1. I have a cat named Mr. Darcy – it’s from the book, Pride and Prejudice, which is amazing. Read it, love it, and if you’re going to watch the movie…I am under the distinct impression that Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are portrayed more accurately in the A&E version.

3. My favorite color can change daily. More often than not, it is blue.

20. I graduated college on Friday the 13th.
21. I got on birth control once and it made me so depressed that I stopped eating and lost like 20 pounds. It was awesome because I bought all of these new clothes. On the other hand, I was too depressed to go anywhere…so I never wore them out anywhere.

26. Jack Vettriano is an amazingly talented artist. Get to know his work. You’ll love it!

28. I really want to learn photography…
29. Egypt is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go. I’d love to see the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx.

37. I was supposed to be a boy. My dad got to name me if I was a boy and my mom got to name me if I was a girl. Thank God, I was a girl because my dad had chosen Ezekiel. He thought it would be cool to call me Zeke. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
38. I don’t really like to wear patterned things…unless it’s polka dots. I love polka dots.

49. My favorite bar beverage is a vodka tonic.
