ok, reasons why I think we would get along in real life:
#10 (i was a psych major), 15 (me too!!), 34, 40 (i have a quote book since I was 15 of those that have particularly struck me), 41 (I love the smell of old paper).

btw, once I have my alterations made to the 10 cent clothes, I'll post before and after pictures.

can you come move to wisco? I pay you in hairballs and diet pepsi.. both of which are always in large supply at mi casa. I'm going through an emotional breakdown of sorts and I need you to come steal me away and whisk me to this magical field where we talk about happy things. Hey debbie downer alert.. sorry for raining on your happy post. it makes me happy that you're happy. and posting more outfits. something that i need to get back to doing.. right after i get done with this chocolate ice cream.

Think about it.. I'll clean the hairballs off the couch for you.

So, I read the list... loved that you got all emotionally connected (? Sounds kinda Tyra Banks-ish... you know what I mean) but all I can remember is poutine and how I want some now.
