Re #6: I totally agree with you about turbulence. I love when you can actually tell that you're in a giant metal tube in the sky. Even when it shakes so hard you feel like the wings are going to rip off, it's more exciting than anything else. I love snakes, and some kinds of spiders. Thanks to my kindergarten teacher keeping one in the classroom I love tarantulas, but I'm much happier if the smaller ones stay *not* on me and eat the pest bugs when I'm not watching.

And My Little Ponies are awesome! I always much preferred playing with them and Trolls as opposed to Barbies (when I wasn't reading; I was kind of an odd child, I suppose).
