My interests aren't so interesting. I sing in the shower. I read People Magazine. I knit and I play soccer. I love the station on XM that plays only French jazz from the 1920's. I like Thursday nights. I love to go shopping with my sponser. I like to read, I like to do stepwork... sometimes. I love to talk to the four most wonderful people... they live in DC, and don't really know each other, but I love them. I like racing my husband in Sudoku. I like logic puzzles. I like black men named Trey with dogs named Churchhill. I like the pool. I like singing at the top of my lungs without talent. I like riding my beach cruiser at midnight down Grove Avenue with my husband. I love lunches at Westwood Pharmacy. I love Tuesday night TV, and Herman Hesse books. I love my fireplace and my cats, but not when you put the two together. I love getting on www.craigslist.com and looking at apartments in Prague, Barcelona, and Paris, and I love fantasizing about what life would be like if we won the lottery. Oh, and I love Christmas in DC.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian woman named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
Tuesday night TV is probably one of the most amazing things ever. The Office, both verions because I am not a pretentious American snob who says "uhhh the British one is sooo much better", I mean funny is funny. I also watch Sex and the City, Seinfeld, Da Ali G Show, Ren and Stimpy, Law and Order SVU, A Different World, Days of our Lives, anything on Discovery Health, and Bob Ross, of course.
The Big One, which I don't read as much as I should, War and Peace, Wicked, In Cold Blood, anything bu Hemmingway so that I may laugh for hours, Kite Runner just may have changed my life, The Time Travelers Wife, hmmmmmmm, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest reminds me of my desperate desire of a grand Exodus from this ole hometown, Siddhartha, Night (Ellie Weisel), Sophie's World, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Catcher in the Rye... The Sound and the Fury, Running with Scissors, Dry, The Undomestic Goddess and of course, any and every book in the Babysitter's Club series... throw in some Sweet Valley High's too!
