So stole this from cloverdew

Comment and I will give you 7 interests that you have to explain in your lj why they are of interest to you

cloverdew gave me:
bad spelling
hockey
irish music
nancy drew
cross stitching
dc shorts
tattoos

So here we go:

Bad spelling I'm a horrible speller. I mean, third graders spell better than me, which is why I spell check everything at least four times and even then I'll type "done" when I mean "down" which I suppose is more of a typing error, but I'll read it and think it looks right and I'll notice it's wrong three days later.

Hockey It's the one sport that I follow every season beginning to end. I heart the Red Wings, yes I know I suck. I was highly disappointed at the strike a few years ago and I have made my peace with the game changes. Like the clock stop for fights and automatic 5 minute penalty for fighting. Plus, I have a thing for Canadians.

Irish Music There is nothing better than a good drinking song or a lively jig. The harmonies and melodies that blend ans weave together. It's happy music. Even Danny Boy, probably the saddest Irish song on Earth, makes me happy. The music makes me want to stand up and dance, sing and have a good time.

Nancy Drew The original mystery girl. What can I say other than she is amazing and a true inspiration to young girls. She's head strong, smart and doesn't rely on a man to help her. Nancy, with her blue roadster, always gets her man and she never lets the underdog lose.

Cross Stitching I know it's a little domesticated but every female member of my grandmother's family, dating back to after Annie Oakley (Yes I'm related to her)has learned to cross stitch and we have at least five generations of cross stitching "Home sweet Home" pieces in our family. When I have a daughter I will teach her and she will make a "Home" cross stitch to add to the collection.

DC Shorts This is the film festival I work on as part of the job. (Check out schedule for the films we'll be screening this year) I love the festival, it just takes up a ton of time. This year we have some amazing films and I'm excited to see what people think. My fav...Shop and Save. I have 3 words. Jesus. Thrift Store. You can get the idea.

Tattoos I have six (a rose, a Claddagh, a quill, a sun and moon, Ariel and the fairy that is my icon) and will probably have a seventh within the next few months. As the resident expert among my friends, I help find places, answer questions about basic care and general advise. Now anyone looking to get one, I suggest, knowing exactly what you want and then wait 6 months. If you still want it, then go for it. I'm available for questions if you all have any.
