49. I cannot stand to have dirty hair.
50. I would conduct all my daily affairs from the bathtub if I could.
51. I love lists. They are orderly. They begin and they end so tidily.
52. I am a Dragon and a Pisces. (Impetus: who knows how many places)
53. I do better with a small group of really good friends than I do with lots and lots of acquaintances. Most of those really good friends are women. Not all, but most. [The “friends with women” part is a development of my 20s — before then, I had almost exclusively male friends. It’s still easier for me to be close to men than to women, though.]
54. I’m insatiably curious about just about everything. This is part of what makes teaching Sci/Tech Comm on an agricultural campus so much fun — I get to read and hear about all the stuff I’ll never get a chance to study.
55. When I was little, I had a Snoopy but slept with a Belle. She had several outfits that I saved my allowance for and bought from the Peanuts store, and my mom made her a blanket of her very own. She went everywhere with me for quite awhile. I’m pretty sure she’s currently in a closet at my parents’ house. (impetus: #57)
56: I have the inky wretch’s typical obsessive love of office supplies.
57. I can articulate my big and little toes separately from the rest of my toes. (Source forgotten.) My Dad can too.
58. When I’m writing, my hair absolutely has to be pulled away from my face.
59. I’m a wanderer, in a lot of senses. Someone once told me they check the blog before we meet up so they can see where my mind has been.
