I'm 5'5" and wear size 20/22 (on an average, depends on the cut of the clothing).

I buy size 10 shoes, but would love it if shoe manufacturers made size 9 3/4 shoes. 10 is a little too big, but 9 1/2 is definitely too small.

I reached my current height and shoe size by the time I was 12.

I grew up with dogs and knew next to nothing about cats until I met Jenn.

Favorite foods: mashed potatoes made with vegetable broth, grilled portabello mushroom sandwich, humuus, Panda Express Tofu in Spicy Garlic Sauce.

There is no such thing as too much garlic.

When I was a very small girl, I was convinced that, at some point, I had crossed my feet at my ankles for so long that they had switched places. My right foot became my left and my left became my right. This belief may be the reason I still have trouble telling my left from my right.

I have a round birthmark on my left bicep near the inside of my elbow.

When I was around 7 or 8 I was setting the table for dinner, knew that the fork went on the left side, but still couldn't figure out which side was left. That's when Dad told me that my birthmark was on my left arm. To this day I sometimes have to think about which arm has the birthmark to remember my left from my right.

I gave away my virginity to my second boyfriend when I was 23, five months after I got my driver's license and two months after I bought my first car (brand new).

I still drive that car.

I no longer have that boyfriend.

I have retained a close friendship with only one of my ex-boyfriends. He was my third boyfriend and is eighteen years older than me.

I'm a little sad that I haven't remained friends with two of my other exes (#1 and #4).

Though I loved #2 a lot and am grateful to him for being such a wonderful erotic teacher, I'm not sorry we're not friends. A nice enough guy, but too arrogant and conservative for me. Besides, he's a gun collector. *shiver*

I'm fascinated by all things metaphysical and have sensed spirits.

While meditating, I felt my late sister touch my shoulder.

I'm a hell of a tarot card reader, but don't do it often enough.

I was fourteen when I was cast in my first play. It was a one act melodrama, and I played a con woman/fortune teller. It was a great role and my romantic interest was played by Pat Hamill, younger brother of Mark Hamill. This was in 1981.

My childhood imaginary friend was Doctor Doolittle.

My favorite color is blue. Either deep cobalt or deep royal. Then again, you may have figured that out by now.

When I was seven or eight, I stepped on a huge piece of glass and had to get stitches in my left foot. The scar that was left behind is almost invisible.

I have hyperventilated once in my life, but stopped just before I passed out.

I'm the medically lucky one of the family.

I suspect I have more testosterone than the average woman, as evidenced by my love of power tools, heightened sex drive and naturally hairy arms and legs (which I try to keep looking smooth and feminine most of the time, despite my super sensitive pale skin).
