But until I do:

1.Name as it appears on your birth certificate: Mitchell Paul

3. Birth Parent's names? Bruce and Jan

4. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake? I can't remember the last time I actually had a birthday cake. I think I actually had a Lemon Supreme Pie from Baker's Square. It was yummy. I think it had one candle.

5. Favorite animal: (Tie) Madeline and Nosemarie, the family cats.

6. Tattoo? Almost got an anchor on my forearm when I was in Seattle back in college - but nope. Never will, either.
