5. I sketch, draw, paint, sculpt, scrapbook and design stuff.
6. I was homeless for 2 years.
7. I have around 30 journals completely filled and another dozen that are half filled. This is not because I like writing in journals... it is because I like buying cool looking journals and making my own. So I have to do something with them to reason getting/making more.
8. I have 2 degrees and am working on a third.
9. I love Dungeons and Dragons and have played since the age of 7 and still do today... when I get the chance to get with friends.
10. I do not really consider someone a friend until I have known them for 10-12 years... I have about a dozen of these friends. I like to feel comfortable that a friend will help me bury a body if need be. Even after a couple years, I don't think you know someone, after 10 years you really tend to know someone.
