Me too, except I don't just fall asleep afterward. I just stay up until everyone else has been asleep for an hour or two.

I am such a picky eater that I have pretended to have food allergies in order to not have to eat certain things. For instance, I am allergic to lasagna but not to spaghetti. :)

As a child (age 6-10 or so), I would often lay awake at night in the dark (near-total darkness: I could not sleep with a nightlight) and if I stared long enough I would start to see shapes and textures in the darkness, phosphors and vortices of midnight in my bedroom. I can sometimes recreate this in my adult life, but it is very difficult, as I am usually asleep with 2 minutes of laying down in a dark room!

Also at this young age, I distinctly remember having the ability to "think outside myself", marveling at how insignificant I was - not in a depressed way, but remarking on the largeness of the universe, and wondering about my purpose in it. I have tried to capture that feeling many times since, but can't do it without the help of much alcohol. :)

I am the owner of a sweet boxer named Biscuit, who growls at me when I tell her she stinks, and bites me when I call her a Steeler fan.

I can read the same books over and over again. Some I've read well over fifty times.

I had a goat when I was 13, named Clarence. He ate my uncle's farmland away for about an acre, so they killed him and tried to cover it up.

I'm also writing a series of comic books. :D

I created a comic when I was a kid. It was called Star Warrior. I can't imagine what inspired that name...hmmm....
