25 Random Notions About Me
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25
random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25
people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged
you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(Don't feel guilty, I had to be tagged six times before I got around to it.)
1. If I must eat “commercial, candy-store chocolate”, please let it be a York Peppermint Patty.
2. I do not willingly relinquish an open microphone.
3. I dream of a greener future in which I live close enough to my work that I can walk or ride my bicycle.
4. I have reinvented myself almost a dozen times in the last 20 years and it’s getting to be that time again.
5. I don’t eat chicken not because of health or PETA reasons but because I simply do not like it.
6. The last time I ate a steak was in Manhattan, Montana with Steve Bowen and James Gierman. I stopped eating beef because the rain forest has been decimated by clear cutting in order to graze cattle.
7. I once lived in a garret in Paris.
8. And I once lived on a commune in Upstate New York.
9. My 30th birthday was spent in Moscow where the gendarmes at the Hotel Leningradskaya attempted to arrest me.
10. I aspire to spend a night in jail for civil disobedience although I may have missed my opportunity (hope-fully.)
11. I believe my dead father leaves me coins.
12. The Grand Canyon is “awesome.” (I know because I’ve been there a few times.) Therefore, the use of “awesome” in response to providing my order to a waitress or completing a doctor’s health survey or to describe my macaroni & cheese drives me completely crazy.
13. I’m in better condition physically and emotionally than I was ten years ago.
14. Dogs make me laugh.
15. I know all the words to La Marseillesaise in French and I can spell it and translate it.
16. I love to research.
17. My therapist told me that I am not a leader. Nor am I a follower. “You are a goer,” she said, “and if someone goes with you, that’s fine and if they don’t, that’s fine, too.” And this is why I pay her.
18. There is a dent in my skull from the time I hit my head on a radiator when I was two. It is narrow and about three inches long and the edge of a radiator coil fits neatly into it.
19. I would rather be in Italy than just about anywhere else on Earth.
20. I adore high heels. They do not, however, feel the same about me.
21. Yoga makes my world better.
22. George is my favorite Beatle.
23. I’m a wicked stepmother.
24. An upper class British accent makes me weak at the knees. A real one.
25. If it wouldn’t kill me, I would so be a pack a day smoker. After all these years of not smoking, I still need something to do with my hands.
