1. I am a cow­girl. Not really, but I’ll have you tied up in under 10 sec­onds.
2. I am a sucker for anatom­i­cal mod­els, type­writ­ers, and any­thing you’d find in a riker mount.
3. I have almost no sense of smell. Some­times I can smell stuff when I hold it up to my nose, but I can never smell any­thing air­borne. There are a few things I can’t smell at all, ever, includ­ing by not lim­ited to: Body Odor, Mar­i­juana & paint.
4. My most-listened-to song of 2008 was “Oh My Stars” by A Weather.
5. The first cas­sette I ever owned was Weird Al Yancovic’s “Fat”. My first Cd was Green Day’s “Dookie”.
6. I col­lect words & phrases that are magic to me. I can’t describe what this means except that I know whem when I see them. For exam­ple, L’esprit de l’escalier, Dia­cope, & Hypal­lage.
7. Some fic­tional heros of mine are Pippi Long­stock­ing, Johnny Tru­ant, Bucky Wun­der­lick, Tank Girl, Pri­mav­era Bobin­ski & Billy Chaka.
8. I will only offer to teach you the gui­tar if I have a crush on you.
9. I am in the music video for Beirut’s “Ele­phant Gun”, and Maroon 5’s “Won’t Go Home With­out You.“
10. One time, when I was a kid, my mom described me as 5-going-on-20. I didn’t know what this meant, so I repeated it to any­one who would ask me how old I was. This hap­pened at least a dozen times before any­one explained it to me.
11. I have never bro­ken a bone.
12. I can­not roll my “r“s
13. I can clap with one hand. also both, indi­vid­u­ally.
14. I have extreme dif­fi­culty swal­low­ing pills.
15. When I was 4, I con­vinced my mom that I had been replaced by an iden­ti­cal twin of myself. I gave myself an absurd name, which I sadly can­not remem­ber. My mom played along so well I truly believed I had con­vinced her, and later I had to tell her that I swapped places with my twin once more. I didn’t fig­ure out that she was smarter than me about this until I was at least 7.
16. My senior year of col­lege, I had to write myself a 5 year plan for what I planned on doing after grad­u­a­tion. My plan was: “Stay Awe­some!”. I got an A.
