11. Dolling History: I made my first doll on June 10, 2004 and stopped after that because I didn’t like it and really didn’t enjoy dolling at the time. But, my wee sib Brandon (hehe) kept pestering me to keep trying and I started back up again late August, early September of that year.
12. Misc: I'm a pretty random person. I like being spontaneous and hate when things get too predictable. I'm goofy around my friends but tend to be fairly shy around people I don't really know. I don't talk very often, unless I have something to say, because there is bliss in silence. I hate when people feel the need to talk just for the sake of talking although I admit, when done well, it makes for an interesting time. lol! Hmmm.. what else... I have a serious addiction to Barnes and Noble... I should never visit their site or go to the store because I usually end up coming out with something.
