LOL THIS IS SO DATED

• for some reason, whenever I talk, I always tilt my head slightly downwards. I try to stop, because I think it makes my head look huge, but it's a hard habit to break...
• I really hate when people make grammatical mistakes like "try and" or "me and him," but I also feel like a hypocrite because I'm sure I make tons of them without knowing.
• My nails grow really, really fast, but my hair never grows.
• I LOVE brushing my teeth. Sometimes I brush my teeth twice in the morning, just because I like knowing that they're clean.
• I think about potential photographs that I could take pretty much all the time, but rarely do I ever execute my ideas, and sometimes that makes me upset.
• I have a hard time communicating with my parents, more than other people, I think. I really worry that my own kids will never be able to talk to me properly, because I have so much trouble talking to my parents.
• Despite this, both of my parents had pretty screwed up childhoods, so I'm grateful that I was raised in an environment that was essentially happy and healthy.
• Sometimes I feel as if I'm an inherently mean person, and I have to work to hide that part of myself. Sometimes, I enjoy being mean, and I don't always like being nice. I feel incredibly guilty every time I realize that.
• I hated my elementary school years. Recently, I realized just how awful they were.
• I'm always more inspired and productive when it's late at night, i.e. right now.
• I used to be so painfully shy and awkward, and I really think I've come a long way since then. I want people to appreciate this.
• I hate to think that I'm seen as just one thing. I feel like so many people think of me as "smart" and nothing else, while others think of me as just funny, and don't realize that sometimes I can be unhappy and not funny.
• I have trouble talking about things that I actually want to talk about. I never know how to bring up subjects without being obvious/awkward.
• Sometimes I'm not actually sure if I'm smart or not. I used to think I got such good grades, but now, especially that I'm applying to college, I'm not so sure that I'm as dedicated a student as I once thought.
• I don't like having regrets, and I'm proud of the fact that I've managed to rid myself of most of the regrets I used to have.
• Sad or emotional stories about parents and their children always, always make me cry. I think it's because I dont always have the best relationship with my own parents, it's a particularly tender subject for me.
• I like to believe that things happen for a reason, and I think adopting that belief is what allowed me to let go of my regrets and be happy with the way I've lived my life and that I look the way that I do, etc. In general, letting myself believe this has given me peace of mind.
• Religion makes me uncomfortable. I don't know how to translate my own spiritual beliefs into words, but I know that I'm not into any of the three major faiths. I wouldnt say this to anyone because I guess it's pretty offensive, but I actually think that religion is completely absurd, and was created simply to make humans feel better about themselves and their purpose.
• I'm terrible at letting people know how I feel about them. Not just in a romantic way, but sometimes even just friends that I really value -- I have trouble expressing that.
• Speaking of friends, I really do have the three best friends that I could ever imagine. I know it's a cliché thing to say, but my parents and the parents of my friends have both commented on how strong our friendship is, and how they never had friends like that in high school. Even if we do drift apart in our adult lives, I feel that if I ever needed them, they would still be there.
• I love baking desserts, and I'm pretty awesome at it, if I do say so myself.
• Sometimes I feel as if I live vicariously through characters in books.
• There are certain things that I think about every day without even realizing it - for example, Tracy Cintolo, and Prom 2010.
• I LOVE DANCING. I don't really care if I'm good or not, I'm over that. I want to dance more.
• I don't think I'll ever see the appeal of alcohol.
