Behold! An entry longer than two sentences!
I never usually have posts longer than a sentence, but reading these entries intrigued me.

THE RULES! Each player lists 8 facts or habits about themselves; the rules of the game are to be posted first; at the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people.
1. I'm a really big pack rat. REALLY big. Not only that, but I have a tendency to start collections and...never really continue them. I've started a collection of stamps (pretty normal), rocks (I only have 2 big ones though; they are on my shelf and the size of my head. I found them when I was out walking Cricket so I lugged them home), glass jars (I had a random ones but my mom threw them away), Coke glass bottles (i only have 1), fake poo toys (I only have 3, i think), Asian soda drink candies, and a bunch of other things. I've started so many that I can't really remember what I have collections of. When I start a collection I actually think "okay, i am going to collect these things and get bunches of them" but sadly I never get around to doing so.
2. When I drive, I like to lean my head on the right side of the head rest because my pony tail always prevents me from resting my head comfortably on the rest.
3. I get sick a lot. Since entering high school, I've gotten some form of bronchitis every year. I got tracheal bronchitis freshman year and was prescribed codeine (which has opiate-like effects). I got some form sophomore year; I forgot what, but I remember I threw up while I was judging a ELL speech round and I felt really bad afterwards because I kind of ruined one guy's speech. Junior year..I don't remember what I got either, but I remember giving it to Jim Gao, who then preceded to spread it across the entire campus. Senior year I didn't get it until late in the season, around April or May. I had that hacking cough that was alarmingly similar to the type I get with bronchitis. I decided not to go to the doctor this year since I get it every year anyway. I eventually got over it, even though the cough lasted around 3 or 4 weeks.
4. I think one of the reasons I am a pack rat is because I am a very nostalgic person. I like to think of the "old days" a lot and dwell upon things of the past. It's pretty bad.
5. I have to read every night before I go to bed, otherwise it takes longer for me to fall asleep. Unfortunately, I have recently formed the nasty habit of falling asleep after reading for a while because of this little tradition of mine. It's getting annoying, since I've been taking so much longer to get through a book because I keep taking naps every time I try to read for prolonged periods of time.
6. I really enjoy rereading books I like. I've probably reread most of the books I favor at least 3 or 4 times. I think I've read Ender's Game at least 5 or 6 times already. I think it's because I dislike forgetting what happens in books, and since I have a horrible memory, this happens a lot.
7. I used to really like playing chess, and I like to think I was good at it for a brief period of time during my 5th grade and middle school years. I used to like playing so much that I would beg my sister to play with me (who hated it), and I would let her take back a lot of moves just so she would keep playing with me. I'm not so good anymore because I don't play much anymore. :(
8. I think my favorite number is 5 because it used to be my cubby number back in elementary school at NEHS in Taiwan. It was also my student number for a while in 1st grade, I think. I was weird. I used to save bits of snacks I collected from other classmates and myself during break periods and the slices of pepperoni on my pizza in the corner of my desk so I could bring them home to feed Spot, our doggy (which used to be stray).
Like Tarah, I don't have enough friends on Livejournal to tag...
Yep. This is the longest LJ entry I've had for a while.
