Dina Connolly Hello, my name is Dina Connolly. Welcome to my bio. I hope you enjoy your stay while you are here. Would like some tea? Water? Milk? That's all I usually have to drink in my kitchen, although recently I learned from Oprah that I need more fiber in my diet. And Whole Grains are really good for you. I never watch Oprah. It just so happens the one time I did watch it was all about one's health and how important it is that your poop takes the form of an "S" shape. So you should always look at your poop, and fart at least fourteen times a day, especially if you are a woman. So... you probably want to know some stuff about me, other than what I have recently learned from Oprah. Right. Here's a short list: -I was born and raised on the Southside; -I'm a Leo; -I have a fish named Billy; -Sometimes at night I will wake up and find myself sitting up in bed, mid-sentence. It's freaky. Or, here, maybe I should start over. My Biography By Dina Connolly I was born to a lower middle class family on the Southside. The oldest of three children, I was in charge of the house while my father worked as a labor man and went to school and my mother waited tables. We lived in a two bedroom apartment near Marquette Park, and I remember clearly those bright summer days when my brother and my sister and I would take to the park's green grass and mucky lagoon. Ah, those were the days. I remember the day we moved out of that little apartment... I was so thrilled that we were finally moving into a house, as terrifying as it all was, the prospect of starting a new life at a new high school. But I was going to miss that apartment. In my final moments, I shut my eyes in the living room and walked through the entire apartment with my eyes closed. I knew it that well. Now I am going to close my eyes and tell you about my life. All is dark, but I can see so very clearly. Ah, okay, I just made myself kind of puke. It's all true, just not so…whimsical-like. And lame. But at least I have a good start for when I am old and write my memoirs, eh? Okay, let's try another route. Please bear with me, I'm under a lot of pressure to be smart and artistic and entertaining all in one bio.
