1. My first language was Estonian. I still speak, read & write it. All the time!
2. I didn't really speak English until I went to kindergarten,
3. where I learned the word "soon" and thought it meant one o'clock.
4. I thought this until I was 11 years old.
5. Because it rhymes with "noon", you see?
6. My twin sister Twirling Girl has always, always been there.
7. I don’t know what I would do without her.
8. My baby sister Tuuna Taco is my other best friend.
9. My parents are some of the best people I know,
10. And I don't tell them enough, so I am telling them now.
11. Since they read my blog.
12. Which sort of censors me, but that is probably a good thing.
13. I can be gross at your blogs, right?
14. I worry that if I ever meet any of you, you will discover that I am not really as pretty as the persona I have created
15. although I have begun to think of myself as "Spinning Girl" and would probably answer to it if someone called to me.
16. Sometimes I get terribly lonely.
17. Often, I love being alone & doing what I want, when I want.
18. I need to tune my piano so that I can play it.
19. I need to clean my chimney so that I can make bigger fires without fearing that I am going to start a chimney fire.
20. Some pieces of music are so beautiful to me that I cannot contain the emotion I feel when I hear them, and I just cry.
21. I can’t stand most of the music I hear on the radio.
22. There are some exceptions.
23. I have an almost unholy obsession with Yellow Ledbetter and every time I hear those first few hesitant guitar notes, I smile with glee.
24. I had a small alcohol problem once.
25. By small, I mean that it had a short life. Maybe two years of really drinking in a way I felt was out of control.
26. Plus 15 years of wondering if maybe I drank a little too much?
27. I gave up the booze on August 6, 2003.
28. In March of 2004 I drank 3 bottles of wine by myself and scared myself so much that I never want to drink again.
29. In July of 2006 I accidentally took a giant swig of my cousin’s vodka tonic, but only because our cups were identical and it really was by accident.
30. If I drink on purpose, I am afraid I will not stop, ever.
31. I still get mad that something so fun could turn into something so bad, but I’m OK with it and I don’t miss it. It just pisses me off that alcohol was such a mean trickster bastard.
32. I become smitten very easily.
33. Recently I was smitten with someone in my grad class.
34. But he never called when he said he would, so I had my answer.
35. That’s too bad, because I still find him really attractive even though I don’t talk to him much.
36. I am also completely infatuated with Jamwall, even though we have never met, because he gets me and we feed off each other’s sick humor in a truly exhilarating way.
37. Right now, I am imagining Jamwall naked.
38. Are you?
39. Someday, I hope to spend a weekend with him, romping through a condiment village that we have built together.
40. Sometimes I am perfectly happy with my life the way it has gone thus far.
41. But I am always ready for the next big, good thing.
42. I would like to be a mom, though not necessarily give birth.
43. Maybe I just need a pony!
44. Or a dog, a non-pooping dog.
45. Having to pick up shit is the one major thing keeping me from getting a dog.
46. Sharing my living space with a box of urine and shit and giant hair balls is what is keeping me from getting a cat.
47. I had the most amazing cat once, and he will never be equaled.
48. I fear the spider, but only once it has reached a certain size.
49. Spiders of Acceptable Size (SAS) are allowed to live freely in my home.
50. Spiders of Unacceptable Size – SUS-- are thrown outside, not killed, unless they are huge or move very fast.
51. I would probably go crazy if I woke up and discovered an SUS clinging to the tip of my nose with all 8 of its legs.
52. I can honestly say that I love my job.
53. It is like a dream. A job cannot be this perfect, can it?!?!?
54. I sometimes fear becoming debilitated and unable to teach anymore; what would I do then?!?!?
55. I don’t spend much time fearing the future though.
56. Most of my fears are fleeting thoughts, lucky me.
57. Maybe I am stupidly optimistic. That is fine with me.
58. I take life’s little luxuries very seriously.
59. My bed.
60. My coffee.
61. That’s a short list, but those are the two biggies.
62. When I was a child, my favorite place to visit was my grandparents’ house in upstate New York.
63. Sometimes we had to weed the garden, and we had to finish before we could swim.
64. This taught me self-discipline and delayed gratification.
65. I used to pretend I was a poor little slave girl, weeding my little row of carrots in the blazing hot sun.
66. Nothing equals the bliss of a cold swim after you have been sweating in the blazing hot sun.
67. There was (is) a spring-fed pond on my grandparents’ back property.
68. It is stocked with fish that were caught elsewhere & put there by my family.
69. They have lived & multiplied there for 50 years.
70. I used to catch grasshoppers in the meadow and then feed them to the fish.
71. I used to be very good at catching grasshoppers; the most I ever caught was 72.
72. Grasshoppers!!!
73. I fear that one day a swarm of locusts will land on me, as payback.
74. This fear, however, is fleeting.
75. When my family sells my grandparents’ house, I don’t think I will be as sad as I was over the past 10 years, watching it decline from what it once was.
