Stolen from my favorite grey duck.

1) My uncle once: showed me the Gubbio Room, a carved-wood room hidden away in the Met that makes me realize something of what the world has lost, in terms of craftsmanship. (Photos by Anna)
2) Never in my life: will I date another musician. No more. I swear.
3) When I was five: I was short. I still am.
4) High school was: the most useful time in my life.
5) Fire is: pretty. (And firedancers are sexy.)
6) I once saw: a perfect moonrise in the mountains
7) There’s this woman I know who: likes Michael Marshall Smith, irises, and is nicer than I can say.
8) Once, at a bar: I trusted my life story to two other teachers, and they did the same
9) By noon I’m usually: hungry. And dangerous.
10) Last night: I packed. A lot.
11) If I only had: pickles, I wonder how long I would survive.
12) Next time I go to church: I will probably be with my boyfriend, and I will be happy.
13) The best thing about my last relationship was: the way he encouraged me to be independent.
14) What worries me most: is the idea that there isn't enough kindness or patience in the world to balance out the ignorant and the fearful
15) When I turn my head left: I enjoy my fan. Man, I can't wait til I get air conditioning.
16) When I turn my head right: boxes, boxes, boxes everywhere.
17) You know I’m lying when: you're a stranger I expect to never see again, and you ask me about what my life history is. I can't seem to help from throwing in a few wild whoppers then. I'm not sure why. I'm really, really strict about not lying to anyone I care about.
18) What I miss most about the eighties: is the fact I never really noticed anything about them when I was living it. Can you be nostalgic for something you've never experienced.
19) If I were a character written by Shakespeare, I’d be: Kate, from the Taming of the Shrew. You get to figure out why.
20) By this time next year: I'd better have a job.
21) I have a hard time understanding: chit chat. I always feel a little awkward, trying to make that kind of light conversation and then acting as if I treat it seriously.
22) You know I like you if: I smile at you? I like everyone.
23) If I won an award, the first person I’d thank would be: Sam, a random student I was teaching when I was at Kaplan. Because he made me feel like he needed me and I made a difference, and could do it elsewhere. And he showed me that believing in myself could be just that blithe.
24) Darwin, Mozart, Slim Pickens & Geraldine Ferraro: remind me of the fact that I should be doing my homework, oddly enough, since they did a heck of a lot more than I'm doing.
25) Take my advice, never: forget that there's a backup plan
26) My ideal breakfast is: medium-rare steak, and chocholatey coffee
27) If you visit my hometown, I suggest you go to: rest under a tree and think about how rare it is to find such quiet, in the megatropolis that is New York.
28) Why doesn’t everyone: have enough food, or safety? How can that be right?
29) If you spend the night at my house: my cat will eat you.
30) I’d stop my wedding: if I found out that my fiance had lied to me over something important. Honesty is the only policy in a relationship.
31) The world could do without: the abillity to instantly say whatever you felt like. 1 full minute of consideration before speaking might be tiresome to have a conversation with, but hopefully less thoughtless things would be said.
32) My favorite blonde is: Bridget, from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
33) If I do anything well, it’s: Nap. I feel my naps are very successful.
34) And by the way: I am hanging out with
