(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

✓ I miss somebody right now.  (I miss a lot of people. I don't usually think of it as missing, but just this made me realize that yeah, in a way, I do. I wish more of the people I love lived here, or close. I love my parents and my best friend to death, but they're not my only family/best friends.)	✓ I don't watch much TV these days.  (I can't just sit and watch a tv show alone. Plus, not a lot really interests me.)	✓ I own lots of books.  (Of course!)
✓ I wear glasses or contact lenses.	× I love to play video games.	× I've tried marijuana.
× I've watched porn movies.  (I did accidentally see part of one, but that was my friend's fault. She clicked the wrong channel. It was actually really funny, because she went "oh, I have to show you this tv show I LOVE", clicked, and... oops. Remote control typo gone very wrong.)	× I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship.	✓ I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
✓ I curse sometimes.  (Some people would be surprised, but given me a reason, and I can let out serious frusturation. I've said words I didn't even know I knew! ;))	✓ I have changed a lot mentally over the last year.  (I think we all do change in a year, more than we even realize.)	× I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.

( it goes on... )

* * * * *

× I have broken someone's bones.	✓ I have a secret that I am ashamed to reveal.  (A few of them.)	✓ I hate the rain.  (Though I understand it has to rain so there won't be a drought. I'm just not as cheerful or motivated when it's cloudy outside.)
✓ I'm paranoid at times.  (Unfortunately.)	× I would get plastic surgery if it were 100% safe, free of cost, and scar-free.	× I need/want money right now.
× I love sushi.	✓ I talk really, really fast.  (IhaveatendencytotalkreallyreallyfastwhenI'mexcitedoranxiousorjusttryingtogetapointacross.)	× I have fresh breath in the morning.
✓ I have long hair.	× I have lost money in Las Vegas.	× I have at least one sibling.  (I sometimes thinkI should've. That she - or maybe he - died before anyone realized Mom was pregnant, and that's why she doesn't know, because I've asked her from my very early years what happened to "the other one." But there's always that possibility that it's all in my head... I hope not, though. And then I feel selfish because it's like I hoped a baby died, even though it's not like that. I'd really rather think that it was another life that I had a twin, and she got a chance to grow. I)
× I was born in a country outside of the U.S.  (No, but I've lived in two different countries (Belgium and Canada).)	× I have worn fake hair/fingernails/eyelashes in the past.	× I couldn't survive without Caller I.D.
× I like the way that I look.  (I like some things about my features and dislike other things. I wish I didn't sometimes look twelve years old to some people - not that being twelve is bad, but wen you're at a restauraunt and are talked to like you are, it's a pain - and I really don't like my smile, but I mean, there are things I do like. *Shrugs* I think everyone has negative and positive attributes lookwise.)	× I have lied to a good friend in the last 6 months.  (I dunno. A friend of mine has a "friend" who has, for the duration of their "friendship", shown signs of not really caring that much. My friend was trying to suggest we all hang out, and I couldn't even get her to understand that she's cancelled all our plans, so I sat back and pretended to accept the claim that "well she's busy." There's things I know that I shouldn't know about the girl, though, like that her parents saw her out with friends after she cancelled plans with my friend. Her Mom told my Mom, and I'm not sure my Mom was supposed to tell me. Is that lying? I don't know.)	× I am usually pessimistic.  (I can be paranoid and cynical, sure, but pessimistic... I have my moments, yeah, but even I try and look on the bright side.)
× I have a lot of mood swings.  (I used to have them, in various phases throughout my life. I once found notes between my Mom and my Kindergarten teacher discussing my tendency to "burst into tears", and in my early teens I got upset really easily. It also "came back" in my late teens. I'm always cautious of it... I'd hate for it to turn into something more serious (and believe me, there were many times where it probably would have if it weren't for my supportive parents and teachers). So I let people tell me if I'm overreacting. Which they do. ;))	× I think prostitution should be legalized.	× I slept with a roommate.
× I have a hidden talent.  (I dunno about hidden. I used to think I could sing, but I can't sing that well.)	× I'm always hyper no matter how much sugar I have.	✓ I have a lot of friends.  (But not in proximity to me. I've never met most of my close friends to their faces in my life.)
× I have pecked someone of the same sex.	✓ I enjoy talking on the phone.   (But not when there's an alternative, like seeing them face to face. But in some cases, I actually prefer it to IM.)	× I practically live in sweatpants or PJ pants.  (Sort of. When I'm not doing anything, yeah, I'll wear them, but mostly in the fall and winter.)
× I love to shop and/or window shop.	✓ I'm obsessed with my Xanga or Livejournal.	× I'm completely embarrassed to be seen with my mother.  (Not normally - I mean, maybe on a date or something, but I've outgrown the "I can't be seen going to the movies with my PARENTS!" phase.)
✓ I have a mobile phone.  (Actually, I don't, I have a *cell* phone. ;) (Does anyone call them mobile phones anymore?))	× I have passed out drunk in the past 6 months.	✓ I've rejected someone before.  (A few. The one time, it was completely accidental... wrong choice of words and all that jazz. We had a Ron/Hermione type of "friendship", and I made a joke that implied I didn't have a crush, even though I hadn't meant to imply that. The other guy... he did/said things I didn't approve of. I was actually told "you could change him", but I have a cousin who had a boyfriend she probably thought she could change, and he ended up being verbally and mildly physically abusive. Not that I think this guy necessarily would've, but I'm just saying. And this other guy... I don't know if I rejected him, but I think he had a crush on me. He liked emotional blackmail too much for my liking... he talked about me behind my back, and would talk about people to me behind their backs, and it just got to the point where I couldn't handle it. Looking back, it sort of stinks.)
× I currently like/love someone.	× I have no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life.  (Um... I'm twenty one, I've got time. This isn't the 1940's, where I ought to be raising five kids by now. I have some idea, but I'm taking my time. (Though sometimes I do feel nervous.))	× I want to have children in the future.  (Undecided. I usually don't, but sometimes... I wish I had them.)
× I have changed a diaper before.  (Not for a real baby, but I have helped changed a diaper for a real baby.)	× I've called the cops on a friend before.	× I'm not allergic to anything.
✓ I have a lot to learn.  (Who doesn't?)	× I am shy around the opposite sex.  (Sometimes I am.)	× I'm online 24/7, even as an away message.
× I have at least 5 away messages saved.	× I have tried alcohol or drugs before.  (Alcohol, but only a bit of it on my 21st.)	× I have made a move on a friend's significant other or crush in the past.  (No. The one)
× I own the "South Park" movie.	× I have avoided assignments at work/school to be on Xanga or Livejournal.	✓ I enjoy some country music.  (I don't see why there's this bias against it.)
✓ I would die for my best friends.  (Absolutely.)	× I'm obsessive, and often a perfectionist.  (Obsessive, yes. Perfectionist, no.)	× I have used my sexuality to advance my career.
× I think Halloween is awesome because you get free candy.	× I have dated a close friend's ex.	✓ I am happy at this moment.  (Sure. :))

