Intro to Me

Well, here I am, starting a blog. It seems so odd that I don't know where to start considering I've been keeping running commentary on my life in the journals that are stashed under my bed for the last ten years, but when you know the whole world can read it, it's a little bit different. I guess I'll start with the easy stuff.
-I'm twenty five
-I still don't have this life thing figured out
-I have green eyes (duh)
-My parents are still married
-I'm divorced

-And a dog (who is better behaved, sometimes)

-Texas hold'em to be exact
-but I'm not so good at it some days
-I'm very emotional,
-but I like to call it passionate (sounds better)
-I used to really love to write and I'm just getting into it again.

-I love tomatos but don't really like ketchup all that much

-I hate going to the dentist
-and am petrified of needles
-But I get a shot every three months
-I've never finished a bottle of medication in my life

And, on that note, I'm done for today. See, I can only write when I'm at my day job and have a connection to the web, and it's time to go home, change, and go to the night job. I'm sure you'll get to know me lots better, but for now, TTFN. Love, Me
