I’ve seen a lot of blogs with this particular “me-me” post. Although I’m not particularly found of me-me’s (as in, why should you assume anyone else besides yourself would find this stuff interesting?), this one actually seems pretty cool. Plus it’s my blog and I can post whatever I want.
4 jobs I’ve had
- cleaned bathrooms for a semester in college (talk about humbling)
- office manager for a holistic eye doctor’s office (where do you think I scored all my great glasses?)
- graduate research assistant for an international maternal mortality prevention program
- program evaluator for a social service agency serving victims of violence in NYC
4 places I’ve lived
- Athens, Greece & Singapore (until I was 3)
- Seattle (my hometown)
- Kampala, Uganda (for a year after college)
- New York City (since 2002)
4 favorite TV shows
- uh, I don’t have a tv
- but when I go to Daniel’s house, I can’t stop watching Law & Order
4 places I’ve been on vacation
- Peru (trekked the Inca Trail over Christmas)
- Rwanda, Tanzania, & Kenya (made lots of overland trips to neighboring countries when I lived in Uganda)
- Germany & Greece (for a week each in college)
- Arizona (my first trip to the desert)
4 favorite foods
- chicken pad thai (for 9 meals out of 10 at Thai restaurants — I know I should expand my horizons, but I love it so!)
- Pirate’s Booty (I’ve been known to scarf down a bag in one sitting)
- chicken tikka masala
- my Mom’s homemade pastis (if you have roots in Western Montana, you know what I’m talking about)
4 sites I visit daily
4 places I’d rather be (plus 1 bonus)
- relaxing in my own spacious & quaint Brooklyn brownstone
- on the Seattle waterfront drinking coffee from Monorail Espresso
- travelling just about anywhere, but especially India, Nepal and Tibet
- out of debt
- in a country which values a woman’s right to health and well-being
