All about me

I realize this post is horribly self-centered. Normally I'm not. Really. But I got this idea from reading another blog and thought it interesting to learn a little bit about another blogger. So here goes.

1. I get confused when I think of God.

2. I believe that when my father dies, he’ll go to a wonderful farm where he can plant and grow beautiful vegetables. There will be a lot of animals on this farm and he will have dogs…many dogs. And a quiet pine-walled room where he can read in front of a fireplace in peace and quiet.

3. I am scared of the police, even though I don’t tend to break the law.

4. I’ve only been officially drunk 4 times.

7. I’ve always had very vividly characterized imaginary boyfriends.

8. My first “boyfriend” was Davy Jones of the Monkees.
