1. I hate broccoli.
   
2. I have webbed toes. Yes, really.
   
3. I went to Catholic school for four years. It was not traumatic. I really liked it there.
   
4. If there were money in it, I'd probably just stay in school forever. I enjoy academia.
   
5. I am almost always late. I keep trying to fix this, but I mostly fail.
   
6. I told my high school guidance counselor I wanted to be a zamboni driver.
   
7. I used to watch The Little Mermaid almost every day. (I was five.) For my sixth birthday, I had a The Little Mermaid themed party.
   
8. I've only left North America once. I went to London for ten days and thought it was completely awesome.
   
9. I can't leave the house in the morning without eating breakfast. Unless, of course, I'm leaving to go out to breakfast.
   
10. In high school, I was a page at the public library, and I was very particular about books being in the proper order. I can't be bothered to put my own books in any kind of order. They're arranged by size because they fit best on the shelves that way.
    
11. I studied Italian for four years.
    
12. I want to live abroad sometime in my life.
    
13. I am completely unorganized.
    
14. I spend most of my time looking at a computer screen.
    
15. I am the last cylon. Okay, not really.
    
16. I really want some ice cream right now.
    

I started the first five items with the letter "i", then I couldn't change it because it would look wrong. Clearly I am insane.

I think half my flist has done this already, so I just tag anyone else who's interested.

I went to the state university in my city, so it was inevitable I'd have friends that also went there. You went to New York though, right? They always advised freshman against signing up for rooms with people they knew, but some did it anyway. More than two in one room definitely doesn't give you enough space. We had four, and the only reason we weren't always in each others hair was because our room was part of a suite, so there was a separate living room we could go to. That's good that at least one of your roomies was good, otherwise that would have been horrible to deal with all year.

That's cool that your alarm does white noise! I sometimes do incorporate the music on the radio into my dreams, so that's a persistent danger. If I'm really worried I won't wake up I set the alarm on my cell phone too.

Yes, I went to New York. There were some high school classmates there, but no one I knew well.

But my alarm doesn't "do" white noise, really. I just set it to a radio station that doesn't come in. :)
