I seem to have an affinity for these countdown surveys. What can I say, I love countdowns, I love lists…it makes sense that I would love countdowns that involve lists.

Ten Things You Want To Say To Ten Different People:
10. Ah, you. So yeah, that was totally cool, your claiming that you’ll go on a date with me that one day and then never, ever speaking to me again for no apparent reason, despite the fact that we saw each other in band for a full three weeks after the fact. Classy.
9. I love the fact that our friendship has changed to the point where I’m taking the role of “person you’ll hang out with only when you feel you have an “obligation” to hang out with her.” I really dislike being treated like a second-class citizen now that things have changed. It makes me sad/angry.
8. Your life is not NEARLY as bad as you make it out to be. Seriously. Stop complaining, make a little effort to improve things, and you’ll realize that it’s not all that bad. Trust me.
7. What’s your deal, my friend? First you stalk me. Then you get completely upset with me for no apparent reason. Then you continue to stalk me despite my best attempts at completely ignoring you. Then you randomly chat with me on Messenger, despite the fact that I never respond back. I ask, wtf?
6. Where the hell have you been, and why weren’t we friends before?!
5. “Scenic!”
4. Okay, you know what? I’m calling this person out, cause it’s not really a person. It’s my BUSINESS CALCULUS CLASS. Three words, my friend: I hate you.
3. You are the sexiest piece of woman-meat this side of…well, anything. Just thought you’d like to know. Oh, screw it. Amy, this one’s for you. I love you, darling.
2. Why won’t you give me that freaking story you wrote? That was the funniest thing I’ve ever read in my life! I think you know who you are, too. Hehe.
1. YOU! Despite the fact that I don’t want to be in a relationship for some time now, you are the one person I’d make an exception for. I know you don’t read my blogs, but yeah. Just thought I’d let you know just in case you ever come across this (and I think you know who you are).

Nine Things About Yourself
9. I wish I were a male.
8. I can’t handle money to save my life. Banking and all things associated with monetary handling confuse me; I just want to keep my money in a shoebox. And I spend too much/give away too much/lose $20 bills on the street too much (true story).
7. I’m thinking my tattoo shall be the equation for the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (or Pearson’s r), and I shall get it on my back right above my shoulder blade on the right side. Check out the equation; it’s sexy.
6. Dragonflies scare the hell out of me.
5. I love puns. But I’m sure you knew that already.
4. My waist:hip ratio is .72, which is very close to .70, the apparent “ideal” waist:hip ratio for optimum fertility and apparently what men find most attractive. Hmm…
3. A week or so ago, I failed to blog about something very significant—for the first time in my life, I came across a situation in which I severely questioned my sexual orientation. Now I’ve confused myself.
2. Voltaire freaking ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF.
1. I really, really wish that I had born back during the French Enlightenment. Or about 15 or so years prior, so that I could have fully enjoy it.

Eight Ways To Win My Heart (gah, again?! Oh well…):
8. Remind me of Voltaire.
7. Be a man (or woman, or whatever, I don’t even know anymore) who appreciates the “finer” things…opera, fine art, philosophical discussions—all that prim and proper jazz that, on occasion, is really fun to indulge in.
6. Understand my geeky jokes. Or even better, make geeky jokes of your own.
5. Be unhealthily obsessed with at least one thing. I don’t know why I find that freakishly attractive, but I do.
4. Money? Don’t be overly concerned about it.
3. Speak French. Oh, my.
2. Just be you. No charades. But we can play charades, though, because that’s a fun game.
1. Five simple words: don’t fucking lie to me.

1. Stupidity that goes beyond just being naïve and unexposed.

Four Turn Ons:
4. I’m kind of into the emo/goth/all-black look right now. I think it’s sexy. Note I said the look and not necessarily the mindset.
3. Humor!
2. Heaviness, especially in the midsection.
1. The most important: INTELLIGENCE!
