21 is 5 more then my age - but not for long

I got tagged by annabeL to make a list of 21 things about me. If you read this you're automatically tagged.

1. I'm terrible with secrets unless you specifically tell me not to say anything to anyone
2. I always start diaries and never keep them up for longer than a month at a time
3. I admire nice people so much that sometimes I cry
4. I will travel as far as I have to at any hour of the day/night to get something that i want
5. Every time I pass an intersection in the car I flinch and hold on to something in case someone crashes into us
6. I like songs that don't quite make sense and still mean the world to people
7. I really like mashed fruit as a drink
8. Sometimes I buy things i think are cool at the time but then I get scared of others thinking I am lame and I never wear them
9. I crack my knuckles mostly to gross people out and 'cause I like the feeling
10. I stopped liking hot chips one day
11. I open up solitaire all the time, decide I didn't really want to play and then close it again, only to open it again a few seconds later.
12. The clarity of my glasses frightens me sometimes
13. I can't concentrate if I feel unclean or hot so I have to go shower/wash my hands/face a lot
14. Cockroaches are the most foul things to inhabit the earth. They trigger my gag reflex and make me feel dirty(see 13) if they get too close
15. My dad thinks the accents I do are hilarious, not many others do
16. I love conversations on msn that are just song lyrics back and forth
17. I've started developing this ability to take everything I know and everything I feel and putting it into a metaphorical box, and opening the boxes when I need to
18. I'm either really shy or really loud or compensating for being shy with being loud
19. I always imagine what would happen if something about me was different or if I died
20. I have good directional skills, if I've gotten somewhere once, I'll remember how forever
21. I hate when people I don't know/like think that its okay to talk to me for anything other than exchanging information that is imperative to our survival

Peace x

and the optometrist said 'let there be sight!'

and sight was given to the young girl, and she saw that it was good.
[/biblical puns]
So yes, I got new glasses today and I'm really enjoying being able to see - Everything is so crisp and 'shiiing' (If you don't understand - that's an onomatopoeic word for the noise a sword makes when you pull it from your sheath in a valiant way).
I would have uploaded a picture of me in them, but for some reason every photo I take of myself makes me look like a vanilla rapist, no joke. So if you know me you'll have to wait untill you see me next to have a look, if you don't know me then.. it probably won't have you losing sleep at night anyway. Besides I think about one maybe two people actually read this so it doesn't matter either way.
The downside of having clear vision, is i noticed the state of my complexion and my eyebrows - both of them are an awful sight despite my best efforts and hygene. So I apologise to everyone who has to look at my eyebrows and skin - maybe if you squint I'll just blur.
That's enough for now,
Goodnight

ps. Happy Birthday Chiara
