Funny, that's on my list of things to do (saw a special on TV where they're eating live octopus... looks tasty, though I'd want some hot sauce to go on it)

thats the truth.

here are some of my many:
-i've never seen any of the star wars movies and never plan to (they just don't interest me.)

-to those that don't know me well, i may seem like that nicest, sweetest guy, or a complete asshole. there's rarely a middle ground.

-i used to watch footballer's wives compulsively

-my grandfather was childhood friends and went to military school with paris hilton's grandfather and great uncle in the 30's/40's

-i can't drive stick

1. When I'm talking to people I'll make up stuff but I don't realize that what I said wasn't true until I'm in the middle of saying it or I finished saying it. When I realize what I've done it's to late to do anything about it. For example I can't go "Oh, you know that really funny story I just told you about my childhood? Well actually not a word of it is true." I think what I'm trying to do is make my life more interesting.

2. I have an addiction to art supplies. I have six boxes (moving box, size boxes) full of various art supplies that I don't use (that doesn’t count the stuff I do use) and I am constantly getting more.

3. I believe in God, but I also believe God is to big for only one religion, so I do my best to practice all of them.

4. I try to convince people that I am a bitch when I know I actually am a nice person.

5. It takes me at least half an hour to write an email that is three sentences.

6. I enjoyed writing this way more than I expected.

Since my night at work is going INSANELY slow and this topic has been bumped, I'll add a couple more just for fun.

1) At any given time I have 80-100 things on hold at the library

2) When I was in grade 3 I used to be scared to go to the bathroom because I was convinced that Micheal Jackson was in the toilet and he was going to lick my bum. (True story. I have no idea why, or where this came from but that fear lasted like six months...)

3) I am seriously considering quitting my job.

4) If calories and nutrition weren't a factor I would live on Lime Crush, Poutine and Wine Gums...

5) I am incredably hard-headed, and because of this I will most likely end up playing football again this year even though I'm currently scheduled for knee surgery

1. I have wanderlust like whoa. Which makes everyone think that I'm really scatterbrained because I'm always just planning my next adventure. But then again, I love just chilling at my school and hanigng out with my friends, whom I love to death.

2. I recently had sex with one of my really good friends and we didn't use protection and now I'm freaking out, although I think I'll be okay.. This is the first thing I've ever really been worried about.

3. I want to go the United States Naval Academy more than anything in the world. It has always been my dream and that's what I want to do.

4. I'm a hardcore vegetarian and I have been since I was 12 even though know one believes me. I abhor all animal flesh type things.

5. I've gotten to the point where I don't like being around my family too much. I just want to hang out with my friends.

6. Skipping my senior year was the best decision I ever made because I love my new school and my new friends and I honestly don't think I could have made good friends in high school.

7. Ihave serious body image issues but I only act on them every now and then. I have been on and off a diet since I was 10, losing and gaining the same 20 pounds...

8. I don't think I could go a week without drinking right now. Actually I don't think I could go a week without drinking more than once. I will not lie, I drink. Alot. Last week I drank 5 times. But I don't think I have a drinking problem. But I don't know tolerance. I'm a binge drinker, but so are all of my friends. We are kind of the crazy partiers.

Oh and 9. One of my favorite things to do is to sleep in the same bed a sa guy and cuddle with him. So some people think I'm a slut, but a lot of times, we'll just lay there and talk or pass out. I also love it when guys kiss me on my forehead...

though i'd try revive this cos sum of the answers cracked me up and cos im generally an open person.. so heres my five-ish things add urs too if ur inclined....

1. I got my blackbelt in karate at 17 and was top in nz and australia for my age group for bout 2 years in kumite (competitive fighting)

2. @ 15 i got trigeminal nueralgia, which is clinically considered to be the most intense chronic pain:eek: . its an over 60's disease so im now a highly drugged medical freak lol. i have pain btwn 100 and 1000 xper day, and it has been a very defining experience in my life.

3. i dont see myself living a long life, i think bcoz of th TN. I try and squeeze a lot in and fast. i've just turned 20 have almost finished my 1st degree, am off on my OE soon, own a good car, can speak another language, have represented my county in sport, have been in love, bungy jumped.. u name it!

4. im people crazy. they make and break my day. im closer with my parents and siblings than ne 1 my age i kno (even though they live awhile away). i love my friends and would do anything for them incl. my ex. i give up time, money, grades, my health whateva to make sure the ppl i luv are happy, they keep me going.

5. i do not see myself as a sick person. being treated like one is my number 1 hate. even with TN ive never used it as an excuse for assignments etc, and ppl do not know unless i chose to tell them.

6. longest ive been with out sex since i lost my v plates is err... i think a month?maybe 5 weeks lol?

7. i hate seeing fish under me, im a tough exterior type but snorkelling over wrecks in aussie almost gave me panic attacks in the water!

8. i drove a motorbike off a cliff at 3 (i have a petrolhead family lol)

9. im honest normally but add alcohol and its pretty brutal and i become a total slag lol.

10. i really hope ppl add their 5+ or new ones cos im a tpunk addict at the mo lol
