1. I have a very high threshold for bad television and movies...I draw the line before CSI Miami but after CSI New York.

2. I am one of those people that will unhesitatingly answer a question whether or not I know the answer. I contend that I am right at least 75% of the time, though there has been some debate on that in my household.

3. I was born 4 months after my dad died. He committed suicide. I have made peace with my genetics and am no longer worried that I might follow in his footsteps. Now I worry about my children.

4. I lost my 4th grade spelling bee on the word "environment". I have never misspelled it again but I always hesitate on the "iron" part and sound it out in my head.

5. I feel that I am lazier than the average bear; especially when it concerns housekeeping.

6. I have had two “unplanned” c-sections. The term “natural childbirth” bugs me…but not as much as the anti-caesarean hysteria that generally fails to support those of us that had to have one. I feel sorry for people that have vanity c-sections.

7. I have a terrible memory. I don’t know if it was self-induced or not (insert hilarious joke here).

8. When I was single I loved giving people rides to the airport, especially at 5am.

9. I own a really nice pool stick.

10. I was an incredibly sickly child. I had pneumonia three times before I was 4 years old, tubes in my ears, a dust mold and Christmas Tree allergy, and, this one time, all of my skin peeled off. I got better in time to have an almost perfect elementary school attendance.

11. I have double-jointed wrists.

12. I have a very long life-line on my palm that, while I do not believe in palmistry, comforts me when I worry about dying.

13. My favorite nail polish is “Monsooner Or Later” because it is orange and a really bad pun. It is from O.P.I.’s India line.

14. I love really bad puns more than just about anything.

15. I have a really good fart story that involves my ass, Cheetos, and In-Laws. I can finally tell it without collapsing in hysterical laughter.

16. I participated in the Odyssey of the Mind and loved it. Back then it was called Olympics of the Mind, which is a much better name.

17. I have moved 22 times.

18. My metabolism caught up with me when I turned 24 years old. Sometimes it is hard for me to remember that I spend the majority of my life very skinny.

19. I started smoking when I was 15. My first cigarette was a Now cigarette that has holes in the filter. It is designed to help you quit smoking. From there I started stealing Pall Mall Unfiltered out of my step-dad’s ashtray. I smoked 1-2 packs a day from age 16 to 29. Mostly Camel Lights.

20. I firmly believe in the power of knocking on wood.

21. I have had several bad “friend breakups” that are in many ways due to the fact that I cannot confront people over behavior I deem to be unacceptable in a friend.

22. I have a sneaking suspicion that I am one of those people that gives unwanted advice.

23. I have dreams of writing professionally but am too much of a coward to actually do something about it. Also, it may have something to do with #5 on this list.

24. I know there are people out there who remember me only as “that psycho chick”

25. I am a crazy lucky person, especially looking back at all of the times that really horrible things could have happened to me. A modern day Mr. Magoo if you will.
