About You
Preferred name: I've never really had a nickname
Preferred location: With those I love
Defining age: Yet to be determined, but it could be right now.
Be Honest
Name: Most of you know this
Location: A gray cubicle on the fourth floor of a building near lizalou42's home.
Age: 25
Define Yourself
What's true: My love for those close to me
What's misrepresented: My selfishness
#1 goal in life: To be me. First, I've got to figure out who me is.
Habits: Watching "Good Morning America" while I eat breakfast, biting my cuticles, twirling my hair, leaving the frig open while I pour my milk, humming or making some other weird noise to block out thoughts that I don't want running through my head, cuddling something close to me when I sleep, talking before thinking, saving the best bite of food for the last (for example, I eat pb&j sandwiches in circles starting with the crust and working my way around until I reach the last delicious bite in the center).
Things You Did, Good and Bad
As a toddler: Counting aloud to my parents; wearing socks with shoes (the socks would bunch and fold when my mom put my shoes on--drove me nuts)
In elementary school: school work; understanding, getting along with, and being accepted by the other kids
In middle/high school: school work; understanding, getting along with, and being accepted by the other kids
In college: living away from my parents; not taking advantage of all that was before me
Things You Do

All-time favorites: The Little House series, anything by Jane Austen, the Griffin and Sabine series by Nick Bantock, Harry Potter...

Sports: Um, not really. I used to love to watch ice skating and some gymnastics. Soccer is fine; the guys are usually pretty good looking. I'd love to learn curling. I watch a bit of football with my grandma and boyfriend and a bit of KU basketball.
Write: my thoughts, bits of stories, rewriting other's work,
See: right now? My computer, a big cup of water at my right, a magazine imposition (an overview of all of a magazine's pages and where the ads and editorial will go), Christmas lights that I haven't taken down yet, a can of Fresca (today is free pop Friday!), two very funny Get Fuzzy and one Garfield comic strips on my bulletin board, the tail end of one of my plants hiding behind my imposition, and lots and lots of papers
Hear: the clickty clack of people typing on keyboards and remnants of a conversation in an office down the hall--oh, the girl sitting next to me just giggled.
Love: those close to me, security, pattern, routine, photos, editing/reworking/correcting/improving someone else's work, watching TV with friends, Dove ice cream, BBQ, pizza, food, chocolate, my toes, and a few other things that I'll keep to myself.
Things You Don't
Read: Romance novels, biographies, mass emails
Watch: CSI, shows with lots of blood, Beauty and the Geek, horror movies, really stupid comedies, Dancer in the Dark because Big-Bold-D said it would be too depressing for me,

Write: I don't know of anything that I don't or wouldn't write.
See: lizalou for a whole year! countingpigs in S'pore, what makes others tick, my favorite slippers, my future, real pain or suffering
Hear: My ears are pretty sensitive to noise, so this one is hard. What is said when I'm not present, the tree falling in the woods with no one to hear. Did it make a sound?
Love: feeling overwhelmed or helpless, abuse, manipulation, lies, hate, ignorance
