1) I really like this little icon thingie..... it's funny (and rude).... it also probably applies to at least 1/3 of the population (assumption not based on statistics)
2) It really bugs me when people say "I'm an awesome person" or something like that on their little profile intro thing.... it strikes me as arrogant. If you're so awesome then people who meet you will know without you saying it and people who meet you will know. When I see that phrase it makes me NOT want to meet said person (reverse psychology?). It's not for you to decide weather or not you're awesome. Just like it's not for me to decide that I'm awesome all on my own. (you'll notice my profile says nothing of the sort). Of course, if it's said in jest then it's just sort of funny. A thin and wiggly line to walk.
3) I have discovered within myself a passion for roasted peppers. I hate hate hate bell peppers but most other not-too-hot peppers are good..... and good on a lot of different stuff too. They are the shizmo (my new word).... on a bagel with cream cheese..... plane on their own.... as rellenos.... on hamburger..... in burritos..... in ramen.... they are awesome (so say I).
4) Nostalgia.... I like the sound of that word. I don't know about actually being nostalgic (yeah, I get nostalgic at this age ~ imagine what I'll be like in another 30-40 years.... geebus). Being nostalgic can be nice, it can give a warm sort of feeling. But it also has a sad tinge of "I want to go back to the way it was then"... which is depressing. I mean, it's not like I'm not content with my world as of today but I miss some of the things that were there "yesterday" (it's been longer than that time-wise but you know what I mean). It's a little lonely. Little warm things that faded out over time... stuff like that. I miss them sometimes. But that's life, I guess. We can't stay doing the same thing forever. People are meant to progress for better or worse. It can't be helped.
5) I notice that I look at little things sometimes to decide weather a big thing (related) is changing. Like, just the use of a phrase or name will make me either feel uneasy or relax me. Weird, huh? Maybe not. A lot of people probably do this. Little simple motions and interactions that I'll go through with people ~ like a conversation that gets repeated every now and then. Even though it's the same thing every time it still makes me feel safe/reassured and think "see? Things are alright, everything is okay now."
