Judging by my last entry, perhaps it is time to do a "101 Things About The Magus That You Thought You Might Want To Know But On Second Thought That Was Just Indigestion" list.

1) I was born in 1977.

2)In June.

3)Yes, just a few months after Star Wars came out. My mom saved a newspaper story about Star Wars that came out the same day as my birthday, for some reason.

4)I'm a cancer.

5) Which means that whenever someone asks my sign (and sometimes when they don't) I always say, "I'm a cancer. I grow on people."

6) I am aware that that joke may be in bad taste.

7)I have a brother, and a younger sister.

8)I'm already having trouble with this list.

9)I like to read, and I think I've always liked to read.

10)According to Mom, the first book I ever read by myself, at age 3, was Go Dog, Go.

11) If that picture works, I will be so impressed with myself.

12)I have more than 5 favourite movies. Some of the ones you can't find on my profile are Rocky Horror Picture Show, Alien, Adventures in Babysitting, Run, Lola, Run, and Pride and Prejudice.

13) I have a rotating list of "The Five Hottest Men Ever" which almost never has five men in it. Currently, in no particular order, they are Colin Firth, Sean Astin, Fred Durst (don't ask), Tim Robbins, and some other guy out there who I can't think of, so I'll say Pookie.

14) I'm male, so I guess that makes me gay.

15) Which is one of those things that doesn't make a big difference until it does.

16) I'm so out, I haven't seen my closet in years.

17) Consequently, my bedroom is always a mess, due to clothes on the floor.

18)I'm currently dating a guy named Pookie.

19) We've been together for over 4 years as of 2003. I'm going to be with him the rest of his life.

20)

21) We own a cat that likes to eat books.

22) I sometimes care for poinsettas at work, even though that's not my job.

23) I have never used this many pictures in an entry before. God I hope they work.

24) This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.

25) I work midnight shifts

26) So I hardly ever see the sun.

27) Which means that colours are sometimes a novelty to me.

28) And I get tired quite often.

29)And I am so stretching this out.

30) I like science fiction and fantasy.

31)I plan to be a writer. Or an editor. Or something with words.

32)My mom was a reporter, so I might do that, too.

33)My dad flies helicopters, and so I have been in helicopters many times.

34)My parents are divorced, and I always thought it didn't affect me, but maybe it has, which bugs me, because imagine how messed up I might have been if they had stayed together.

36)I'm anti-war and pro-socialism.

38)I am Canadian.

39)I do drink beer.

40)And a lot of other fluids.

41)I think this might be a two-parter.

56)I think I just said three things about someone else. Is that cheating?

60)I like history.

61)I like the woods.

62)My favourite season is the summer.

86)I am writing the 86th thing about me right now.

87)I am now writing the 87th.

88)This excercise has made me think about myself in weird and interesting ways. I also need to come up with something that allows for an accompanying picture, because it's been a while. Damn...the second half of this one could have been 89.

89) This is 89.

90)That wasn't about me, and now I'm getting silly.
