Four jobs I’ve had:

1. A waitress. And not just any waitress. In fact, the worst waitress in the history of the world, including those who stumble to work in a meth-induced twitching frenzy. My manager's name was Arnold "Mac" Johnson. He was from West Virginia. And he routinely told me in his WV drawl that I was "the worst damned waitress he'd ever seen." I worked there for seven years. Amazing.
2. A receptionist at Jenny Craig. I worked there to get the 50 percent off discount on the food, an amount I had to pay back plus more to the therapist who helped me get over the raging eating disorder that arose from eating "Jenny-Os" made out of sawdust, and being caught with frozen yogurt at the mall by my impossibly thin "counselor", Kareen. I mean really. She saw me at the mall with yogurt and made me throw it in the trash. This was a woman who used to go out on her break with the words, "I need to get a bagel or I'm going to binge." I worked the front desk with Susan, who sat next to me under the wall-sized portrait of Jenny and made fun of the "poor fat people" getting out of their cars to walk in so she could SELL THEM A MEMBERSHIP. And people wonder why I snap sometimes.
3. A bookseller. Paid dirt wages to work with the loves of my life - and a few books. ; )
4. Activity leader on an Alzheimer's unit. I deal very well with flexible grips on reality.

Four movies I can watch over and over:

1. Office Space. Cliches are cliches for a reason, and this movie is tight. Quote heaven.
2. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The best movie about kidnapping women and forcing them to marry you, ever.
3. Say Anything, because John Cusack is my baby daddy. Just...no one thought to tell him.
4. The Breakfast Club, the Brat Pack before they all freaked out a little bit and started acting in bad films. Judd Nelson = hot. Emilio Estevez = hot. Ally. Molly. Anthony Michael. Please. I love this movie and can quote it in its entirety, particularly when much red wine is involved. "I'm an idiot because I couldn't pass shop?" "NO, YOU'RE A GENIUS BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T PASS SHOP."

Four places I’ve lived:

1. Charm City - Dayton, Ohio
2. Olney, Maryland. O-town, represent.
3. Hyattsville, Maryland
4. Miamisburg, Ohio

4. I'm not telling. I totally have a secret. : )
