32. While some people have one or two favorite restaurants, I have a favorite restaurant for different types of foods. Grilled cheese at Melt in Lakewood. Mac 'n cheese at Krazy Mac's (formerly Cheddar's) in Cleveland. White cheddar mashed potatoes at Cleveland Chophouse. Hot dogs with cheddar at the Hot Dog Shoppe in East Liverpool. Pasta - salmon farfalle at Vivo and mushroom tagliatelle at Bice, both in downtown Cleveland.
33. I like to move my furniture around frequently. This has always been the case, ever since I moved into my own room at age seven. Unfortunately, my current apartment doesn't really contribute this obsession.
34. My family's favorite card game is euchre. I'm decent at it. I just don't have the patience or desire to count the cards and pay attention to what's been played and what hasn't. The only cards I care about are the left and right bowers.
35. My favorite colors are red, red, red and black.
36. I really want to go to grad school. Right now, I'm thinking about the master's in environmental studies at Cleveland State University. It's just a matter of finding the time and oh, the money.
37. I learned to drive on a standard and took my driving test on a standard (passed the first time, thank you very much). After driving a standard in Philly, I'll never own one again. The other nonnegotiable for any car I own is that it must include a sunroof.
38. I was born in Elyria, Ohio, though was technically a resident of East Liverpool, Ohio, located two hours away. When my parents moved to East Liverpool, my mom kept her doctor in Elyria, where she's originally from.
39. When I was in my teens, I wanted to be a marine or wildlife biologist. There's nothing quite as amazing as watching a humpback whale coming up out of the water and crashing back into the ocean, or seeing a wolf disappear into the treeline.
40. Christmas is my hands-down favorite holiday. My family tradition includes attending Midnight Mass (my one time a year to be a Catholic), rushing home and getting into our PJs and opening gifts starting at 1:30 in the morning. Dad is the only one who can hand out gifts. And of course, it wouldn't be complete without the wrapping paper fight. After all the gifts are opened (except for the one my mom holds to open on Christmas Day morning), we break out the chips and dip (which MUST be Lawson's french onion chip dip from what is now Circle K) and watch a family movie. People start crashing around 4:30/5 am. We sleep in, though Dad gets up around 9 am to start dinner.
