My Interests

1. I was born in Burlington, Vermont—the Green Mountain State 2. Now I’m stuck in crappy Miami, FLA 3. I am an only child. 4. No, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything. 5. My parents got divorced after we moved. 6. My dad works for a giant ad agency, making up sentences he called “copy.” If you’ve ever read the back of a cereal box, it’s possible Dad wrote the crap about starting your day with a smile. 7. He keeps notebooks full of stupid phrases like “clusters of wholesome, hearty bran” 8. My mama couldn’t wait to ditch Vermont. She bought a Sun Box lamp to banish the winter blues. 9. I am a Capricorn. 10. I can fold my tongue in half and wiggle my ears 11. at the same time. 12. I count things obsessively—my footsteps, my breath, my heartbeats 13. For me, all numbers have colors. They stretch hot to cold like planets in the solar system. 14. I live in the ‘burbs…Kendall, the land of flat, manicured lawns and kiddy pools 15. When I lived in Vermont, I never met Champ, the Lake Champlain monster 16. I hate the aquarium-taste of the ocean and the way it stings my eyes. 17. I hardly ever go to the beach 18. except at night 19. I am currently first chair clarinet in my school Honors Band 20. My mama eats tuna from the can like a cat. 21. My dad used to cook all our meals. He taught me the definition of al dente pasta (“If it sticks to the wall, it’s done”). 22. Mama watches the Food Network and the Weather Channel all day…but she doesn’t cook or go anywhere. 23. I was on Paxil for a while 24. It made me more depressed 25. I used to wear my hair long, but it tangled too easily. 26. Now it’s ice-skater short 27. I’m allergic to jewelry. 28. I only wear pearl earrings coated in clear nail polish. (to keep my earlobes from puffing). 29. I love black jeans. 30. I wish I grew up in the 1980s. 31. My favorite movies are from that decade—Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller, Labyrinth, Goonies 32. I suffer from insomnia 33.When I can’t sleep, I channel-surf for hours 34.I also keep a Walkman under my pillow 35. I can’t afford an Ipod 36. I don’t really want one either. 37. I make mix tapes on cassette 38. I tried Saint John’s Wort and it did nothing for me. 39. I'm taking GNC daily vitamins for women. It has lots of weird stuff in it like bee pollen, whatever that's for. 40. Dad wanted to name me Noel since I was born on Christmas Eve. 41. That night, it snowed. 42. Like the snow, Dad says I was a surprise. 43. I know exactly what he means. 44. I like to eat Honey Nut Cheerios for dinner. 45. Sometimes I laugh when people get mad at me. 46. I really wanted to be a veterinarian 47. But I can’t stand to see animals in pain. 48. I am legally blind without my contacts. 49. I never wore braces. 50. But I still have one baby tooth that never fell out. 51. I believe in Chaos theory. 52. I kick ass at Galaga. 53. I am an Interpol fan 54. the band, not the international police 55. I have a major crush on Carlos D (but it’s not like I’m Goth or anything) 56. The subway is a porno. 57. You won’t find many parks in Miami. 58. Except the ones that charge admission. 59. I still climb trees 60. I will never grow up. …to be continued…

eavesdropping

Sitting in the parking lot at Starbucks across from U.M., I lean back in my plastic chair, inhale car exhaust, and sip my "coffee sundae." An endless stream of blue-jeaned student-types are in a real ...

inner loop

Thayer hops off the Metrorail at Government Station. I get on the inner loop. By the time I realize that he's left without me, I'm rolling down the tracks. He's got major ADD and he never eats his Rit...

mugshot

"Who put you in jail?" a woman at the fair asks the so-called "demo," a little blonde boy who "looks like an angel." The jail is my family's contribution to the church fair. The structure itself looks...
