My First Assignment

100 Things:

1. I love red, but I own conspicuously few red items of clothing.
2. I have no use for navy blue.
3. I love really big or really small versions of things, like human-sized chess figures or the piano at FAO Schwartz.
4. I want to play Sonia in Uncle Vanya.
5. I made two beautiful humans!
6. I like to travel, but I do not believe that the journey is the destination. I hate being in an airplane, I think airports smell like cat breath, and I get twitchy after too many hours in a car.
7. I can cook. From scratch.
8. I can knit.
9. I cannot ski. Well, I have tried it, several times, but it wasn't pretty.
   
10. The last red meat I ate was tripe. Tripe was not the reason I stopped eating red meat. You can’t say I’m not adventuresome.
11. I have a mysterious ability to turn off streetlamps.
12. I love Shakespeare.
13. I’ve been with my husband since I was eighteen. We got married when I was twenty-five.
    
14. I don’t mind being cold, but I can’t stand being wet and cold.
15. I have a stage acting degree.
16. I have a massage therapy diploma.
17. I have never traveled overseas (too poor).
18. I stood and wept before a Picasso.
19. I think I have ugly feet.
20. I need white noise to sleep well.
21. I streaked once. In a theatre. In good company.
22. I’m a tree-hugger.
23. I’ve been typing most of this one-handed with a six-month-old on my breast.
24. I’m kind of a compulsive hand-washer.
25. I’ve been told that #24 should be the opening line if I ever write a one-woman play.
26. I love historical fiction.
27. I want a bit part in a vampire flick so I can wear crazy contact lenses.
28. I want to live near the ocean, preferably in a yurt.
29. I cry when I’m frustrated. This does me no good when I’m frustrated and trying to be intimidating.
30. I have hair vanity.
31. With only one deviation, I have been Compacting since the beginning of 2008.
32. I love swimming laps. I hate chlorine, though.
33. I’m an Artist’s Way dropout. My favourite exercise during the part I did complete was listing five alternate lives/careers. Mine were: ninja, skipper, jazz club singer…I can’t remember the other two.
34. I almost drowned twice.
35. I wear my heart on my sleeve. Sometimes this seems like one of my best qualities, sometimes one of my worst.
36. “Served with a side of ranch dressing” used to be a real selling feature for me.

And that's as far as I got. In true Tigger fashion, I went at this assignment with great gusto and quit when it wasn't interesting enough any more. Maybe I'll finish someday. No promises, though.
