O, no! the apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse: Fell sorrow's tooth doth never rankle more Than when he bites, but lanceth not the sore

1. What was the last thing that blew your mind? the pain of a toothache is ferocious and uncontrollable. One night last week, I was unable to sleep because the weight of my tongue or cheek on the tooth (which was infected) was breathtaking. It's back to maybe 30% functionality now.
2. Your colleagues have just given you a round of applause. What have you done? directed the project manager's attention to a different colleague's, er, inability or unwillingness to follow the protocol
3. If you could outsource one routine task or chore forever, what would it be? cleaning glass, which mystifies me
4. What have you been complimented on most in your life so far? my eyes
5. Should a life sentence actually be for life? yes, absolutely
6. What's your favorite cake frosting? it's an old-fashioned cooked version called White Mountain Frosting. Time-consuming, very sweet, and fluffy, it is perfect on angel food cake.
7. Have you ever been on a blind date? not precisely
8. Which appliance in your home is the noisiest when in use? the paper shredder, which is deafening
9. Which one of your friends would be most likely to win a plate-spinning contest? Dan. 
    This is a compliment. He somehow manages to be organized, multi-faceted, and physically adept, all at once. 
10. What's the most painful thing you've ever stepped on without shoes? a rusty nail. Why is it that when kids step on a nail, it's always huge and rusted?
11. You've been offered $100,000 to do a ski jump. Would you do it? I would sure as Hell try
12. What one rule should never, ever be broken? don't talk about Fight Club
13. What's the highest score you've ever achieved on a test? 106%, in the first History class that knocked me flat with fascination
