Top twelve lists - bragging and confessions

Things I am proud of:
1. I handle all of our finances
2. I made 8 euros in one sitting while singing and playing guitar near the Eiffel tower in paris
3. I have read over 400 books since high school graduation (I keep a record)
4. I only missed one question on the English section of the ACTs (I got a 35/36 in English, and a 31 overall)
5. I sang solo at my high school Baccalaureate- "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan. I think it's my only public performance that I didn't pick apart too much afterwords.
6. I found my own apartment and lived alone in Paris for 4 months
7. I graduated with 123 credits- the requirement is 120. In other words, I didn't take a single class that didn't count towards graduation. This is because I planned it all out my freshman year and I stuck to my plan
8. I make awesome crepes (almost once a week or so- whenever Kenny requests them)
9. I can read novels faster than anyone I know
10. I've never met a little kid who didn't seem to like me a lot
11. I've only been in a "raised-voice" fight with someone outside of my family on two occasions, both times were with roommates
12. I cannot purposefully physically harm another person- even when I try it comes out very weak because I am so afraid of causing pain (I'm not sure if this is really something to be proud of or ashamed of- but I like that I am naturally a "gentle" person)

Things I am ashamed of:
1. I have only worn my hair down once in the last 3 months- I always do the same unnotable pony tail. I also have a horrible habit of going 8 months between hair cuts. blech
2. I get horrifically irritable while shopping, especially if it is crowded and I feel like I'm in the way
3. As I've already established, I pass out at bad times
4. I can't keep a secret very well at all.
5. I've tried jogging but never made it more than a few blocks or so- running a mile would kill me, I swear
6. I love swimming but cannot do the typical hand-over-hand stroke. However, I can breast stroke pretty well.
7. I didn't learn how to dive until I was 19- my mom taught me because she couldn't' believe I didn't know how (one of the few times that mom has mocked me)
8. I have a horrible zit-popping/eyebrow-plucking problem. (I like feeling in control of my looks)
9. Sometimes I eat sugar. 4 or 5 tablespoons at a time. straight. with cake decorations
10. Lori keeps bringing up to me the various embarrassing times I have had upset-stomach problems that led to, ummm, embarrassing situations with no bathroom nearby. And there you have it- my only real secret I don't tell anyone is now on my blog.
11. My GPA at graduation was around 2.7
12. I have the hand-writing of a 10 year old
