Make friends where you live. If you honestly think that someone you've never physically interacted with can be considered a friend, or if you think that's a healthy relationship, then you have serious issues.

4) One of my favorite movies is Mr. and Mrs. Smith 😱
5) Another is 300.
6) I'm apparently 1/16th Scottish... or 1/32th... I prefer not to think about it.
7) My iPhone runs my life.
8) I've spent well over £100 on iTunes in the last year (including App Store).
9) I'm trying to learn Objective-C but seem to be re-reading the same chapters again and again.
10) I once fainted in the toilet, hit my head on the loo and cracked the seat.
11) I want to be a doctor but have fainted numerous times at the sight of my own blood (fortunately I'm fine with other people's blood 😛 ).
12) This is harder than I thought.
13) Everyone should watch this video: 25 Random Things - Miley Cyrus Parody
14) My IQ has gone down in the past 2 years 😡
15) I cant wait till I have 500 posts, I have the perfect avatar lined up.
16) I love watching movies based on comic books (Spider Man, Iron Man, Hulk etc).
17) I like to think I'm fairly well organised, but in reality I'm probably not.
18) The volume on the TV has to be set to an even number, even if I'm not in control of the remote.
19) I have to take an even number of foot-steps on each surface that I walk on as I walk along... so if it changes from tarmac to dirt, I have to have made an even number of footsteps on the tarmac before I go onto the dirt... if this doesnt happen naturally I'll brush one foot along the ground to make it so, or will do a little skip to make sure it happens.
20) I'm weird and think I have OCD.

You have OCD-tendencies but I don't think you have real OCD. People with OCD are usually extremely anxious if their obsessions are not satisfied.

Such relationships can indeed be counted as friendship, and there is no need or justification for you to be so judgmental.

5. My favorite band is Rilo Kiley.

7. I have a fear of having a son someday who decides he's going to be into sports, which really makes #6 a problem.
8. My favorite movie is The Big Lebowski.

15. I've bought/sold way more iPods over the past few years than I care to mention 🙂
16. I'm borderline OCD with a lot of things, particularly at work. I'm pretty sure it annoys a lot of people.

I have the exact same thoughts on 17. Favorite city, but its everyones favorite city.
18. My hair is falling out too. i need to learn to accept it.
 
1. I broke grandpa's TV at age 2 -- but to this day, I'm still NOT sure how I pulled that off.
2. I lost a shoe while being carried around at the zoo, also at age 2, and wasn't discovered until about two hours later. The shoe, to this day, remains missing. Be on the lookout for it.
3. I got rejected for four years straight for taking flying lessons until the flight school owner got tired of saying no and figured he might as well as take my money.
4. First Mac was the SE in 1987 running System 5.0.something. That and Microsoft Word came on a couple of 800K HFS floppies. Ah, remember these days?
5. It's a really long story, but I once was unwittingly given some cash stolen from America's then-biggest armored truck heist of over $10 million in 1990 (right by my alma mater, no less!), years later. The FBI searched really hard for years and eventually fingered an Irish priest, the armored truck driver (who burnt some of the money in a BBQ grill before the cops arrived), his father, and a few others. Crazy case.
6. Walked up the Netherlands' highest church's staircase -- by the last 25m, I was literally on my hands and knees in total darkness. Fun experience.
7. I once hit on a nasty mainframe bug and killed it merely by pressing an innocuous key on my terminal. Oops.
8. 230 kph on a German highway once. Afterwards, 100 kph seemed like crawling.
9. Good childhood friend and classmate of a Harvard grad and now an university professor elsewhere. Her husband was my classmate at another high school a few states away. Small world, huh?
10. Once told a cute young lady (years ago) that she wasn't such so cute when she was plastered. I don't think she was amused. 😀
11. Missed the last bus and got stuck at a major DC-area mall (northern Virginia) when it closed, along with two other friends when I was 14. Buddies went to play arcade games even though the screen was down, security guard wasn't thrilled with babysitting, and the school was FURIOUS -- days of detention followed. In middle of all this, a drunk guy offered to drive us back to the school despite his girlfriend screaming 'are you crazy?!' at him. We nearly took him up on that offer!
12. Enjoyed frozen chunks of raw whale and caribou meat with some pretty cool eskimos in the arctic last winter.
13. Thinking about a trip to see Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the Australian outback and also hike the Inca Trail to Machu Pichu in Peru sometime. Pointers gratefully appreciated.
14. Once unintentionally ate all the chicken fingers at a friend's house one busy night of gaming years ago. To this day, his step-mother still jokes about it but at least I've finally paid off that debt!
15. No car accident yet. Probably just jinxed myself just now.
16. Conversed briefly with doctor in Russian, which was fun.
17. Grandpa's boss was none other than J. Edgar Hoover for a while... and then later, a well-known President of the United States. He didn't mention his boss' fondness for cross-dressing, though.
18. Only 48 songs to my name in iTunes -- and all of them are Blue Man Group. Yeah, baby! They rock!
19. First dabbled with HTML in May 1993.
20. Crusty old fart. 😀

11. I was afraid of swimming in the deep end of the pool until I was like 13 (our teacher used to dunk us under the water which kind of put a downer on learning to swim).
12. Am a reformed Mac hater, os 8 & 9 can still go to hell as far as I am concerned.
13. I once got caught with a girl in the front room of my friends house, we may have been too drunk to find a room.
14. I hate about 60% of the people I meet.
15. Parents are divorced
16. I am a video game fanatic
17. I hate ice cream
18. Id rather not live in Kansas, but its cheap while I am in school.
