1. When I go to work, the clothes I wear usually have at least one pocket in which I can hold my office keys.

2. I keep a spare set of my office keys at my friends' office because it's faster and far less trouble to retrieve those keys from my friends' office then to wait for the building management to let me back into my own office.

3. If I happen to wear clothes to work that have no pockets, there is a good chance I will need the spare set of keys.

4. That happens once, maybe twice, a year.

5. I have very little sense of direction.

6. The thing I have most in common with Buffy is that I am un-mixy with the driving.

7. I figure I will only get lost faster if I drive.

8. I got on-line for the first time in March 2000.

9. I lived a happy, productive life before March 2000 without internet access.

10. I quickly became an internet addict. I have no idea how I would live if I could never have net access again (or even if I had to do without net access for a prolonged period of time).

11. The first on-line community I joined was at the WB Bronze.

12. My non-net friends and my family do not understand the attraction of posting boards or net communities and do not believe that one can truly be friends with someone one has never met face to face.

13. My non-net friends who know that there is a group of people who call/used to call themselves Bronzers who post on posting boards and are fans of the Jossverse (more or less) suspect that ya'll may be a bunch of raving lunatic perverts who might stalk, rape and kill me and then chop my body into pieces to scatter amongst all the jurisdictions in which all of you live.

14. I have meetage fear. I am afeared of meeting Bronzers in person. Not because I think ya'll may kill me and chop me into pieces and scatter my body parts around the globe but because I think if I went to a Bronzer gathering perhaps none of you would know me or want to spend time with me and Leather Jacket would refuse to hug me (*g*) or something like that.

15. I have only met one Bronzer in person.

16. The one Bronzer I met was traumatized by the meeting of me. To this day he occasionally mutters about chicken's (not Chiquens') feet.

17. If you meet me in real life and I ask you what you'd like to eat, you probably should not say "I'll eat anything" unless you really will eat anything.

18. If I tell you, "Don't say that because I can and will feed you chicken's feet", you might want to believe me.

19. No, I didn't actually feed him chicken's feet but I did take him into China Town to show him trays and trays of chicken's feet to prove that it was a real possibility for lunch.

20. I have never seen a complete episode of The Simpsons.

21. I did not watch the last couple of years of the X-Files nor did I see the X-Files movie (was there more than one?).

22. I did not watch most of Seinfield.

23. I have not watched any of the "dating reality TV shows" other than the commercials. Nor have I watched The Amazing Race, Trading Spaces, Big Brother, Fear Factor or Alias.

24. I have a few friends who suggest that I may be (pop) culturally deprived.

25. I have watched all the episodes of Nip/Tuck that have aired so far.

26. I have a friend who asked me to please stop watching Nip/Tuck because she likes this show and the shows I do watch tend to get cancelled.

27. I can go days, perhaps even a couple few weeks without having contact with my closest non-net friends before any of them will wonder if I am okay.

28. If I do not go online or have contact in some form with certain Bronzers within 2-3 days, someone will call to check on me to see if I am okay.

29. It is a bit scary how happy coffee can make me.

30. Other people may have noticed that I like coffee. I was at an early morning meeting with a cup of coffee on the table in front of me. Someone knocked my coffee over as he was trying to sit down next to me and put his stuff on the table. Coffee all over me, my purse, my calendar, my papers. He really must have sent the cup flying. The first thing he said was, "I'm sorry I ruined your coffee." (Ok, I hope people don't really think that I am such a coffee freak that the most important thing to me out of this incident was that he ruined my coffee *g*)

31. I got this idea from DreamingHawk and a couple other Bronzers said they did the same ~ I made a list of internet friends for the executor of my estate (or agent, if I am just incapacitated in a long-term or permanent way) to contact to let them know what happened to me in the event that I die or become incapacitated. I also wrote a message for my executor (or agent) to post on a couple of posting boards.

32. I sometimes obsess about things, usually to do with getting something done for work or trying to figure something out.

33. I also sometimes think I have Attention Deficit Disorder.

34. This means that sometimes I am worried about getting something done but nevertheless hop from one thing to the next and back again so that I get bits of several things going but it takes me longer to get any one thing completed. I used to be able to focus on just one thing, to the exclusion of everything else, until that one thing was done. I'm not sure why I really don't do that much anymore.

35. I am a night person. If I had the choice, I would work at night and sleep in later during the day.

36. Okay, if I really had a choice, I wouldn't work at all. If only someone would pay me to play on the internet ;)

37. I prefer Wordperfect over Word. (Hey, stop snickering!)

38. I hate the Word paperclip thing!!!

39. Yes, I know one can turn the paperclip thing off (and I have).

40. But I find it very disturbing that the paperclip thing was ever turned on! (Paperclip porn! I blame Sam!)

41. I think every law geek needs a weevil hand.

42. Bronzers have taught me about some very odd things.

43. Bronzers have taught me about the piercing of pink parts. (Waves @ Kenix, PDR and Tony.)

44. Amorphia introduced me to Jamie Oliver. Not literally. I asked her for some ideas for potlucks and she gave me recipes from Jamie Oliver. It caused me to watch Jamie Oliver's food TV shows.*g*

45. I learned a fair number of UK Bronzers despise Jamie Oliver.

46. I am easily entertained by mentioning Jamie Oliver to those UK Bronzers just to see their responses.

47. Or perhaps I am just easily entertained, period. Simple minds and all that *g*

48. I was a sweet and innocent newbie but the Bronzers changed all that ;)

49. Bronzers taught me about jaffa cakes and went into great detail as to how one properly eats jaffa cakes. I never heard of jaffa cakes before certain Bronzers informed me. (waves @ UK Bronzers especially mump, kenix, Tony, and PDR)

50. The last fic I wrote involved jaffa cake porn. See item 48 hereinabove.

51. notsoShyGirl wanted me to name said fic, "Giles Does Jaffa".

