9. you know what they say about dancing, right?
"Dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal obsession".

So, needless to say, I don't dance.

12. I left it out because I'm reading "A Void", by Perec:
"The author is the late Georges Perec, who in 1969 took up the challenge of producing an entire novel without once using the letter "e." Such writings are called lipograms, from a Greek verb meaning "omit," and indeed the form dates from classical Greece. The modern revival of lipograms owes much to a group of Parisian experimentalist writers known as OuLiPo. Perec, Italo Calvino, Raymond Queneau and others devoted themselves to all kinds of elaborately artificial compositional devices.

Why would writers restrict themselves so outlandishly, doing in French without "le" and "je" (and in English without "the" and "me")? Partly, it is a game, of course, and much of the pleasure to be found in Perec's work comes from appreciating his wit and ingenuity. In addition, Perec maintains in his "Postscript" that the constraint was "not a handicap, not a constriction, but, all in all, a spur to my imagination."
