Twenty Facts About Me
So, this is my first entry, really. I got tagged by Mel to write 20 facts about myself, and seeing as I don't have much to do tonight...

1. I have lived in 3 states, one American non-state, and 6 cities (Niagara Falls, NY; Washington, DC; Brussels, Belgium; Rockville, Maryland; Beijing, China; Arlington, VA; New York, NY)

2. Both of my parents are only children, so I have no aunts, uncles, or first cousins.

3. My favorite cookies are Girl Scout Tagalogs.

4. I have been featured on three TV shows, in two magazines, and in a pantyhose ad.

5. I have visited more countries than states (20) and provinces (2) combined.
6. If I were a boy, my name would be Bruce.