52. But I refrained.

53. I am a law geek.

54. I think I have been a law geek for too long because I find certain parts of the Internal Revenue Code and certain parts of legal cases to be funny. Really funny. Funny amusing, not just funny strange (although the law and especially the IRC can be that as well).

55. I remember that in the first month of law school, a law school professor made some kind of joke about a US Supreme Court decision. He laughed. A lot. And he said the funniest part was that a certain Justice wrote that decision rather than another Justice that one would have thought wrote it. At the time, all I could think of was that one may have thought another Justice wrote it if one had a clue about the differences between the Justices and actually had any grasp of the legal issues (unlike me) but I sincerely doubted it would have been funny even then. I am afraid that if I heard the same thing now, I might think it was actually funny.

56. I am fairly sure none of my law geek colleagues would understand chicken's feet trauma, chicken porn, jaffa cakes (and especially not jaffa cake porn), slash fic or the attraction of the Jossverse.

57. I spend too much time net surfing, posting and chatting.

58. I once unthinkingly included a "*g*" in an e-mail to another law geek.

59. The law geek, his paralegal and his secretary spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out what "*g*" was before finally calling me to ask.

60. At least I didn't use anything that would be harder to explain (like laughing one's ankles off, giving good computer, bapping, or other obscure things).

61. I give good computer. Just ask white wings. (I think it was white wings. Or possibly newt.)

62. When certain Bronzers were adamantly insisting that they could make their own definitions for existing Bronzer lingo (specifically slavishly devoted) I futilely tried to explain why just making up one's mind that a word or words had a certain meaning didn't actually change the meaning of the word(s) for anyone else by giving an example about how I could insist that "computer" meant "head" but no one else would understand what I meant if I used the word "computer" in lieu of "head".

63. Some wiseass helpful Bronzer (I still suspect white wings or newt) then came up with the example of saying that I give good computer.

64. I am memory impaired. Probably senile. Hence my inability to remember whom to blame credit with saying that I give good computer.

65. I usually like to cook.

66. I don't like to clean up, especially after cooking.

67. I often cook without a recipe or without strictly following a recipe.

68. My family encouraged me to be creative.

69. Even when the first food item I prepared for them was a salad that included pieces of bubble gum (hey! I was about 4 years old!).

70. The bubble gum salad was for a family dinner that included aunts and uncles and my grandmother as well as my immediate family. They all discovered the gum after they started eating.

71. I think I've improved as a cook since then ;)

72. No one (to the best of my knowledge) has died or fallen ill from eating my cooking.

73. I belong to the GLR (Girls Who Love Riley) famlet.

74. I am a bad mamalet because I think I've lost track of a couple few kidlets.

75. But hey! I have a lot of kidlets!

76. And the GLR famlet tree is more like a vortex! (which DreamingHawk will get me for saying that if she ever sees this) *g*

77. I am math-impaired.

78. So it's not my fault if this list has more or less than 100 items.*g*

79. I try to teach my leetle monkey boy nephew useful things like how to say, "uhoh".

80. I raised tropical fresh water fish (guppies, mollies, tetras, etc.) from 2 or 3 years of age until my last year of law school).

81. My fish bred and I occasionally (rarely) got to see baby fishies being born.

82. When I was about 4 or 5, I found a dead (recently dead), pregnant guppy floating in my fish tank.

83. I decided to perform a cesarean section on the dead, pregnant guppy because I wanted to try to save the babies, despite the fact that I had never seen one done on anything, anywhere (not even T.V.), and had not a clue what was involved other than the mommy's tummy was cut open to take the baby out.

84. I'm not even sure where I had heard about cesarean sections. I think I may not have even known what it was called at the time.

85. Too bad no one told me that I didn't have to cut the head off to perform a cesarean section. (and good thing I wasn't then and didn't become a vet or medical doctor *g*).

85. But! all the baby guppies lived after the cesarean section. And yes, the mama fish really was dead (before the "surgery") :p

86. Then my parents found out what I did and mildly freaked out, mainly because I wasn't supposed to be playing with knives. Oh, okay, and perhaps a wee bit because they didn't expect me to save the baby fishies in such a manner.

87. I might have been a tad strange as a child.

88. I grew up with more than a few geek qualities.

89. I left the State of my residence for law school.

90. I left my fish with my parents while I was in law school.

91. The first year I was away, all my fishies died.

92. My mom bought new fishies right before I returned home from law school for the summer.

93. In the second year while I was away at law school, all my fishies died.

94. My mom bought new fishies right before I returned home again.

95. In the third year I was away at law school, all my fishies died.

96. When I returned home, my mom did not replace the fishies. She just confessed that she was a killer of fishies.

97. I have not raised fish since then.

98. To the best of my knowledge, my mama has not killed any fish since then.

99. I cross-stitch, embroider, do needlepoint, latchhook, crochet (but do not know how to knit).

100. I need to learn more practical skills.
