I'm particularly proud of my reluctance to share my dreams with anyone.

In the 20 long hungry years between my late teens and late 30s I bought in to virtually every new diet and/or exercise regime that hoved into view particularly at this most vulnerable time for those of us prone to poor body image - a new year.

I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.

When I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me.

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend me. Certain women particularly older women cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.

I like the idea of dating but I'm not dating anyone exclusively particularly right now. It's hard to be in a relationship unless you're ready to go public with it. So it's a lot easier for me to not be in a relationship. I really don't want that part of my life to be tabloid fodder.

My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy very courteous.

The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one particularly if he plays golf.

See at a certain point it becomes cool to be boy crazy. That happens in sixth grade and it gives you so much social status particularly in an all-girls school if you can go up and talk to boys.

I don't particularly dislike any kind of person that might be reading my stuff. They like it and that's cool but I don't do the work for any kind of group in particular except for hobos who just plain kick ass and light up my life.
