1. I rarely go to movies. 2. I watch crime shows and cartoons almost exclusively. 3. I don't like my food to touch at dinner. 4. When eating sandwiches, I eat the meat first, then the bread. Never together, and never in a different order. 5. I don't know how to cook rice. Anything else but rice is alright. Rice just has me stumped. 6. I try not to delete any old emails. 7. I use the words "oh", "really", and "well" a lot. 8. I insist on putting commas before the "and" in a list. 9. I love lists. 10. I will go out of my way to avoid talking on the phone.

1. i can't sleep in dark rooms because i keep picturing spiders sneaking up to me 2. I usually have to force me to do things (like homework) and suddenly realize it is quite fun and then I'm sorry I'm already finished (does that make sense?) 3. i keep mixing up words from different languages usually its German and English or Spanish and French. Especially after the summer when I've spend most of my time watching season after season of my favourite shows in the original English version: I'm back in school in my German lesson and don't know what some things mean in German. 4. i love to bake but because it's only my mom and me I take every chance I get and everyone around me gets tons of muffins, cakes, cookies etc for their birthdays 5. I would do almost everything for chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips ;D 6. I'm obsessed with my cute little puppy Aki 7. I have never cared about nutrition but since I've Aki I've read like a million books about how to feed a puppy 8. I can't stick to one thing for a long time because I easily get bored so I played tennis, archery, realized I'm not the kind of person who gets along with horses (long story), I tried calligraphy, drawing, played harp, taught myself how to play piano and harmonica, I learned Latin etc. 9. I have to read every book from a series if a new one is published so guess what will happen before the last harry potter 10. I talk while I'm asleep and when you wake me up in the middle of the night I might talk to you but not remember a word in the morning. I once woke up standing in my moms bedroom and talking to her. But that was when I was little. My grandpa did that too when he was a kid but it never happed again once he grew up.

I think I have to agree with you about the dark room thing.

I also agree about the dark room thing, I don't like it being just as dark whether my eyes are open or closed for some reason.
The book trip thing is a really good idea!
1. I am a baby person. I love babies. On public transport I'm the one pulling faces at babies.
2. I have a complex about posession. I hate watching movies about it and it really freaks me out. I know it's illogical but I can't help being frightened of it. After seeing the exorcism of emily rose I had difficulty sleeping for weeks. I think it's an anxiety thing.
3. I have a wonderful boyfriend that I liked from the age of 13 and started going out with at 18. He's doing combined law and forensic science at uni which involves gross stuff.
4. I used to tap dance, I wish I still had my tap shoes I used to love it.
5. I like being creative but I'm overly critical of all of my writing.
6. I feel really sick at the moment because I ate a dodgy pavlova at a party last night that had been sitting in the hot house for 3 hours without my knowledge. I have had my first bit of food today a little while ago, it's now 6:47pm.
7. We have a pet chicken. It's name is speckle. It has no speckles anywhere on it's body.
8. I'm not an accomplished cook. My only specialty is brownies. It took me 4 tries to boil an egg properly last week.
9. I love going to the movies. It makes a film more of an experience than what a dvd does.
10. I don't like banana cake or pumpkin

1. I grew up in a small town with a big harbour and lots of fishermen around, but I won't eat fish or seafood.
2. I'd much rather buy a book than a piece of clothing, so my bookshelves are full but my wardrobe is in a sad state.
3. I work in a goverment office and I enjoy wearing army pants and Emily the Strange t-shirts to work, just to see the look on my manager's face!
4. I've got three tattoos and they all mean something very important to me.
5. I'm not immature but I'm scared of growing up so big decisions like buying a house or having kids scare the heck out of me - but I didn't think twice about getting married, I just knew he was the one for me!
6. My years at university taught me not to think very highly of engineers.
7. I'd love to have a pet pig.
8. I've had a car since I was 16 but I hate driving and walk to work everyday, rain or shine!
9. Whenever I'm out with my niece and nephew, everyone just assumes I'm their big sister, which is pretty awesome!
10. I love going to football and hockey games.
11. I get along much better with my in-laws than I do with my parents!
12. Milk is by far my favorite beverage.

1. I don´t get along with "grown-up-drinks" like coffee and alcohol. I hate the taste but I love cocoa and tea with lots of milk. 2. I like my toast toasted but only very little so I take it out after a short while which gets me odd looks. 3. I love to get as much culture as possible into my brains while traveling but as soon as someone else takes the lead I can´t stop yawning at everything. 4. When I´m studying or cleaning my room I like to listen to something but not music so I listen to dvds. 5. I make lists. Tons of them and I collect them in a box. 6. Sour sweets give me eye twitches. 7. I love the sea but I´m not a water person. 8. I´m a quite good baker and cook but I think it´s embarassing "housewife-y" 9. I only ever write with pens, everything else ends in a mess. 10. I always wear earrings and always matching ones.

YAY, someone else who doesn't "do" coffee. I can't stand the stuff, and no one I've ever met seems to understand why.

I tried everything. Coffee, cappuccino with chocolate, caffe latte, etc. I just can´t ignore the coffee taste, even if its barely there. Why aren´t there as many cocoa variations?

I started on cappachinos with a shot of caramel flavouring. I now have a coffee addiction but I only drink cappachinos or milk coffee.
Try getting a cappachino with choc flavouring like you have been getting but with a half strength of coffee in it?
