I can recite the full names of all the twentieth century presidents.

**XJETGIRLX** , I LOVE your wedding dress! Is that the _Ever After_ pattern?

I want to learn to sew very badly. I’ve already started embroidering-by HAND. Not crosstitch, either. Cross stitching is for babies (no offense!). I mean real old fashioned embroidery.

I do have a machine-as soon as I get some money, I’m going to get a pattern, material and start. Ha.

Oh, and I read “smart” books for fun. And non-fiction.

I have never seen _Titanic_ OR a reality TV show. Ha ha ha!

I’m smug over my spelling and grammar abilities. They’re pretty average by SDMB standards, but my coworkers come to me when they aren’t sure about how a letter should look. I was the city spelling champion in my hometown when I was in sixth grade.

I’m smug because I have never smoked a cigarette, not even one!

I’m smug because I prefer reading science, history, and social studies books to Oprah books.

The fact that Canada is getting really close to legalising pot so the americans will have to come to us.
