101 Things you didn't know about me: Part II

Well, I'm expanding on my "101 things you didn't know about me" post, even though a lot of people know these things because well, it's taken me forever to write this and I need content.

Here we go:

  1. I once managed to talk myself out of a handicapped parking ticket while in a well-off intoxicated state.

  2. I am NOT handicapped, no matter what my friends think.

  3. I want everything I can't have. The sad thing is, I don't want much, but even the simple things are elusive.

  4. I make myself sound more knowledgeable than I am.

  5. I love to go driving, and gas prices really cut into that.

  6. As much as I tend to think practically, I lose my mind to my imagination constantly.

  7. I know exactly what I want.

  8. I lied, and have no idea what I want.

  9. I'd rather have a short meaningful relationship, than a long meaningless one, no matter what the cost.

  10. And I will always reserve the right to be hung up on it.

  11. I live in Detroit. I like my neighbors, I hate my taxes.

  12. I've began to drink coffee again. Religiously.

  13. Scratch that. No more coffee.

  14. I attempt to send postcards to PostSecret.

  15. ... only one made it to the mailbox.

  16. The rest were shredded.

  17. I don't drink as much as I used to.

  18. I know more than you think.

  19. While I enjoy a good drink, some nights I hate the cloudiness which develops.

  20. I like Michigan microbrews.

  21. I hate that I can't let certain things go.

  22. I hate that I let a lot of things go I shouldn't have.

  23. People deserve better than what I've given them in the past.

  24. Loyalty is extremely important to me. Don't break my trust.

  25. I collect gnomes. I have one in virtually every room of my house -- including the bathroom.

  26. Maybe I'm back on that coffee thing...

  27. I don't believe I will ever find another muse.

  28. It is possible that I may have begun to bury the sharpest of hatchets.

  29. Lipton Diet Green Tea with Citrus is completely awesome.

  30. I miss the ocean.

  31. I got myself a gym membership.

  32. I'm seeing life with a bit more clarity.

  33. Or not.

  34. I realize I've made mistakes in my life that disappoint other people.

  35. I recognize that I've learned from all of these experiences, and I know what I want out of life, even if it's too far from my grasp right now.

  36. I see the faults of other people's relationships, but I don't want to break the microcosm that they've built around themselves.

  37. ... even though it's easy to see it'd be better for them.

  38. ... I'm a dick like that.

  39. I still suffer from writer's block, but I may have the next script idea.

  40. ... but I'm not telling you. That'd be stupid.

  41. Now I'm occasionally drinking coffee. I keep changing my habits, dammit.

  42. I'm slowly becoming an iZealot. I don't have any iProducts other than an iPod. WTF?

  43. I second guess everything you say. It's just me.

  44. Happiness - true happiness - eludes me.

  45. I still humor the idea that you regret your actions as much as I do mine.

  46. My mind isn't clear.

  47. I'm still an honest drunk, even if I'm lying the entire time.

  48. I spend too much time looking for perfection.

  49. I sometimes wonder if my life would have been better if I had just joined the Marine Corps.

  50. I then wonder if I'd be wondering about this life instead.

  51. I hate that I'm jealous of people even when they are at their lowest.

  52. I still indulge the nerd side of me because sometimes I think that's the only side left.

  53. I sometimes think I've made too many mistakes in my life, and this is God's way of punishing me.

  54. "It's cold in October" and "E no longer equals MC squared" are some of the most honest lines I've ever written.

  55. My friends have the most beautiful children. It's amazing to watch them grow into the amazing people they become.

  56. I only sleep on one side of the bed.

  57. The other side is reserved.

  58. ... for who, I have no idea.

  59. I think I've lost most of my creativity -- I think it washed away with childhood.

  60. I'd really like to have a kid, but I need to find the wife first.

  61. I've still got a gift for someone and it's been over eight years.

  62. I still have delusions of grandeur.

  63. I still wish I could make a career as a filmmaker.

  64. I may very well be living my worst fears and not realizing it.

  65. I feel overwhelmed with my life.

  66. No connection.

  67. I miss shooting video at night in October evenings.

  68. Sometimes, I press the "reset" button on the NES, but it doesn't change anything, as life isn't a video game.

  69. I don't feel like I have any more stories to tell.

  70. I miss sitting in a diner with friends having good times with nothing but a few cups of coffee and our lives ahead of us.

  71. I don't like that I've ruined most of what I care about.

  72. I still have my old Masters of the Universe figures... somewhere... I think in the parent's garage attic. (They're still mine though!)

  73. I over-think simple aspects of life.

  74. I rarely feel rested after sleeping. Instead I feel just conscious.

  75. Sometimes, I don't think I've changed in fifteen years.

  76. Other times, I don't recognize who I was ten years ago.

  77. While I've been reading to better myself, I don't actually read all that often.

  78. I miss playing Intellivision, but haven't hooked the system up in ages, so I don't really have the right to bitch about it.

  79. I worry too much.

  80. I've been called a romantic and a hopeless romantic.

  81. I think I'm just hopeless.

  82. I'm hooked on Sugar-free Red Bull.

  83. I like the taste and boost of "Cocaine" better.

  84. Some things are just not worth fighting for. I know that now.

  85. ... and yet, some are.

  86. Liquid courage sometimes equals liquid amnesia.

  87. ...or even a faux sodium pentothal.

  88. Drunk texting isn't a hobby. It's a way of life.

  89. I recognize the barriers people put up.

  90. I wish people were more honest with their thoughts than they have been, even if it hurts.

  91. I go over conversations I want to have. Nightly. They never happen.

  92. I wish certain people in my life knew how much I respected them, but there never seems to be a grand enough way to let them know.

  93. I hate the way I end up blogging about my emo states, but otherwise have nothing else to say.

  94. I think dairy is slowly trying to kill me.

  95. I sometimes hate people based on the fact that they exist.

  96. ... and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

  97. "We were merely freshmen." That was the lyric which reminds me of spring break 1997 -- An interesting time in my life.

  98. 1997 may have been the best year of my life. There was a lot more on the horizon back then.

  99. All of this emo crap aside, I'm actually feeling more positive on the whole.

  100. I don't plan on writing out another list like this. It took over a year to get halfway through this one. Hell, even this one seems incredibly rushed.

EVERYONE loves that diet Lipton green tea citrus stuff. It's like the crack of the grocery store.

Also, I have a hat to mail you. Apparently out post office is never open when I am off work though. You may be getting a package from a big, national law firm soon. I mean---not that I would abuse the office mail.