✓ I study for tests most of the time.	× I tie my shoelaces differently from anyone I've ever met.	× I can work on a car.
✓ I love my job(s).  (I work at a learning center, where we help kids (and adults on occasion) learn. It's rewarding.)	× I am comfortable with who I am right now.  (Meh.)	× I have more than just my ears pierced.
× I walk barefoot wherever I can.	× I have jumped off a bridge.  (...would I be sitting here typing this??)	✓ I love sea turtles.
× I spend ridiculous amounts of money on makeup.  (Hahahahanooooo.)	✓ I plan on achieving a major goal/dream.  (Writing, making a difference in the world, being an activist of some sort for children with disabilities (and adults, too). I want to use my writing to make statements in general, but not direct ones.)	× I am proficient on a musical instrument.
× I hate office jobs.	× I went to college out of state.	× I am adopted.
× I am a pyro.	× I have thrown up from crying too much.	× I have been intentionally hurt by people that I loved.  (I don't think anyone in my life has ever set out to hurt me. But some of them have. Others have hurt me in the sense that I stopped bothering to expect much emotional attachment from them, and I think what hurts isn't that I don't think they are willing to act like they care, but that truthfully, I don't give a darn anymore. THAT hurts.)
× I fall for the worst people.	× I adore bright colours.	× I usually like covers better than originals.
× I hate chain theme restaurants like Applebees and TGIFridays.	× I can pick up things with my toes.	✓ I can't whistle.
× I have ridden/owned a horse.	✓ I still have every journal I've ever written in.  (Once I even wrote a note to my younger self.)	✓ I talk in my sleep.  (On occasion. I also having waking dreams, usually when I'm sick, where I'll be doing things like using the bathroom and brushing my teeth, but I'll be half dreaming.)
× I've often thought that I was born in the wrong century.	× I try to forget things by drowning them out with loads of distractions.  (More than I probably should.)	× I wear a toe ring.
× I have a tattoo.	× I can't stand at LEAST one person that I work with.  (Eh, nobody I can't stand, but there's two people who sometimes make me want to bang my head against the wall. One I really otherwise respect and admire, the other... well, it's not that she says anything insulting, it's more that she has this "don't talk to me" vibe about her.)	× I am a caffeine junkie.
✓ I am completely tree-huggy spiritual, and I'm not ashamed at all.  (I'm spiritual, sure.)	× If I knew I would get away with it, I would commit at least one murder.	× I will collect anything, and the more nonsensical, the better.
× I enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner.	✓ I'm an artist.  (Not in the painting or drawing sense, but writing, yeah.)	× I am ambidextrous.
× I sleep with so many stuffed animals, I can hardly fit on my bed.	× If it weren't for having to see other people naked, I'd live in a nudist colony.	× I have terrible teeth.
× I hate my toes.	✓ I did this meme even though I wasn't tagged by the person who took it before me.	✓ I have more friends on the internet than in real life.  (Though I now consider most of them real life friends.)
✓ I have lived in either three different states or countries.	× I am extremely flexible.	✓ I love hugs more than kisses.
✓ I want to own my own business.  (I do.)	× I smoke.	✓ I spend way too much time on the computer than on anything else.

