One thing you can't recycle is wasted time

About Me

I love the smell of burning matches and drying paint. Sometimes I laugh in my sleep. I think black and white photos can be more beautiful than colored ones. I don't like the smell of ham. I get cold really easily. I want to see the pyramids. I try not to kill bugs that I find at home. I don't eat peanut butter sandwiches but I like pb&j. I do impressions of ordinary people. I often smile so much it hurts. I love the color red. I want to build an igloo one day. I don't mind getting dirty. I'd like a little pig but would never call it Wilbur. I name inanimate objects. I have a ton of shoes. I watch infomercials but never buy anything. I almost always remember my dreams. I own a guitar but don't know how to play. I daydream at night. I'd love to get on a plane or in a car without knowing where I'm headed. I think sushi is the greatest food invention. I've been to South Africa but not to South Dakota. I eat my pizza with a knife and fork. I think fish are cooler than birds. I like watching operations on TV. I hate the new $20 bill. I love a good debate. I once had a pet snail named Scotty. My sister is my best friend. I drink more than 8 glasses of water per day. I like playing sports more than watching. I make up my own words. I get the hiccups when I laugh too hard. I'm great at word jumbles. I'm scared of forgetting the past. I don't like girly drinks. I may blurt out "uncomfortable silence" when there is an uncomfortable silence, just to break the ice. I've been sky diving but I'm scared to death of bungee jumping. I love oranges but hate how the smell never leaves my hands. I admire people with passions. I enjoy flying. I think the word pumpernickle sounds funny. I prefer watching lightning over fireworks. I can make the best ugly face. I've caught the traveling bug. I cook without recipes. I always stand up for what I believe in. I procrastinate but always get it done. I tell my best friends that I love them. I think, paint and draw abstractly. I'm a night person. I tailgate cars with bumper stickers that say "do not tailgate." I'm a sucker for dares. I crush dry leaves. I find natural disasters and ancient history intriguing. I love making people laugh. I think ugly dogs are the cutest. I always save the best for last. I prefer being lost over feeling lost. I never settle for anything.
