So, that answers THAT question.

Ok, so I've been thinking lately. Well, I THINK all the time, and yes, sometimes I do hurt myself...but anyway. I was thinking that this would be a good time to kind of make an introduction of myself... for those of you whom I might take for granted knowing ...really...who you're dealing with...

I grew up in an upper-middle class family and suburb on the Northshore. Until my Senior year in highschool, I attended Catholic School. My parents are divorced, and I grew up around alcoholism and drug addiction. This sounds scarier than it actually was. My parents both loved me very much and for those playing along at home...I was 7 going on 8 when my mother was my age. 29. My dad was 31. I can't imagine having a 3rd and a 5th grader (my older brother) right now. I can barely take care of my cat. So, there's A LOT of forgiveness there for whatever mistakes they made...after a whole bunch of therapy.

Anyway, Had my first beer when I was 14. First time I puked while drunk, 15. First time I smoked pot, 14. First time I tripped on acid, 17 at my first Grateful Dead show. Said goodbye to my virginity when I was 17...a full year after I started dating my first serious boyfriend... remember waiting that long girls?? My Senior Year in High School saw me two B's away from straight A's. Those 2 B's were breaks I gave myself because I hated those classes.

Went to a Big 10 school for 2 years and then came home because I was lonely for my family and my friends. Graduated from a small local university with a 3.58 GPA.

My 20's have been my searching years. Trying to figure out who the hell I am. I've learned a couple of things. 1. I learned and continue to believe That I am a Powerful, Expressive, Courageous, and Limitless Woman and 2. That my purpose is to create a nurturing world where people communicate with, respect, and love one another. 3. Being a grown-up is fucking hard.
A -f'in-men.

I wonder what the next 30 years is gonna be like...

T minus 50 days til the big day!
