So, I'm probably way late on this, but the BBC has a list of 50 things to eat before you die. Why was I not informed?! This is a project I can definitely get behind. I've already got a lot of them covered, actually. I have happily partaken in numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, 38, 39, 41, 44, 45, 46, 49, and 50. That leaves 21 to go!

What's your favorite foreign accent?
This one's easy -- British! How do they always manage to make everything sound so damn sophisticated? They could say, "Pardon me, I farted." and it would sound fantastic. And the worst part about it is that I can never sound like that unless I want to be a poser like Madonna. No, I'm stuck with my nasal Chicago accent, which isn't half bad, either.

What's your middle name? Is there a story or history behind it?
My middle name is currently my maiden name -- Habegger. It was originally Marie, but I decided that I didn't want to have four names after I got married. Now I'm rethinking that, though, and am considering adding Marie back into the mix.
It just seems wrong that my Mom can't scream "Jean Marie!" at me without technically being wrong.
