Have I ever steered you wrong?

so K, ever the diligent roommate - has made it her goal to "complete" my list of facts about me. I have removed it from comments and copied it to today's blog. Many are accurate and I've clarified some with my own additions in italics and braces. read and enjoy. Thanks K!

(I like it how they seem to revolve around food.)

thanks hun, I deleted evil spam comment.
thanks - I love the facts too - I like how it makes it seem as though I always think about food - mainly because it's true (on my way to make dinner - mmmmm pita pizza!)

High five, Kailey, & high five, Talibah! Awesome set of facts, Kailey, good job. Wanna make one for me? ;) (I *am* working on one for myself, but always interesting to see what others say....)

Ah, the inner language of Spadina House/Apt .... thats what I'm talkin' about. (Although no one has a clue what I'm sayin') :)

Hey thinking of food is not a bad thing ... people would be lying if they said they never thought of food! Guys think about food all the bloody time ... why can't we?
