    2. Name as it appears on your birth certificate?  Terrie Beth Chenault
    3. Nicknames? When I was in high school I was Munchkin - Nothing since then has stuck unless you count my Xanga name, quiltnmomi.**" TBC" - we used to call her tuberculosis when we were kids but she would get mad and tell on us **
    4. Where do you come from?  Generally I speak from a philosophy of Christian Theism ** somewhere over the rainbow **
    5. Number of candles that appeared on your last birthday cake:  39, really, I'm actually 39, NO I'm not 40 something just SAYING I'm 39. ** yeah right .... okay **
