100 Things About Me (Items 1-25)

A friend of mine wrote a list of 100 Things About Her that I love and visit often. To you I give the first of four installments about me.

1. I love coffee in the afternoon but can't handle the caffeine.
2. I drink loads of diet caffeine free Pepsi even though my brother-in-law works for Coke.
3. I boycotted Coke in the early 90s when they supported apartheid in South Africa and haven't overcome my disgust.
4. I continue to boycott Domino's Pizza, though I have no idea whether they are still owned by the right-wing anti-choice wacko that was the founder.
5. I still miss smoking cigarettes, sweet little delicious friends.
6. I only miss a beer on a warm spring day.
7. I vote.
8. I love purple.
9. I am unforgiving of those that fail to forgive me.
10. I sport very little guilt.
11. I straighten better than I clean.
12. I "detroit" things.
13. I make up songs all of the time.
14. I read the newspaper…the actual (non-electronic) newspaper.
15. I read as much out of duty as out of enjoyment.
16. I knit poorly, but I knit.
    
17. I love a tub with a slanted back.
18. My favorite magazine is The Week.
19. I like to eat food that is not good for me.
    
20. I have no idea how women cook healthy meals for their families after a day at work.
21. I enjoy little people and wish I had the same level of curiosity as they have.
22. I like going to the movies but always pick poorly.
23. I'd seriously consider doing Prince, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Carl Levin, LL Cool J (because the ladies do love him), that Time columnist that shows up at Stephanopoulos' roundtable from time to time…his initials are F.Z. but I can't recall his name, Christopher Walken, and Daniel Dennett.
24. I pondered doing, but decided no on; Stephen Colbert, John Stewart, Keith Olbermann, George Stephanopoulos, Milan Kundera, and George Clooney.
25. I seriously can't stand the evil and shallow John Stossel. His voice grates on me something fierce and when he's on the television I can't refrain from mumbling obscenities under my breath. Prick. Pompous, righteous prick.
