I copied PhotoMommy's idea here. Not sure how I felt about it, but looked at it as a "journey".

"58. I like to get my eye brows waxed"
I was kind of skimming these in between bites of lunch, and the first time through I read that as "58. I like to get my brown eye waxed." I got a couple of numbers further down, then did a double-take when I realized what (I thought) I'd read. :)
Good list. You know yourself better than you give yourself credit for!
LoL Sean. It is an odd little list I've got here.
I think I really do know myself-it's the accepting of said self I have problems with.
I can relate to most of the things you wrote, especially the parts about love, relationships, and insecurities.
I broke things off with my boyfriend on Friday and I haven't been as miserable as I thought I would be. It's still hard to give up something I put so much hope into, but at the same time I feel really free. I've decided I'm going to take this time to get out of my shell, get more involved with the world, do and learn everything I've been putting off and attempt to make more friends.
Maybe you should consider letting him go and working on the things that haunt you.
I wish you good luck with whatever you decide to do and I hope that you can be happy in your own skin. Seriously :)
Feel free to email me if you ever need to vent.
Thanks for joining in! Now we have to get Missy to do this!
That's not true. I know plenty of crazy dog ladies.
maybe I will have to do it. maybe.
I did enjoy reading this. if you want to borrow one of my kids, I'll send them your way.
