| × I hate my toes. | ✓ I did this meme even though I wasn't tagged by the person who took it before me. | × I have more friends on the internet than in real life. (You mean... they don't exist? Sorry, just because I haven't sat face to face with them all yet doesn't make them any less real. They can give me fictionalized information and I may lack some clues as to whether or not that's true, but the same thing can happen in person. I have friends. Some I've met in person.

(After watching his ashes scatter over the river, over the waterfall, and away, I can say without a shadow of a doubt: no, but he did anyway..) | × I need people to tell me I'm good at something in order to feel that I am. (I certainly feel better about it when they do - it's reassuring, to say the least.) |
| × I am a Libertarian. | × I can speak more than one language. | ✓ I can fall asleep even if the whole room is as noisy as it can be. |
| ✓ I would rather read than watch TV. | × I like reading fact more than fiction. (fact is not the opposite of fiction. Good fiction is full of facts, it just tells a story that never happened.

| × I am compulsively honest. | × I was born with a congenital birth defect that has never been repaired. | × I have danced topless in front of dozens of complete strangers. (If I had, it probably wouldn't impress them overly much.) |
| × I have gone from wishing I was a girl to revelling in being a boy to feeling like a girl again in the span of five minutes, and not cared a whit for my actual sex. | × I am unashamedly bisexual, and have different motivations for my desires for different genders. | × I sometimes won't sleep a whole night or eat a whole day because I forget to. (Forget - no, still have a few years before the memory gets that bad. Busy on something - writing, music, programming, reading, whatever - yeah.) |
| ✓ I find it impossible to get to sleep without some kind of music on. (Not quite impossible, but I prefer music on. Then again, if I had my way, we'd have crystal clear audio in every room of the house.) | × I dislike milk. | × I obsessively wash my hands. |
| × I always carry something significant around with me. | × Sometimes I'd rather wear a wig in day-to-day life than use my own hair. | × I've pushed myself to become more self-aware and thereby more aware of others. |
| × Even though I live on my own I still cry sometimes because I miss my mother. | × I hand wrote all the HTML tags in this document.

| × I do not 'get' most comedy acts. | ✓ I don't think strippers are money-greedy or slutty for dancing. | × I don't like to chew gum. (I'd say something about swallowing, but I know a few people out there would twist that to a different meaning...) |
| × I am obsessed with history/historical things and can't wait for someone to build a time machine so I can be the first to use it. | × I can never remember for the life of me where I parked the car. | × I had the TEEN ANGST thing going for at least 2-3 years. |
| ✓ I wish people would be more empathic and honest with each other. | × I play Dungeons and Dragons weekly. | ✓ I love to sing. |
| × I want to live in my mother's basement when I grow up. | ✓ I have a custom-built computer. | × I want to create a certain someone's babies, even though there's a 0% possiblity of ever achieving it. |
| × I would be in a relationship with one of my pets if they were human. | × I've gone skinny-dipping. | × I've performed in three plays. |
| × I enjoy burritos. | × I'm Irish and loving it. (I'm one-fourth Irish descent.) | ✓ I have a thing for redheads. (And blondes. And brunettes. And whatever else. Depends on my mood.) |
| × I am a twin! | ✓ Most of the times, I'd rather do something intellectual instead of doing something generically 'fun'. | × Once I set out to finish something, I always stay at it until it is completed before I move on to something else. |
| × I wish there were a way to erase past mistakes. (Nope. Made plenty of them, but I wouldn't undo any of them - even the big one(s).) | × I sleep more than 12 hours a day. | × I wish I could be prouder of what I've accomplished, but it's never enough. |
| × I need more time to myself. | × I wish I was more open-minded. | × I hope that I go really prematurely grey. (Ummm, yeah. There's bunches o' grey already, not as much as I expected by this age. But it's getting a bit too late to be considered premature if it all went grey tomorrow.) |
| × I download songs from the internet. | × I've just reenacted chapter 58 of Death Note with my best friend. | × I say random things to freak people out. |
| × I'm still a little mad about the ending of Death Note. | × I love playing Truth or Dare. | × I love listening to slow music, but I hate singing to it. |
| × Music helps me remember that I am not alone. (They could have stopped at "Music helps me" and I'd agree.) | × Playing my favorite sport makes me temporarily forget my problems. | ✓ I think this survey is particularly long. (Like a really long thing.) |
| × I prefer my LJ friends to my real-life ones. (LJ friends exist in real life. Shallow, immature POV to try to differentiate. It can only end in tears.) | × I can only hate someone that I love. (Deep philosophy there. Fortunately, people can think they hate people they don't know if they love. Best to try to keep hate a fleeting emotion.) | × I've ordered an extra two shots of espresso to an Americano at Starbucks. |
