Interesting Factoids	When I was a sophomore in high school, my English teacher would give us vocabulary words from whatever book we were reading and have us use those words in sentences to show that we understood them. Then he would call on various people to share what they wrote. I discovered that I had a knack for writing morbid and oftertimes disgusting things and so had to use every word I got in a sentence that would make my class cringe. I loved to get the reactions from people, but because the class was right before lunch, my teacher stopped calling on me. I guess he wasn't as entertained by the groans of my fellow students as much as I was. On a similar note, my favorite word is "decapitate"...I swear that I heard it and liked the way it sounded before I knew what it meant!
	I tend to be a bit wordy.
	My favorite TV shows: The X-Files (I was a fan before the show even started!), ER, Medical Detectives and The Operation on TLC, The New Detectives on Discovery, and Autopsy on HBO (they're specials...check your local listings)
	My favorite place to get away for the weekend is my grandparents' small, rustic cabin on Mason Lake near Bel-Fair, WA.
	When I die, I want to go in an interesting way. I'd like to implode, but I know that's not possible. I would also like to be mummified with a big smile on my face and placed beneath a weeping willow tree in a cemetary in Oregon that overlooks the Pacific. If that's not possible, I have told friends and family that they can just dismember me and flush me down the toilet...I just need a headstone with an epitaph that reads: "She laughed herself off the merry-go-round."
	Because every action has an equal and opposite reaction, I am a hopeless romantic. (Hey, I need something to offset my strange fascination with death!) I love waterfalls, roses, sunsets...the whole works!
	I already have my whole wedding planned...I just need the groom...hey Val, I know you're a little older than me, but do you want to get married?
	I have had two psychic dreams about Val Kilmer. (Don't worry, they were strictly G!)
	Almost all of my stories come in some way from dreams that I have had.
	I used to make tent "houses" complete with separate rooms and furniture in my basement with my brothers.
	I have a Pez fetish.
	My favorite color is purple, but I also like blue, green, and silver.
	I don't (nor have I ever) drink, smoke, or do drugs. I believe that breathing is highly underrated as is the proper functioning of all other internal organs.
	My pet peeve is people who can't drive!!!
	My dream house: a weird combination of Victorian, medieval/gothic, and animal print (which I lovingly call "pimp") with touches of Greek and anthropological stuff (particularly SW American Indian). I have to have a theater and a huge pool, but I also want: a room with a trampoline floor and padded/Velcro walls, a "ball" room (you know, with those red, yellow, and blue balls...like at McDonald's!), and a pinwheel garden.
	I talk to my clothes (Ha ha Brooke! That's my revenge!) "Come back here!"
	My motto is: Like lemons. (and if you can figure out the meaning of than, I just might be forced to give you a prize!) I know, I know! What do I win?! :)
	Val is the exception.
Bad Habits	procrastination, writing stories when I should be taking notes, singing and dancing in the car
Boxers or Briefs	um... we should probably take this one off the chart
