1. I am ambi-dextrous. I eat with my right or left, can write legibly with both with some practice with my left and I shoot pool and darts with my left.

2. I have broken or cracked over half the bones in my body.

3. Most of them before I was 18.

4. My middle name is most assuredly not Grace.

5. Even though I was born on a Sunday. Sunday's child is full of grace

6. I am an active member of the American Legion Auxiliary and consider myself very patriotic.

7. I once bowled a game against Parker Bohn III and beat him. for those of you who have no clue, he is a pro bowler who is quite good *g*

8. I went through a horse mad phase like most girls; I even wanted to be a jockey.

9. I soon gave that up because I was 5' 6" and 150lbs in middle school.

10. At about the same time, I fell in love with the game of football and played flag football all the way through college. If I would have been allowed to play high school football I would have. I graduated in 1982, so girls didn't even play Pop Warner football much less High School football

11. I am a lifelong Red Sox fan which should come as no surprise but I did like the Yankees in the Graig Nettles, Thurman Munson era.

12. I am of the firm belief in Karma biting you in the ass when you least expect it. Several people I know are really in trouble with Karma.

13. My sister tried to teach me to drive a stick-shift when I was 21. She failed badly. Hence if I ever get a really cool sports car I will either A) have to get it with automatic or 2) hire a chauffeur. Alternatively I could actually try and learn to drive a stick shift people, shift. I already drive that kind of stick

14. I am deathly afraid of spiders. I have learned to kill them on my own; I just am freaked out by them. Other bugs, not so much.

15. I worked at a pet store for a year. Once, one of the tarantulas escaped and I fled screaming from the store. Not so good for business.

16. I did however take care of the various snakes we had. I especially loved this one we had. It was a boa constrictor named Al. I used to walk around the store with him draped around my neck.

17. Whenever I watch football or baseball on the TV, I have a tendency to scream at the TV when the umps blow a call or the players make bone-headed moves. I am looking at you Mr Manny I can steal 2nd when there are two outs in the 8th and we are down by only one run Ramirez

18. I once drove cross country from Seattle to NY and actually earned money for it. No, it wasn't running guns or drugs. This couple hired me to drive their car cross country because they were moving and didn't want to do it. It was great car a Lincoln Town Car with all the extras. They paid my expenses gas, food, lodging, tolls plus $1000. and this was in 1983

19. I used to be afraid of heights, but I cured myself of that when I learned to fly. My sister remains freaked out by heights though.

20. Jaysus, I am only to number 20 and I am already running out of things to say. I will never make it to 100.

21. I curse like a sailor. Thank god I don't look like one.

22. My Dad is the one I learned to curse from. Although he tried to be careful around my sister and I, he still slipped. His favourite expression when he knew we were around is Piss on Herbie

23. I use that expression myself occasionally. It always shocks the hell out of people.

24. I hate wearing a dress. About the only time I will wear one is for a funeral or wedding.

25. At one point in college, I owned over 100 pairs of shoes. My college roommate at the time worked for a company that imported shoes like Nine West. The employees were allowed to buy as many pairs as they liked for $10.

26. Now I own about 10 pairs. Three of which are sneakers.

27. I ran a student group in college. We would rent second run movies from distribution companies in NYC and show them on campus for $2. This made the student activities group about $10,000 a year in profits.

28. Because of my involvement with this group, I got to help set up the world premiere of After Hours which was a film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Griffin Dunne, Roseanna Arquette and Linda Fiorentino. I got to mingle with all the stars at the premiere.

29. It was not as exciting as it sounds.

30. I was an extra in the made for TV movie The Abduction of Kari Swenson. You can see me in crowd scenes filmed to recreate the kidnapping of Kari (who was an Olympic Bi-athlete) when she was racing. This was filmed in Lake Placid.

31. I was also an extra in G.I. Jane. They filmed scenes of Demi Moore doing skeleton sliding face first down an icy, twisting chute but all of those scenes ended up on the cutting room floor.

