| I recognize faces really really well (even years after last seeing the person), but I can rarely place a name to the face unless I know the person really well. |

| I use my mp3 player (it's a Sansa) whenever I need to drown out a noise that gets to me (like the sound of people eating, etc), but I rarely use it while walking around as I perfer to hear if things like cars are coming towards me. |

| I sleep from 4 or 5 AM to 12 or 1 PM every day. Luckily I register for my classes early enough each semester to accomodate for it. I often have trouble just falling asleep, unless I'm REALLY tired, and I used to skip sleep some nights. |

| I'm okay with seatbelts, UNLESS the seatbelt is twisted, and its almost impossible to twist them back... it just drives me nuts. |

| I'm actually totally unphased by bees, or daddy-long-legs, etc etc etc. Only bug that pisses me off is mosquitos, which there are a LOT of in Alaska (although the ones up here don't carry all those diseases). I mainly hate mosquitos because mosquito bites drive me nuts. |

| I do really great at math, but only if I practice. (usual amount of practice required would only be a homework assignment's worth). I got a D in math 107 my first time around, and I never did the homework, but I'm taking math 107 now, doing all the homework, and I have an A in the class. I'm not sur... |

| I've always disliked how my voice sounds from the outside. To me it just doesn't sound like "me." It doesn't really sound younger than I am, although it did when I was younger, like in my mid-teens. |

| I absolutely can not stand the sound of people eating. At first it'll be alright, just a minor annoyance, then after about 2-5 minutes it drives me crazy, and I just can't stand it. I have to either drown it out with loud music through my earphones or I have to leave the room. I've even thrown thing... |
