Stolen from my/the wizard; =septemberbreeze (Jude).

Ten things I wish I could say to people:

1. If you knew how much you were valued, how much you were worth, you would understand. Learn to love yourself first.

2. Here's a clue: The reason they look like they want to choke you as you are texting in front of them is... they actually do.

3. Yes, I happen to be Catholic. Despite the assumption that the evil-judging kind exists, I am not one of them. Nor have I met more than a handful who actually ARE. And, guess what? Most of the time, they get judged for being Catholic before the thought even enters their mind to judge anyone else. So, bugger off, will you?

4. You don't have to be a minority to respect them. For that matter, you don't have to be a christian either.

5. "Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." -Elie Wiesel, writer, Nobel laureate (b. 1928)

6. If they are a dick now, they will still be a dick when you are dating them. If she was a b**** to her last boyfriend, chances are she's not going to make an exception for you.

7. The best TV shows and movies are based off books. Try picking one up every once and a while. And reading it.

8. There is an entire WORLD outside of your town. Literally. A UNIVERSE, even.

9. "Fuck" should not be used as an adjective, adverb, noun... Or at all, really. That'd be nice too.

10. Do you realize that there is an I-refuse-to-"confine"-myself-to-a-group group?

Nine things about myself:

1. I'm the coolest geek you'll ever meet.

2. I hate few things more than feeling my brain cells die a slow and painful death.

3. I LOVE to write. Almost as much as I love to read. Yes, I am a nerd. And PROUD of it.

4. Um, I'm not so much into the whole hugging/touching thing. But it isn't because you aren't my friend. It just takes time.

5. I don't do drugs. I never will.

6. I want someone I shouldn't.

7. I have named almost all of my pets after food... There's something wrong with that.

8. "If you piss me off, I will write a story about a character(based on you) who dies painfully." -Max. (He has the best quotes)

9. I'm lonely.

Eight ways to win my heart:

1. Talk about books,religion, or newspaper. I will love you forever.

2. Speak French to me. But only if you are better than I am.

3. Keep your promises.

4. Say my name when you say goodbye.

5. Write something about me. Or just for me.

6. Do the little things. Pick up what I drop, pull out chairs, hold the door.

7. Act as though we are best friends. Even if we just met.

8.Tell me when I hurt you. Even if I don't agree, at least I'll know.

Seven things that cross my mind a lot:

1. I'm so happy to be alive.
2. I like me. There's no one else I'd rather be.
3. I wonder who's free today.
4. Bored.
5. Good book.
6. I wish I had something better to write about
7. I'm going to miss them.

Six things I do before I fall asleep:

1. Read.
2. Pray.
3. Think of my latest crush. Pathetic, I know.
4. Try to push my cat off the bed before he pries me off instead.
5. roll over and move my clock to face the wall
6. rub my feet together. I'm not entirely sure why.

Five places I want to visit:

1. France
2. Poland
3. Czech Republic
4. Egypt
5. Japan

Four things I'm wearing right now:

1. My watch
2. my jeans-->shorts
3. dingy white (or used to be) cami
4. underwear

Three bands that I listen to often:

1. Tracy Bonham
2. K.T. Tunstall
3. Mixed CDs (Okay, not actually a band, per se, but it would be a really awesome name for one, don't you think?)

Two things I want to do before I die:
*I'm going to have to steal this one from Max

1. Be inspired to greatness
2. Return the favor.

One confession:

1. I rey far too much on the praise of others.

I hope you will do this as well, so I can learn more about who you are. If you do take this, be sure to put;
