35. I’ve been to 33 states in the U.S., 10 in Mexico, and 1 in Australia. I still haven’t visited Canada, but that’ll have to wait until Moof asks me. It occurred to me today that I always mention Trumpet…

34.  I did not get drunk until I was 20.  And to this day, I’ve probably only gotten tipsy a dozen times or so. Wow, aside from getting into two good grad schools, I was also accepted at a conference. …

33.  I pretend to be a guy who pretends to be all sorts of things that I really am.  It’s like being a guy who dresses up as a woman dressing up as a man.  For instance, I bombastically claim…

32. Sometimes, when I’m bored in the shower, I shave my legs. I think it’s a bit hypocritical to demand women do it, but not be willing to do it myself. Besides, body hair disgusts me. Huh, sorry about that.…

31. I refused to keep a resume until I graduated from college.  I sort of regret that now.  I look much, much worse on paper than I do in real life. I’m not sure why people always think about attractiveness…

29.  I was single from January 1, 2002 until November 12, 2005.  That’s 46.35 months.  After that, I realized that I don’t know if I can trust anyone who doesn’t know what it’s like to be alone.  I think being…

28. I’m so bad at e-mail, it’s ridiculous. Today I e-mailed my friend Steve in response to an e-mail he sent exactly ONE YEAR AGO. I swear I’ll get better at it someday, but I’m too much of a perfectionist…

27. I have scars on each wrist that look like I tried to kill myself with an ice pick. The true story, sadly, is far more lame. (Apparently this happens to me quite often. Check out these posts: 1, 2,…

26. I once tried to go a whole day in which everything I said was a lie. It was surprisingly difficult. Apparently there’s some things we say in day to day life that aren’t easily categorized as true or false.…

25. I think about going back to Australia every day. Every Day. And if I have to borrow the $2k to do it, I’ll do it. And this year. Hm. My circle of friends is so dynamic, it scares me.…

24. I’ve been doing a lot of research into incest recently, because it’s strange to me how ingrained our aversion to incest is, and how we always attempt to justify it by saying it’s just ‘icky’ or wrong. I’m also…
