1) I have two tattoo's on my lower back. I already have my next 3 planned. Whether or not I get them is another matter. The first one I got was the dolphin yin/yang. I was 27 and was either going to get a tat or get my belly button pierced. I decided to get a tat. It hurt like a you-know-what! Got it in the middle of my lower back. I modified it from a design I saw elsewhere and brought the drawing in so that the artist could use it. My second tat I got when my dear friend and critique partner Amy Edwards (she's published now! Go Amy!) had hers done. THis one didn't hurt hardly at all. It's a four leaf clover. A symbol of good luck and prosperity. The four leaves symbolize Faith, Hope, Love and Luck. I have a cross for Faith, my "N" (Nicole) for hope, "E" (Emily) for Love and I have the Luck part blank b/c I don't really believe in Luck. I believe in Providence. Here are pics of my tats.
2) Steak and potatoes are my favorite meal. But then again you probably already knew that.
3) I grew up driving a stick/standard car, started at the age of 14. Didn't own an automatic until 2001.
4) I am a minivan mom.
5) I am an only child. My mom was unable to have children and my parents adopted me at birth.
6) I love musicals. Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Oklahoma and Sound of Music are among my favorites.
7) I have only been truly in love twice in my life.
8) I was serenaded once at a frat party. It was very sweet and surprisingly, the guys could sing very good.
9) The worst burn I ever got was when I went tubing in New Braunfels. I thought, "Well only be out on the river for a couple of hours, it's 10 in the morning, NAH, I don't need sunscreen." Completely forgetting that THE INNERTUBE WAS BLACK! Oh yeah, I burned so bad my skin started to swell with fluid and my joints were so stiff that I could hardly bend them. A week later I was peeling so badly on my chest near my shoulder/underarm area that I peeled into my skin which left a scar for several years which is now gone.
10) I have only had stiches once, in my left foot when a girl dropped a glass jar in art class at summer camp in 5th grade and it sliced into my foot. There was no pain until about 30 minutes later I was told I was going to have to have stiches. Then BOOM! Tons O' Pain. The doctor told me that if it had been less than 1mm deeper I would have had severed tendons in my foot.

The sunburn sounds painful.
I also like musicals....
OMG...I LOVE musicals. I wish life was a musical. Sometimes when I'm sitting in a boring meeting in a stuffy conference room at work I imagine the Vice President jumping up on the table, tap dancing and singing. Wouldn't that be great??? I had to do training in New York for 3 months and I got to see 13 broadway shows. It was PURE heaven.
Those were all very interesting things, I learned a lot!!! :) Hey Nic, here from Michele today...

Hi there, thanks for your comment at my site. If you're looking for tattoo ideas, here's one that I really like: http://www.welltempered.net/adinkra/htmls/adinkra/akok.htm
(if I ever have the guts to get one, that it.) I like the idea of getting something that sort of defines how I see life, or how I'd like to follow it. Does that make sense?
Nic: I like the Dolphin yin-yang one! Very nice, and unique, very cool to have one you modified for yourself!
and a great '10' list.. well done!
