30 probably highly irrelevant things about me - personality traits, quirks, habits, some trivia...things you probably won't give a shit about unless you want to know me or something but do read it anyway if you feel like it.

• I'm studying to be a planning assistant (yes, studying to become an assistant) -- despite the title the job description doesn't actually include planning anything. Basically I draw houses.
• I am severely allergic to birch. Lots of people are a little, but like really.
• I have slight obsessive-compulsive tendencies and I can't stand people scratching their skin or clothes or anything anywhere near me (the (sometimes imagined) sound of it makes me ridiculously anxious and repulsed).
• I have basically always been obsessed with something: even when I was little I went from dogs to horses to fantasy books, to I guess tv shows and things related to that.
• My obsession with dogs came from the fact that my favorite things to watch throughout my childhood were the Silver Fang cassettes.
• I had tons of stuffed animals, and every single dog that even slightly resembled the grey-and-white colored spitz type was named after Silver Fang. There were about 5 of those, plus one german shepherd that had to be named it too just because it was my favorite.
• I love typewriters and I want one (not that I'd know how to idk take care of it, but). I also really want a polaroid camera.
• When I'm writing lyrics, if I can't finish them right away they will most likely never be finished. Also, after I have finished one I can't make any big changes to it anymore until like a year or two later.
• I pace around a lot, especially when I'm on the phone or nervous.
• I can recite all 50 states in an alphabetical order (FYI: I'm not American nor do I have any kind of connection to the country that would require me to know them) and I'm thinking of trying to learn all the capitals & biggest cities too 'cause I only know about 10 of them.
• The biggest (and probably best) decision I've ever made was moving 3 hours away from home (to a dorm) to study even though I could've studied the exact same thing in my hometown. As a result, I've never loved home as much as I do now.
• I'm a loner -- and I'm not just saying that, but for real. I prefer doing most things by myself and I have trouble making and especially keeping friends, because even if things start out good I spend so much time alone that we drift apart.
• In the last few years I've overcome a lot of social anxiety - a few years back I couldn't go shopping or run errands alone, now I prefer it (still not in my hometown though, too many familiar faces). I still have a lot of these though, for example I am absolutely terrified of making calls, especially if they're official ones.
• I swear too much and I know it, but I hate people pointing it out to me. And if I hear one more person say how I shouldn't swear because "it doesn't sound pretty from a girl's mouth" I'm gonna punch them in the face.
• In general unequal standards for men and women and their behavior make me see red. I may even get oversensitive but I have zero tolerance, people saying women shouldn't do this and that makes me furious. Of course it works the other way around too, but for obvious reasons it's not as personal for me.
• I'm an avoider. I dread confrontation and deal with problems by ignoring them.
• I'm a materialist to the bone. At the moment I get special kind of joy from buying books; before that it was DVDs and before that, CDs. Wonder what's next?
• I have a (really annoying) compulsive need to always be right.
• I enjoy bickering and consequently I'm always picking fights - but if the other person gets angry for real I get scared as hell.
• I always try to not raise any expectations because I'm terrified of disappointing people.
• I don't like vanilla ice cream.
• I have a short attention span and I'm easily distracted.
• People (well, adults) assume that when I don't do something that's been forbidden or is illegal, it's a morality thing, when actually it has absolutely nothing to do with that. I'm just really scared of consequences.
• I like to listen to instrumental music when I'm reading (mostly piano & possibly violin music because it's really pretty) - it drowns out distracting noises, but it has to be instrumental 'cause if there's lyrics I can't focus on reading 'cause I always end up listening to the words.
• I hate cleaning but I love organizing, and I get sudden urges to start big clean-up projects (usually in the middle of the night).
• Unlike many people, I absolutely hate pointing out people's mistakes - I don't like making them feel uncomfortable and I'm scared they'll take it personally.
• I never used to care much for candles, but in the last year I've grown to love them.
• I hate having to learn stuff but I love knowing it - for example, physics. I absolutely hated the subject at school but now, there aren't too many things more satisfying than being able to explain certain things 'cause I learned them in physics class.
• In general, when I know something well (which isn't often, that I think is a part of it), I can be a bit of a...well, an insufferable know-it-all. Sometimes.
• I love the smell of clean towels. I think that's a good thing to leave for the last spot.
