drum roll please...

1. I am a total sci-fi fan. I'm somewhat of an anomaly among my friends (aside from my neighbor/friend Steve). One of my favorite movies of all time is Stargate and I used to watch Star Trek pretty regularly. I loved the book Dune.
2. OK, Laura, talk about a closet rocker. I've seen KISS in concert 5 times and Metallica 7 times. My concert list also includes: Godsmack, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, White Zombie, Beastie Boys, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots and Static X.
In college a friend and I tried to see a concert each month for a year. I think we made it through Veruca Salt, Beastie Boys and Blind Melon before running out of funds.
3. I know how to clean a fish. (no, not bathing - gutting and filleting). I grew up on a lake and my dad taught me how to fish at an early age. I can drive a boat, change tackle, bait it (anything but grubs), clean it and cook it. Funny thing is, I honestly don't really like to eat it.
4. In school I played piano, flute and bassoon (because no one else would)
5. I love opera, mostly from the classical period (Mozart's Marriage of Figaro is my fave).
6. I was once "Miss Northern Lake Superior". Yes, I competed in beauty, er, Scholarship pageants when I was in High School. Looking back it's kind of crazy and yet I did learn some things. Like, after being on stage in front of 100's of people in a swimsuit and heels I don't need to be afraid of anything!
7. I used to be a brown belt in TaeKwonDo (2 belts away from black) I've joined again along with my boys but I've started back at a white belt.

You and I - sister rocker friend - the next concert that comes to town. The heavier, the better.
