1. I have never wanted a pony. A unicorn or a mermaid would be pretty cool, but better would be a box of infinite monkeys. Except for the poop problem.
2. I like sunsets better than sunrises.
3. I celebrated xmas for almost 10 years straight with someone else's family.
4. After 9/11, I seriously considered joining the marines.
5. I wish my French was better. (So I'm practicing.)
6. I made it 31 years before someone close to me died.
7. My favorite response to a posed, unanswerable (by choice or philosophy) question is, "I am a very small dog."
8. I can tell time by the sun.
9. If I were a vegetable, I would be a pineapple. My favorite color is blue, no, yellow.
10. I'm atheist. Really. For real. A lot. Seriously.
11. I'd like to know everything a doctor does, but I don't want to be a doctor.
12. I wear a compass on my watch band. I use it often.
13. I think about suicide at a rate of around once a decade. Thankfully, the rate of attempts is far lower.
14. I don't like sharing.
15. I think dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight sounds exquisite.
16. I'd like to go to Africa next.
17. I can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
18. I lie sometimes.
19. I tell the truth most times. Especially when it's inappropriate. e.g. "You are an idiot and the best thing you can do for the human race is sterilize yourself."
20. I learn more through hardship and failure than through success. I think success may make me complacent. Who's the cliche now, eh?
21. Living room fight club is amazingly cathartic.
22. My jaw really really hurts right now.
23. Living out of a backpack, lo-fi, is extremely liberating. Electricity and running water are expendable. Candles and mosquito nets, on the other hand, are invaluable.
24. I've lived the American Dream and won. Now what?
25. I honestly don't think there's an answer out there, but I'm going to keep looking anyway.
And there you go.
