Tanya

Tanya Marie None-of-your-business

November 16, 1976 - which is also my dad's birthday - (that makes me 29... forever...)

Scorpio

Seattle, WA (and if you want a lot more useless information, I was born two weeks late - which I'm sure my mom really appreciated! - at Riverton General Hospital, which no longer exists... well it does, but it's now called Highline Riverton East or something like that)

Seattle & Federal Way, WA (spent a year as a toddler in Minneapolis, MN)

Donna (works with freight forwarding)

Robert Jr. (worked for Boeing - wow here's a surprise, they laid him off. Boeing SUCKS!)

Rachel (7 years older) & Bobby (Robert III - 4 years younger)

single and wishing

none - but I have 5 nieces (Rachelle, Cecilia, DJ, Maya and Nandy) and a nephew (Danny)!

mutt - German is probably most prevalent

5'7"

that's not something to ask a lady!

grey-blue

Currently lt. brown with gold highlights and lowlights, but, lt. brown - drk. blonde - on occasion red... it kinda changes... okay, depending on what box I pick up! :) (naturally it's a lightish brown with reddish hilights - though I prefer a darker brown, and brighter red)

I have big feet - enough said... but I just love shoes.... I wonder where all those drag queens get their shoes.... (wow people, I didn't realize so many of you were interested in my feet! LOL! I've gotten several e-mails asking, so if you really want to know, I wear a size 11-12 in women's which figures to about a 10 in mens. There, I hope everyone's happy! :P)

right (though I think it would be really cool to be ambodextrious like my dad's dad was..)

AA degree from GRCC

Southern Heights Elementary, Wildwood Elementary, Kilo Jr. High, Thomas Jefferson High School, Green River Community College, and the University of Washington!

reading, reading, reading, computers/internet (the Hall O' Gods Hotel in general... it takes up quite a bit of time), spectator sports (GO MARINERS!), movies, music, scrapbooking and other crafts, (stealing Brooke's idea and putting) Disney - especially The Little Mermaid!, and I wish I could say traveling....

a grey tiger cat (she kinda looks like a Maine Coon, only half the size) named Whiskey

As of June 28th, 2002, I'm in my own condo all by myself... okay I also have my cat. - It's been over 3 years and I'm still loving every second of it! (though paying bills sucks!)
I am sad. While on vacation in 2005, the owner of my condo sold it, so I had to move. To help out my mom, I've moved in with her. We're currently living in Federal Way.

A '01 Hyundai Elantra which I absolutely adore! It's 'champagne' colored. :D

seems kinda silly to answer this myself, but my first car was a 1979 Monte Carlo - though I did get in an accident with it, got a speeding ticket (not to mention a few other memorable occurances - ow my hip!)... I guess it is kinda infamous... ask Brooke! LOL I can't resist putting my Homer car in here too. You see, after I was in the accident in Bessie (my Monte Carlo) I bought Homer - an 1985 Olds Cutlass Supreme. In May of '98, it was stolen. From the very beginning, I just knew Homer was going to be an "infamous" car too. I had to replace every thing but the transmission on that car!

babysitting - does that count? no? then receptionist at a hair salon - it lasted about 2 months! LOL

a customs clerk/runner, a bank teller/loan closer, a cashier at a department store (is Target a department store?) and an amusement park - gift shop, ticket sales, and midway games... *hiss!* (Enchanted Village is evil!!)

J.K. Rowling (Goblet of Fire is my favorite), Janet Evanovich, Dean Koontz, John Grisham, Nora Roberts & Stephen King, though my favorite book is Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. :) (least favorite book, if you care, is Travels with Charlie by John Steinbeck)

very eclectic - matchbox twenty, Savage Garden, Coldplay, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Josh Groban, No Doubt, Alanis Morissette, Dido, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Green Day, BNL, anything from the 80's, Weird Al Yankovic, Simon & Garfunkel, oldies (think Forrest Gump Soundtrack... :)), lots of soundtracks, Disney music, Gaelic music (like the stuff from Titanic and Riverdance), and Elvis -- for further reference if you're in the Seattle area, I tend to listen to STAR 101.5, however radio tends to annoy me with all the commercials, so I make my own CDs and listen to my iPod, A LOT.

