It's time for this because frankly I can't get rid of this desire to stab myself to death. BLAH!!!
23)I'm always singing even if it's in my head. Music is at the soul of everything.
24)I have soft skin.
25)I'm sexually and sensually awesome!
26)Great sense of humor.
27)I like middle of the night phonecalls. They are generally so raw and honest but I don't know many people who like receiving them like me so I don't make or receive them often.
28)I'm a pretty good cook.
29)I have a nice speaking voice, often called sexy, professional, comforting.
30)I'm a lucid dreamer. And dream quite a bit during a sleep.
31)Sushi is my absolute favorite and can be orgasmic for me.
32)Feel immediately relaxed by water. I can fall asleep on a beach or floating in a pool.
33)I love writing poetry and am actually quite proud of some of my pieces.
34)I don't mind getting lost.
35)I'm intelligent...have a decent IQ.
36)I'm a quick learner.
37)I'd give my last dollar to my enemy if they seriously need it.
38)Some of my earliest memories are from around year two of my life...and they are vivid.
39)British comedy
40)I'm teaching myself to crochet and can make an awesome scarf. And I'm working on a blanket now.
I use to swim for conditioning. It was great relaxer. Very repetitive. The stroke of the arms and the breathing. Hearing the rush of water pass your ears and you pull yourself through the water. I would count in spanish while swimming. I would think about my problems.
Damn! I need to get back into that.

I agree. Jogging around the lakeside or swimming for 45_min in a 50_m pool are one of the most inspirative moments. I also need them to give things their exact place and importance.

I relate to 23 and 32 (and 7, 8, 12 and 13 of your first list). I get my most creative ideas while driving and doing just boring, normal crap. Doing housework in an empty house brings my own music to my head. I always sing, especially in the car. Driving lets me space out and get into my own head while still showing me a running, changing stream of new visual information - totally inspiring.

Dish washing? I think there is, Alicia. And I think meditation leads to clarity which leads to inspiration. Doesn't Cameron say in the Artist's Way that repetitive actions generally bring about creative sparks? I think that's where I read it. So many creative people get ideas doing something monotonous and repetitive...during driving, dishes, etc. I get alot of inspiration during showering. Go figure.

Naomi, sweetie, it is scary how much alike we are. I am sure there are differences...like I don't crochet. And I only like middle of the night phonecalls that aren't emergencies. add #41, you are an awesome mom in there.
Isn't there something meditative about washing dishes by hand?

I like your lists! Please finish them. I like getting to know more about you, and I've enjoyed your blog posts. Glad I found you, and I'm not sure how I did. You've inspired me to start my own list. Happy list making! :-)
