100 things: 1-10, random facts

A couple of blogs that I frequent (and am now trying to comment on because I have my own blog and feel weird about lurking) are doing the random facts thing. #1-7 are taken straight from the e-dating profile and I swear they are all true, as good as they make me sound. ;)

1. I have lived on 3 different continents

2. I have traveled to 2 other continents

3. I have lived in 5 of the 6 New England states

4. I like dogs AND cats. They both have their pluses and minuses - dogs take more work but want to please you. Cat are independent and can be left alone for a long weekend but don't give a crap if you want some love if they aren't interested at the time.

5. I will watch professional sports voluntarily and enjoy doing so. Mostly baseball and football, but I do enjoy watching soccer and of course the Olympics (although, technically that is amateur sports) every time they come around.

6. I like beer. I am a woman and I like beer. I like "real" beer, too, the kinds with flavor.

7. I like to cook, bake, and clean. The cleaning gets really intense if I am stressed out or need to procrastinate.

8. I loved Dawson's Creek, and I'm not afraid to admit it. I also have friends who loved Dawson's Creek and aren't afraid to admit it. I cried when I watch the final episode.

9. I am a middle child and an Aries. I can usually use these two facts to explain my personality - on one hand I like to please people and am the peace-maker that many middle children are; on the other hand, I am extremely independent and opinionated about some things as fiery-tempered Aries supposedly tend to be.

10. Even though I like being active and like watching sports, I do not consider myself very athletic. I was too awkward during those middle school years when people start really getting in to sports, so I tend towards the walking, sometimes jogging, swimming, gym-type things for exercise, rather than team sports.
