Who I am at 25...

(Except when my internet is broken - damn you, laptop!)

(I'm a perfectionist!)

(I can't sleep unless it's dark, but the dark scares me - I'm weird like that)

(I have an idea journal, but I've never done anything with those ideas)

(I prefer their company because they are kinder and more laid back.)

(A few photographers told me I have the most awkward smile they have ever seen.

I have hated getting my picture taken ever since.)

(As long as I know them well and trust them.)

(Anything to do with fire makes me happy.)

(I always laugh at the worst times.)

(I've been an insomniac since I was a kid.)

(Intelligence in boys is one of the most attractive traits of all.)

(It's not an "anti-social" thing, I do it to clear my head.)

(I LOVE keeping my room clean, but somehow I end up with 

book, notebooks, journals, etc strewn across my floor.)

(Because I really do...) :)

(Maybe one day I will be...)

(Hooray for insomnia!)

(I was told this for a long time. It's hard to make myself believe differently.)

(Nightmares, sleep paralysis, hypnopompic hallucinations, etc.

Sleep becomes a chore.)

(I'm just going to accept that it's going to take me awhile. 

I've got to take care of a few personal things first.)

(At 15, I never thought my life would be the way it is now.)

(If I were more brave and dropped my walls, I think a lot of people would like me.

It's just risking the rejection that terrifies me, even though it shouldn't.)

(...IF I reaaally like someone.)

(Even though they can't talk, they are much more loving, loyal, and sweet.)

(Maybe it's the fear of my hard drive crashing and losing everything, 

but it's nice to know I've got a hard copy somewhere.)

(Yeah, 5'0" is quite short, isn't it?) :)

(Always have, always will... It's a lot worse if I like someone.)

(Some people say my various laughs are hilarious. 

I think any laugh that comes out of my mouth is annoying.)

(Very unpopular view around here...but I believe they deserve their rights.)

(I'm trying to work on this, but sometimes I just swear like a sailor.)

(My coworkers laugh when they catch me talking to myself.)

(Always have and probably always will. Numbers are NOT my friends.)

(I could take a few lessons in assertiveness.)

(I consider this a positive thing many times. The what-ifs make me more creative, 

however, it becomes bad when the what-ifs make me paranoid.)
