   7 Things about Myself:
   
   
   1. I love to read more than anything. I honestly can't really remember not being able to read. I could spend all day reading and I will read anything interesting. 
   2. My favorite season is fall (autumn for you Brits!). I love everything about it. Especially acorns and pumpkins.
   3. I truly like all kinds of music, although generally my favorite genre is probably 80s New Wave. But on my iPod you'll find everything from classical, ragtime, international folk music, country (I don't like contemporary country much, but I do like older stuff like Johnny Cash, Eddy Arnold, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers), industrial, disco, rap, etc. Basically music from every era of the 20th century. 
   4. I love classic Hollywood movies (20s/30s/40s). 
   5. Besides reading, I love to study foreign languages. I have studied French, Russian, Japanese, Albanian, Mandarin, and Swedish and I can embarrass myself in Spanish, Italian, German... 
   6. I am trying to learn to sew on the machine I got for xmas 2009 and it is slow going, but I hope to change that this year. 
   7. I have the best husband ever and 2 awesome cats.
