\n1. Well, I don’t “hate” this, but I’m not wacky about my nose. It looks fine from straight-on, but in profile it’s goofy.
\n2. My depressions. Haven’t had one in a couple years, knock wood. But I don’t like them. They last too long.
\n3. My insecurity when cooking in front of other people<\/i>. I know that’s very specific, but … I am only relaxed cooking when I’m by myself. I get very nervous and insecure when cooking FOR others, or when a group of people are preparing a meal and I’m part of the preparation. I would love to get rid of this insecurity specifically.<\/p>\n

More DOING than talking. I’m not just talking about sex, although good Lord, sex certainly is included.<\/p>\n
Two Truths and a Lie:<\/b>
\n1. I got an F one quarter in Introduction to Physical Sciences in high school. I just couldn’t understand the topic. The teacher was nuts and wore ties wider than his own head. He had a nervous breakdown the year after I was in his class, and had to leave his job. He used to show up at basketball games (after losing his job) and sit by himself and SCREAM for our team as though he were in the front row watching the New York Knicks. I was only 15, and he had failed me so I naturally hated him, but still – I felt very very sorry for him.<\/p>\n
