An awesome place I've visited:

Red Square. And I just back from Seoul a few weeks ago - absolutely loved it, can't wait to go back and explore the rest of Korea.

My perfect Sunday:

If I'm honest - sheer laziness, nothing on the calendar, a whole day to do whatever I want, or nothing at all :)

The movie I've watched the most times:

Sad to say, but it's probably "Stick It." One of the best background noise movies out there.

My life history in 5 sentences or fewer:

Navy brat - grew up on the east coast before settling in MN. Oldest of five kids - I've got four little brothers, one of whom just got married, making me feel really old! Attended college in Madison, St. Paul, and DC, plus a semester in Moscow. Played softball and hockey for years, recently started running (or trying to, anyway!). Volunteer at Animal Humane Society and love every second of it.

My first concert / My dream concert:

Dream concert: Guns 'n Roses (in their prime) + Freddie Mercury-era Queen + Blue October + Elton John. Now that would be a crazy night!

Obscure knowledge I possess:

Agate-hunting. Plus I am awesome/ridiculously competitive at Trivial Pursuit - I own like 20 different versions, including the original, which is by far still the best one out there!
