Tagged again! (I admit tags are somewhere between cheesy and fun ;) )
5 Fears:
1. The dark. I have an "active" imagination, and I scare kind of easy. When I was a young teenager I once watched my first and last episode of the X-files; it was so freaky I asked my mom sleep in my room for a couple of weeks. It was a really evil episode-- I'll never watch another one again. Bleeeck!
3. Deep water. Wind-surfing sounds like fun, but I don't think I'm likely to ever get on a surfboard.
4. Wolves. Ok, well I'm not really afraid of them anymore, but they were my big fear as a kid. Not the boogie man, or a monster in my closet, wolves. (You'd be amazed how much knot holes in a wooden fence can look like glaring wolf eyes.) I blame a few "children's books" for this. (I don't recommend "Lon Po Po" for kids, I don't care if it won a Caldecott.) I still am not especially fond of the animals.
5. Inflation/rising costs.
Collections/Obsessions:
1. Collection: Books-- I have 5 bookcases of various sizes, and they are now all full!
2. Collection: Blue and white pottery. I love that so many countries of the world have a variation of blue and white pottery. I started this collection when I went to Italy. Happily, my treasures all made it home in one piece. Eventually I'd like to visit and bring home pottery from England, Ireland, The Netherlands, China, Denmark, Belgium, etc.
3. Collection: Snoopy stuff.
4. Obsession: Jane Austen.
5. Obsession: British accents and the men who have them.
Surprising facts:
1. I was 22 before I flew for the first time. (In an airplane--I'm not actually Superman's sister.)
2. I was an English major, but I've never read any Harry Potter, or Twilight, in fact, whenever there is anything that excites mass hysteria, I tend to be repelled. I usually go for the stuff off the beaten path-- I don't like most box-office hit movies, and I don't keep up with trends.
3. I don't particularly like shopping, unless I'm just browsing and not looking for anything in particular. Clothes and shoe shopping are the worst! I like cute clothes, but I HATE looking for them.
4. I assisted officers in a marijuana bust.
5. My earliest memory is from a few days after I turned two.

Okay, that is so funny! When I was a little kid, I was terrified of wolves too! My parents room was right across from mine. I would jump from my bed to the middle of my room {because there were wolves hiding under my bed ready to bite my ankles}, run to the doorway and look up and down the hallway for about 5 minutes, too terrified to go out because although I couldn't see any, they are super fast and could suddenly appear at the end of the hall and get to me before I got to my parent's room. Then when my parents made me go back to bed by myself... that was quite traumatic because jumping from the middle of my room onto my bed was nigh impossible! So funny now when I look back on it, but it was so real when I was a kid.
