I also blame my dad

Okay, so it's dad's turn to be accused of making me the way I am (I have also added a few things to the mom list from yesterday that have occurred to us since making the list):
  1. My face - not only do I have facial features that resemble my dad's (brown eyes, prominent nose, sizeable mouth), but I've also inherited his ability to make facial expressions ranging from the goofy to the grotesque when the need arises
  2. My height - dad's 6'1", mom's 5'4" or so, and I'm 5'9"
  3. I have large feet, so does dad
  4. My tendency toward somewhat violent affection - dad sometimes squeezes mom lovingly, to the point of a painful exclamation from mom...I occasionally inadvertently inflict pain on Mark in my earnestness as well
  5. I have a bizarre sense of humor, dad is also strange
  6. I'm a compulsive and quick eater, and I have a serious sweet tooth - dad seems to inhale whatever is put in front of him, and I share his love for chocolate
  7. I love music - dad's a guitar player and has been throughout my life
  8. I'm good at math and technical stuff - dad's an engineering designer, I'm a statistics geek
  9. I hate exercise - as dad says, this is "because it sucks", although we both concede that it can be helpful in counteracting our compulsive eating habits
  10. I'm a procrastinator - we both put off the inevitable as much as possible