32. I took voice lessons for eight years. Four in high school and four in college.

33. I have eaten such varied things as elk, caribou, squid, rattlesnake, fried grasshoppers, and prairie oysters.

34. The last thing I will never eat again. I would rather eat a live bug ala Survivor than do that.

35. My goal in life is to visit or drive through all 50 states before I die.

36. So far, I am more than halfway to that goal. The goal of visiting, not dying.

37. I can't believe I will turn 39 in a little over a month. I still get carded occasionally though, which will earn the carder a kiss.

38. Even if it is a woman.

39. I only have one sister and no biological nieces or nephews.

40. I have 10 nieces and nephews through adoption me adopting them or vice versa

41. I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy and fly fighters. Even though my congressman would have recommended me and I had the grades, I didn't go.

42. They wouldn't let me fly fighters. I graduated college in 1982. Back then, the only thing women could fly were transports

43. Gee, I am almost halfway done.

44. I don't really care for chocolate. Once in a while, I will have a Reese PB Cup or some M&M's.

45. I was allergic to chocolate growing up so I never got any at Halloween or Easter.

46. In fact, I am not so much of a sweet tooth person.

47. Now put a plate of nachos or real Buffalo wings in front of me and I am snarfing them up like there is no tomorrow.

48. I used to be quite the drinker in college. In fact, I swilled beer with the best of them.

49. Now, I am pretty much a tee-totaler. An occasional drink when I go out for dinner and that is about it.

50. Starr purchased a six-pack of Smirnoff Ice for me right before I moved here last August. The Boy broke one on accident and I have one left. That should tell you how much I drink.

51. Ergo, I would be a cheap date.

52. But not easy.

53. One other reason I couldn't fly for the Air Force-I have horrible eyesight. In fact, I am close to being legally blind.

54. I have worn glasses since I was 6. I tried contacts in college, but my eyes are so dry that wearing them for any length of time is uncomfortable.

55. It's too bad, really, because my eyes are my best feature or so I am told

56. I am a voracious reader. I read all the time, except for when I am driving.

57. Hey, have you ever driven on I5? Holy crap, you try reading when everyone is trying to occupy the same spot in the space time continuum as you.

58. My favourite authors are in order Stephen King, J.D. Robb, Janet Evanovich, Tom Clancy, and Piers Anthony. As you can see, I have very eclectic reading tastes. About the only thing I won't read are Westerns and Agatha Christie type mysteries.

59. Right now if I could have any job in the world, it would be as a Winston Cup driver.

60. I feel pretty qualified, since I drive I5 twice a day to and from work.

61. Over halfway there and I am really running out of ideas.

62. When I was growing up, I wanted to be a Dr. I suppose it was because my mother has Multiple Sclerosis and I wanted to be the one to discover a cure for it.

63. Sadly, I ran headlong into O-Chem in college and did very badly. That was the end of that.

64. I have a Masters degree in Psychology that I do not use. I enjoy the work that I do and I think that my insights into people have always helped me on the job.

65. I hate the colour pink. Of any hue.

66. On the other hand, I adore yellow except for baby-pastelly yellow.

67. Even though I am 5'8" tall, I have really short legs. I have a 27" inseam to be exact.

68. That makes buying pants a real bitch.

69. I hate shopping with a passion. My sister used to drag me clothes shopping with her and spends hours in one store at the mall. I swear she looked at every item on every rack. It got so I would bring a book and sit in a chair by the fitting room and veto most of her choices.

70. I was the one to teach my sister how to wear makeup, style her hair she had that 70's hair-long, straight, no bangs and parted down the middle look forever and dress in flattering clothes.

71. She is five years older than me.

72. There is one exception to the I hate to shop rule. I could spend hours and hours in a bookstore. Preferably a used bookstore-I love the smell of older books.

73. If I ever win the lottery, I plan on opening a used bookstore.

74. As I am futilely sitting here trying to come up with 26 more, the puppies are in their kennel next to me, snoring happily away.

