26) My hair used to be like lau's, then I grew it long and after brushing it every day it became straight.

28) I love balsamic vinegar
29) If you added all the cpu clock cycles in my dorm room you'd get over 20GHz.

3. I really like romantic-comedies.
4. I think people who believe in God are weird but that they have every right to do so.
5. Despite being overweight I'm a pretty damned good skier.
6. I don't like summer.
7. I've been single now for nearly 2 years after two consecutive long-term relationships and it's starting to get to me.
8. "Chundles" is a nickname formed from an older nickname.
9. Sometimes I like to post inflammatory or rude responses to stir the pot.
10. I know mad jew's real name.

15. I'm hungry right now.

18. I've got a thing for red-haired girls but I've never been out with one.
