50 Things...

Over at Passion The Fuz did a list of 50 things about herself. I found it incredibly enlightening even though I think I know her pretty well. Sometimes, some of the mundane things about ourselves are the things we overlook in conversation. Sometimes they're not as mundane as we think. In the spirit of the Fuz I'll start the way she did and go from there.

3. I was in love with Alyssa Milano when I was a teenager.
4. I have two tattoos. On my left ankle is the symbol for Libra (my primary birth sign) and on my other ankle is Scorpio (since i'm on the cusp). I'm planning my next one as we speak.
5. I fell in love for the first time when I was in 6th grade. Her name was Jennie.
6. I kissed a girl for the first time when I was in 6th grade. It was Jennie.
