Meme of random narcissism

Here's a meme that was going around again recently.

Five random idiosyncratic things about me you probably don't know:

1. I have to have at least two kinds of shampoo and three kinds of conditioner in my shower at all times. (Not always the same two or three kinds, although I certainly go through phases. But I have to have an active rotation.)
   
2. I have never lived in a house with cable television.
   
3. I have a thing for radiant heat. Saunas, hot tubs, sunbathing. (This is apparently one of the traits I inherit from my dad. Unless I was a salamander in some previous life.)
   
4. Breakfast just does not taste as good unless eaten in pajamas. Bathrobe is an acceptable second-best. But the only reason to put on the day's actual clothes before breakfast is pressure of time, and I hate that. (I make an exception for breakfast or brunch out.)
   
5. I am drawn to objects that use text as a decorative motif. E.g.: My cookie jar is green glass with the words for "cookie" in a dozen languages embossed on it. My old coworker Sadi said this was because I was a typographer at heart. I believe it.

Five more facts about me which I consider obvious but are apparently not universally known:

1. I converted to Judaism at the age of 23. (Really, it amazes me that more people do not know this. But I 'pass' extremely well.)
   
2. I grew up in northwest Indiana, about an hour outside of Chicago.
   
3. I have only one sibling (my brother Rick, two years younger than me) and four cousins (two on each side, all girls).
   
4. I graduated high school at 16 and college at 20.
   
5. Every job I have had since graduating college has had to do with books (retail or publishing).

... And now, I'm off to meet Tiger Boy at Burdick's. :-)
