- well i haven't posted in a while, so here is a huge post, i have been working on this one since last week. here we go - 101 things all about me!

- sometimes i am hugely confident that my businesses will be a success, other times i doubt i will make another penny

- i never remember any celebrities name, unless they are super famous, like julia roberts
- it drives me absolutely mad when i can't remember why someone looks familiar in a movie or tv show or where i saw them last

when i was a kid i collected business cards - i like to think of myself as an artist
- i often hate whatever i design, until i revisit it later (months even years), then i am usually satisfied
- i want to come up with a plan to save buffalo - or rather put it back on the map

- i always fall asleep to the tv, it distracts me from my over analyzing madness long enough to fall asleep
- i am really bad at returning phone calls from friends
- i am also slightly afraid of the phone when i have to call someone i don't know, this works out awesome in a sales job, let me tell you
- even though i quit my old job, i miss it, not the insanity, but the people and my actual work
- i love popcorn
- i also love ice cream
- i often can't decide between the 2

- i have a mild purse obsession
- i love paper, and i have an emotional disconnect from conservation of trees and my love for beautiful papers
