As promised to Akira, here is a list of semi-interesting things about me:

1) I collect books. If I let someone borrow a book, I can't stand not getting it back. The same goes for CDs and movies as well.
2) I hate Bill Cosby. It's something about how he enunciates.
3) I can't go to bed until my room is clean, except for extenuating circumstances of severe exhaustion.
4) I have a difficult time throwing old clothes away. I still have underwear that's probably 3 years old.
5) I cannot sleep if my computer is on, or if there is a TV on in my general vicinity (especially not in the same room).
6) I can knit and crochet, although so far, I've only made scarves.
7) If I am full after a meal, I feel guilty that I ate too much, or that it was bad for me. Even if I'm full on salad. This has something to do with my mother.
8) I would rather wash dishes immediately after they're dirtied than have them sit in a dishwasher for a few days before there are enough to do a load so I don't have to get my hands dirty.
9) I love pretty much anything lemon flavored.
10) My favorite color is orange. My favorite number is 6.
11) I have seen my favorite band, matchbox twenty, 10 times in concert and have met all the members. I've loved them since before they were big, so don't laugh at me.
12) I love concerts (duh). But it's weird because I look forward to them so much, but once I'm finally there I get tired and bored of standing in the same spot, so I usually just want to leave.
13) When I'm reading a book, sometimes I skip days of reading just so I can savor it for that much longer.
14) I can't stand knowing that anyone is having sex near me.
15) I procrastinate to dangerous extents.
16) I am easily entertained with trivial things such as coloring, knitting, solving puzzles, etc. I revel in busy work.
16a) I have a problem with idle hands. I am one of the most restless people I know.
17) I am actually able to ignore people I dislike. And if someone I dislike could benefit me somehow, I usually don't try to kiss their ass to get what I need. I'll find another way to get it.
17a) I have a problem with people who try to take the easy way in life and use other people to their benefit. Be independent, forge your own way. If something difficult should cross your path, problem solve to get yourself around it, don't ask for help right away.
18) Up until recently, I had always been the heart-broken. I never thought I could be the one to let go first.
19) I like to write funny things people say down in a solid place so as to be able to look at it later in life. It has something to do with my need to remember what has happened. I have a difficult time letting go of things and people, and this ties into a lot of aspects of my life. I can never seem to let go.
20) I have lost roughly 35 lbs. since high school. I used to be a fat, antisocial, analytical hermit. Now I'm chubby and I'm a good balance between a hermit and outgoing.
21) I love LOVE LOVE being surprised.
22) I love water.

There is certainly more, but I am empty for now. Tell me something interesting that you have observed about me. Or, a few things, if need be

update: i've finally decided. you guys have 4 more days with me. i'm canceling my account.
