 Children's books or adult fiction... There are a million trillion science fiction novels that I can include but I'm going to try and stick with the classics, those that are unarguably dystopian as well as science fiction.

- The Secret of Nimh - My Tio Ramon used to play this for us whenever he was stuck with babysitting and it worked like gangbusters. We'd be enthralled, sitting happily through two or three viewings in a day.
- The Dark Crystal - Some of it scared me, but I was hooked.
- The Last Unicorn - A lot of the subject matter was a little too complex for me to follow as a child but what did it matter? It was a whole movie about a unicorn.
- The NeverEnding Story - I wanted to marry Atreyu. He was my first real childhood crush.
- Batteries Not Included - I wanted a tiny robot for my very own, almost more than I wanted a unicorn.
- Xanadu - Another babysitter, this time my cousin Jimmy, used this to distract us. The three of us parked on the couch, sing...

- I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes things fall apart so even better things can fall together. ~ Marilyn Monroe

- Clothes. It's unoriginal and financially draining. Dresses, sweaters, coats, costumes, gloves, socks - if I can stick in on my body, I want dozens of it.
- Dessert. It doesn't matter what the meal was, or how full I am, I always want something sweet after. This may be why I'm always ten pounds heavier than I'd like to be.
- Kisses. I love me some kissing. I'm pretty choosy when it comes to sex, but I'll make out with anyone(assuming, of course, that I'm free to) for hours.
- Dates. The event, not the fruit. I love the nervous tension, I love finding new places or showing off favorite haunts. I love trying on four different outfits and ending up in the one I always wear. I love the delicious meals and I love the kissing.
- Books. They're spilling out of the shelv...

- I cannot be touched by bare feet. At all. Ever. Not in bed, not at the beach. Feet covered with socks are tolerable, as long as the socks are freshly washed.
- I organize everything. I'd even organize my ex- boyfriend's things. He'd come home with a new movie or book or album, I'd hover nearby, breathlessly waiting for him to walk out of the room so I could file it away. Alphabetically and according to genre. I go a little nuts about my husband's record album collection. He has his own system for organizing and IT MAKES NO SENSE.
- I don't like to breathe used air. It has nothing to do with bad breath or crooked teeth. I just don't like breathing other people's used air. It only gets awkward at night when cuddling.
- I organize my closets according to type and then length of hem or sleeve.

- 1976 - The most important year of my life, being that in which I was born.
- 1981 - I met Michael M., whom I loved desperately and hopelessly all through Kindergarten. He was the first in a series of unrequited loves.
- 1982 - I fought with Cory A., my first day at a new school. I had no idea at the time that she was the queen bee of my tiny class. I was a social pariah for the next six years.
- 1994 - I graduated from high school and promptly realized that I was totally unprepared and/or unwilling to deal with being a grown up.
- 1996 - I moved out on my own, by which I mean I moved into a series of increasingly smaller apartments in increasingly scarier neighborhoods.
- 1998 - I dropped out of college for the fourth and final time, totally unprepared ...
