Let’s hear it. I tried to choose a good variety of people to tag, so this could be interesting.

Hmmm, that is an interesting glimpse into you as a person…You’ve only ever lived in a total of 4 places? Wow, that’s not very many. I also never realized what a healthy eater you are!
Yeah, I haven’t moved around a lot. I like to travel, but I’ve only lived in four places. I don’t know if I’d call myself a healthy eater, but I don’t indulge in chips and candy nearly as much as I did when I was a kid.

As far as the healthy eating, you might not be the healthiest eater of all, but of your 5 favorite snacks, I think the chocolate chip cookes are the only “unhealthy” thing on the list.

Interesting assortment of facts and information, I’ll put together my answers in the next day or two. While I have lived a few more places than you, I too have not moved very often and most of the moves were when I was in college.

Not counting my dorm life, I only had two apartments while in college. To think that my first apartment was only $325/month (although I struggled to pay that at the time, lol).
My facts are posted, trackback is below – hope you enjoy them.
