A "Not Heavy" Post or 68 Things You Might Not Care About

I realize that all of my posts so far have been pretty "heavy"...death, migraines, parental history.  So I thought I would do one of those cheesy meme's that people send around and expect you to answer only it's the same people all the time so they know your answers by heart and you know their answers by heart.  I found one that isn't the same old same old, so maybe you can learn some things about me from this.  Or not.
