      People are idiots. And more than likely, I will never see them again. However, I think it's my job to remind people to act like decent human beings and more than not, they don't.

      Bug is doing swell. He thinks the cast 'is cool'. He's learned to stick a paintbrush up his cast and stop the itching. I'm betting it'll be a day or two before he loses one completely up the cast. So, Bug is rockin' like Dokken.

      A friend (coughDarkDamiancough) once told me I should be wrapped in bubble wrap all the time. He's probably right.

      When I was three, I was running on our ranch (many miles from the nearest town, population under 100), fell down, and slammed my face into a cinder block. I broke my nose. But, we were 'too far' from the hospital (about 45 mins with the old speed limit) and they figured it'd heal on its own. Oh, it healed - hence the bump I have that I hate.

      But I've never busted any arms or legs (knock on wood). I've had a lot of split head injuries and what not, though. HOT.

      My uncle decided sometime in the 90s' to move to Australia, buy a ranch, and stayed there for quite some time. My cousin (his son) followed him there and worked for many years outside of Sydney. I've heard nothing but rave reviews, so yes ... I very much want to visit!!

      Surviving the years '94-'97 relatively unscathed. There was a hefty dose of some serious traumatic shit that went on, and I didn't end up in the fetal position, sucking my thumb while in a rubber room. And, I suspect, I'm proud that I've carried those lessons forward, maintained a sense of humor, and have become a better person because of all of those things.

      I have had a really hard time answering this question. I have a few big bookcases full of book. Some women buy shoes - I buy books. I can't see myself buying a Kindle because I really love - LOVE - the smell of books.

      So, a favorite? I can't pick just one.

      But - I have always loved The Collected Poetry of Dorothy Parker. And I love the book about Gilda Radner called Bunny, Bunny. I have recently read (and loved) Downtown Owl, Gilead, and am currently reading The Given Day - which is shaping up to be one of my favorites of all time.

      It's like picking my favorite kid. Impossible.

      No .... and after reading Dark Damian's answer, I think I need to live a little more.

      My plan: Go to Mardi Gras despite being 'old' and find a way to be questioned by the authorities (or authority). Two birds, one stone - bitches.

      I got kicked out of school for a day or so because I laughed when a classmate called another classmate "cheese dick".

      Otherwise, no. I've been a pretty good girl. Mostly.

      A nice, modestly priced dinner (my new favorite is Colt & Gray - because oooooh lawd, those cocktails are AMAZING), and then a trip to Tattered Cover to shop for books.

      I suppose it's flattering, but I don't think much of it - I presume the other person has hit their head or dropped as a child.

      I don't feel like I function at ALL! But, thank you. I would like to thank my sponsors: coffee, coffee, and the delusion that I will sleep again the coming night. :)

      Yesterday, I took my son to get his super fine blonde hair cut. But he was unusually clingy, so I leaned in while the stylist was cutting. I put the sweatshirt back on this morning and my boobs were itchy as all get out. So ... hair? Hair made my boobs itch.

      Man, I don't know. It's just something I've never gotten into. I have a distinct memory of ONCE trying to play Nintendo, and either I was bored, frustrated, something. I'd rather read a book than play. (But have no doubt - I will sit on the couch and heckle you while YOU mess up).

      I don't really follow anyone else, but I will root for the underdog. Unless the underdog is the Raiders, the Chiefs, the Chargers, or whomever Farve is playing for (ducking).
