- watch curb your enthusiasm for three hours (even when i'm in a horrible mood, larry david always brings me back to at least a neutral state of mind. what is that crazy jew going to get himself into next?)
- shower (i don't really shower for hygienic purposes, just stress relief. i take really long showers, and i don't even do anything weird. a lot of the time i just stand there.)
- cook for other people (especially friends who don't usually cook for themselves and definitely wouldn't have made a pie if you hadn't been there.)
- drive (unfortunately, driving has become so expensive that maybe i should put it into my list of bad habits.)

- "walk two moons" by sharon creech (i went to word school and read many books, but this remained better than those.)

- starbucks (coffee is the working class drink. it's not a gourmet food item and should never cost more than a dollar.)
- musical theater (i like a very select few musicals and they are: a chorus line, cabaret, and west side story. other than that, musical theater and its people can suck it.)
- sexism amongst friends
- sexism in the media (it seems that in every movie where there's a guy doing something heroic, the leading lady is a wife, saying shit like, "don't do this! think of the children!")
- most -isms

- heroin
- parents who take their young children to movies that will inevitably freak the kid out.

- corn pudding (i found a recipe on the food network website that was originally aired on emeril's show. i'm usually not a big fan of emeril, but i adapted the recipe a bit because i'm a vegetarian and it called for bacon, and now i make it every thanksgiving. it takes a long time, but it's super-delicious.)
- gumbo (another recipe that takes all day. i kind of like that...it's better than sitting on my ass for three hours watching horror movies that aren't scary.)
- birthday cakes of every variety (i like celebrations.)
- quiche (pretty much the easiest thing ever, and you can invent new combinations of ingredients and feel like an inventor.)

- it had been suggested that i rub my leg with ice, to bring up the scars, before i hiked my skit three years later for the court. but there was no ice in the judge's chambers, so i did not get a chance to pass or fail that moral test. (from "the harvest")

- the notebook --i have no idea why i fucking like this movie; it's embarrassing. every time it comes on tv i get so excited. i've probably seen it close to 100 times, and i still like it. goddammit.
- mean girls --for every possible situation in life, there is a dumb quote from this movie.
- the turning point --nobody will watch this with me, ever. i've learned not to tell anybody what it's about and just put it in.
- moonstruck --cher actually looks like a normal person and ends up in a fine relationship. plus olympia dukakis rules.
- romeo + juliet --i watched this with a ~young person~ recently, and i guess the teens nowadays just really don't get weird shit. they like it more straightforward, like high school musical.

- have an abortion (i'm by no means a pro-lifer, and any woman who is has serious problems imo. the thing is that i don't trust my own choices sometimes.)
- be homeless (not couch-hopping with friends, but like, living in a box or on the steps of a church or something.)
- heroin (of all the things i decided in middle school never to do, i've done most. but opiates are a bad scene, and i don't wanna be a loser.)
- kill someone (i had to kill a mouse that was stuck in a glue trap when i was home sick one day in high school. a bird flew into my windshield when i was driving down 95. i would rather kill myself than kill another living thing. even a chicken.)

- when she was little, her dad made her a tape to fall asleep to. it was "trois gymnopedies" by eric satie looped over and over. when he was making the recording, he got distracted and let the song change, so there were a few seconds of really loud rock 'n roll after one of the repeats. then it went back to "trois gymnopedies."
- she was born in august.
- i have a picture of her mother, very pregnant with her, attending my first birthday party.
