I know some people hate this sort of thing, but I actually LIKE memes. They mean that someone thought of me, and that I get to fill out a form (yes, I’m strange like that), and that I get to usually talk about myself. What’s not to like? So, after a year and a half of blogging, I’m actually a cool kid. Kaitlin at primum non nocere has tagged me – for the first time. Oh, sure, I’ve filled out memes before, but I’ve searched them out – I’ve never been actually given the task by someone else. So I’ve lost my meme virginity to a woman…does that mean I’m gay? Even if I am, I could have done much worse. Kaitlin is a really cool gal who’s currently in medical school, and thinks I should be a doctor or a politician. So again, what’s not to like? 
Pop on over and visit her blog – you won’t be disappointed.
- WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Nope. But legend has it that my parents decided to have me while watching a Shirley Temple movie. Sorry Mom and Dad that I don’t have rosy cheeks and tap dance…I guess you got the blonde hair though…

Generally I save my sugar for things like raw cookie dough and tubs of icing – you know, the important stuff.

Tagging is good for bloggers because of tagging we will get visitors and automatically our network increases.
But 55 questions????
I liked your sense of humor when you said like you lost your meme virginity to a woman…lol
thank you for your kind words! i enjoyed reading your answers–fun stuff, for sure.
only one thing is missing–you forgot to tag someone!
perhaps you might start with “the parents zone.” <–there’s no whining in blogs, not even over 55 questions.
