1. I have a cat named Tazmo. He's an interesting fellow, different from other cats. He's a little over one years old and has white fur with dark spots on his back, black tail and one eye is surrounded by a dark brown patch. He sometimes will wake me up in the morning with his meows and he follows me to the bathroom, jumps on my lap and just sits there. But other times when I try to pick him up he won't let me and gets mad. He's one silly, sweet, cute, and scardy-cat.

13. I don't mind gays or lesbians. They don't choose their sexual preference, and I don't believe there's one lifestyle that describes the group. How can there be, when we're all so different?

28. I played golf all my years of high school, but never got that good. It didn't matter though because I still got a $5,000 scholarship from Pebble Beach Jr. Golf Association.

32. I haven't watched much TV since mid-March and I don't mind at all.
33. I like Rite Aid's ice cream because it's low cost and delicious.

67. My American Idol Story::
Summer 2001, 1st season of American Idol. I went to LA on Tuesday with my mom and a friend with the intention to watch performance that night (it was the day before Ryan Starr was kicked off). What I wasn't counting on was the two hour traffic getting in so we got there around 5 and of course it was full but one of the people at the gate asked if I was a contest winner. Being too damn honest, I said no. I could've taken a subtle quick look at the list and said a name. But I still had fun that night, touring the city. The next day we ent earlier, and went through the long line (good thing I was with someone named Landen, someone I met through the person we went to LA with), got closer and closer, more adn more excited. Finally, the line people told us, three people ahead of Landen and I "No more room." We could get VIP tickets but I never really get down to LA, especially not on school night so I felt a great sense of loss and couldn't help the tears starting to fall. Other people noticed, found out I was from Monterey, 6 hours away and rallied to let one more person in, just one more. The main guy finally asked if I wanted a tour of the set and of course I agreed so he took me in, then added a seat for me third row, on the right side! It was amazing. Everyone looked so much better in person, Justin Gaurini caught my eye and during one of the breaks Paula Abdul walked hastily past our row and when I saw her, I was so suprised I called out, "Paula!" She smiled and answered, "Hi sweetie..."
68. I like the Impressionists style of painting best.
69. I hate the "life is a game" analogy.
70. When I was 16 ::
I had a 20 something internet boyfriend who was going to college in Chicago. DC looked like Joshua Jackson (but cuter) but his personality was more like Dawson Leery. Sweet, romantic, movie-maker, deeply intelligent, just, caring, naughty, wicked perfect for me, ... Broke it off after 5 months because of circumstances. To this day, I have not found someone like him.
