More About Me Than You Ever Needed to Know.
The following is a list I pulled (and modified as per the specifications) from my friend Anna's blog. She is an amazing woman with a wonderful view of the world. You should check her out at this website: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/dexx4d/anna22/
Her blog is both poignant and humorous.
She is an engaging personality.
So, to make this crystal clear, this is my list of my personality traits and viewpoint, not Anna's. But go check out her blog already!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Copy this whole list into your journal.
2. Star the things that you have in common with me.
3. Whatever you don't star, replace with things about you. (unless you don't have that much time on your hands)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01. I am short. I have chin length hair. I sometimes wear glasses. I am vegan.
02. I love burning scented [vegan] candles, but I don't collect them. *
03. I haven't had access to a t.v. that gets any channels for over 2 years. I don't miss it. *
04. I don't believe in God. I wish I did. I envy those with faith. *
05. I actually know how to write an essay and get one hundred percent.
06. Closed-minded people make me very sad. *
07. I talk to myself... and answer back. *
08. I listen to way too much coldplay for someone who claims to be a punk rocker.
09. I have no pets and miss my parent's dogs (and sometimes the bird.).
10. My mind boggles at the idea of people wanting to be exactly the same. Why? I know its the source of a lot of strife, but nothing would be half so interesting if we were all the same.
11. I love getting things in the mail. *
12. I'm on this computer a lot less than I used to be.
13. I have a confusing idea of how the world works... I would like for us to run around in flowered garlands and steeped in idealism.
14. I am afraid I'm going to die before I have the chance to really live.
15. Sleep is something I would do without if I could, but my body won't let me!
16. I miss Taz. I often wonder where she went.
17. I leave rambling and nonsensical answering machine messages (in a bad kind of way.).
18. I suffer from being too nice, and simultaneously too arrogant. In some way that's proabably how I balance myself out.
19. I thought that finding true love was out of the question. Then Jason "Crash" Morton walked into my life.
20. I can type pretty damn fast. *
21. I love stuffed animals [especially my stuffed stitch.]. *
22. I wish I could buy more things for the people I love. *
23. I often talk to people feeling vaguely frantic, like every word that comes out of my mouth should be entertaining.
24. I am obsessed with many small, stupid things. I think that's part of being an obssessive compulsive personality.
25. I show I care about people in the worst way possible - I get angry with them. This is often misinterpreted wildly. *
26. I love photos. *
27. I want to help people. *
28. I'm perfectly content being slightly out of synch with everyone else. Most days...
29. I love wearing a skirt. * I also love wearing nylons!
30. I don't do my laundry often enough. *
31. I often contemplate the difference being moral, good, and right. * Hence my depressive tendencies.
32. I should be more fit and healthy. (My body lately has felt very tired and sore.) *
33. I procrastinate. A LOT. *
34. There exist pictures of me naked, and only as a child.
35. I am a hypocrite. * As idealistic as I am, I realise hyprocrisy exists in everyone, including myself.
36. I finally grew up enough to be friends with my parents. I think this is the best thing that ever happened to me. *
37. I wish my life was simple and without clutter.
38. I'm overly emotional. * The strangest things can bring me to the verge of tears, including a certain swell in a song, even if two minutes ago I was so happy I was practically bouncing off the walls.
39. I find that many things make me want to scream. It's when I step back and look at how they really affect things that I realise I'm being a child.
40. I took a three-hour trip (one way) to Calgary just to do something out of my routine.
41. I'm afraid of many things... most of them human folly.
42. My favorite flowers are sunflowers.
43. I'm right-handed. *
44. I love to dance, and would happily dance every night. * My only wish is that I could dance less sluttily.
45. I have learned to appreciate silence. *
46. I have two pet peeves: People who automatically assume I'm a militant bitch when I tell them I'm vegan and people who automatically assume I'm a militant bitch when I tell them I'm an environmentalist.
47. I wish I was better at keeping in touch with my friends. *
48. I came through an abusive relationship to realise that people aren't worth knowing if they can't accept you for being who you are. True friends and lovers should not demand that you change your lifestyle or physical appearance for them.
49. I don't want to feel like I'm in limbo forever.
50. I miss college. I wish I had not felt it necessary to change my direction because my ex boyfriend wanted me to.
51. I judge the majority of movies far too harshly according to the general public. I'm still mad about Chronicles of Riddick, what a rip-off! Ooh... and don't even get me started on Van Helsing...
52. I often forget that just because I love someone, it doesn't mean everyone else will. *
53. I think that good friends are the ones you can always go back to. No matter what. *
54. I want to be in school again.
55. I do care what I'm wearing more than I'd like to admit.
56. Given the choice, I'd rather be laughing. *
57. Christmas is just a day. * Imagine what it would be like if we took the principles of brotherly love and sharing and applied them to every day.
58. I wish I was brave enough to show off my writing. *
59. I like when my friends write me letters, it makes me feel special. * (And postcards.)
60. I have so many goals for my future, I'm worried I won't fulfill them all. *
61. I hate unncessary violence. *
62. I used to think I'd try anything twice. I've limited that. *
63. The odd and the eccentric are attractive/attracted to me. *
64. I love taking walks by the river.
65. The rain is beautiful. * (So is snow.)
66. I get hurt too often. *

69. Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever be able to ignore the phone.
70. I have a hard time sleeping when Crash is not around.
71. I'm a geek and proud of it. *
72. I'm once knew that I was going to be a writer. Now I don't know what I'm going to be.
73. I do care too much about who my friends are sleeping with sometimes... I know too many people (myself included) who have been used and abused. Even though I care... I still can't be sympathetic if they come into my room at 11:30 while I'm half asleep and start crying because they got hurt. ... God, I'm such a bitch sometimes.
74. I wish I sent more postcards out... I wish I knew who I could send them to.
75. I love being cared about. *
76. I love to sing. *
77. I love little kids. *
78. I am old enough to get into bars almost everywhere... I still can't get into bars in Cairo - I'd need to be 25 for that.
79. My dreams are vivid, in colour, and often confuse me when I wake up. * All I can say is this: destruco-robots that somehow turned into evil genius dinosaurs.
80. I wish I could express my thoughts, ideas, and stories better in words. * Sometimes I act a little too much like a monkey on ritalin.
81. I miss ooey gooey cheesey cheese sometimes. Until I remember how my body will react if I have it.
82. I often forget that people can take care of themselves. *
83. I love crayons. Especially brand new ones. *
84. I need to get out more.
85. I am worried that I might never get out of this place.
86. Talk to me. I want to know your thoughts. *
87. I miss not having to clean up after everyone.
88. I need more cuddles. * Everyone needs more cuddles!
89. I'm an attention whore. It sucks because I do it without even realising or trying to.
90. Homophobes suck. *
91. I regret the missed opportunities in university. I wish I could go back and redo it with my friends from back then. *
92. I am a packrat.*
93. I am the quintessential Sagittarius. I am way more outspoken than I mean to be sometimes. Also, see number 89.
94. I miss the sun when it's cloudy. Sometimes I just need to bask.
95. I could not keep my jewellery if I tried. I lose it so very easily.
96. I'm not always easy to amuse. This concerns me sometimes.
97. The world is a small place. Enjoy it while you can. *
98. I am sick of feeling so out of the loop sometimes. I wish I wasn't so shy.
99. I miss feeling certain of my future.
100. You make your own family.*
