August 1, 2011 Yes. I used to teach crocheting to the spouses at Gencon (a gaming convention in Indianapolis). One year I decided to dress up as my own special Superhero. I called her Pansy Petal. She wore pink and black tights, a pink wig and eyelashes, pink hightop converse shoes and a pink tutu. I don't know what her superpower was, but I'm pretty sure she was BFFs with Strawberry Shortcake.

My mom, in an effort to soothe my broken heart after some boy preferred a girl I thought was prettier than me, would often say, "Beauty is only skin-deep, but ugly is to the bone." I'm sure she was trying to make me feel better by telling me that I was a generally kinder, nicer person, but after a while, it came to feel like the thing you tell the girl who is ugly, but has a great personality. Since I don't really think I'm ugly, I think it might have been better to simply tell me I was beautiful as well.

Yes, I have volunteered at the Marion County Humane Society and at Soup's On, which is a program that feeds the homeless and working poor in downtown Indianapolis.
