about me...

I finally finished my 100 things about me list and thought I would post it here:

1. I was born on March 21, 1980.
2. Second oldest of 4 kids. One older sister, 2 younger brothers.
3. I am 50% Polish. My dad has our family's original immigration papers.

5. I live with my boyfriend of 7 years, one bearded dragon, and an aquarium of fish.
6. I am a law student. This year will be my last year! Scary!
7. I am a native of Illinois, my parents have lived in the same house my entire life. And I lived there too until I moved away to go to law school.
8. I am about 5’ 6” tall.
9. I am naturally super skinny.
10. I eat a lot. And I mean a ton. So much that my boyfriend says I eat more then him. Really though I’m just on a two to three hour time line. As in if I don’t eat every couple of hours I get really cranky, and then sick.
11. I come from a really big family. My dad is the oldest of 10!
12. I make really good lasagna and a pretty good onion soup.

14. I am a Coke not a Pepsi girl.
15. I love corned beef and Reubens.
16. I have self-diagnosed myself with having social anxiety. Maybe I’m just anti-social? Hmm…
17. I read a lot. Lots! I love Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, and Jeffrey Deaver (just to name a few).
18. I am a Harry Potter nerd.
19. I am terrified of the dentist. And I mean so terrified that I now get to take Valium before I go.
20. I have never broken a bone.
21. I have gotten stitches once, and I have a fairly large scar from it. Luckily it is on the back of my head covered by hair. Oh wait, my mom tells me I actually have a bald spot in the scar area. Great, something to get self-conscious about.
    
22. I love Spongebob!
23. I scrapbook.
