  6. I like my eyes

  7. there are plenty of other body parts that I'm not so happy with

  8. but I'll live

  9. I'm a survivor ;)

  10. I used to be a very introvert person

  11. people even called me mysterious

  12. I think now they would call me an open book

  13. what can I say, people change, I'm one of them

  14. I have a tendency to finish other people's sentences

  15. about half of the time I'm right

  16. which means the other half of the time I'm wrong


  17. I hate it when that happens


  18. it's an annoying habit I can't seem to break


  19. but I keep trying


  20. I love reading books


  21. especially a pageturner


  22. I've been known to stay up till 3 am to read


  23. and feeling terribly tired the rest of the day


  24. I have on occasion read the ending before finishing a book


  25. I'm curious by nature


  26. I guess you figured that one out


  27. but I never knew whether I was having a boy or a girl

  29. I did guess though


  30. I was right once


  31. and wrong once

  39. if I don't lose them


  40. I make lists for everything: what to do, what to bring, what not to forget


  41. I'm not good at prioritizing


  42. so my lists don't always get finished


  43. I'm also a procrastinator


  44. those two don't mix well


  45. I'm the second of four girls


  46. I didn't seem to fit in


  47. I still don't, but it bothers me less now


  48. I don't consider myself to be a smart person


  49. but a lot of it has to do with laziness


  50. I wish I would have been less lazy in school


  51. I left my studying till a few days before the exams


  52. if I hadn't, maybe I would remember more of what I learned back then

  54. and now that makes me sound like I'm bragging

tania, i loved learning more about you and loved the way you organized your list... it was kind of like reading a short story rather than a list:)
we have a lot in common, really...
especially the chocolate part (and, unfortunately, the procrastinating part, too;).
much love,
dani
