus and brussel sprouts but hate carrots and peas. I like to think that this translates to "I like quirky not run-of-the-mill" but some people think this is just odd.

2.) I'm basically an accountant but I'm not good at math. (I fell into the accounting world but I'm not very good at it.)

3.) #2 leads into fact #3 - I've had 5 majors at three different colleges/universities. I still don't have a degree after 10 1/2 years since I graduated high school. (fyi - my majors were Astronomy/Physics (bad at math, remember?), Interdisciplinary studies, Geology and Planetary Sciences, History/Political Science and finally, Marketing)

4.) I love languages and speak enough to get by for Spanish and French. I'm currently teaching myself Russian. Because of silentauror, I plan on learning Arabic soon. If you haven't read it, go check out her brilliant fic Old City Jasmine.

are you allowed to model if you are short? i mean no disrespect, just sayin, 'cause i thought one had to be tall and willowy [*is surprised*]

my favorite random fact is #7, and not just because i used to be a cheesecake addict in my youth.

No disrespect taken... that was my basic assumption too. I modeled petite clothes. I modeled runway stuff for stores at malls and petite designers, and also did the Penney's catalog, and assorted ads. They need all heights for the catalogs and ads especially.

Of course, this was back when I was in shape and had muscle definition and stuff.

It's a surprising business about the cheesecakes. People don't realize how easy they are to make... they just take alot of time. I like it because I make, in profit, about 10 to 15 dollars a cheesecake.
