I have several! My full first name is Julianna, but up until freshman year of college, everyone called me Julie--friends, family, everyone. I only used Julianna on my resume and headshots. When I went to college I decided I wanted to use my full name.
There are some people who still call me Julie, some who call me Jules or Jewles, depending on how I met them. My brother calls me Julish. My husband calls me monkey. My dad calls me J.D. because my middle initial is D. One of my friends calls me Frank--long story there. My grandmother called me Sarah Bernhardt because I was so dramatic as a child.
I think that's all of them!
It's fun forgetting about my Formspring and logging in to find 3 months worth of questions waiting for me! -
I would tell myself to look in the mirror and figure out a way to like the person I see, because I wasted too many years being self-conscious and hating myself. I missed a lot of great moments because I was too busy worrying about what other people thought of me, or silently berating myself for not being perfect.

The way my husband's eyes crinkle in the corners when he's smiling at me. They don't when he smiles at anyone else. Just for me. :)

Well, I was five when it went off the air, and cable TV wasn't available in my town until I was six, so no. I actually don't think I've ever even seen a rerun.

I completely forgot I had a formspring til just now!
Let's put it this way. If they made a version of those big foam fingers that said "BJs are #1!" I would purchase one for each hand. -
My brain. I was lucky to have two very intelligent parents who valued education. I've always been naturally intellectually curious: I read the encyclopedia and dictionary for fun in elementary school, and I still get a surge of excitement about learning something new. I feel lucky to have been blessed with a high level of intelligence but I've also put in the effort to learn and achieve academically and otherwise.

Oof. I am not interested in answering this question. It's been a pretty unpleasant year, truthfully. Honestly, the past two years have been pretty rife with unpleasant happenings.
Despite all of that, a lot of good things have happened as well. I feel a lot better than I did this time last year, in terms of my Fibromyalgia. I'm about 35 lbs lighter than I was at this time last year. I have made a few wonderful friends in the past year or so--online and off. All in all, I'm still pretty lucky and I have a lot of good things in my life--but I'd rather not enumerate all the things I'd change that have happened to me and people I love in the past year or so. -
I sure have! My last full time job before I decided to make a career change and go back to school to become a teacher ended in the summer of 2008. I got fired because I refused to get involved in a lawsuit between my former boss and a former employee of his who I had worked with and overseen. She was suing him because he refused to give her her last paycheck. She gave him two weeks notice before she left and he was an asshole so he refused to give her her last 2 weeks of pay because he was pissed she was leaving. He wanted me to sign some forms saying she hadn't done any work for me in that period, which was a total lie, and I told him I didn't want to have anything to do with it unless my lawyer got to look at it beforehand. He refused, fired me and then had to pay me unemployment. What a bonehead. The irony is he had just given me a raise and a promotion like 3 months earlier, and I have no idea how they survived with me leaving as abruptly as I did because I had more accounts than anyone else in my position and generally worked well over 40 hours a week, including lots of travel. He cut off his nose to spite his face, but I was honestly thrilled because working for him had been a total nightmare. He would scream and yell and throw things in his office if anything ever went wrong: he was a classic bully.
So yep, I got fired, but it was actually a good thing in the end. -
I wasn't really a fan in that I didn't listen to his music with any regularity, but I was definitely appreciative of and in awe of his talent, regardless of the craziness that happened in his personal life. I think it's truly a shame that he couldn't have had a happier life and that he was surrounded by so many people who had so little regard for his happiness and health.

I've had a number of wonderful teachers. One of my best teachers I can recall was my third grade teacher. She was energetic, empathetic, and went out of her way to support me, attending my theatre productions and being a great supporter of everything I did in and out of the classroom. I hope I can be as supportive of my students and make them feel as safe and happy in my classroom as she made me feel.

Definitely the ocean. The ocean was literally my backyard growing up, something I didn't realize was as amazing as it was until I didn't have it anymore. I swam in the ocean at least once a week from about March til November.
I am a water baby for sure, and I am happiest when I'm swimming anywhere. The moment my head goes underwater and all the outside noises fade away is sometimes the only peace I get. -
Really people? This is the best you can do? I prefer the penis that's attached to my husband. That's the best answer I can give you.

Sorry it's taken me so long to answer this, I honestly completely forgot I even had one of these things! Social media overload. Anyways, there's a very simple answer to this question. I would smack my teenage self in the face and say "Bitch, you are not fat. Not even close to fat. Stop abusing your metabolism because in the future you're ACTUALLY going to get fat, and it'll be a lot easier to lose that weight if you haven't killed your body's ability to do so."

A great classroom with LOTS of resources, in a school where the teachers, staff and administration were all very collaborative and positive. Ideally I'd be teaching somewhere between 2nd and 4th grade and would have about 15 kids in my class. We'd have tons of extracurriculars, they'd have music AND art AND PE, and we'd have a SmartBoard in each classroom and a weekly assembly devoted to character building. The lunchroom would serve healthy choices with lots of fresh produce, and the teachers and kids would all wake up every morning excited to go to school, to learn and to teach.

To play, my favorite sport was lacrosse. I played first home, which is basically the position who tells everyone else what to do and doesn't have to run a lot, so it was a PERFECT fit. We were state champions every single year of middle and high school. I had to stop playing halfway through junior year because I didn't have enough time to do lacrosse, plays, voice lessons, dance class, guitar and all the other stuff I was interested in. So, sports got the cut because I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete anytime soon.

Ha, I think I know who asked this! Why is everyone all anyonymouse today? I bet formspring is effing up.
Pirates. I say this because I am one. If you'd like to know why, that's a long story, but one I would gladly tell if you are interested. -
I've always been confused as to what the appeal of Seinfeld is: I know I'll lose a few points with people for that, but whatever. It just doesn't make me laugh. What can I say. I also think Two And A Half Men is dumb beyond belief, and I don't understand how Charlie Sheen still has a career.

I'd like to say I'm both. I talk. A lot. But when I am needed to listen, I can do so well. I'm learning a lot of teaching is more about listening than talking. I've also spent a lot of time in higher education listening to professors blather on, so I've learned to listen and try to extract what is the one important sentence out of the 15 or so that he or she has uttered. Good question! Why the anonymity?

I've eaten chicken's feet at dim sum. Lots of tiny little bones. Not worth the effort. Since I'm from FL I've eaten my fair share of gator tail. I roomed with a Korean girl during a summer program who fed me all kinds of interesting fermented/dried seafood products. She also saved my ass from getting beat up by a bunch of townies--took off her Dr. Scholl's and gave someone the most thorough beat-down I have ever witnessed.
I'll pretty much try anything, and the only things I'm not terribly fond of are mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, mussels, clams and oysters.
