I'm
good at singing, and singing is like a drug to me |

|
People "misusing" quotation marks bugs me. A lot. |
|
052
|
I
sunburn easily. |
|
053
|
I'm
ambidextrous. I write with my left, mouse with my right. Because

|
I'm very happy to live by a big body of water. |
|
055

like my steak very rare. |

|
064

a school biology teacher, partly because really liked biology,
had fantastic teacher in school. |
|
065
|

volunteered at Springbrook Nature Center, grades 7 through
12. In my experiences there I banded birds, cleaned mouse
cages, ate grasshoppers among many, many other things. |
|
066
|
I
love dancing alone, but I feel like a total misfit dancing
with a partner. |
|
067
|
I
eat fairly healthy - my biggest problem is that I don't stop
to eat. I skip meals all the time. I wish I could take a pill
instead of eating. |
|
068
|
I
appreciate good food when it's in front of me, but I'm a pretty
basic, pragmatic eater. |
|
069
|
I
took German in high school. It's still in meinen Kopf somewhere.

|
079
|
I'm
heterosexual, though more accurately, autosexual. |
|
080
|
I
don't like pastel colors, gradients or diagonal patterns.
Or the color purple. |
|
081

much rather be cold than hot. I can't think if it's hotter
than 80 degrees. |
|
082
|
I
am a know-it-all. |
|
083
|
The
Challenger exploded on my 12th birthday. |

084

|
088
|

first fell in love when I was 20. |
|
089

used to be the person who was always early or punctual. Now
I've become the person who's always just a little late. |
|
090
|
My
favorite poem is No. 29 from Lawrence Ferlinghetti's Coney
Island of the Mind. |
|
091
|
My
favorite book is Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder. Wonder is
vital. |
|
092
|
I'm
more pragmatic than romantic. I'm more of an idealist than
a realist. More of a lyric than a cynic. |
|
093
|
I've
had many hair colors, broadly speaking everything but pink,
orange and purple. I like having black hair because it makes
my hazel eyes look greener. |
|
094
|
The
first album I ever bought was The Cars' Heartbreak City. I
biked to Target in Fridley Minnesota. |
|
095
|
If
I didn't travel so much for work, I'd like to have a pet hedgehog.
I now have a hedgehog and
a cat. And a petsitter. |
|
096
|
I
loved my Speak and Spell I had as a child. I wished I had
more than one module for it. |
|
097
|
I've
got more ideas in my head than I could realize in ten lifetimes.
|
|
098
|
I
dream such strange vivid stuff at night that I'm glad my brain
is still working hard while I sleep. |
|
099
|
Most
mornings I wake up singing something in my head. |
|
100
|
I
hope you are well. |
