There that's better.

35.  I do not believe in hell.  I believe in love, and therefore I believe there can exist an absence of love.  Every representation of hell, in literature and lore, is an incomplete effort to describe the hell that is love's absence.
36.  I believe in heaven, and have been there. 
37.  I love pasta, with garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese.  I eat it almost every day.
38.  I had a boyfriend who hated garlic and onions.  I missed garlic then.  I don't miss it anymore.
39.  I love to blow my nose.
40.  Lost in Space was once my favorite TV show.
41.  My life is more than half over.  I could be wrong.
42.  I love to dance.  With women, with men, with strangers...
43.  I do not know how to be an adult around children; I know how to be a child around adults.
44.  Sometimes I think I am really quite profoundly insane.
45.  I like to laugh.  I laughed all the time when I was a baby.  I laugh when I am nervous.  I do not like to cry, so I almost never do.
46.  I started shaving my head right after Michael Stipe did.  He still has not noticed.
47.  My back is hairy.
48.  I think most people do work that does not suit them, and that we spend most of our talents dealing with our boredom and dissatisfaction.
49.  I do not contribute to National Public Radio; I contribute to the Sierra Club and Greenpeace.
