I notice a midwestern theme in your places you've lived section. :)
Totally. Could I be more non-confrontational? Or eat more cheesy casseroles (I'm not from the part of the Midwest that calls it "hot dish")? Or have a more typical American accent?
No.
I agree with most of your list. I think my millionaire 5 are the same as yours (although location of Far Off Land in my case would vary).
Although my snack choices have drifted somewhat... cheese and cheese-flavored, chocolate and chocolate-flavored... ahh, yes that was grad school.
"Watching Austin Powers at least once a week"
surely, you must be kidding?
I think I watched Wayne's World at least once a week!
I was also a 1-hour photo tech throughout high school =)
Dude, HGG, Austin Powers is HILARIOUS. Have you no sense of funny? Albatross agrees, no?
Also, my next door neighbor in the dorm owned a copy and we didn't have many other movie choices on hand.
I like that, unsolicited advice-giver as a job! Now, if we could only get paid for doing that job.
I have many times been an Unsolicited Advice Giver. It's a noble profession.
YAY! I *love* this meme. I really like your #5 job....I should really add that to my CV! :-)
