× I sleep with so many stuffed animals, I can hardly fit on my bed. (I don't sleep with any anymore.)
× If it weren't for having to see other people naked, I'd live in a nudist colony. (I could live with seeing others naked, and a nudist colony doesn't sound so bad.)
× I have terrible teeth. (They were corrected by orthodontics, but I need to take better care of them.)

✓ I want to own my own business. (A graphic design business, and an occult shop.)
× I smoke. (Nope.)
✓ I spend way too much time on the computer than on anything else. (Goes with the territory of my career choice....that and I like the Internet.)
× Nobody has ever said I'm normal. (Oh people have said it but it is debatable its true.)
× Sad movies, games, and the like can cause a trickle of tears every now and then. (It really has to be sad or touch me in the right way to make me do that.)
× I am proficient in the use of many types of firearms and combat weapons. (Never fired a gun in my life. Swords, knives and sticks and then you're talking my language.)
× I like the way women look in stylized men's suits. (Not really. Give me a real woman. I know how to Photoshop someone to look like a cover woman.)

✓ I have been described as a dreamer or likely to have my head up in the clouds.
× I have played strip poker with someone else before. (Not yet.)

× I weigh myself, pee/poo, and then weigh myself again. (Uh, no.)
× I consistently spend way too much money on obsessions-of-the-moment. (Hard to when you don't have the money to.)

✓ I can fall asleep even if the whole room is as noisy as it can be. (If I'm tired enough.)
✓ I would rather read than watch TV. (I tend to.)
✓ I like reading fact more than fiction. (I've been on a real non-fiction kick lately. Although I am reading Dante's Inferno.)

✓ I have no piercings.
× I have spent the night in a train station or other public place. (Not that I remember.)
✓ I have been so upset over my physical gender that I cried. (Living up to my gender's stereotypes can be very hard at times...like the whole "No-emotions, no-crying" thing.)
× I once spent Christmas completely alone because there was a miscommunication on which parent was supposed to have me that night.
✓ There have been times when I have wondered "Why was I born?" and may/may not have cried over it. (Oh I've cried over it...and I think I'm starting to get my answers for that.)
✓ I like most animals better than most people. (Animals are who they are in general, without misunderstandings as to what they do and how they do it. Animals don't tend to create facades of whom they are. They simply ARE.)

× I was born with a congenital birth defect that has never been repaired.
× I have danced topless in front of dozens of complete strangers.
✓ I have gone from wishing I was a girl to revelling in being a boy to feeling like a girl again in the span of five minutes, and not cared a whit for my actual sex. (Sometimes being my gender completely blows, and sometimes its interesting and fun to explore what you would be like as the opposite sex and how different life might be.)
× I am unashamedly bisexual, and have different motivations for my desires for different genders. (Honestly I do not know.)
✓ I sometimes won't sleep a whole night or eat a whole day because I forget to.
✓ I find it impossible to get to sleep without some kind of music on. (This is generally true...I need SOMETHING to play or make noise to drown out the other noises around me..like the fan of my computer.)
× I dislike milk. (Love it!)
✓ I obsessively wash my hands. (Not to the point of rawness, just whenever they get dirty, gross, or greasy...this comes out especially when I'm eating, say, KFC or pizza.)
✓ I always carry something significant around with me. (Generally its around my neck, but I carry a Triple Moon stone in my pocket.)
✓ Sometimes I'd rather wear a wig in day-to-day life than use my own hair. (Anime hair can be pretty wild.)
✓ I've pushed myself to become more self-aware and thereby more aware of others. (I try to on a daily. As far as how successful this has been? I think I have succeeded.)
✓ Even though I live on my own I still cry sometimes because I miss my mother. (What can I say? Irregardless of our differences, I still love my Mom.)
× I hand wrote all the HTML tags in this document. (Hell no.)
✓ I've liked something which a majority of people claimed was either bad or weird. (Try telling people you like being naked as opposed to clothed with an overweight body and see the reaction you get.)
✓ I have been clinically dead for a brief period of time. (As a baby.)
× Instead of feeling sympathy/empathy with people and their problems, I simply become annoyed. (I usually empathize.)
× I participate/have participated in auto drag races and won. (I don't drive well as it is. I don't feel like creaming the side of building with my guts, thanks.)
× I do not 'get' most comedy acts. (I like comedy acts that don't rely on 'fuck this' and 'fuck that' but actually take a bit of brains to get.)
✓ I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing. (Some simply like to dance, some do it for the money to help out themselves or people in their life. I can't fathom the motivations of people who take on the lifestyle and job/career of stripping. I've not done it.)
✓ I don't like to chew gum. (Depends on the gum though.)
✓ I am obsessed with history/historical things and can't wait for someone to build a time machine so I can be the first to use it. (Hell yes!)
× I can never remember for the life of me where I parked the car. (Oh I can...if I park close to the entrance or MAKE myself remember where the damned thing is.)
✓ I had the TEEN ANGST thing going for at least 2-3 years. (I started the goth movement in my high school.)
✓ I wish people would be more empathic and honest with each other. (It'd make life a lot less complicated.)

✓ I love to sing. (In the shower, at work, in the car...anywhere.)
× I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up. (Uh, fuck no.)
× I have a custom-built computer. (I want to, when I get the money or a person who's willing to shell out the money to.)
× I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it. (No thanks.)
× I would be in a relationship with one of my pets if they were human. (Don't have a pet of my own, and I dunno, even then.)
✓ I've gone skinny-dipping. (It was fun.)
✓ I've performed in three plays. (Actually, I've performed in more than three.)
✓ I enjoy burritos.
× I'm Irish and loving it. (I don't know if I have Irish in me or not.)
✓ I have a thing for redheads. (They are beautiful, as much as blondes or browns or pinks or blues...)
× I am a twin! (Nope...but they run in my family.)
× Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'. (I like to do both...it depends on my mood.)
× Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else. (No, I've been known to give up on things.)
✓ I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes. (Who doesn't?)
× I sleep more than 12 hours a day. (I friggin' wish.)
× I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough. (Not in every realm of life.)

× I'm still a little mad about the ending of Death Note. (Wtf is Death Note?)
✓ I love playing Truth or Dare. (Oh the things you learn, oh the things you can do!)
× I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it. (Depends on the song. I swear to the Goddess I hear another teeny-bopper sing "My Life Will Go On"...)
✓ Music helps me remember that I am not alone. (It also reminds me I can get through things, I can rise above things, and that yes, things suck, and can be overcome in time.)
× Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems. (Don't really have a fav sport.)
✓ I think this survey is particularly long. (Yeah, but involved and I like it.)
× I prefer my LJ friends to my real-life ones. (Most people on my LJ friends-list are real-life friends.)
× I can only hate someone that I love. (I do not like to hate, especially those I love.)
× I've ordered an extra two shots of espresso to an Americano at Starbucks. (Never had an Americano...and wtf does this have to do with rice in China?)
