51. I love classical music, but I need to be doing something else (such as reading or working on the computer) to listen to it. I find going to the symphony to be one of the most boring things I can think of doing.
52. My favorite condiment is mustard.
53. When I was a sophomore in high school, I won fourth place in a writing contest sponsored by the Deseret News sports section. My prize was a poster autographed by John Stockton.
54. I had shingles three years ago, and I lived to tell the tale.
55. When I was younger, I hated the fact that I had freckles.
56. In the spring of 2000, I took part in a chicken dancing marathon to help set the Guinness World Record in Fruita, Colorado.
57. I am a big gum chewer and love to blow bubbles.
58. With a birthday in October, I was by far one of the youngest people in my grade in school. I was one of the few juniors in Driver's Ed. and was 17 when I started my first semester of college.
59. I have had a kissing scene in a play.
60. Autumn is my favorite season, though around here it rarely lasts long enough to be thoroughly enjoyed.
61. I have feared I was going to be arrested four different times in my life - twice in this country, and twice in Peru.
62. I tried skiing just once. At the end of the evening, I was so black and blue from falling down that I haven't wanted to go again.
63. I recently learned about Talk like a Pirate Day for a work project I researched and wrote about. I now plan to observe it each year on September 19. (Won't you join me, matey?)
64. Before I arrived in Peru, I hadn't looked up the name of their currency (it is the sol, as in "sun") and seriously wondered if I was being ripped off when I traded in my first set of dollars at the bank.
65. I still have a fear of needles, and the only way I can get through giving blood or getting a blood test is not to look at the needle.
66. While I was growing up, one of my pet dogs apparently tried to hang himself.
67. One of my vices is Dr. Pepper, but I made a New Year's resolution this year to give up carbonated drinks. So far, so good.
68. I detest movies in which thieves are the protagonists (i.e. Ocean's Eleven, The Italian Job, The Godfather, Bandits, etc.).
69. For different reasons, I also detest "Friends" and "Will & Grace."
70. Though I attended the University of Utah, I am a BYU Cougars fan. That doesn't mean that I root against the Utes; I just root for the Cougars when the two schools play each other.
71. A lot of the music that my parents subjected me to on family trips when I was younger is now some of my favorite music, too. Included in this group are: John Denver, Anne Murray, Olivia Newton-John, Disney tunes, showtunes, and folk music.
72. I have a good memory and rarely forget a name/face once I have learned it.
73. I far prefer eating cookie dough to eating cookies, whatever the risk of salmonella may be.
74. Though I sometimes make fun of them, I have seen many chick flicks and am always up for some female company to watch one (wink, wink).
75. Unlike my four brothers, I did not get my Eagle Scout award. I was a couple of merit badges and a service project shy.

66. The dog probably just was trying to get loose and got caught in a bad way.
Didn't know you didn't get your Eagle.
