it's the last day of march. the last day of my birthday month. i thought it would be fun to wrap it up by giving you some facts about myself. in writing this i realized that there are some things that i still want to share. some very personal, some interesting and some funny. hopefully nothing that will prevent me from getting a job in the near future. it's a good list to go by.
