Sometimes...

I have a job interview on Monday morning, with an entertainment communication company in Studio City!!! So it's close - I don't have to drive too far or even on the freeway! I'm not entirely sure what they do exactly, but it's an admin assistant position, so computer work and whatnot.

Very excited! Neeeeeeeed a job :)

How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?
Submitted by fightinggale.

I'm guessing about 20 pairs of shoes.  That's a high estimate, but I did drag that duffle bag out of my closet the other day looking for sandals and there were more shoes in it than I remember. 

I wear like 2 pairs... maybe 3 if you count my fave sandals during summer.

Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you ever seen one?

I do believe in ghosts and a lot of other supernatural things.  But I've never seen one myself. 

However, I have lived in a lot of haunted houses.  When I was a kid, we lived in this old farmhouse, and my brother woke up one night to see a man standing at the foot of his bed, dressed in old Civil War-ish clothes and looking a bit transparent.  We didn't think too much of it, even though my brother changed rooms with me that day...lol  However, our neighbor had lived in the house as a boy and he described seeing the exact same thing without ever talking to my brother about it.  So that was a bit creepy.

My parents' current house used to belong to my grandparents, and when my sister was a child, she spent the night there and was woken up by an old woman shaking her shoulder - also a bit transparent.  Needless to say, my sister freaked out about the whole thing.  However, my grandmother died not too long after that and since then, my sister has said that she feels completely safe in the house.

My grandmother was a person who could use the crystal ball and the Ouija board and read tea leaves, coffee grounds and playing cards.  Things were revealed to her through these methods, like one day, she was using the Ouija board and it told her to check on the baby.  So she went into the nursery and my aunt, who was a baby at the time, was choking in her crib, and Nanny saved her because she'd listened to the Ouija board.  There are a lot of those kinds of stories floating around the family...lol 

So, long story short, I do believe in ghosts and other supernatural-y things.

It's been a dull, dull week...