76. Nothing gold can stay.
77. I hope that my parents’ home becomes that way for their grandchildren ... a really special place where you can always go and be happy.
78. I believe it is really important to listen to children and not try to spank too much of their personalities out of them.
79. Like the boy who made the grappling hook; it made me really happy to see that.
80. I can think of 5 teachers off the top of my head who would have said, “put that stupid toy away.”
81. Of course, I teach science, and can justify “allowing” a homemade grappling hook in my classroom.
82. It scares me how little science some people know.
83. I’m a little bit obsessed with Carl Sagan, and rightly so.
84. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors is one of my favorite books of all time.
85. I should read it again soon. I tend to reread books I love several times.
86. I have read Lord of the Rings at least 22 times from start to finish, plus countless times of reading just certain parts.
87. For me, rereading a good book is like visiting a place that I love.
88. When I want to escape for a while, I go to Middle Earth.
89. I’m OK with being a total geek.
90. I have amazing tits, so I can get away with it.
91. Are you imagining my tits right now?
92. Go ahead, then. I am OK with being objectified by you.
93. Shit, I forgot about my parents reading this.
94. Sorry mom and dad, sometimes I say dirty things to be funny.
95. Dirty and funny is one of my favorite combinations.
96. Wow, 100 is a lot.
97. I might have dyslexia because I often reverse “tomorrow” and “yesterday” in my speech, regardless of what language I am speaking. I think those two concepts got stored incorrectly in my Wernicke.
98. I am a huge procrastinator, and I did this instead of grading papers.
99. I always feel better after a good day of procrastinating.
100. I’ll feel even better later when I get that shit done. Thank you for reading!
Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate. This vajayjay is not a toy.

Happy Birthday, Jamwall!!
Words cannot begin to express (as if that ever stopped me) my fascination and admiration for Jamwall. He is the Whiz to my Cheez, the Boost in my Rooster, the muse of my written expression, the dark and slippery demon of my dreaming life, the surprise soft porn on my cell phone. My unexpected laugh, my workday break, my midnight email. I have never met him, yet I consider him a friend.He brn out tha bizzy in me, n in all of us. I can only hizzle ta be H-to-tha-izzles tha genius tizzy he is, dizzle it all!!
On this day, we celebrate him and all that he has brought us in his sick and singular way.
Now demoralize me, you fiendish imp!!!
Today's timestamp marks Jamwall's birth time.
March 07, 2007
The snail arrived, bearing Blog Love on his back.
I am the lucky recipient of some recent (wonderful) blog-lovin' ! My creative muse and partner in condiment-swilling (sorry Miss K, I know it makes your tum tum feel yucky and we should be nice since you broke your ankle, but it needs to be told, and truthfully!) sent me two wonderful packages by USPS lately. Here they are!
The package (unaltered)
The note (slightly altered)
Jamwall's favorite book.We plan to discuss when I have finished (circa 2010).
Also, in a separate mailing, this dragonfly finger puppet!Jamwall knows I love puppets.
Really, I love dragonflies,
my totem animal and symbol of my less-inebriated life.
Now she lives here, on my dragonfly shrine.Wow, that shelf is dusty.
Some other shrinelets.
Thank you, Jamwall, for knowing that gifts like this make me so very happy, and so much more likely to ___ ___ _______ __ _______ ____ _____ _ ____ as you so vehemently & insistently & frequently suggest that I ought to do. Blog love is the best love there is!!!! Well, besides self-love. We could all use a little bit more love, don't you think? Go out there and spread your love, people! Don't be picky, give it to the next person that happens by. That's what I did, and by the power of imagination it was almost like thanking Jamwall in person.

Our Morning Cups: A Documentary
I thought it would be marvelous to see what each of us drinks in the morning. So I put out a request for photos, and received quite a hearty response! Here they are, for your viewing pleasure. I, myself, like to start the day with a squirt, followed by a venti chai or half-caf. I think this says that I am ridiculous, yet pretentious. And oh-so-hip. Let's see what the residents of Blogland have in their Morning Cup, and ponder what it says about them. The Bloggers' own words are in italics. My assessment of what this says about them is in small plain text.
Morning Chocolate Milk!
Sleepy G is chaste and unimpeachable, with a decadent and playful side. Also, unrelated, she was the most beautiful bride.
I HEART my sugar free caramel latte, drunk from my heart mug I made myself. It makes me feel all warm and gooey.
JLee has expensive tastes and appreciates the finer things in life. She is cosmopolitan, yet parochial. She has an eye for art. She is warm and gooey.
I Love Pepsi -- by sleepydog
I do not drink coffee
I do not drink tea
My beloved Pepsi
Is the only drink for me
Sometimes I like chocolate milk
Or spicy hot V-8
But Pepsi comes first
All those other drinks can wait
Sleepydog
Jane
oh my dad, I love her so much I can hardly stand it!!!
