Do you have any siblings? What are they like?

I have an older brother that is 13 months older than me.  He works for our state DOT (dept. of transportation) 

I've always felt like he never "liked" me.  I'm still not certain he does. I've always wished we had a much better relationship.  I know I can count on him, so I guess that's all that matters.

Have you ever won a trophy? 

no, just a few awards through blogs, isn't that sad?

Name one thing that not many people know about you.

I love, love rap music. (please don't hold that against me)

What is your earliest memory?

I was 4 and my brother was 5, it was his first day of kindergarten.  I was watching out the window of him getting on the bus.  The bus drove away with him and I just sat in the floor and cried.  I can remember the baby sitter asking me what was wrong and I said "I'm going to miss him".

AC/DC (not anymore though)

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Who is the person you respect the most, and why?
