I can't watch sports on TV unless i'm watching them in a group. I'll go to any sport live. i love it, i get so caught up in team mentality. i'm such a joiner...
orion has pictures of me flanked by security the one time we got courtside seats to a bulls game. i was alternately professing my love for jokim noah and threatening unspeakable acts of violence against the other team.
19. Who do you think will not tag you back?
i remember when i was younger, probably like 6 or 7, i stayed home from school because i had hives and my mom broke her usual rule of not letting us play outside if we stayed home from school sick, and she let me go out to play and all the neighborhood kids were playing freeze tag and i made it through the whole game without getting tagged once. i thought perhaps the hives were a symptom of a burgeoning super-power that would enable me to have super-speed.
in retrospect probably none of the neighborhood kids wanted to touch me because i was covered n hives.
crushing, i know...

umm, no. definitely not
though i briefly dated a guy who had a bunch of different bird tattoos. he was constantly trying to buff up so that when he flexed his muscles it looked like their wings were flapping. he told me he was going to get a birdhouse tattooed around his genital region. i ended the relationship.
