As your average bartender-turned-lawyer, I have to write a lot... mostly in numbered paragraphs... not because I particularly liked it at first, but because the courts made me do it. Now I have an undeniable affinity for numbered paragraphs and can't avoid using them. So here's an enumerated list of some interesting tid-bits about me:

16. I like tattoos... on me and you... but they are not required. At present, I have four, but I keep it classy.

15. I have super-fat-cat named Atreyu (after the little warrior boy from The Neverending Story). He has a girlfriend who is also known as the plastic bag I just brought home from Target.

14. While at the Academia in Florence viewing the David, I saw a man with a mullet wearing a beater and a fanny-pack... I told him he was my hero.

13. Thirteen is my favorite number. That and 87.

12. I like to make up secret handshakes with people, but I can never remember them... or with whom I made them up.

11. I hate when people unnecessarily abbreviate words, for instance, "tard." That's lazy for retarded. Mostly, I hate when people say "ridic." You can't just drop the "ulous" like that. It's the most important part of the word. In fact, I'm bringing it back. What may be "ridic" to some, is "ulous" to me.

10. I used to study in bars, now I often work in them... needless to say, I drink in libraries.

9. I could never understand why it was called the Cosby Show when they played the Huxtables on television.

8. I broke my hip playing soccer when I was 15 years old in a slide tackle gone wrong, then proceeded to play on it for a month.

7. I have a twin sister. She can do math. I can't.

6. I grew up swing dancing with my Poppop in our living room after he got home from a hard day's work of dragon-slaying.

5. In junior high, I was walking at one end of a hallway when a stupid boy at the other end of the hallway threw a penny that managed to roll down the entire length of the hallway wall and ricochet off it just in time to fly into my eye and scratch my cornea. I had to wear an eye patch for 10 days. In 7th grade, that's social suicide.

4. I went hang gliding in Interlaken.

3. I've never sang karaoke but I am amazing at Rock Band.

2. One random night while living in London, I was escorted back to my flat in the back of a cop car... with my Mom.

1. I spent three weeks rock climbing and cycling down the Southern peninsula of Thailand. It was ulous.
