Some realizations:

1.) I can't sleep when there is no moon. When there is a full moon I sleep best.

2.) I sleep well when it's storming outside. Whether it's a wind storm, snow, rain, thunder, lightning, or hail, I just plain sleep better when there is a storm outside (excepting for when the moon is full)

3.) I'm actually more of a Moderate Democrat than anything else. It was strange to think about how over time my views have changed from strongly Conservative and Republican to Moderate and Democratic.

4.) Despite having many people tell me I'm an attractive person, I've had a crapload of people say no when I either indicate interest or ask them out. I have turned down my fair share of people, but it's sort of like I'm a magnet for "no." Either I'm saying it or someone else is.

5.) I feel deprived when I don't exercise for more than two days. Right now, four days of no exercise (midterm exams) and my body is screaming and feels all... jellyish, despite weighing 150lbs. at 5'11".

6.) I drive too fast. This needs to be changed. I consistently go 9 mph above the speed limit... 10mph and they slam you with a higher pay grade for the ticket, so 9 is safe in terms of not paying as much, but better to take another minute or two to get where I'm going than to have to pay a hundred dollars and get killed by the parents.

7.) I'm seriously detached from family and friends. Not like I can't talk to them, don't relate to them, don't like their company, but I very easily can isolate myself from them without feeling any seperation problems. 'I am an island'

8.) Being 18 is different from being 17 only in the eyes of the law. Nothing has changed in my life. I'm not a porno addict, I don't smoke, I haven't had a chance to vote, and I don't buy lottery tickets. I did get signed up in the draft, but that has such a slim chance of ever happening that it's basically forgettable.

9.) *male oriented realization here* I'm neither a boob man nor an ass man. I find it disgusting when either are too big or loose or gross. Give me a fit female with a pretty face, some semblance of intellect, and I'm happy.

10.) I feel no attraction to the "dumb-blondes." If I can't hold an intelligent conversation with a girl, no way I'm going to go out of my way to spend time with her.

11.) My religious beliefs are roughly Satanic Buddhism. Look into the Church of Satan, you'll see what I believe (for the most part). Buddhism also contains many values which I live by. Kind of a strange mix for someone who was raised in a Presbyterian household...

12.) I actually enjoy reading, I just don't have enough time to read as much as I would like.

13.) I enjoy working with animation software (3ds max, maya). I initially thought I would much rather use Inventor and AutoCAD, but after a few months, I've realized that animation is a lot of fun.

Just the short list of a senior in high school. Thank [insert name of your religious deity] that midterms are over.
