Hmmm.  Going to post 8 random facts about myself.  I will try:

1)  I was the last one in my kindergarten class to learn how to tie my shoes.  My Mom still has the gold cardboard shoe with my name on it that I finally received when I mastered the difficult task!  LOL

2)  Zippers and Escalators make me nervous.  Zippers because I could never zip properly when I was young and always had button up coats because of it.  Escalators because one time my rubber boot got caught in one at Sears.  No damage to my foot but the boot was mangled.

3)  I've worked for the same company for 23 years.  (Whoa!!)

4)  My Dad wanted to name me Deidre Ann when I was born, but my Mom named me Kathleen Elsa (her middle name too).  She saved me from being a Dee Dee!!!  Plus I have to very cool initials of KEG!!!  : )

5)  I met Anthony Edwards at the Williams Inn in Williamstown, MA when one of my friends was going to school there.  He was in a play called 'Speed the Plow' at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.  It was after his 'Top Gun' days...so of course the only thing I could come out with was "I cried when Goose died!"   LOL

6)  I have identical twin brothers.  Growing up there were FIVE sets of twins on our street; including on either side of our house.

7)  I am a scrapbooker and started in 2001.  I love to take photos so it was easy to start!

8)  I'm a huge U2 fan.  I've been lucky to see them up and down the East Coast as well as in Hawaii, Ireland and England.  Where will I see them next???!!!

Just read the most fabulous rumor on Bonophile's Vox!!!!

The new U2 album is due to be released on 11/18/08.

Hmm.  That seems about right.  Just in time for Christmas gift giving!

Hey!  That's only FOUR months from today exactly.  LOL!!!

WooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooo!

If you had to go on a two-week vacation with any celebrity, who would you pick as your traveling companion and where would you go?

Vox, you make it sound like a chore when you ask 'If you had to go...'

I'd want to go with any member of U2!  I think they'd be alot of fun!  Plus....LARRY....swoooooooon!

We could go to Hawaii of course or London.  Hmmmm I'd even like to get a tour of Ireland from them!

U2 at Sundance

Yes, I watch Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill.  Gossip Girl is a new guilty pleasure this year.  One Tree Hill I was into when it first came on the air, but got away from watching it again until this season.

Honestly the reason I even started watching One Tree Hill was because it's a name of a U2 song.  LOL!

Anyway both shows had season finales last night!

Gossip Girl...let me say this show is the Upper East Side version of 90210.  But, I like it anyway!  In true season finale fashion there was of course a wedding.  Ooohhhh!  Will the wedding happen or no!?!?  LOL!  My favorite character on this show is Chuck Bass.  He is so young but yet so smug and a bit evil !

One Tree Hill....The love triangle season finale plot!  LOL!  Lucas calls someone at the end of the episode and invites them to get married in Vegas.  Who was it!?  Was it Brooke, Peyton or Lindsey?!!!   Oooooooh!  The cutest moment of the episode was during the opening sequence when Jamie sang the opening song 'I Don't Wanna Be' with Gavin Degraw.  Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

Tonight I watched more TV than I have watched all week.  Three hours.  One hour of Ugly Betty, one of Grey's Anatomy and one of The Office.

The quote that made me laugh the most during The Office was this one:

Michael:  What's the group, that were from Scranton and made it big? Was that U2?

Jim:  Yes

Bwa hahahahahahahahahahah!

Ok, tired and need sleep.  More tomorrow!

What is the most money you'd ever spend on a concert ticket?

Ok, so to see U2 at Slane Castle in Ireland in 2001 I had to book through a tour company that only sold the concert tickets as a package deal that included airfare and hotel.

Does that count?!  LOL

Would I do it again?!  In a second!!

Woo hoooooooo!  Bono's BD is 5/10!  Happy B-day to my fave lead singer!  LOL

This is what the back of the tee I brought home from Aloha Stadium in 2006 for my Mom looks like!  She's styling!

U2 Hawaii Concert Tee

U2 Aloha Stadium

What was the last concert you attended?

It was U2 on 12/9/06 at Aloha Stadium, Hawaii !

Here's the set-list and notes from U2 Tours :

Main Set

City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, Elevation, I Will Follow, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - In A Little While, Beautiful Day - Sgt. Pepper's - Blackbird, Angel of Harlem, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, The First Time, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Love and Peace or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky, Miss Sarajevo, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name, One

 

Encore

Comments: The full list of Vertigo Tour dates shows on screen during City of Blinding Lights, ending with "131. Honolulu." The band stops to bring a fan on stage during Angel of Harlem, but the fan wants to play Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - on piano. So, they do, with U2 struggling to get through the impromptu set list addition. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong plays and sings on The Saints Are Coming. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready join U2 for Rockin' In The Free World. The show ends with the band embracing their stage crew as they leave the stage one at a time. Larry gets the final word: 'See you soon.'

 

How much does a person's musical preference affect how you view him/her?

To become KEG approved one must be a U2 fan!  Really that's all it takes!!!

Bonus points for seeing a U2 concert with me!
