Sorry to bore you with another meme (yeah right, according to my stats you love them!). Angela at mommy bytes combined an e-mail meme with similar questions she found on four other blogs into a massive four things meme.
Four Jobs I've Had (not including your current job): This is going to be a stretch because I haven't had four real paying jobs, even counting my current one. For actual paying jobs, there's data entry clerk for the hometown school department, and temporary/seasonal sales associate at Electronics Boutique (now known as GameStop). Quasi-jobs include March of Dimes poster child (ick), and student aide for a couple of teachers in high school. I wasn't a kiss-up, I only did this for the cool teachers. One of them was a typing class, and it's where I was inspired to teach myself touch typing in a way that works for me (something the school didn't want to attempt because they thought it was impossible). I memorized the keyboard along with the class, and then spent tedious hours learning just the right distance to move my arms to make the three usable fingers reach all of the keys. The result: three-fingered touch typing speed that rivals those using all ten. Anyway, getting a little sidetracked here...
Four Movies I Can Watch Many Times: A Christmas Story, The Land Before Time, The Matrix, and Flight of the Navigator.
Four Places I've Lived: The only four: Los Angeles, CA; Eugene, OR; Hood River, OR; and Warwick, RI.
Four Places I've Vacationed: Canby, OR (where I used to go to summer camp); Rhode Island before I lived here; New Hampshire; and Orlando, FL (Disney World).
Four TV Shows I Love(d): I agree with Angela on Providence and Ally McBeal, but will try to come up with four more. Or rather, trying to limit it to four seems to be the bigger challenge. Okay, we'll start with the series return I'm most anticipating right now: Lost. Most unfair cancellation (twice): Jericho. Long time favorite I'll be sad to see go: ER. Favorite semi-new show: Eli Stone.
Four Novels (or Series) I've Enjoyed Re-Reading: Afraid I can't answer this one... don't think I've ever re-read anything.
Four Websites I Visit Often: In no particular order, WinExtra Forums, FindGift, LiveJournal and Facebook.
Four Places I Go Over and Over: According to Brightkite, the four places I visit most often excluding home are work, All Stars, Joe & Sandra's house, and Chris' parents' house.
Four People Who E-mail Me Regularly: Actual people, not commercial web sites? We'll go with my mom, Dana, Chris, and uhh... myself.
Four of My Favorite Places to Eat: All Stars (duh), just about anywhere in Disney World (man, I want to go back), Carrabba's and Longhorn Steakhouse.
Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now: Disney World, the Caribbean, Las Vegas, or at home in bed.
Four TV Shows I Watch: Oh good, more room for TV shows. Brothers & Sisters, Smallville, Private Practice and Don't Forget the Lyrics. These are the ones the dogs and I watch alone, without Chris.
Four Favorite Foods: Chris' mom's lasagna, pumpkin pie, sushi - but only two kinds: Philadelphia roll and spicy or garlic tekka (tuna) roll, and filet mignon.
Four Favorite Drinks: Diet Sprite (aka Sprite Zero), hot chocolate, Malibu (coconut rum) & pineapple juice, and wine coolers (how's that for old school?).
Four Favorite Colors: Purple (umm, hello?), dark green, pink, and sky blue.
Four Names That I Love But Would/Could Not Use For My Children: Sheesh... let's say Zoe (too many friends' pets with that name), Epiphany (Chris would kill me), Elton (see Ephiphany) and Aidan (love the name but no Irish blood that we're aware of).
Four Things I Know But Will Never Blog About: Wouldn't listing them here violate that rule?
Four Words That Best Describe You: Geeky, gimpy, silly and sappy.
Four Favorite "Old School" Hollywood Actors/Actresses: The '80s are as old school as it gets for me... I'm afraid I never had an ounce of interest in movies made before I was born. Chevy Chase (Caddyshack, National Lampoon movies, Three Amigos, Funny Farm), Judge Reinhold (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gremlins, Beverly Hills Cop), Tom Cruise (Risky Business, Top Gun, Rain Man), and Molly Ringwald (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club).
Four Favorite "Old School" Television Game Shows: Double Dare, The Newlywed Game, Win Lose or Draw, The $25,000 Pyramid.
Four Favorite "Old School" Television Shows: Small Wonder, Life Goes On, Charles in Charge, and Cheers.
Four Things I Liked Best About Christmas As a Child: Mom's cranberry meatballs, "old school" lights on the tree, driving around town on Christmas Eve to look at lights, and opening one gift before bed on Christmas Eve.
Four Things I Liked Best About Halloween: All of the kooky decorations we had, still being allowed to dress up at school, trips to the pumpkin patch, and bartering with my siblings for all the good candy!
Four Things I Did Not Like About Growing Up: Being unpopular, homework, mean teachers being praised while the good teachers were scrutinized, harassed, and driven out of town, and "experts" on disability who did more harm than good.
Four Events That Impacted My Life: Being introduced to summer camp, meeting Chris, moving to Rhode Island, and getting my first (and so far only) permanent, full time job.
