And because Ray will whine if I don’t…
41(b). I can’t stand the taste of artificial sweeteners.
42(b). I am a live music junkie. I can no longer count the number of concerts I’ve been to.
43(b). I love Billy Joel’s music. I’ve seen him in concert twice, plus I saw his Q&A tour.
44(b). In addition to the many, many other types of music I like, I enjoy country. This is a result of a brief relationship I had while I was in college. He took me to my first country concert at the fair.
45(b). My favorite country artist is Collin Raye. He has the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard.
46(b). My very first concert was Richard Marx.
47(b). I went to that concert with my first boyfriend, J. My memories of that concert, as well as much of that relationship, are not good.
48(b). I’ve never been good at any sport involving a ball. I played softball as a kid, and I was relegated to the two positions given to the kids who couldn’t play–catcher, and way, way outfield. It was years before I learned that catcher is actually an important position.
49(b). I tried a whole bunch of other sports…gymnastics, swimming and diving, track. But cheerleading was the one thing I was good at.
50(b). I once dreamed of being an actress.
51. I used to hate Doritos, and I now eat them compulsively.
52. I like two kinds of cake: Devil’s food, preferably with no icing, but buttercream if there must be icing at all; and White, with my homemade chocolate peanut butter icing.
53. My grandmother passed without any of us learning how to make her homemade apple pie. Mine is the one that comes closest to hers (crust and all!), and this makes me intensely proud.
54. I am very good at my job, but I don’t like it.
55. The very first music I purchased was the 45 of “Eye in the Sky” by the Alan Parsons Project. (wow, I’m old…)
56. I don’t like math.
57. I know how to make meatballs. And they’re pretty darn good, too.
58. I love Disney movies. The musicals. “Beauty and the Beast” is probably my favorite.
59. I wear my hair short, and I like it that way.
60. I love to fly.