I didn't need to go to a therapist or anything though.)	✓ I believe in ghosts and the paranormal.  (Absolutely.)
× I can't stand being alone.	✓ I have at least one obsession at any given time.  (Harry Potter!)	× I weigh myself, pee/poo, and then weigh myself again.
× I consistently spend way too much money on obsessions-of-the-moment.	× I'm a judgmental asshole.	× I'm a HUGE drama-queen.  (I can be a bit of one, sadly.)
✓ I have travelled on more than one continent.	× I sometimes wish my father would just disappear.	× I need people to tell me I'm good at something in order to feel that I am.  (I have my moments, more than I'd like, but I also feel everyone at least needs encouragement. Being told to try does a lot, and there are some things I can do to a point not because anyone said I'm good, but because people said I could try it.)
× I am a Libertarian.	× I can speak more than one language.  (Not fluently. In Belgium, I lived in an area where everyone was from somewhere else, so English was the automatic second language, and I went to an English speaking school. And now I forget a lot of the French I did learn, because I haven't had to use it in so long.)	× I can fall asleep even if the whole room is as noisy as it can be.  (Sometimes.)
✓ I would rather read than watch TV.  (Books do not have commercials. ;) (Ew, that was really corny).)	× I like reading fact more than fiction.	× I have pulled an all-nighter on an assignment I was given a month to do.
× I have no piercings.	× I have spent the night in a train station or other public place.	× I have been so upset over my physical gender that I cried.
× I once spent Christmas completely alone because there was a miscommunication on which parent was supposed to have me that night.	✓ There have been times when I have wondered "Why was I born?" and may/may not have cried over it.  (I've had thoughts to that extent - again, I think it's one of those things that's only natural.)	× I like most animals better than most people.
× I own a collection of retro games consoles.  (Not sure what games consoles are. I might.)	× The thought of physical exercise makes me shiver.	× I have hit someone with a dead fish.
× I am compulsively honest.	× I was born with a congenital birth defect that has never been repaired.  (Not exactly. I was born with several problems though, such as a heart murmur and cleft palate (that they didn't find until I was six - it was on the roof of my mouth, so not actually obvious). I still have hearing problems.)	× I have danced topless in front of dozens of complete strangers.
× I have gone from wishing I was a girl to revelling in being a boy to feeling like a girl again in the span of five minutes, and not cared a whit for my actual sex.	× I am unashamedly bisexual, and have different motivations for my desires for different genders.	× I sometimes won't sleep a whole night or eat a whole day because I forget to.

× I have been clinically dead for a brief period of time.  (Er... I don't think so...)	× Instead of feeling sympathy/empathy with people and their problems, I simply become annoyed.  (Only if they are making a small problem out to be a larger one. On a messageboard, someone had posted something with the title "Oh my god I need help I'm so upset", and I clicked expecting to see something about a car accident or an illness. Instead, the person had spilled something on their carpet. My sympathy was VERY limited.)	× I participate/have participated in auto drag races and won.
× I do not 'get' most comedy acts.	✓ I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing.  ("Money greedy"? Yeah, if I was living below the poverty line and had a baby to feed, I might be "money-greedy" too. And some aren't poor, and they just... like what they do. I don't particularly approve of the job, but I respect that some have no choice, and some just want to, so who am I to talk?)	× I don't like to chew gum.
× I am obsessed with history/historical things and can't wait for someone to build a time machine so I can be the first to use it.	× I can never remember for the life of me where I parked the car.	✓ I had the TEEN ANGST thing going for at least 2-3 years.  ("Like, OMG, and everyone in my High School HATES me and the Cheerleaders are the MAFIA of SCHOOL and...")
✓ I wish people would be more empathic and honest with each other.  (Please, people... try empathy.)	× I play Dungeons and Dragons weekly.	✓ I love to sing.  (I'm not so good at it, though.)
× I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up.	× I have a custom-built computer.	× I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it.

× I am a twin!  (*Sigh* See above. Way above.)	× Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'.  (I like a little bit of both.)	× Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else.  (I wish.)
✓ I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes.	× I sleep more than 12 hours a day.	× I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough.
× I need more time to myself.	✓ I wish I was more open-minded.	× I hope that I go really prematurely grey.
✓ I download songs from the internet.  (But places like ITunes, where the artists still get paid.)	× I've just reenacted chapter 58 of Death Note with my best friend.	× I say random things to freak people out.  (I say random things sometimes, but not to freak people out.)
× I'm still a little mad about the ending of Death Note.	× I love playing Truth or Dare.	× I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it.
✓ Music helps me remember that I am not alone.	× Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems.	✓ I think this survey is particularly long.
× I prefer my LJ friends to my real-life ones.  (It depends on the friends! I'm closer with some friends than others.)	× I can only hate someone that I love.	× I've ordered an extra two shots of espresso to an Americano at Starbucks.
