2. 7 random or weird things about me.

Random thing #1: I unconsciously memorize song lyrics and they pop into my head at random times.

Hey Mr. Tamborine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm goin to

Random thing #2: I've been to North Pole.

Hey Mr. Tamborine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship

Random thing #3 My favorite toys are my Roomba and my iPod.

My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip

Random thing #4: My father-in-law punched Bob Dylan

My toes to numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering

Random thing #5: One of my favorite authors is James Thurber.

I'm ready to go anywhere.

Random thing #6: The scene in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," when Holly Golightly abandoned Cat, on the street, in the rain, made me cry.

I'm ready for to fade.
Into my own parade.
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it.

Random thing #7: My favorite fair is the Seattle Folk Life festival

Lyrics from Mr. Tamborine Man by Bob Dylan.
