25 Random Things About Me

1. My profession notwithstanding, dressing up is entirely antithetical to my sartorial nature. I would wear jeans and a t-shirt every day if I could.
2. I am addicted to Tetris. My best 40-line sprint time is 0:49.273. Seriously.
3. I write pop songs, and I like them.
4. I hate spending money. I have little money to spend. This works out well.
5. If I could, I would eat Tejas Trios for every meal, and wash them down with Mexican martinis...yes, even for breakfast.
6. If you're reading this, I probably miss you more than I'd admit.
7. There are no words to express how much I love learning.
8. I never knew my biological father, but my dad is one of the greatest people I've ever known.
9. Though I have loved living everywhere I've moved (especially Austin), Seattle and Bellingham will always be home to me.
10. I am a cat person, and have only had three throughout my life: Figaro and Charlie at my parents', and M'ow. I will discuss neither the Cleo fiasco nor the lifelong toll it has had on my psyche in the present note.
11. I am addicted to my computer and the internet, and have been a Macophile since 2001. I've owned an iBook, a PowerBook, an iPod, an iPod nano, and an iPhone. I will never go back.
12. I need time alone. Like, a lot of time.
13. I've owned two cars in my life: my 1994 Ford Aspire (Coche/Ass-Pyre) and my 2001 Honda Accord (Coche Dos).
14. I've voted for either one or two winning presidential candidates (depending on who you think won in 2000).
15. I love reading aloud.
16. Vodka in the summer, scotch in the winter. Who am I kidding? Anytime, anyplace, whatever you're up for.
17. I am horrible about appreciating things while I'm living them. Thus, I'm sure, the persistent streak of nostalgia running through my life.
18. I had my left ear pierced throughout high school.
19. After getting off the school bus in elementary school, I used to run--arms extended--down our cul-de-sac in the hopes that I would take off like Superman. I will not disclose whether this ever worked.
20. I've had four surgeries, and would like to hold there for a while, please.
21. I cannot draw to save my life.
22. I am absolutely, without question a night owl. Post-midnight is prime time for artistic productivity.
23. After concerts, I go home...and study.
24. I love classical music, but almost never listen to it for pleasure.
25. I love traveling, but I love home more (i.e., I was born a house cat by the sleight of my mother's hand).
