here are some things about me that perhaps you don't know! maybe you do know some of these things.
- i have eating guilt. i feel like i have to justify my meals, and i'm really bad about making things richer and fattier than they need to be - i take after my father in this way.
- i'm a total teacher's pet in school and always have been. i ALWAYS have my hand up, i always have something to say.
- i also dominate conversations. i have to remind myself to let other people get a word in.
- my favourite meal of the day is breakfast. i make a KILLER tofu scramble.
- i am a crush junkie. i get depressed if i don't have someone to crush on.
- i used to always be slightly late for work and got up as late as i possibly could. now that i'm going to school i'm almost always up early and at school half an hour to an hour earlier than i need to be. and my classes start earlier than work did, for the most part.
- i have rules about the length of my clothing and how much skin is shown. i can't wear skirts that are mid-thigh in length. it's either just below the knee or super-mini. those are the only lengths i will allow. similarly with shorts.
- i like to think that i have no addictions. except to romance.
- i don't speak any languages other than english (and html/css). i can understand some french, especially written, just from growing up in canada... (and i can read php too... but that doesn't count). this bothers me, but not enough for me to pursue language learning.
- i've never been east of saskatchewan, though people seem to consider me well-traveled.
- i'm extremely observant. i seem to notice things that most other people don't. this is part of why i'm so good at learning new cities, remembering directions, getting places, all that jazz.
- i'm also really good at remembering strings of numbers accurately having heard or read them once. if i want to guarantee accuracy, i write them down - addresses and phone numbers - but i don't bring the piece of paper with me. the act of writing it down is enough to remember it.
- i test well.
- i test so well that in seventh grade, when we took aptitude tests, my parents were called in to the school so that my teacher could tell them that i got extraordinary scores. my parents, though advised not to, told me this, and it fed my ego for YEARS. still does, probably.
- i had a habit, for a long time, of dating people more intellectual/intelligent/well-read than myself. this made me feel stupid. i really like being "the smart one" in my partnerships - otherwise i feel like there's something wrong with me. similarly, i also like being "the socially conscious one". this is probably a character flaw.
- i journal a lot, and mostly online, in many different places.
- my fucking wisdom teeth hurt like a bitch. there's room for them, but there's tissue growing over them that is the BANE of my EXISTENCE. i'm getting them taken out this afternoon.
- my oldest friend in the world is a girl i met in a sailormoon chat room when i was twelve. her handle was lita organa. (i was amigirl^_~.) i knew immediately that we were soulmates. now, we live in the same city and go for coffee dates. our lives are completely different.
- in my group of friends i feel comfortable and normal. when i am with people who are not my kin, i feel kind of like a big weirdo. i do love it.
okay, tell me something about you. pick something REALLY interesting!

I was born in the worst snowstorm Michigan had seen.It snowed 3ft just in the couple hours I decided to come out. It was the snowiest November they've ever had
as for something REALLY interesting about me? I've had the same best friend since toddler age - I've known him since before my long-term memory developed. Therefore, i've known him forever. And as such, he is closer to me than anyone in the world, even though we're on totally different lifepaths at this point. And while i'm not religious, I often find myself thinking that he was my guardian angel, sent by some higher power to take care of me through all the personal issues i had as a young man. Had he not been around, I can honestly say I would have felt so lost and very likely have committed suicide as a teenager. While I also don't believe in marriage really, he would undoubtedly be my best man - even if I hadn't seen or spoken to him for 10 years.
