Favorite color(s): Aqua, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, Black - hate Orange & Yellow

Favorite sport: Football (PSU, Oregon Ducks, Steelers, 49ers)
Little known fact(s):
1. I used to be a member of the stagehands union and worked on the local crew of many road shows that came through campus. (I took vacation from my real job to do this). My favorite show was LesMiz - I had to wear a costume because I had to walk on stage to do scene changes. The hardest part was learning how to walk backwards on the stage turntable (while it was turning) and carrying an actress in a bed (Fantine, who had just died).
2. I also met my hubby online - on IRC in 1996.
