Bulb out. I felt it while leaving the ARC and knew it would be bad when I dumped my wineglass after one sip.

So in light (poor word choice) of the oncoming migraine, I'm plagiarizing my own Facebook again. Shortly after the request for 16 "random" things came a request for 25. I can't resist talking about myself, so I played along again.
Consider yourselves "tagged".

1. I'm a little disturbed by how much I like FaceBook.
2.Given a choice of coffee or tea, 99 times out of 100, it's the former, but if asked to choose between coffee and wine from here on out, it would be a tough choice.
3. Of course I'm not such a peasant that I buy wines because of their pretty labels! I choose them based on their names (Novella, Sincerity, Sixth Sense, Lorca, etc.).
4. I love all dogs.
5. The activities that bring me the most pleasure are also often those which paralyze me with insecurity.
6. I hardly ever watch TV and I feel kind of guilty about that.
7. I prefer to listen rather than talk. But I'm getting better about talking!
8. Even the days of darkest feelings are better than a few minutes devoid of feelings at all.
9. I am fascinated by and thankful for serendipity, but I don't count on it.
10. I love true humility in certain people who have achieved greatness.
11. I love swaggering arrogance in certain young people who have yet to achieve all they eventually will (see McLovin from the movie SuperBad).
12. It is easier for me to express affection in Spanish than it is in English.
13. Although I was skeptically aloof at first, within 30 seconds of my first and only visit, I was swept away by the magic of Disneyland.
14. The voices of Leonard Cohen, Joan Baez and James Taylor have the power to stop me in my tracks and send me instantly on a multi-sensory trip back in time.
15. You'd have to do something reallyreallyreally bad for me to not forgive you.
16. I watch for the reactions of the people I've cooked for as they take their first bite.
17. I treasure "I voted" stickers as the manifestations of an almost sacred right/rite.
18. Sometimes I think my MacBook has a soul.
19. I've forgotten the art of uni-tasking: I'm writing this, reading Monsiváis, doing laundry and playing with the dogs.
20. I heart hearts.
21. Religion, politics or Ford vs. Chevy are discussions I try to avoid around people with whom I want to stay friends.
22. I have a small collection of Homies.
23. I like cities. A lot.
24. At times when I least expect it and most need it a rush of "love thy neighbor" (and thy neighbor's neighbor) floods my heart.
25. 25 things are too many. And I'm not "tagging" anyone because it's invasive, because some of you may not like it, and because even if I did tag I wouldn't want to tag only 25 of you, potentially causing the 116 others to feel left out.
