i'm feeling: The current mood of fabulousb at www.imood.com

Ashley did this in her diary, so I figured, why not. (it’s not like I should be studying right now or anything…) here are 101 interesting facts…

1- my name is Brigitte, not Bridgette, Bridget, Brigette, or any other conceivable way of misspelling it

2- my dad is irish and my mom is french canadian (and hungarian), so they combined an irish name with the french spelling

4- I love hanging out with my brother and I admire my sister for being so many things that I never was at her age

5- I love music
