I didn't want to resort to this...

I don't like REAL blogs to have questionnaires, but I thought I would JUST THIS ONCE, as long as it's particularly profound...

10 things you want to say to 10 different people:
1. I wish my dreams didn't have to be shattered by whatever you're going through, but I hope you find yourself through all of this. I can't say I'll be waiting at the other side, but I'd never turn you away.
2. I wish I didn't have to hurt you so much, and I wish you didn't hurt me back; we might have made it if I wasn't so broken, but as it is I'm not even a whole person to begin with. I wish I could go back and change it somehow, but I think it was an uncontrollable storm.
3. Meeting you has been like getting to know a soul mate that I never knew existed, and I love it! I think you could be a new best friend.
4. Meeting you has been like getting to know a soul mate that I always knew existed and it's great to finally know you! You have always been the one who knows everything about me.
5. You get me like no one else ever has or ever will. You see through my facades and know the REAL ME...I hope to never lose you.
6. You always tell me everything like it is, and even when it's harsh, I really appreciate it. It keeps me grounded.
7. I am glad that once all the crazy fun times were over, you and I were still friends after all. You've made everything a lot easier.
8. I hate it that you're gone. Really, really hate it.
9. I was really disappointed in what happened, but I will always love you no matter what you do
10. I have always been in love with you, ever since the beginning, and I believe that I always will see you as the best thing I've ever found and never had.

9 things about yourself:
1. I am passionately in love with little way that F. Scott Fitzgerald makes words go together.
2. I love being in love, and like The Format laments, I love it in spite of what it does to me.
3. My dreams are all mixed up in a crazy hope and a romanticized ambition...when it comes to knowing what I really want, well...that's a whole different story
4. I have a secret passion for dance music, and dancing, though I am positively terrible at it. There is something so exciting about going out dancing. It makes me feel like a modern debutante.
5. I adore my bed, but I don't spend anywhere near as much time in it as I ought to.
6. I have a weakness for designer handbags.
7. I'm really sorry to a lot of people because I often have a very self-centered appearance to my attitude, but I do love my friends more than myself. Most of the time, when I'm silent, I'm plotting to destroy someone who has interfered with someone I love (or some other less dramatic concern, but similarly related.) In short, I am a lot more likely to stay mad at someone who has hurt a friend than someone who has hurt me.
8. My dream of being a writer when I grow up has gotten more and more vague. I have realized that I am a writer always, whether I ever publish a book at all.
9. The best year of my life was when I was 22, and I miss it. This year has been the worst ever, as occasions of great lesson-learning is apt to be...

8 ways to win your heart:
1. Love the Lord with all your heart.
2. Mean what you say.
3. Be there for me when I need you.
4. Know who I am and love me for it. Don't try to change me. I'm too old for that now.
5. Be yourself with me, and don't lie. I won't judge you for who you are, or try to change you.
6. Cook for me.
7. Share books with me.
8. Be sweet to me and dream with me: I need to dream.

7 things that cross your mind a lot:
1. Someone I never stop thinking about
2. A top-secret project I've been working on, off and on, for 5 years
3. The great, mysterious future
4. Literary curiosities
5. Different songs that I love
6. Scenarios that could but never will happen, and so go into my fiction instead

5. Begin the love story with the love of my life, if such a person exists
6. Live the song "Kokomo" as my honeymoon (not kidding...this actually makes the list)

5 Turn Offs:
1. Social ineptness (in its many forms)
2. Arrogance or rudeness, even if it's a compensation for insecurity
3. Overt clinginess
4. A sense of humor that I don't understand, or a lack of appreciation for my fine-tuned sense of humor ;) hey...I work hard to be funny!
5. A lack of imagination

4 songs that describe your life:
1. If I Am - Nine Days
