Chatting with my husband, who is on the other end of the state tonight, and I got him to do this. He said....

1. I am adopted and I don’t know anything about my biological father.

2. I use a nail gun to spell out all three of my children’s initials someplace hidden in every old house I restore.

3. In 2nd grade I went to a children’s symphony concert and a man dressed as Chopin talked to us and until I got rudely corrected in middle school music class I thought I’d met the real Chopin.

4. The night I met my wife I was annoyed with the girl I was out with that night and almost walked out of the party and if I had I never would have met the woman I married, so I tried to get her to be our maid of honor but she if she did that she’d have to get divorced.

5. Unlike my OCD wife I couldn’t care less about the question of the existence of God.

6. I’ve never run out of gas. Unlike my wife.

7. I’ve never been under anesthetic. Again unlike my wife.

8. I bought my first house at 21.

9. I used to invite a kleptomaniac to my parties.

10. I making hate lists and doing surveys. Also unlike my wife.

1.  I have never watched Titanic.

2.  I collect (well, used to) gothic romance novels printed in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Fell in love with the covers.

3.  I have been basically living and breathing and eating horror/SF/weird movies since I was around 4 or 5.

4.  I turn 54 this year.

5.  The only time I have ever been moved to tears by glorious music was listening to Cecilia Bartoli.

6.  I, too, have seen what I believe to be ghosts/spirits/shades.

7.  My family, on my mother's side, has a long history of supernatural incidents.

8.  I love doing basic video/photo editing, and think I have missed a calling when it comes to working more heavily in that area.

9.  I build grand castles in the sky, and, before I can put a flag on the highest point, I've torn the whole thing down because of fear and questioning myself.

10. I have an intense dislike of social media and do my best to avoid those obsessed with it.

Part II.

1. When I was four my imaginary playmate was my grandson, an adult who told me I should write things down, and whom I still claim taught me how to read. He seemed as real as anyone else I've ever met in my life.



2. My favorite seasons in order are: winter, autumn, spring, and summer. I love cool rainy days and hate heat and humidity, so why I live where I do, I have no idea.



3. My favorite color is yellow, edging out blue, and my favorite sound is silence, in moderation. My favorite smell might be hot pavement after a light rain, though fresh-mown grass is very nice. My favorite touch-sensation may be nice clean bed-sheets against my skin.



4. I have a pseudo-phobia of horses, and I do not know why this is since within reason no other animals, including the Big Three S's "spiders and snakes and sharks," scare me.



5. When I was thirteen I persuaded my mother to choose as our PBS (affiliate) membership premium, Upstairs, Downstairs, The Complete First Season, which is maybe my favorite TV show ever.



6. In 1990 I went to Land Between the Lakes with my best friend's family, and ran ahead with her little brother on a multi-mile looping hiking trail so far and so fast, we went all the way around and came up behind the others and scared them. Her dad actually said the ess-word, and I'd never heard him say that before.



7. I once wrote a letter to Kevin Spacey. He replied.



8. I was at Lollapalooza on the 25th anniversary of the moon landing, and hadn't eaten in four days. I came home, turned around and went to visit my family in Ireland, and when my aunt picked my up in Dublin to drive us across, she got me to eat something, and without meaning to I threw it up, and kept throwing up anything I ate for about the next day. It was embarrassing and scary, and her English roommates told me I had a problem. I said no I'm fine, then ate and yakked again. I said sorry, my life these days is an after-school special on steroids (I had to explain to them what an after-school special was) and they nervously kind of laughed, and my aunt promptly reported me to my mother, her oldest sister, who of course freaked out and said, "Evelyn, you're going to die." Ironically, three months later, I nearly did.



9. I almost lost my virginity the same day I got my driver's license. Almost. He asked me a question, and that made me stop and think. For the record, never ask me a deep question if you want to have sex with me because I'll stop whatever I'm supposed to be doing and think about it. Oh, well, taught him to get philosophical.



10. I like to cook, and am good at it, but I don't like to eat, so when people ask why I'm not eating what I fixed, I tell them it's because I put poison in there.


Bonus: As long as I don't know anyone buried there, cemeteries make me feel peaceful and at one with my place in time.

I am too: my hatred for my biological parents trumps everything in my life and is the only thing I am negative about.
