1. I’m a stacker. My desk looks like the Himalayas, but I can find anything on it within ten seconds.
2. I hate to fold laundry, but I don’t mind ironing.
3. I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue.
4. I used to be an Open-class (aka professional) Scottish Highland dancer.
5. I never grew out of my Misty of Chincoteague phase. If I ever hit the lottery or the NYT list, I’m buying a horse.
6. I’m a member of Mensa.
7. I chew fairly. One bite on the right side, then a bite on the left. I can take the Libra tendency for balance a bit too far. To wit: I separate M&Ms (or Reese’s Pieces, Skittles, etc.) by color and eat them in pairs.
8. I can’t stand holiday displays in stores that have been installed way too early, like Halloween stuff in July or Christmas in September. I have been known to embarrass the family and half the staff of the store in question by voicing my displeasure at the top of my lungs.
9. I love fountain pens and have seven of them currently in use, each inked with a different color (smoke grey, royal blue, turquoise, green, orange, hot pink, and purple).
10. I quote movies. Lots of movies. Need some comic relief for your cocktail party? I’m your gal. I can probably do Monty Python and the Holy Grail from start to finish, along with Raising Arizona, The Princess Bride, etc., etc…
