82. None of the products in my bathroom were tested on animals. So I’ve decided to extend my contest a bit to give people more time to enter.  PLUS: I’m going to be traveling in a third-world country soon, and…

81. I’m a really, really bad vegetarian: I basically hate vegetables. If boca burgers didn’t exst, I think I’d’ve died by now. On the realm of loving to think, this occurred to me a few weeks ago when I was…

79. I’ve needed glasses since I was in fifth grade, but I didn’t get them for eight months because my mom couldn’t believe that her darling son didn’t have perfect vision. How F’ed up is that? I start a lot…

77. My parents immigrated to the United States in 1987. As a direct result, I sort of want to thwack people whenever they talk about immigration (illegal or otherwise). Frankly, there are very few people I consider qualified to talk…

76.  I’ve kept a digital diary since Sunday, November 19, 2000.  Nobody will ever read it, but it’s really whiny and tells a lot of secrets that I’ll take to my grave.  I’d delete it, but it sort of reminds…

75. I went into college as a Journalism major and graduated as a journalism major, but I never had any illusions of desiring to be a journalist. 🙂 I actually hate it when people attack ‘the media.’ I’ve probably stated…

74. I sometimes wonder what constitutes a ‘kiss’ or a ‘first time’ or ‘taboo in most cultures.’  I wonder about this for reasons that I’ll take to my grave… unless you read this and choose to e-mail me. There are…

73. My home town is not incorporated, but some estimates put us between 10,000 and 25,000 people. I also live about ten minutes from El Paso, Texas and a half an hour from the Mexican border. So I’ve grown up…

72.  Every male member of my extended family (on both sides) can grow awesome facial hair.  My brother and I, however, cannot.  It’s embarrassingly frustrating. I feel like a Sonnet-writer that has never been in love.  Or a rock and…

70. I tricked my parents into getting me a cell phone senior year by pretending to not want one while giving them reasons I should have one. Then, the day after I got it, I accidentally left it inside an…

69. I sometimes start projects knowing I’ll never finish them.  But I’ve haven’t fallen through on a promise since the last millennium. Here you go!  It’s a comic we’re working on that’s based on a column we once worked on…

68. Whenever I hear that people voted for Bush in 2004, I sort of lose a little bit of respect for them. Wasn’t there enough information out by then for everyone to have made an informed decision? *sigh* So I…

67. I drive a white 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. My parents got it for me after high school so that I would stay in New Mexico. It claims to get 47 miles to the gallon, but it really only gets…

66. Even though I usually get in the 99th percentile in standardized tests (both academic and IQ), I don’t believe in standardized tests. At all. They don’t measure anything except for how well the participant can study for them. Believe…

65. After my brother joined the military, my mother began forcing my father and I to go to church as part of a ‘family activity.’ They bribed, lied, and cheated to get me to go. So I went, reluctantly. It’s…

63. For years my favorite number was 35. That just seems silly to me now, because it’s 100011 in binary. Dear World, I’ve decided to start treating you all as a single person, much like Anne Frank did to “Kitty.”…

62. Every time I go somewhere, I have to carry books, a laptop, a notebook, or anything else. I have to. It’s my way to never forget stuff: I just make sure there’s always something to remember. This is supposed…
