70 Quirks about me:

1. Initials?:
JNR.

2. What is your favorite thing to wear?:
Jeans, shoes I like (this could run the gamut, depending on the day), and some shirt that is comfy yet nice-looking. And most of my jewelry. I like my jewelry. But if I have to pick one thing, probably my jeans. Or certain pairs of shoes.

Part of a white chocolate/peanut butter bunny.

4. For or against same sex marriage?:
For.

Dude, I don't know. Quite a few, and yet not that many since I've lived here for nearly 20 years now.

25. Have you ever bungee jumped?
No.

36. What are you afraid of?
Many things. Most things I should just get over. But actually less than I have been in the past. I feel like I'm in a place where I'm being really honest with myself and others, and for some reason that allows some sort of freedom in my life where fear kind of falls away.

No apostrophe there, but six total holes in my ears.

Two dogs, twenty cats.

Are YOU smarter than a fifth grader?:	Yes. At least definitely in a world-view/experience sort of way.
Would you ever go on that show?:	Probably not. I get all weird about having to show my intellectual prowess in front of crowds, let alone on TV.
If you couldn't swim, how would you save a drowning friend?:	Find someone who could swim? What the hell kind of question is this?
Now you can swim. Your worst enemy is drowning. What do you do?:	I'd still save them. I don't want to be responsible for someone dying, and I really don't have a "worst enemy" that is "worst" enough to want them to die.
