101 Things About Me
January 08, 2003 @ 4:54 p.m.

So here I am jumping on the bandwagon, as fashionably late as ever. Well, not really, considering I have had a ton of reading, and this is just to give me a reason not to read any more.

Here we go. 101 Things About Moi.

1. I was born in Pennsylvania and lived there until I was twelve.

2. I don't really miss Pennsylvania, or any of my old friends there. But sometimes it makes me mad that they don't miss me.

3. I know this makes me a hypocrite, which is something I despise. Or maybe it just makes me human.

4. When I was three, I stuck play-dough up my nose and then sniffed.

5. I learned to read when I was four. The first book I ever read on my own was an illustrated biography of Louis Pasteur. Because I liked the picture of the rabid dog.

6. I've only owned one dog in my lifetime and I don't really remember him.

7. I am a total cat person. I think I will always have at least one.

8. But I don't want to turn into a 90 year old lady with 200 cats. This is one my greatest fears.
