I've yet to do this...

4. I got into movies thanks to my movie-buff grandmother who I call every day of my life. She is 78, but has the mind of someone much younger. Her favorite movies from the last ten years are Adaptation, The Visitor, and 500 Days of Summer.
I like your grandmother already. Not in a Jewish way that is. If you see what I mean.

I've never been outside North America.  And mostly just the US.  A weekend in Vancouver for a conference where I saw practically none of the city, and a long vacation in Tulum, Mexico (which was terrific!).

3. I won an original Xbox from Taco Bell

A won an original PlayStation in some online music trivia contest. 

4. I've moved six times from when I was born till I was 13

I think I moved seven times by the time I was 8.  Since graduating college I've moved 10 times (but now I own my house... well, actually the bank owns most of it).

Another one...

I suffer from Blepharitis. I was diagnosed by my eye doctor when I was in grade school. It basically means that my eyes don't create enough natural tears to keep the crud out of my eyes and therefore they get really dry and red sometimes. It isn't really a problem and maybe I have just grown accustomed to it, but sometimes it can get bad and I pretty much can't concentrate on anything but how dry my eyes are. And yes, the red eye has gotten me the pot comments. One time in fact I was at a restaurant, which will remain nameless, and I was at the cashier, placing my order, and she said to me, "Oh, you know where to get the good stuff." I wanted to crack up laughing so bad, but couldn't do it.

So yea, I have trouble crying. So what. I'm a man. I'm twenty-two.

I wish I had that problem (the no crying part anyway).

I am a 36 year old 230 lb gruff guy with a beard and I cry like a 7-year old girl. I dont think I have ever listened to an episode of This American Life that didnt make me cry!  ;)

Really? Not a single one? Even the one about Canadians?

Seems like it. I cant count the number of times I am driving my big truck feeling all red neck only to break out in tears because of something on that damn show.

The one that got me was the story of the guy who hit a girl riding her bike with his car when he was a teenager. That had me way past dusty.
