Thoughts, observations, and introspections from an

1. I worship Bono and The Edge is a Christ-figure.
2. I sometimes eat peanut butter straight from the jar.
3. Misspellings, grammatical errors, pEoPLe wHo tYpE LikE ThIs, and people who misuse clichés annoy me.
4. but, for whatever reason, people who never capitalize their e-mails don't.
5. Ben & Jerry's Karmel Sutra and Haagen Daaz Macadamia Brittle are my favorite ice creams. I'll eat other stuff though.
6. I think smokers are some of the dirtiest people, the way they fling their butts everywhere.
7. Blogging is a valid excuse to not do homework.
8. It's also a good way to look like you're working hard at the office, especially if you're typing out a lengthy post.
9. Considering how active I am, I'm surprised that I've never broken any bones in my body.
10. I've always done better in English than math and coming from a family like mine, that's cause for disownment.
11. Tomboyish girls are attractive to me because I somehow got it in my head that they're low-maintenance.
12. I own over 50 U2 CDs.
13. I've never tried a cigarette or done any drugs. Except for that one time...
14. I learned to type thanks to IRC.
15. I dont' care what anyone says, I love power ballads.
16. There's still a part of me that wants to drop everything and try being a rock star.
17. My only regrets in life involve women - both of the "If only I..." and "why the hell did I..." variety
18. I've dated blondes, brunettes, and a redhead. Yes she was a real redhead. She showed me.
19. Titanic has to be the most overrated movie. Ever.
20. I'm convinced that if you go back far enough, you'll find Irish or Dutch blood in my family line. This would explain some of my traits.
21. I'd die without caffeine.
22. Four years ago, I weighed 248 pounds. I'm now a svelte 204. Thanks to dating, I'm back up to 220.
23. I saw "Jerry Maguire" six times in the theater.
24. Two types of people I don't have much tolerance for: dumb people that don't know just how dumb they are and overeducated people who love the sound of their own voice.
25. I'm a good cook. I can be a great cook if I had more ingredients, a higher budget, and more counter space.

36. My thighs are 27" around at their widest point. My calves are just over 18".

38. I never want kids. Ever.
39. I really don't care much about my appearance, hence the perpetual scruffiness and ignoring fashion advice from women.
40. I've never celebrated Valentine's Day. Even recently.
41. Despite claiming to be a beer snob, I'll drink anything if it's there and free. Except for Natty Lite.
42. A girl that likes to play or watch sports, laughs at my humor, and can cook is free to walk on the ground I worship.
43. I love the smell of new liner notes, bacon, a fresh can of tennis balls, my guitar, and freesia.
44. I really believe that people who are inordinately picky about the opposite gender are usually the type that has no business even moderately picky. Deep down, they know this and the pickiness is a defense mechanism against rejection.
45. I'm a lot more intuitive/complicated/melancholy than I let on.

48. I like funny words.

81. I had a huge crush on Debbie Gibson.
82. I love the way a woman's hair smells at the end of the day, when it's a combination of her conditioner and her natural aroma. Don't ask me why, it's just comforting.
