One question I hear more than any other is What's a Fuzzball??" Allow me to explain:
A Fuzzball is a 30-year-old fallen debutante who lives in Houston, TX with a bossy dog and an even bossier parrot who she SWEARS is the reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
A Fuzzball prefers animals to most people, because people can really suck sometimes.
A Fuzzball loves music, ALL music ALL of the time. If she's not listening to it, then she's singing it.
A Fuzzball has a mad love for all things British, especially their actors.
A Fuzzball is blissfully happy in a bookstore, preferably one with good music playing in the background. If you look under a Fuzzball's bed you'll usually find an entire library of books that she has dropped there after falling asleep reading.
Fuzzballs are usually incurable romantics, ridiculously optimistic, and bent on making the world a happier place.
Your typical Fuzzball will probably have a completely bizarre sense of humor. Just go with it, it will take you to funny places.
You should also be aware that Fuzzballs are giant nerds. Seriously. Science fiction, computers, the whole shebang.
Fuzzballs are also budding photographers. They love looking at the world through a lens and finding new ways to be creative.
Oh...and you can also look for a Fuzzball in one of the best movies ever made. ;)
I had one of my readers recommend that John Cusack piece to me. I thought it was pretty funny stuff, too. :)

Nice piece on John Cusack. Jake from 16 Candles has done the same number on many Gen X women. So much so that the actor has been in hiding for several years. See the Washington Post article from 2004: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A41194-2004Feb13?language=printer
