Doodling on napkins or other scraps of paper, writing poetry that people don't give a damn about, writing people's dirty little secrets in my journal... sometimes writing my dirty little secrets in my journal, singing in the shower, making fun of my mom a.k.a. 'Noggy' after the Thanksgiving episode, playing my guitar, the piano, or the oboe... working on harmonica so people will think I'm pitiful and give me money, antique stores on weekends, thrift stores, checkers, ps2, raquetball, not going with my best friend to any restraunt that's going to make him fart, reading lots of books, collecting salt & pepper shakers, blaming everything that happens to me that's stupid on 'Those Damn Kids!', moaning about how old I am when my knee hurts in the morning, making some of my own clothes to wear b/c I got tired of paying $50 for skimpy fabric that I could put together more shoddily myself lolWhat I Like:Please and Thank You/People who wear their heart on their sleeve and a smile on their face/Edumakayted Individuals/Conviction in your beliefs/Musicians/Poets & Writers/Artists/Philosophical Thought/Randomness/Anyone no matter what you wear or look like/Uniqueness/Innocense/Faith/Hope/Corny Jokes (stupid but endearing)/Dreamers/People who still believe in Fairy Tales/Conversationalists......What I DO NOT Like: Megalomania: an unnaturally great desire for power and control, or the belief that you are very much more important and powerful than you really are
