Favorite song to skate to: Still have yet to skate to it, but when I do I'll let you know. Probably anything by France Gall, Bessie Smith or The Kinks.

Turn ons: Natural smells, hugs, glasses, teeth brushing, sideburns of any size, old movies and Asian cinema.

Turn offs: MSG, high fructose corn syrup, the sound of animals licking themselves, stinky feet and perfection.

What do your family and friends think of derby? I think they are down. They listen to me when I talk about it, at least I think they are listening.
