AND THE SURVEY SAYS... Richard Karn is so not cool

Tagged by Jeff, I thought I'd fulfill the prophecy and actually do a survey for the first time in my life (that actually may not be hyperbole).

FOUR JOBS YOU’VE HAD IN YOUR LIFE:

* I ran my own lawn business for three months (March, April, and May). Then, I told my clients I couldn't mow their yard anymore--just gave them up mid-season so I could travel. I'm a selfish prick.
* I worked at Lerner, Sampson and Rothfuss as a Billings Specialist. This job taught me a lot. I worked on the sixth floor of a high rise building one block away from the Carew Tower and from Fountain Square and I always imagined I'd look out my window someday and see ugly, naked guy across the street in another high rise, but it never happened. I think it was the way the sun glared in my eyes. I couldn't see squat. I hated that job, but my God am I proud of who I was during that time. May I just say, I hope a certain controller is less bitter with the rest of the world than she was with me the day she told me I was "poison in the office."
* The Trace at Bay's Fork Golf Club--I picked up rocks, tore up irrigation systems, did tricks in golf carts, and made some of the best friends of my life. It was the perfect job to have as a teen. Ah, fondness.
* Admissions Counselor for WKU--I recruit students, sometimes feeling like I'm kissing a mom or dad's arse to appease them, but every once in a while feeling totally rewarded when something awesome happens like the night a girl came up to me on the sidewalk on the square in front of Spencer's Coffeehouse and thanked me for convincing her to come to WKU. She said, "I love it here. Thank you."

FOUR MOVIES YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER:

* Amelie
* Life is Beautiful
* Forrest Gump
* Tiny Toons: How I Spent My Summer Vacation (yes, I'm serious)

FOUR TV SHOWS YOU LOVE TO WATCH:

* Scrubs

* LOST
* Letterman

FOUR CITIES YOU’VE LIVED IN:

* Bowling Green, KY

* London, England (for like six weeks during the summer of '02)

FOUR PLACES YOU’VE BEEN ON VACATION:

FOUR OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS:

FOUR OF YOUR ALL-TIME FAVORITE RESTAURANTS:

* Taylor Grocery Store (upon reopening this place in 1997, owner Lynn Hewlett said, "Everybody's invited to come on down, but if you're in a hurry, don't bother to make the trip. We want people to sit out on the porch, sip a little wine or whiskey, and visit with their neighbors while they're waiting for a table."
* Harper's
* Lambert's Cafe
* the Apple Barn

FOUR SCHOOLS YOU’VE ATTENDED:

* WKU
* Allen Co. Scottsville HS (very little patriot pride, sorry)
* Alvaton Elementary (would still feel like home--memories)
* I went to a Community Ed. class at University of Cincinnati when I lived up there. It was called Communiversity and I learned about Travel Writing from Bonnie Manning, who was a cool chick
