ON GOOSEBUMPS:

As I may have mentioned previously, I am an emotional person. I tend to mist up at emotional points in movies (near the end of Titanic, near the end of Armageddon, when I learned that people actually went to see "Meet the Spartans") and try to control it. But I also get goosebumps at the right times - not necessarily "scared" goosebumps, but nostalgic goosebumps.

Below, in no particular order, are some things that give me goosebumps:

SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS - Devin Hester running back that punt against the Cardinals on Monday night? Check. John Paxson hitting the game-winner against the Suns in '93? Check. The Chris Jericho-Shawn Michaels match at Wrestlemania? Yup.

PLACES - Having a window seat while flying into Chicago. When I lived in Arkansas, getting off the highway nearest the University. Even coming over a hill on my way to Peoria (while blasting Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta") did it for me.

GIRLS BLOWING ON MY NECK - This will happen for me one day.
