Cloudscome, that’s a very reasonable question, and I have no idea what to tell you. Apparently we all had a deep, deep need to tell these things about ourselves. It’s a club of TMI-ers, and I love it. Please join us.

Wow how did you get all these people to tell all their secrets? Is this a club?

BJ, love the list! Don’t know what to say about items #2 or 3. Both would lead to massive chocolate addiction, in my professional opinion. I’m glad to hear #5.

Okay, so I’m late to the schmaltzfest.

1. One of the ways I worked my way through college was to be a magician’s assistant, where we did the School Assembly circuit (TOUGH audience!!!) I quit way too soon though, since I’m not rich and famous and Teller now is.

2. The very first time a boy kissed me I got a bloody nose. Remember that, Lali Muniz???

3. My very first steady boyfriend later turned into a She, which I didn’t know ’til 20 years later. Funny how I never could find another guy who enjoyed shopping for clothes like (s)he did, and couldn’t figure out why . . .

4. I have three unfinished novels sitting in a box somewhere. They’re all awful. A writer I’m not. At least not a fiction writer.

5. I finally figured out around the age of 49 what I wanna be when I grow up. I’m doing it now, though I’m still working on the growing up part.

Deborah - I too have only had a sip of coffee in my whole life. I love saying to coffee-aholics, “I’ve never had a cup of coffee in my life”, and watching their expressions….priceless!

Jules, nice of you to say so, since I see that as some pretty sad, lonely behavior for the sad, lonely girl I was in college. I feel such affection and sympathy for her. But I can’t say I fully understand her.

Deborah, you could have sent me fifteen more and I would have printed them all.

OOps! Looking back I now realize I was supposed to only list 5. I got carried away in the cathartic nature of the task-you can just ignore any 2 you want.

Oh, I flippin’ love that you bought yourself a t.v. and left it as a gift for yourself. You rock.

Deborah, I cannot believe you were even thinking of holding out on us. And all the way to seven items! You’re hired!

OK, I’ll do it, but then Annette has to also. I have to be careful so as to not jeopardize my protected secret identity, but here are a few tidbits:

1. In college, on a dare, I ate 7 eggrolls at a Chinese buffet. The manager then asked us to leave.

2. I have all my childhood Barbies and baby dolls in a box in my garage.

3. When I was 5 I was first runner up in a beauty pageant. I sang a song about ducks and wore a dress with ducks on it.

4. I’ve been a chronic insomniac since an infant.

5. I have had only 1 sip of coffee my entire life and haven’t had caffeine in 14 years.

6. My dogs have Holiday placemats for each of the Holidays.

7. I have a large collection of miniature statutes of Dachshunds.
