23. About two days after the Columbine Massacre, I came to school wearing a trench coat. My psychology teacher got a kick out of it and took me to the principal’s office to ‘turn me in.’ Everyone laughed. Then, a…

22. My brother’s birthday is today. He turns 26. I wish I’d started my 100 things about me four days earlier so that it would be coincidental. I once calculated that he was born 3 years, 2 months, 11 days,…

21. I have a birthmark on my leg that’s more of a Rorcharch test than anything. I see the ghost of Mickey Mouse. What do you see? In civilized conversation, there is no more selfish phrase in the English language…

20. I’m a boy! So today I received a letter detailing my award package for my first year at Duke. Apparently, it’s a $64,281 value. 1 I was on the phone with my friend Frank, discussing what to do with…

19. I have superior powers of reasoning, oratory, mathematics, and most everything else. But don’t worry: I only use my powers for good, evil, and to show off. Like most people, I have a list of historical figures I plan…

17. When I was in high school, I would relentlessly tease a kid I couldn’t stand by giving him nicknames. I also teased people I really, really liked by giving them nicknames. The fact that I treated people I hated…

16. My parents got me a leather jacket for my 17th birthday.  I became a vegetarian at age 18.  I still wear that jacket.  And no, it’s not hypocritical, damn it. Dear World, So, it turns out that one of…

15. I am a vegetarian. The last time I purposefully ate meat was Good Friday, 2004. I thought it was funny at the time. I don’t feel like writing a post today, you do it. Let me know how it…

14. I admit it, damn it. I voted for Nader. And you know what: I’d do it again. You know why? Because I vote as an exercise in absurdity, not to elect any particular person. Even though I’ve only been…

13. I once lost a job because of something I wrote on my blog.  Specifically, I called someone’s mustache ‘mysterious’ in a way that would imply derision.  If I could go back, I’d do it all over again, but have…

12. I’ve wanted to go away to college since sixth grade. Partly for that reason, I’ve gone on exchange twice and moved on a whim a few more times. I like to consider myself a nomad (but with better hair).…

11. I can count the number of people I’ve kissed on one hand. Then again, I know sign language, so I can count to 999 on one hand. 🙂 So it may be more than 5, but it’s still a…

10. When I was ten, I thought about Superman and the movie Contact and wondered whether it was selfish for humans to assume that we were created in God’s image. It was a slippery slope from there. This just hilarious.1…

9. I trained my clapping for two years. Now I can do what I call the ‘Sonic Clap,’ which deafens all children and puppies in the area… and not clap in any other way.. I have compiled a list of…

8.  I never learned my multiplication tables.  I missed out on the grade that taught them: fourth grade.  *sigh*  I wonder what else I missed by skipping fourth grade. “Hey, lady, how do I know your child isn’t an ADULT…
