48. Only my hairdresser knows what color my hair really is.
49. I never watched Friends, 90210 or Melrose Place. When I heard women I worked with at the time discussing these shows, I was confused since we had worked together several years and had never heard these people mentioned before. And they did discuss them as if they were real people.
50. I have never watched soaps.
