I have been working on a list of "100 Things about Me…" and so far I've only gotten to twenty:

1. I believe I was a pastry in my previous life.
2. Although generally I’m a pacifist, I play Halo2 on the weekend with my S.O. and his dad.
3. I believe that the food pyramid should be built around peanut butter, coffee, garlic, donuts and cheese.
4. If I was reincarnated as a rock, I'd be okay as long as I had a view of the sky..
5. My favorite alcoholic beverages all seem to start with M…margarita, martini, mojito, modela (negra, that is).
6. My daughter is the greatest gift I’ve ever received.
7. I listen a lot and ask people questions to avoid talking about myself.
8. I’ll have a dark roast coffee with vanilla soymilk, splenda, and a little nutmeg, thank you very much.
9. Being a Buddhist in the Bible Belt is much harder to do than it is to say.
10. I've been married for ten years—known him for at least fourteen. I’m only now beginning to reveal my true self to him. I guess there’s just no truth in advertising.
11. Fart jokes have never gotten old to me.
12. I have a really hard time trusting people.
13. I wait for magical things to happen, and then when they do, I wonder "was that really magical, or was it my imagination?"
14. As a teenager, I once pulled the pillows-under-the-cover, sneak-out-of-the-window-to-get-out-of-the-house trick. I think my dad knew, even though I'd found a curly wig to put on my pillow...
15. A long time ago, I did inhale. Sometimes I fantasize about doing it again.
16. There is a room inside my brain devoted to the eighties. Word up.
17. I think it’s only, and always, a matter of time.
18. I am a mother and a masochist--I secretly hope to get pregnant with twins.
19. I believe that beauty is found in most ordinary moments.
20. I asked my daughter what she would tell someone about me. She didn’t quite get it, so I said, what would you tell your teacher about me? She said “My mommy can’t pick me up today because she had to go to work and my daddy is going to pick me up today. The End.” I wasn't as depressed as I thought I'd be. At least she's honest.
