Pay it Forward

Instructions:

1. Copy this whole list into your journal.

2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.

3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you.





01. I have made bad decisions...

02. And I have a few big regrets. But hardly any small ones.

03. I hold grudges against both my self and others. And they last a long time.

04. I want to be good at something.

05. I just want to be happy.

06. i know most people don't; and never will understand. but i'm ok with that. -but it doesn't stop me from trying over and over to explain.

07. i have rarely played video games, and I am horrible at them.

08. I dream too much. I dream when I'm awake.

09. i think people need to find the balance between thinking of themselves, and taking care of those around them.

10. I believe that abortion is always a death. And always wrong.

11. Except when it is a choice between the life of the mother or the child- and then it is up to the mother.

12. Sometimes I wish I could stay in one moment forever.

13. I have a strong connection to momentos and gifts as little bits of my past.

14. I like to hold/pet/grab/tumble/hug/lay on/and otherwise touch people. Because I like to feel comfortable and close to them. Elise is the most fun because she purrs.

15. I wish I had more to give.

16. I would like to be someone else for a day, just to see how other people think.

17. I'm curious of what other people think of me. but it rarely bothers me. ... really, really curious.

18. I have a lot to learn.

19. I don't believe that crying in front of anyone is a sign of weakness. and I wish i could do it.

20. I believe in love at first sight, but I don't believe in marrying anyone you've known less than two years.

21. I think you can love who someone is with all your heart, and not love a life lived with them.

22. I wish I could better express outside my writing what I think and inside too sometimes.

23. I need to clean my bedroom.

24. I love dressing up

25. I can only really speak when I am writing. or in a mood.

26. I love music for telling a story or a feeling. As entertainment it's much less important to me than to most people.

27. I love listening to music. I love MAKING music too.

28. I'm more romantic than I let on; I dream of someone who can love me for what I am, what I'm not, and what I could be, someone who knows that they cannot complete me because I'm complete by myself, someone who is as stubborn as I am and will not only let me lean on them when I need it, but will lean on me when they need it. (well said darling)

29. I've had romantic Ideals since I can remember, and most have tragic endings.

30. I love someone who can keep a conversation with me

31. Had they lived, Romeo's attentions would wander and Juliet would feel rejected and become bitter. They a wonderful example of the idiocy and exuberance of young love.

32. I love Ophelia. She is my tragic ideal. Poetic, in love, torn, and mourned for. I can't help but think of her as stronger on the inside.

33. I procrastinate. A lot.

34. I can miss someone who's only a few feet away.

35. Jonjon is one of my ideals. Natalie should recall him.... I was afraid to get to know him, lest he fail.

36. I enjoy winning arguments with a flourish

37. I hate when people intentionally hurt another person. (but sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind...)

38. One of the worst feelings to me is being lonely.

39. Sometimes I speak my mind when I shouldn't. and sometimes i dont when I should.

40. I am a very good loser, unless you are a bad winner. Bad winners make me bitter.

41. I tend to have a hard time of letting go of people.

42. I try to keep people further away than I should

43. I wish I had someone who would hold me.

44. I love when I make people smile.

45. Sometimes I have too much energy, sometimes I don't have enough.

46. I tend to see the best in myself, doubt everyone else, then start to doubt myself too.

47. I have cried myself to sleep before. More than once. Many times.

48. I make excuses

49. I DEFINITELY believe in ghosts.

50. I believe in life after death.

51. I enjoy differences.

52. In fourth grade I once told someone that my favourite food was cheese.

53. I believe sometimes you can say a lot without ever saying a word, and

54. I believe it's that kind of talking that says the most.

55. I want to be so much a part of someone that I know exactly what to make for breakfast on a sleepy, rainy sunday morning and what suprises them best; and they know which tea to bring at night and that it's alright to sit on my feet so that I move.

56. I'm not scared of snakes.

57. I love knives, pretty knives- and daggers and swords and rapiers...&tc.

58. I believe in Karma

59. I like silence sometimes.

60. I want a dog, but not until I own a house.

61. I love cats.

62. I think that "Cats for company, Dogs for a friend" adage is mostly true.

63. I think its worth trying to change the world, no matter how little impact I make.

64. I do not care if you are gay, but if you want a Gay pride parage then I want a Straight Pride parade. Because it shouldn't matter.

65. I am just me.

66. I'm happy when some people accomplish their goals.

67. I would give anything to stop feeling sometimes.

68. I wish I cared more

69. I can be really selfish at times

70. I want to be able(if called upon) to take a bullet for someone. But although I would try to save them, I dont think I could be so selfless.

71. I'm not married.

72. I can't give up on some things even when I know I should.

73. I am an utter packrat.

74. I am too cynical.

75. I believe that racism is racism and the word has become twisted by politics.

76. I tend to be too literal and too convoluted at same time.

77. Political Correctness is the first and a very large step towards communism.

78. I often doubt myself.

79. i WILL be famous

80. at least in my world...

81. Equality does not mean that there will be equal divisions, just equal opportunity. Anything else is a lie and a detrement to the system.

82. I want some one who actually likes to discuss things beyond their own life.

83. i believe lust and love are both perfectly healthy. i believe it is what we do with these feelings that makes them unhealthy.

84. i always want to learn more about sex. it's fun to be a library on the subject when someone doesnt expect it.

85. I have days where I hate everything I am. (but not often)

86. I have days when I am grumpy and bitchy and depressed and inside I am very suprised by my actions.

87. Just because i am not smiling does not mean I am sad. And vice versa. I frown when I am lost in thoughts and wonderment and smile when i daydream. But I smile when Im sad becasue I don't want to be noticed. Being noticed usually means someone will want to know why. If I am cheerful but listless then you should worry.

88. There are times when I feel the need to be hugged.

89. I've been known to spotaneously give people a push.

90. I really hate touching anyone I dislike.

93. I want to be an activist one day.

94. I still want to be eccentric when i grow up.

95. I smile at sad memories sometimes.

96. I have faith in alot of things...

97. I have impure thoughts.

98. I watch people. And take mental notes. I forget the notes but the first impression remains. Therefore I like and dislike people for reasons I often don't recall.

99. most people haven't a clue what i'm capable of. i'm not as naiive as you think....

100. I love it when people tell me they love me. (i love it more when they mean it...)
