| I'm 29 and I have a degree in English Lit. I work part-time at Subway. I don't really *want* to work at Subway. I dont make enough money to take care of myself, and I hate making sandwiches. I am embarrassed when new people ask me what I do because I know I can do better. But the thought of getting ... |

| As a child I liked to take all of my books off the shelves and stack them by size and color and put them in boxes, then take them out and put them back on the shelves. Looking back it was a very odd thing to do. Now I take pleasure in tetris and loading the dish washer *just right.* Sorting my craft... |

| So I was home for a few days and making rounds w/ my family. I spent a few hours with my dad at his place and then went to visit my grandmother. My dad called me there about an hour after I left his house and said, "I have some really bad news." And he was using his sad voice. My first thought was t... |

| Long distance relationships can work between the right ppl. My bf and I were long distance for 2 1/2 years. We only saw each other about twice a month. We went straight from long distance to living together about 6 months ago and we've been doing just fine. The difference between you guys and us is ... |

| I love the challenge of writing fanfic. I like changing my writing style to affect the original writers' style, and I get warm fuzzies when a reader complements me on how well I've captured a character. Also, I like to write about my favorite characters getting it on. :twisted: That being said, I th... |

Sometimes it was harder to be with him on the weekends we spent together because it would be 48 straight hours of him never leaving my side. When I lost my house we w... |

I'm terrible at math beyond very basic algebra. Taking physics in high school and statistics in college were a nightmare and I scraped by with C's in both.
I do, however, have higher-than-average skills at Tetris. |

And hearing the voice in my he... |