75. I am not a dog person. Don't get me wrong, I like dogs. I just prefer cats.

76. So why are their two dogs snoring away? Well blame it on Starr. We have two adorable pug puppies that will make anyone love them.

77. Pugs really are not dogs though-they are leetle short people with fur coats.

78. I do not have a single piercing in my body. I have had my ears pierced on two separate occasions. Both times my ears became infected, even when I tried gold, silver, stainless steel, etc for earrings and used alcohol and peroxide faithfully. I guess my body chemistry is smart and doesn't want my body to be mutilated in any way.

79. Gee, I haven't discussed my musical tastes yet-I like what is now called classic rock. Styx, The Eagles, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin are among my favourites. I also like Meatloaf, Van Halen with David Lee Roth, and most eighties rock. I hate rap and most of the music today. although I do make a few exceptions

80. My favourite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. It was the first movie I owned on tape and the first one I owned on DVD.

81. I have a fairly eclectic range of tastes in movies as well. Anything with Michael Biehn in it is watchable, along with the first two Alien movies, the first two Terminators and the LoTR trilogies. About the only thing I won't watch are Westerns.

82. I would make some man a great wife. I love to watch sports on TV, so I wouldn't be nagging him to watch something else.

83. I can curse fairly fluently in 6 languages. I can also read and translate 3-Spanish, French, and Italian. I have trouble translating my thoughts from English to those languages but no trouble the other way.

84. When I graduated from college, I was recruited by the FBI to join their new profiling unit that was developed by John Douglas. My advisor was a friend of his and he recommended me to him. I turned them down, because I didn't think I could handle thinking about and dealing with the absolute dregs of humanity for days and weeks on end without losing a bit of myself.

85. This is about the only decision that I have made in my life that I don't second guess you know; play the What if?? game or regret. There are plenty of others for that.

86. Even though I grew up near Lake Placid NY where we have 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Mud Season and the Fourth of July and did my fair share of skiing on IceFaceWhiteFace Mountain, I really hate winter and the cold.

87. Speaking of Lake Placid, I was a volunteer usher at the Olympic Arena for the 1980 Winter Olympics. I was 16 at the time and it was one of the best experiences I ever had.

88. Most people can remember where they were when the US team beat the Russians. I was there at the game. I was also at the Gold medal game with Sweden.

89. I still have the autographs of the whole hockey team and the butt-ugly tracksuit uniform I had to wear.

90. I also got Eric Heiden's autograph. The man had thighs the size of tree trunks.

91. My very first computer was a Commodore 64. I learned to program on it in Basic. which I have since forgotten and it played a game similar to Pong.

92. I don't wear a whole lot of makeup and I hate wearing nail polish. It makes my fingers feel like they can't breathe.

93. I have never swum in the Ocean, despite living most of my life about a 6 hour drive away from the Atlantic. Even worse, I now live about 2 hours from the Pacific.

94. I have swum in all five Great Lakes though. Not that it is any different from swimming in a lake around where I used to live.

95. I took flying lessons for six months when I lived in Alaska with some friends from college. The freedom and beauty when you are up there is amazing.

96. Holy fuck, these last few are hard to come up with. I think I have told you most everything about me, except my bra size and that you are never going to know.

97. Oh-I know, I lost my virginity in college to my first really serious boyfriend. It isn't like I didn't have opportunities in high school. I was just never that serious about any boy.

98. I have never had sex with another woman. Not even really thought about it. That is just not my cup of tea. Not that I care what anyone else does. As far as I am concerned what two or more consenting adults do with their sex life is none of my business unless it involves animals or children.

99. I currently live in an area were there seem to be more serial killers per capita than anywhere else. I suppose I should be scared, but not really. I think I am smart enough to not be taken in by someone like that.

100. Last, but certainly not least. I can bend the first joint of each finger the one closest to the tip without bending the middle or last joint. Try it; it is not as easy as it sounds.

And I hope you are happy that my fingers are worn to the bone.
