Throwing my .02 cents in since everyone elses was so interesting:
1. I speak English, Spanish, Japanese, French and Arabic.
2. I lived in Japan for 2 years when I was young and then attended Japanese school on Saturdays for five years.
3. I am half Irish and half Mexican
4. I have 3 brothers
5. I tell really, really corny jokes
6. I am always the youngest one in the courtroom and frequently the only female
attorney
7. I am very athletic but not particularly coordinated
8. I hate guacamole --- I was left near a large tub of it at a party when I was little ate the whole thing, got very sick, now hate even the color of it
9. I love cartoons
10. Princess Mononoke is my favorite film. DH claims to like it, but five minutes in is dead asleep.
11. I would love to have a Gloch.
12. I love to read
13. I went to all girls catholic high school because I got a D in math in jr. high (too many boys to flirt with!)
14. My favorite class in lawschool was at 8 a.m. bankruptcy, my prof loved me because everyone else was a. bored out of their minds or b. asleep
15. I like to write, but in a very leisurely fashion
16. I hated the rain in Seattle growing up but now sometimes miss it (although I never admit this)
17. I have two tattoos: a butterfly and a pair of praying hands with a rosary and my dad's name (he died four years ago)
18. DH is a tattoo artist and did my tats and I had to take a break every 5 minutes it hurt so bad (I am a wimp!)
19. I am more a closet powerhouse than a front and center star
20. I love purple every shade of it--in fact I drive a purple Geo Storm (it was cheap and it perplexes people).
21. I knew what Harajuku was long before Gwen Stefani
22. I cry at every episode of that Ty Pennington Home Makeover show that helps out poor families
23. Cold Case is my favorite show---Lily Rush is very much like my personality
24. My dogs understand Spanglish...can be a little embarrassing at the dog park
25. I wish they made those super-duper reinforced play clothes for adults because I am so hard on clothes it's ridiculous!
So there you have it!

However, #10 is just Oh My Goodness awesome! I love Hayao Miyazaki!
For your hubby, I recommend showing him Porco Rosso first. I think men would like that one the most.
For women, I highly recommend My Cat Returns, especially if you're a cat lover.
Small children seem to be drawn to My Neighbor Totoro, though I'm not sure why. But then, I wasn't a small child when I saw that.
My first exposure to Miyazaki was an underground fan copy of Nausicaa. I've been in love with his work every since.
Another favorite of mine is Spirited Away.
I haven't seen Howl's Moving Castle yet though....
Anyways, be sure to check out this most excellent Miyazaki website:

I've owned more Glocks than any other type of firearm. Sure, many pan it as "combat tupperware", but you know what? It will work all... day... long. Excellent for conceal carry too. The other reason why I stuck with Glocks for so long.
My recent lust is the S&W M&P however. Not that I would ever buy such a thing for no reason. But... I still like to look at it sometimes... and drool.
