I’ve never seen a Star Wars, Godfather, Matrix, Indiana Jones, or Alien movie and I am a-okay with that
I’d rather eat a corndog than a steak
The second thing I do in the morning is write down the song that I woke up singing
When I started doing this sort of list, there were only 29 things. I totally stole the idea from Paul Westerberg, kind of. It’s an homage to “14 songs” in some weird way.
My truck is named Ruby, my iPod is called Eurydice, and my computers have been named Owen, Otto, Oberon, Ogden and Jed (though only Ogden and Jed are operational)
I live by myself with two cats (Paco and Madison) at Supergenius HQ in lovely Shakopee, Minnesota
I know three movies by heart “Almost Famous,” “High Fidelity,” and “Beautiful Girls”
My niece and nephews (Jaycie, Max, Cade, Nolan, and Liam) fill me up with so much joy I think I might bust
James Madison is my favorite dead president. I named my cat after him
I am always late. Always. I blame this on my eternal optimism.
I like Superman
I don’t wear makeup because it makes me feel like a phony. I do, however, color my hair so I’m either a paradox or a hypocrite
To pay the mortgage, I am a copywriter. It is as sexy as it sounds
I have three younger sisters
I don’t like the number five, though it appears in this list because I can’t figure out how to make it disappear and thanks to the genius of my friend the Uncouth Heathen it has been struck from this list
At 6′5″ I’m unusually tall for a woman
If I had a nickname it would be the nicknamer. However, I call myself Supergenius
I am pretty sure I own more bras than the average American woman really needs
I usually brush my teeth without a shirt on for fear of drooling on it
I worry about being a bad mom because I often forget to turn off the oven
I have a giant collection of Sweet Valley High books in my closet. I am not ashamed of this.
I collect wheat pennies, and blame it all on Francis
If “my first short story was published when I was 323334 35″ isn’t on this list next year, I might cry.
For many years I didn’t use the Shift key when I posted on iwilldare.com, now it makes me cringe and I want to go back and kick my own ass
When I was about 4 I shoved a button so far up my nose I had to go to ER
I have yet to shed a single tear about my lack of short story publication
Even Here We Are
