1. She had a boring childhood. With no siblings to play with her, parents that worked all the time, and a hamster that would just hide from her, Mimi had nothing to do.
2. When Pauly died and she got a new hamster, she tried naming it The Situation as a joke. Her parents forbade her from ever watching Jersey Shore again (which she, of course, ignored) and she settled for Paulie. (Spelling differences are important, you know.)
3. She's never been fascinated with anyone as much as she is with Izzy Hendrix. He kind of freaks her out and makes her feel funny at the same time.
4. She broke up with Joe because he was an ass. And because of other things, but let's not get into that.
5. Mimi makes fun of things she likes all the time.