This was Jane's best shot. She's drinking her favorite: tall water with extra water, non-fat, no whip, extra cold.
Madge said that on the first attempt, Jane "pulled a diva moment on me and refused to be photographed drinking anything." But on the second attempt, total compliance.
I think Jane's choice of beverage and mug show that she is indeed a diva.
Madge
oh my dad, I love her so much I can hardly stand it!!!
Drinking peppermint tea.
Madge's choice shows us her vigorous, strong-willed nature.
My first sip of my drink in the morning .... a hot cup of Maxwell House, a little creamer and Splenda. It is not what I would be drinking if I had a choice. That would be a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato, but this is the coffee we have at work and it's free!
Lee Ann shows us that she is a survivor. She waits for the splurges of life, knowing that the waiting makes the prize all the sweeter. Also, she is a chemist at heart.
OK ... so here are two because I believe in options. First, the groggy, dishevelled yet honest portrayal of morning and coffee in my world.
... and then there's the mise en scène shot.
Bill's portrayal shows us that, like most of us, he really has two sides: the posed, calculated window-dressing, and the undisguised, lived-in back rooms that only the closest can see. Thank you for showing us both, for you tell a deeper and more beautiful story than you intend.
It was really hard finding someone to take my picture. Here I am enjoying Caribou’s dark roast of the day.
By sending in this [possibly] posed shot, Freewheel is telling the world that he is a man in motion. Growing up, he didn't see the writing on the wall. Passing by, moving straight ahead he knew it all. But maybe sometime if he feels the pain, he'll find he's all alone, everything has changed. But play the game! You know you can't quit until it's won! Soldier on! Only you can do what must be done! You know in some way, you're a lot like me. You're just a prisoner, and you're trying to break free.
Brian
Nothing too exciting, and a shameless commercial for Fourbucks.
Brian is under the employ of the coffee behemoth. But I jest! Look at that wonderful coat. You just know that this man is who coffee-on-the-go was designed for. He is going someplace important, to do big things. I think Brian's tongue-in-cheek comment tells us that, despite his ultra-professional appearance, he doesn't take himself too seriously.
[I] am not a morning person. I was fortunate enough to not get sucked into the coffee routine. I think my parents equated it with cigarettes -- just don't start. So I didn't. I have no desire to start, nor do I salivate while passing a Starbucks. But I do need my morning caffeine, so I get that from a 20 oz Diet Coke (usually w/lime). In general, I've had at least one by 8:30-9:00 in the morning. Doesn't help my morning look, but I'm usually just surfing from my laptop, long before the morning shower.
This is a favorite shot of mine, because Osbasso makes no excuses for who he is. I admire that. Osbasso's choice of beverage reveals that he likes to get a good buzz on, albeit safely. Osbasso is semi-law-abiding. He tries to look at the brighter side of most things. His mood needs a boost now and then.
You and I are lovely happy shiny people who happen to bathe in ketchup ... it's like a vinegary-tomatoey explosion of sexiness.
Jamwall is referring, of course, to our mutual love of condiments, an unholy bond that ties us together, probably for life. I think his choice shows that he is depraved, yet a copycat. He also guzzles olive oil in the late evenings, which probably explains the need for a zesty system clean-out in the mornings.
In truth, I believe this picture is perfect for showing Jamwall's legendary sense of humor, and the little bit of sickness that lies beneath his jovial exterior. He will always take an idea, expand on it, put a bizarre twist on it, and push it to the very edge. He is frighteningly silly, my muse, my long-lost soultwin, and an ally in this painful world. I crave him.
Thus ends our documentary. Do you feel that my assessment of these characters was spot-on, or off the mark? Please feel free to share your own insights as you comment, or link to an uploaded photo of yourself cupping something, to add to our study. Thank you for participating everyone, and bottoms up!

Morning cup meme
Mmmmm, chai!
Frothy, nutmeggy delight.
Like Christmas in my mouth.
I would like to do a documentary post on bloggers enjoying their first sip of whatever they drink in the mornings. I am calling it the Morning Cup Meme. If you would like to participate, please email me a photo of your morning drink, or of you taking your first sip and tell me what you are drinking and any thoughts you may have about it. Creativity and silliness encouraged. Pornography prohibited. Condiments heartily welcomed. Deadline: whenever I feel like it.
Bottoms up!

I am guzzling condiments and I mustn't be stopped.
Rooster Booster!
I must be suffering from a deficit in Vitamin J. And until I get to the sto', this is my sole source of nutriment!!!
Some of my favorite condiments are:
Worcestershire sauce
Mint jelly
Jalapeño jelly
Salsa
Hot mustard
Wasabi
Mayonnaise
Chutney
How about you?
p.s. This is reminiscent of the post about all the meats I have eaten, probably some of my very best writing to date.
p.p.s. Please do continue to express the hive mind. 'Cause I got nothin'. It's midterms!!! Need I say more?!?!?! I can't even muster the mental strength to make my bed!
