So six things about me....
- My Spanish... not so bueno. Well depends on who you ask. I can read out loud but I probably can't tell you what it all means. My vocabulary is above "see spot run" but not much above that. I can write but I know its all spelled wrong. A native speaker can spot a mile away that Spanish is a secondary language and not a first, then they make fun of me. None of my friends speak Spanish which would help in my Spanish speaking abilities. The kicker is that my business card says "Hablo Espanol." The good thing is that it hasn't really been tested. All of my American friends think I am 100% fluent. Maybe b/c I tell them that I am and they don't know any better.
- Sometimes people catch me concentrating and think I am having a real thought but really I am just doing clothing comibinations in my head, planning my next mani/pedi/massage.
- The reason I cardmake besides the fact that I love real mail and sending it out is b/c I suck at scrapbooking. It's hard to scrapbook when you don't take a lot of pictures.
- People in blogland don't know that I have a crazy shoe collection. They have their own seperate closet and are in clear plastic boxes. Now you know what Mel is short for. Seriously.
- Since I started LJ I have become a horrible drinker. As in I used to be able to drink the best of them under the table. Now I am good on 2 drinks and thats it. LJ tells me he wouldn't want to be dating "that girl."
- I started college when I was 16. See? I am smarter than I look. Now when I will finish that is yet to be decided.
As for the tagging... anyone who reads me (the 3 of you) you're it!

My boyfriends family all speak Spanish, so I've picked up on quite a bit over the years we've dated. I don't let on how much I understand/could speak because a) I get to hear what they REALLY think of me and 2) I don't have to speak to them (we really don't get along.)
Love your blog :D

Spanish? The only spanish I understand is por favor ;-)
I really want to be a scrapbooker, but I'm so not, at all. My boyfriend and I went to London a year ago, and I had the idea to make him a scrapbook of our trip for a Christmas present. I went to Michael's (hello, intimidation!) and bought the book, and some of those embellishments and all sorts of things, and was so excited.
Yeah, it's still not made :)
looking all thoughtful while planning outfits, thinking of manicures, wishing I was out somewhere shopping instead of reading court briefs? Oh yes, basically every day. I fool so many people, muah ha ha.
Languages are hard, especially when you don't use it often ... I used to be seriously proficient in French and German, but a funny thing happens when you just stio reading/thinking/speaking. My resume still claims proficiency, which I think might, in fact, be fraudulent. But c'est la vie, right ? : )
