I like watermelon flavored candy alot more than the actual watermelon itself, and vice versa for coconuts, though I don't like coconut and coconut flavored candy/cake/snacks/etc. in general.

I scrounge for pop cans early in the morning around 4, three days out of the week.

I always make the same mistake of jumping around on the occassion that I'm wearing high-heels. It's a habit. There's just something about wearing high-heels that makes me want to skip around and jump up and down like a little girl.

Marceline is my favorite character from the cartoon Adventure Time. I love watching her episodes over and over. She's one of my main imaginary friends now. I did a sketch of her and Barnabas Collins (from the upcoming Dark Shadows movie) in Adventure Time style holding hands with their unnamed (as of now) young daughter who I made up. Yep, in my world, Barnabas and Marceline are a couple. Hopefully it's a better vampire love story than Twilight. :wink:

In addition to Marceline/Barnabas (or "Barnaline" as I like to call it), my other favorite couples are Mad Hatter (Depp version)/Pinkie Pie (in human form) and Edward Scissorhands/Fluttershy (in human form). What is with me and making up couples where Johnny Depp characters hook up with cartoon chicks?

Mr. Belvedere was my favourite TV show when I was 12.

I have a unique (I think) ability to completely shut myself off from all emotions. I can run on auto-pilot for days and not feel anything. It's odd, but my grandfather died two days ago and yesterday my husband left for a month of pre-deployment training (he's in the Army) and I feel nothing. I don't miss either of them. I don't feel love, regret, anxiety. I don't feel guilty for not feeling it either. I'm sure I should feel something, I should weep or fret or obsessively snuggle a t-shirt or something. But I'm not, and I wont. I learned how to do this as a teen and it really comes in handy when people die.

(Note: I'm not crazy. Emotions are messy. They are violent and messy and require more explanations than I can articulate while feeling them.)

I'm kind of envious of your ability to shut off your emotions like that. How did you teach yourself to do that? I'm much too sensitive and emotional. I overreact to just about everything. It seems as though my primary emotions are sadness, fear and anger. The thing is, I've lived a tragedy-free life compared to other people - I've just had problems dealing with mental illnesses and bullying. I'm really scared that when a major tragedy does happen in my life (not if, when - it's only a matter of time), I'll have a massive breakdown and wind up in a mental hospital. An ability like yours would be invaluable to someone like me.

I like to collect cool-looking glass bottles.

Oh yeah, and this afternoon I came up with another couple, which is Finn (from Adventure Time)/Alice (from Alice in Wonderland 2010). The Adventurer and the Champion... What could be better? :D Of course, in my world, Finn is aged up from being 12 to being 19, the same age as Alice, because otherwise that would be :eew:

Wow, I'm jealous! I totally want my own laptop. Well, the computer I have is already more or less mine, but I hate having to share it with my family when they have to do school/work stuff. I also feel pretty isolated in my room when I want to use the computer and they all want to watch TV. If I had a laptop, then I'd be able to sit on the couch with them and surf the web while they watched their shows. I think I'm going to have to get rid of this computer soon anyway, since it's running very low on disk space and I had an issue with the hard drive a couple of weeks ago...

I collect notebooks and diaries, borderline obsessively. I write in them, too, so it's not a totally uselessly expensive hobby, right? Riiiiiight?!?

So do I. There's too many pictures I like to just stick to a single one.

In about an hour I have to go tell someone something that's going to totally make them angry.
