Because lists are sometimes more fun then lengthy treatises....
The Wonderfully Ubiquitous 100 (er, 53) Things!
100. I was born in Washington, D.C. and still live in the area.
99. You don't usually meet people like that.
98. I went to college in Minnesota, but moved back here a year after I graduated.
97. That was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.
96. I hate Rice Krispie treats, but love making them.
95. I watch more television than I probably should.
94. Some of it is educational and brain embiggening.
93. Some of it makes me brain cells shrivel.
92. I also read a lot, so I don't feel too guilty about the T.V. thing
91. But I still sometimes do.

89. But I hate wasabi.
88. I once ate a huge gob of it.
87. My boyfriend had dared me.

82. My mom is Italian, Irish, and English.
81. People usully think I'm Latina.
80. I love Dar Williams's music _so_ much.
79. She was one of the first musicians I ever felt
really passionately about.
78. A friend from college introduced me to her music; we used to crank it up really loudly (as much as you can crank folk music) and jump back and forth from her twin bed to her roommate's, singing all the words at the top of our lungs.
77. I went to a Montessori school as a child, and then switched to Catholic school.

74. I love rainy days.
73. Too many sunny days in a row actually put me in a bad mood.
72. I love snowy days even more.
71. I was raised by a single mom; I think she did about as well as she could with me. :)

58. I spent a lot of my time in discotheques with said boyfriend.
57. The woman I lived with had a super cute 3 year old granddaughter named Julia (GYOO-lia) who didn't understand that I didn't speak Italian very well. She just thought I was really dumb.
