Seven facts about me:
1. My dad is a retired Illusionist, who now does Pyrotechnics, Snow, and other Special Effects. We grew up traveling around on Tour and he did stage magic all over. Later he was on tour with Kiss doing their Concert Fireworks, and then started his own effects company: http://www.effectspecialist.com/ Here is my Mom Levitating
2. When I was little (pictured to the left) I lived with my Parents, Grandparents, and a troupe of 12 midgets that traveled around and preformed, they came to the US escaping from Austria for the 1939 World’s Fair. They also Appeared in the Court Jester with Danny Kay on Wikipedia Here, The Wizard of Oz, and in the 70's several times on Saturday Night Live. They were all like my grandparents, and lived with my family until they passed, away. Only my Grandmother is now left, who prior to Marrying into my grandfather's show business act (Hermines Midgets), was herself on center stage in Ringling Brother's hanging by her teeth doing acrobatics 20 feet up, balanced on a pole on someone's forehead. Here is a Video clip from the Midget's in The Court Jester. 
3. Because of my family businesses we travelled and moved a lot growing up, and in 12 years of Primary Education, I attended 13 different schools. Here is a Picture of me as a Baby, Doesn;t Holly look just like me??4. I have an BA in English Creative Writing, and a BA in Broadcast Communication, Yet somehow (I think my hubbys influence) I ended up in a job doing Educational Technology, so I earned a MS in Education with a focus in Online teaching and Learning.
5. I met my Hubby Joel in October 1993, My first Semester at College; we started dating on November 17th. 4 Years later on 11/17/97 he asked me to Marry Him. One year later we moved to California when Joel got a job here, from Florida in August, but returned to Florida, in November, on 11/17/08 (a Tuesday) and we got married, the wedding and reception was at a place "Kapok Gardens" that looked like the renaissance, with aqueducts and beautiful gardens, but they were closing down, and it was technically a Guitar Center, as they had already moved in and opened the store in 1/2 of the building. My dress matched the look, as it was a replica of the dress Drew Barrymore wore in Ever After to the Ball, sans wings, made by my dad's costume designer and seamstress, we only had to pay for the materials. Joel and I will be celebrating 10 years Married and 15 together, this year 11/17/08, and we are both just 33. (We have almost been together 1/2 of our lives.) Holly is our first baby.
6. When I was in High School I was totally into Hair Metal Bands, and Punk Rock. When I went to College, I loved the Grateful Dead, and went to several shows in the South East. I wanted to be a DJ but the San Francisco Radio market was too difficult to break into. I was an Online Radio DJ for like 2 years.
7. I have written 2 1/2 Novels, 1 Screen Play, a Memoir and Several short scripts and stories. I Script is in the Horror Genre, and I sent it to several production companies, I have a file of Rejection letters that I keep with pride from paramount, DreamWorks, John Carpenter’s Studio, and Many more. I actually did speak with two producers; one was working on a similar film with Wes Craven, so passed on mine. I plan to get back to writing while I am home with Holly, and turn my 2.5 Novels into 1 good novel. I try and participate in nanowrimo each year, this year is my 4th.
Are you up for being exposed?!?!

honored to be chosen.

It's going to take me all day to think of 7 interesting things about myself. I am pretty dull. But for you, I'll try.
And yes, Holly looks just like you.
Holly looks amazingly like you!! Loved you high school hair...mine was quite similar (we are only 2 yrs apart). Good luck on writing. Never easy stuff :)
I read a lot of blogs and see this 'tagging' thing a lot, but I must say, yours is one of the most interesting ones I have ever read. :) Sounds like you have had a very busy, good, and cultured life.
Okay, I do plan to reply, but feel like I definitely couldn't outdo yours!! :) I hope to get to reply tonight. Thanks!!!!! Loved the video clip.
I have never heard of blog tagging. I guess that's because I've never been tagged. =(
