Three things that scare me:

Three people who make me laugh:

- My 17 year old brother
- Dave Barry (I'm addicted to his columns)
Three things I love:
- Being spontaneous
- Carbs (ie Cheetos and Mint choc chip ice cream)
- Traveling
Three things I hate:

Three things on my desk:

- My SPAM shot glass from the Spam Museum in Minnesota
Three things I'm doing right now:

- Wondering how I will speak nothing but Spanish for five months!
Three things I want to do before I die:

Three ways to describe my personality:
