I haven’t made New Year’s Resolutions in quite a few years now, but it feels like the right time. So, here are five things I will strive for this year.

Some of you are probably familiar with the concept of a “bucket list,” but if you aren’t, I’ll explain. Essentially, it is a list of things one wants to see, do, accomplish, etc. before they die (or “kick the bucket,” hence the name).

Recently, I decided to sit down and update my list. The old one contained a few things that have either happened, or can’t happen. For instance: marry a great guy (done!), have a child (done!)… meet Michael Jackson, or at least see him in person (I missed out on that one).

So, here is my current bucket list…

A few things about me… ten to be exact.

• I love many Woody Allen films, and hate a few. I tend to react strongly one way or the other; the only one I can remember being lukewarm about was “Match Point.”
• My favorite flower is the lily. Specifically so-called “oriental” varieties (such as Stargazer), and daylilies. Calla lilies are ok, but I prefer the “star-shaped” types.



• I am primarily of German, French, Dutch, Scottish, and English ancestry. As with most people, there are likely a few more things in the mix I don’t know about.
• I have severe arachnophobia (an intense, sometimes illogical fear of spiders). It seems I have always had it, as my first sentence as a toddler was “Daddy, kill the spider!”

• You actually use “sha’mon” in conversation. Bonus points if you did that before 2009.
• You notice the difference when it goes from “mama-say-mama-sa-ma-ma-koo-sa” to “mama-say-mama-sa-mama koosa” (that’s phonetically, of course, not the actual spelling of those words).
• Your child(ren) can identify Michael on sight, no matter what point in his life or career they’re looking at.
• Michael, or related persons/symbols pop up in your dreams, even if those dreams have nothing to do with him/them otherwise.
• If someone says something that brings to mind an MJ song, you have to start singing it or reciting lyrics (at least in your head).
• Your ringtone is now, or has been, Michael-related.
• When you hear one of Michael’s songs on the radio, it feels weird when the song that follows isn’t the next track from the album.
• You’ve given children, cars, pets, stuffed animals… MJ-related names.
• You know which songs on the “Michael” album just don’t feel right.
• You treat “The Wiz” as if it’s “Citizen Kane,” when, in reality, it’s only good because of Michael.

01. – “Two of Hearts” by Stacie Q. coming on the radio as I started my car today. The visual of Seth Green dancing to that song as James St. James in “Party Monster” springs to mind every time I hear it. Never fails to make me giggle.

Since I just started here, I thought I’d do an introductory blog about me and my favorite things. 

My name is Patricia, I’m currently 32 (until December 11), and I enjoy many things in this life. I like to say I am a fan of many, a fangirl of a select few.
