Did you know that I like Arm and Hammer Peroxide with baking soda toothpaste?

Yup. I do.

I really like the astringent quality that comes to my mouth after really brushing vigorously. It's a nice antiseptic feeling. Sometimes, the peroxide part makes my mouth sting, but that's okay, because I know that brushing ones teeth is an important ritual, and if the feeling of clean sometimes hurts, well then that's the way it has to be. I'd rather have a stinging mouth every morning rather than be in pain at the hands of some malevolent dentist or hygenist, in fact even a benevolent dentist scares me.

(As an aside I like the alliteration of "I've seen people pouring bleach out of a bottle over their bodies." Not the idea, the rhythmic sound of it.)

Did you know that I have a tendency to be impetuous? I rarely take time to think things through before I act on them. It's a bad trait.

For example: I jumped in a truck and moved to San Francisco. Good move or bad? You tell me.

Second example: I buy fucking every CD that comes in my view. I watch MTV once in my fucking adult life and see the video for "Do you know what I mean?" by Oasis, I go out and buy the record, and I fucking hate it.

I am easily manipulated by the media.

I am easily fooled by surveys (2 out of three times I believe made up statistics).

I get stupid when I drink.

Did you know that I honestly wish they made Grrr-animals for adults? I do, I wish I could wake up in the morning and put the zebra pants and the zebra shirt on....it would be so easy. And hey, if you remember anything about Grrr-animals, would you mail me? Any tidbit of information will be appreciated.

Did you know that my favorite foods are fresh basil pesto and cheese sandwiches?

Yup. It's true.

I love cheese sandwiches. Not just the run-of-the-mill-type cheese sandwiches. But with really-really sharp cheddar cheese, spinach. cucumbers, sprouts, tomatoes, on a multigrain bread. Sometimes I like to put avocado (natures mayonnaise) on my sandwiches.

Another favorite, is totake foccacia, slice it in half, spread goat cheese and an olive tapanade, put some spinach on it and call it a "fancy sandwich."

Did you know that I am argumentative as all get out? I am almost always wrong, too. For example I once was extolling the virtues of a crap-band (The Rentals) whilst dissing an even crappier band (Weezer). My girlfriend was insisting they sounded almost exactly alike (hook-wise). I argued for quite a while that they did not sound the same. A while later I was perusing a copy of the Trouser Press and read that they were, in fact, the same band. Sheesh. I should also let you know that I promptly called my girlfriend (who was out of town at the time) and told her the whole deal. So while I may always be wrong, I do have integrity, and know when to drop an argument, even at the price of being teased relentlessly.