Titanic, Forrest Gump, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Little Mermaid, Harry Potter (1,2,3,4&5), Gone With the Wind, Life As A House, The Full Monty, The Wedding Singer, Anastasia, Starship Troopers, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, The Sixth Sense, The Bourne Identity, The Crow, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hairspray, The King & I, Singing In the Rain, and Grease (what can I say? I'm a sucker for musicals!) As for Actor(ess), besides the obvious (all the GODs of course!) - I love Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Kevin Kline and Nicholas Cage. Oh and who can overlook the comical genius of Leslie Nielson and Mike Myers?!

french fries! but I also love pizza, hamburgers, bread (garlic, sourdough, french, italian, miche, potato, buttermilk...mmmm bread), boneless fried chicken (think crispy strips and popcorn chicken), caramel apples, cheese (there's a room in heaven made out of mozarella), pepsi (though that isn't really a food - fyi, I still love it, but as one of my bad habits, I've given up pepsi), ketchup (the condiment of champions!), breakfast food (pancakes, eggs, toast, etc.), cherry cheesecake, and of course, Winter White Chocolate ice cream from Baskin-Robbins, chocolate cake (preferably Claim Jumpers Slice of the Motherload) and Black Tie Chocolate Mousse Cake from The Olive Garden (That is funnier than you know! - I couldn't eat another bite, but can I lick the plate?)
- Geez! I can hear my arteries slapping shut! LOL

I have a little bit of an Elvis obsession! 5:-7
Well that is if you consider actually owning one of those swinging leg clocks and having an 8x10 of Elvis, all puckered up, on my wall to be an obsession....and then there's my "ELVIS" scream, but that's a long story..... I even have a HUGE poster that Brooke bought for me when we lived out at the dorm! It's sooo cool!

My ears are pierced 4 times each

I'm naked without my watch!

I love rainbows (and no I'm not gay).

Rick Springfield sweat on me......through the TV - Brooke insisted I add that last part.... well he did!

I don't smoke or drink

I have a sock fetish. (I had to add it, Tanya! Be kind to me!)
Ohmigod BROOKE! That wasn't very nice! I suppose it means I should explain. I'm very picky about my socks. They have to match perfectly. If I had 3 socks that looked exactly the same, I would have to figure out which one is the left foot and the right foot (it's an exact science LOL). I don't think that would be considered a fetish, but Brooke's mean to me.

My favorite colors are red and green

My mottos are:
"I hate stupid people!" and "Breathing is underrated!"

My favorite number is 16

As far as TV goes, I love Lost, House, Prison Break, Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Ugly Betty, Friends (we'll miss you!), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (*sniffle*), Angel (the WB sucks), CSI (the original is the best, but I like NY too), The Shield, Survivor (I won't deny it!), America's Next Top Model (which is even better than Survivor!), The Simpsons, Law & Order (I miss Jerry Orbach), Jeopardy (it makes me feel really smart when I get one right!) and of course I also watch some weird stuff like the Iron Chef on the Food Network, and As the World Turns (damn soap opera, can't anyone live happily ever after?!), oh and I am totally addicted to those makeover type shows, like Trading Spaces and While You Were Out, and Monster House, and ohmigod! Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is like my new favorite show!

I'm total packrat, with tons of, um, well, I like to call them collections...

Spelling has never been one of my stronger soots....

none - I'm perfect! - is lying a bad habit? okay then, biting my fingernails (I given this up several times, and currently they're all long except my thumbnails), and I guees I'll have to say that I'm messy... okay, I'm a slob.

um... I should probably take this one off the chart, huh Brooke? (I suppose we could use this part to talk about what we prefer. :) I personally am a big fan of guys in those long boxer-briefs. If not that, then definitely boxers.)
