Here's how it works:

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 little-known facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Fact #1 - In the first 8 years of my life, I lived in 7 different states. And no, we were not in the military!

1979 - Born Shawano, Wisconsin
1979 – Moved to Orem, Utah
1983 – Moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin
1983 – Farmington, New Mexico
1984 – Shoup, Idaho
1985 – Case Grande, Arizona
1985 – Bremerton, Washington
1987 – Victorville, CA

Fact #2- In college, I used to work as a part time extra in movies and music videos (mainly foreign language ones). Probably the most popular movie I was in was The Bachelor. I was one of the brides running down the street in the scene where Chris O'Donnell is being chased by all the brides.


Fact #3 - I have a phobia of using the bathroom in public places. I know, weird! Anyway, I think even weirder than that is that it has a name - Paruresis, or Shy Bladder Syndrome, and an Association - IPA (International Paruresis Association). So, if we are in a public place and I have "to go" don't come with me. This has actually gotten better over the past few years though so hopefully I am self-curing! For more info, you can check out - http://www.paruresis.org/.

Fact #4: I used to own a Sugar Glider. Most of you who knew me in college knew about my baby Primo. He passed away from some unknown reason the vets in my area could not treat him. Here's a picture of a sugar glider - they are a marsupial animal from Australia and New Zealand and the cutest things ever! Here's a picture of one!



Fact #5 - I have hugged the following people:

-Bob Barker (My friend Traci and I went to try to get on the show. She won the whole showcase so I got to run on stage and hug Bob!)
-Magic Johnson (His foundation http://www.magicjohnson.org/ is one of my clients)
-Arnold Schwarzenegger (I worked on his campaign)
-Dr. Laura (went to a book signing of hers and got the hug thingy)
-Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney (attended Republican Convention)


Fact #6 - I am an Elected Official. No, really, I am. I am an elected member of District 3 Ventura County Republican Central Committee, http://www.vcrcc.org/committee/executive_director/. It is basically a volunteer/service position that you actually are on the ballot for (when you have enough people running against you!). I have been a member since 2004 and my current term ends at the end of 2008. Last year I served as the Executive Director of the County Party and looks like my profile has not been updated since (:
