4. A squirrel came down my chimney and jumped in my bed while I was still in it.


5. One of my earliest memories is taking a package left on my neighbor's doormat.


6. I have caused more than one of my teachers to cry.


7. When I was in high school I thought joining a sorority would be fun.


8. I was a cheerleader.


9. I've never lived more than four years in one place.


10. I've studied at Cambridge University in England.


11. My name was almost Patricia.


12. A real estate agent who became known as "Mr. Pond Scum" came into my life on April Fool's Day last year.


13. I can remember my grandmother's phone number (201.451.2096), which has been disconnected for over a decade, but had to ask what my own was last night.
