Information Overload

Okay fine, I cave. Some of my favorite bloggers have been giving their lists of hundred useless facts about themselves, it's my turn now. I know most of this will probably be TMI (too much information in non-acronym speak) but it cured the late-Saturday afternoon downtime. So without further adieu...

1. I have a hard time deciding how to start any of the things I write. The first is so important because it hooks the reader!

41. I’m a chronic nail biter/peeler.
42. The hearing in my left ear is bad, so I usually sit with my right ear cocked forward.
