It occurred to me last night that I post alot in Rants and Raves, and I think maybe sometimes I come off as really serious and uptight and too politically correct. Then I got to thinking, boy, I bet the people on the board would be surprised to know this fact or that fact about me.

So, I thought it would be fun to post something about ourselves that people here on the board would be surprised to know. It can be one thing or more than one thing.

I'll start:

I love celebrity gossip and am addicted to tabloids and gossip Websites.

I love pop culture and love learning about fads in history as well as current.

I will admit that I mostly go to art movies, but I equally love really dumb mainstream comedies like Talladega Nights, Scary Movie, and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

I collect anything vintage, like cookbooks from the 50's, antique clothing, and black and white photos.

Now, how about YOU?

It really is the most awesome feeling when someone can reassure you in that way. Sometimes life can make you think you're crazy, but a little insight from an outsider brings it back into perspective.

John Edward's book is really good. I am not sure if he has more than one. If he does, it's his first book that I read. It was his life story, all about how he discovered his gift, how he prays before each reading, etc. I would really recommend this book. I have no idea what the name of the book is though.

I am glad his tv show is back on. I always watch it on Saturdays while I am struggling through my cardio at the gym. It sure makes the time go by faster! It's on as reruns in the day time, and the new ones are on Sat. night.

I have seen the new show and like the way he follows up with the families he does readings for in that show, but as far as format, I really liked the old show better. I catch it every now and then, but always forget to look for it. I think it comes on at the same time as something my husband likes to watch.
