50 things
To celebrate my 30th birthday today I have collected here 50 more or less random things about myself. No, this is not my original idea. This is one of those memes you see in time to time on blogs and Facebook. This time I was inspired by 50 things list on a blog called oh, hello friend. You may know some of the things I've listed her or maybe most of them. Or none.
