all about me



my favorite book growing up was My Book About Me. that's because i am all about Lovey, all the time. those who have ever done karaoke with me know this. it's the Lovey Show, so sit back and hope your ears don't bleed...

for this reason, i was especially happy when Mrs. A sent me the below email fill-in-the-blanks about yourself. it's not the hardcover Dr. Seuss book, but it'll do for now. i will post it here since My Blog About Me seems an appropriate enough venue for stuff, well, about me.

here goes. and i encourage all of you to respond in the comments or your own blog, as you see fit:

Here's what you're supposed to do and try not to be lame and spoil the fun! Just do it. Copy (not forward) this entire email and paste it into a new e-mail you can send. Change all the answers so that they apply to you. Then send it to a whole Bunch of people you know, INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your friends.
