About the author 01/16/09

1. When I eat popcorn, I will suck and suck and suck on the unpopped kernels until they become soft, and then I'll peel off the skin with my teeth and break open the center.

2. I can only drink and actually enjoy domesticated beer with a wedge of lime in it, that goes for Bud lite, Miller lite, Coors lite, Milwalkees (sp?) Best... Corona has damaged my ability to drink regular beer.

3. When I was little I hated being a girl so I'd try to pee facing the toilet like a boy. It didn't work well, and it freaked my mom out when she walked in on me one day.

4. My little brother once took a snow-white dump in the tub when we were taking a bath together. Not EXACTLY a weird thing about me, but when you're seventeen and your brother is twelve and your dad says that "once you can vote, you can bathe on your own", and then your brother cries and takes a white duece in the shared bathwater that eight other family members have bathed in before you, starting with your grandma who is incontinent...it sticks with you. Literally and figurativley.

5. I have a piece of pencil lead stuck in my left palm from when I got stabbed with a pencil when I was about seven.

6. When my dog starts to need a bath he smells like Fritos and I don't mind. Dean actually enjoys it and will sit there and sniff him, I won't go that far, but it's an oddly comforting smell.

7. I've never seen "Jaws" or "Ghostbusters"
