zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance (twice), a small town in Germany (odd because I like le carre) , mrs Dalloway (don't think i'll ever read woolf again), the accidental tourist (just last week and i'll never read anne tyler again) and I confess I skimmed a lot of merchant of venice. so four(ish maybe) that I can remember. the amazing part of the accidental tourist is, it was a Pulitzer prize finalist---I found it to be absolutely terrible and was shocked to find reviews on amazon where people said they read the book over and over, or that it was amongst their favorites, etc. was also shocked to find out it had been made into a movie with some very popular actors. what the heck!
I feel bad giving up on books---I even made it through moby dick, which I hated, and a catcher in the rye, which I also hated but at least that one was blissfully short.
and oh, I can do 10 ounces of potato chips pretty easily, 15 seems reachable...20 is a possibility if the one sitting is a lonnnnnng one.

How many times have you lost your temper in 2015?
-
Maybe twice, both times at my brother.
How many times have you listened to your favorite album?
EDIT: Three times, I got mad at my coworker and called her ringtone annoying. But it was! It was Stewie asking for his Mama two hundred times.
-
Probably over one hundred times all the way through, maybe more because I have no way of knowing.
I semi lose my temper pretty often because I work with a bunch of little kids, I'm a horrible disciplinarian though. Full blown temper loss? Maybe once when a three and four year old were running towards the road, too far away for me to catch up (you can never know if they're going to actually stop) and I could see a car coming pretty fast in my peripheral and neither of them were listening to me or another instructor screaming at them.
How many times have you punched someone in the face?
-
Once. It was at a Middle School bus stop. The local bully had just thrown the novel I was reading into a puddle. His nose bled like a stuck pig, but no one ever started with me again.
How many times have you made someone cry in 2015?
-
Tons of times, but again, kids, mostly three and under and they cry for stupid reasons. Adults? None that I know of but I'm not in a relationship so who am I supposed to make cry? My roommate?
How many times have you read your most read book?
Also I've never punched anyone in the face.

hard to say on that one...its been so many years since ive listened to an album in its entirety. and even back when I had records, id often hop from one to another just playing particular songs. although I do have a memory of listening to aerosmiths' toys in the attic over and over during high school when I was having to read ethan frome all in one day. don't even know if I have a favorite album I like so many kinds of music...although Fleetwood mac's rumours, and the eagles hotel California and styx's grand illusion are up there. oh heck---and sgt pepper too...oh and abbey road for sure...maybe dark side of the moon too...laughs...
maybe in the 5-15 range. but heck, just these past few weeks ive listened to a small handful of songs dozens of times.
