Tag, you ARE IT!
Blogger Post September 2nd, 2008JKove has tagged me. I haven’t heard of this yet, but now I have so here we go!
What was I doing 10 years ago?
Oh boy, let the teasing begin. I was a band nerd. Fall 1998 marks my sophomore year of high school. I went to band camp, I played flute and piccolo. It’s true. 
I was also a varsity tennis player. Cycling? What’s that? You mean people ride bikes on hiking trails? No freaking way. Look at that funny looking guy in neon spandex. What a dork. Boys? Yes please. Oh look, I just finished puberty and I suddenly have boobs. Oh awesome, I got my braces off a year ago. Walking in the streets in stilettos. Oh wait, no no!! No!!! 
What are 5 non-work things on my to-do list today?
-Go to Sunflower Market to get some very delicious food. Grocery shopping is one of my favorite
activities
-Hang out with one of my best buddies
-Unpack and do laundry… I have been home for like 4 or 5 days since Breck.
-Play my guitar that misses me so much
-Take my bike to get it happy again
-convert every number I see into hexadecimal
Snacks I enjoy:
-Lattes and Cappuccinos
-Bread with peanut butter and cinnamon honey
-Cookies
-lots of fruit, like peaches, strawberries, and blueberries
-Dark chocolate with good stuff in it
-Goat butt flavored pig brains
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Man, I don’t even know. I can think of what I’d do if I didn’t have to work and that would be ride, travel, and get a car that won’t break down. haha. Baby steps. I think the more appropriate question is what I would do with 100,000 dollars.
- Give money to various causes and people I believe in – like donate a bunch of it to teachers
- Travel, travel, travel, oh, and travel so I can speak like 15 languages, lay on beaches, hike and ride in really really big mountains, drink really good coffee and wine
- Buy my friends and family everything they want and support them so they don’t have to work and can go on adventures with me
- Take lots of classes in stuff I’m interested in for no grade, just to learn about cool stuff
- Buy a sweet, fast car (sorry tough bastard, you can be a lawn ornament) and a bunch of cool places to drive it to
-Burn it, blow my nose in it, give it away on steps, and wear a ridiculous suit
Here you go! Here you go! “Nice hooters”
Places I have lived:
-Albuquerque, NM (BURQUE! Da Querque)
-Boulder, CO
-my car for various weeks out of the summer ;D
-a van, down by the RIVER
Jobs I have had:
-tennis instructor
-hostess and food runner at Macaroni Grill
-textbook image designer
-student intern at Sandia Labs
-Research Asst and Teaching Asst at CU Boulder in Engineering
-Research Asst in Neurophysiology
-student intern at Xcel Energy

Hi Sonya,
Just got back from Breck! Unlike you, we had the most gorgeous weather, 70’s and sunny all week. My first day I was pedaling up Wheeler trail and I saw a woman running down, she looked like you (of course, I’m blowing a lung trying to climb), I asked “Is your name Sonya?” She said no! bummer! I’ll send you my blog when I’m done with it.
Sorry about the crash in SD. Nice photo of the backside

I’m so glad you had a great time!!!!
I’m hoping to have a nice weekend of fall-ish riding this weekend up high. That’s so funny you thought you saw me. haha. Thanks for reading!

I actually thought I saw Jeff today when I was riding a trail in Niwot. But he only vaguely looked like him, and wasn’t on his bike, so it was a dead give away

Band nerd? Hey, just like Kerkove. He’ll have to refresh my memory, but I think he was my cymbal caddie when I was a senior. I could be completely and utterly wrong. Eh, I probably am.
It’s still funny, though.

Yes… band. funny thing is that I live across from a high school and the marching band is out there till 9 PM every night practicing. Poor bastards. I thought about getting my flute, running out there and being the crazy lady trying to march with the band.
hee hee

It would be more entertaining to grab your flute and stand just off the edge of the field — waiting, pleading to be invited to come play, but at the same time making everybody really uncomfortable. Bringing a bottle of wine would be even more entertaining.
