Still, only one of the right answers has been guessed.
Additional hint: It is raining and for some reason, that often seems to cause lots of little millipedes to start making their way into my old house. Pretty gross.

1. I once counted all the word balloons that each character had in v.4 of Legion of Super-Heroes - 5 Years Later. (Ultra Boy had the most!) 2. I can name every episode ever of Doctor Who, as well as each writer and each director 3. I once scripted my own audio version of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (and 1 1/2 of the sequels) for me and a friend to record. 4. I once caused a fire in my house when I turned on the wrong stove burner (instead of boiling water, I lit some papers on fire that we foolishly had sitting on the stove instead) 5. I am halfway through reading Volume I of Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus - and I am very impressed 6. I have celebrated my birthday in nine different nations 7. My children have passports for three different countries 8. I recently finished editing Episode 50 of an audio series I've been working on since 1994 9. I once watched "Duck Soup", "Blue Velvet" and "A Clockwork Orange" as part of an all night movie marathon 10. I am slowly working my way through the "New Krypton" storyline in Trade Paperbacks. I have five books to go. 11. Over the years, birthday celebrations have included taking a helicopter ride, being part of a scavenger hunt downtown while dressed up as superheros, and having a big "Batman" party 12. It's raining outside, so I'm a bit concerned my house will soon be infested with millipedes

Well, now all the answers have been guessed, so now both correct answers have been guessed. But not in combination with each other.
Here's another hint: I really did count all the word balloons each character had in the "5 Years Later" Legion. I also did this for the Baxter run, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Legion Lost, and for the first number of years of post-crisis Superman. Does that sound as crazy as I think it does? I'm pretty sure it turned out to be Jo Nah who had the most in the mentioned Legion run, though I believe Braniac 5 might have been close behind him.

It's true that I can pretty much name every episode of Doctor Who, but I could only manage a handful of writers and directors - not even close to all of them.
And I've only celebrated my birthday (which has just passed) in the USA (first 25), Canada (#26), and Australia (ever since then).

Belated happy birthday, Xben. How was your birthday this year?
Would be fun to spend every birthday in a different country, but I think there's also something special about spending it with valued family and friends.
Let's see...
Which 2 of these songs aren't on my favorites list?
a) Black Balloon, Goo Goo Dolls b) Hold Me, Savage Garden c) Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Green Day d) Our Lives, The Calling e) Sandalan, 6 Cycle Mind f) Another Day, Rent soundtrack g) If You're Gone, Matchbox 20 h) Michelle Branch, All You Wanted i) Don't Stop Believin', Glee Cast j) Pare Ko, The Eraserheads k) Raise Your Glass, Pink l) Bon Jovi, Have A Nice Day m) You're A God, Vertical Horizon n)Double Vision, 3OH!3

I'm so out of touch with music these days I'll go with the two songs I recognize:
g) If You're Gone, Matchbox 20
i) Don't Stop Believin', Glee Cast
[I'm assuming this is a cover of the Journey song.]
