Tell us two truths and a lie about yourself.
My left foot is 11.25 inches long.
I am nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other.
I had five wisdom teeth extracted when I was in high school.
Show us something covered in stickers.
I make a new one at Kinko's every year and cover the front with stickers. I gotta do something with all the stickers I accumulate.
The prefab training journals just aren't quite perfect for me. I'm geeky that way.
If you could pick a cartoon world to live in, which would it be? Why?
Submitted by Scio, Scio.
The world of Edward Gorey, of course. Because I like a place with huge urns and dead vines and creeping shadows and children who die of ennui.
What is your favorite greasy spoon?
Submitted by S@ngarang.
Jack's. In Skokie or maybe Lincolnwood, Ill. Jack's was (is?) the unbearably smoky 24-hour diner where we hung out in college. You needed a car or a friend with a car to get there, so it had a certain mystique. And their bread basket had the best damn bialy sticks west of New York. The waitresses wore those pink checked diner-waitress uniforms. And they knew us, and they'd sit down to chat when they took our orders. It's amazing I ever wondered how I gained so much weight in college.
Ever run for office? (School, club, organization, politics, etc.) Did you get elected?
In high school I was elected sophomore class president. That was about 16 years ago! I just saw my vice-president a couple of weekends ago. But in general, my mom and my sister are the politicians in the family. They have both won and lost their fair share of elections.
Show us some footprints.
