1) I hate hate flame wars/misunderstandings, etc. I haven't opened any of the posts that I can tell are going to be about it. This is supposed to be a party!

2) I made a three musketeers (Disney version) cloak that I look for any excuse to wear, especially rollerskating because it flaps behind me in a most satisfying way.

3) I'm still knee deep in boxes after having moved into the private (as opposed to shared) room in my apartment in April.

4) I say "Deck Four" or "Deck One" in the elevator when no one else is present.

5) I despise lipstick. I am addicted to chapstick and go through about one every two weeks. I am the only person I know who actually uses them up regularly rather than losing them. I have a stock of about two dozen right here in the drawer of my desk.

6) I have a lovely half-circle black cloak that I made from a sheet that I put on when I work on my oldest fantasy tale involving a black-cloaked wizard-type character.

7) I talk to my plants in Spanish.

8) Sometimes when I am working waaaay late in the lab I blast the radio and dance in lab coat and goggles while shaking separatory funnels. (If somebody wants to get on America's funniest home video, come on down.)

9) If I stand at the edge of a cliff or the top of a stadium or someplace else up high I am siezed by a desire to jump off and fly around in all that lovely space - and it's sometimes only the other part of my brain vividly imagining how much it would hurt to fall that I don't. It doesn't help at all that I can pretty much always fly in my dreams.

10) When I go to the beach I direct waves with pieces of driftwood as if I were an orchestra conductor.

11) Whenever I wear my black HL baseball jacket I imagine that I'm AP. (He wore one at the Con. He looked great in it - although Adrian would look good in a potatoe sack.)

12) I had a picture of Spock on my wall that I talked to as a teenager.

13) I still sleep with my pink baby blanket. Con roommates can attest.

OK, has anyone put in a call to the men in white coats? Never fear, I shall call on the other members of our mutual defense pact.

(They're coming to take me away, ha ha, he he, ho ho.)
