This was on my Facebook but I figure everything of interest that gets written down should eventually be transplanted here.
1) I believe that people are either charming or tedious, and that good and bad aren't important.
2) I have a head completely full of words and sometimes they force their way out of me uncontrollably.
3) I have an addiction to physical contact that I have been unable to combat - any kind of touch to me is literally a drug. I don't really like this, because it motivates me to do things I'm not always proud of.
4) I wouldn't say I'm depressed or particularly happy. More, I swing from one extreme to the other. My highs are soaring and my lows are oh so low.
5) I have been in several relationships. Two were obsessives, one was normal (!), one went off with my ex, and one proved to me that love is the most damaging emotion in existence. I don't think I will date for a very long time. I tend to prefer 'casual arrangements' because I don't like to be emotionally vunerable anymore.
6) I have an unfortunate habit of becoming attached to people.
7) I am a great supporter of anything that alters your conciousness. The world comes into focus better if you're looking at it through the bottom of a bottle.

9) I love World of Warcraft and those who play it.
10) I believe that self-awareness is the most important trait anyone can possess.

12) I like the dark - the only times I actually like to leave the house are generally pitch black. I wander around a lot at night.
13) I have horrible horrible nightmares a lot of the time, but I'm reasonably well adjusted, I suppose.
14) I want to be a teacher, of English and Drama.
15) About the only saving grace my life has is my writing. I do a lot of it. I have a blog that I'm rather fond of.
16) I can play the tenor saxophone, though not very well. I haven't picked it up in a few months.
17) I have been and still am in love, though I've learnt not to listen to it. No good seems to come of it.
18) Music isn't my life, but it keeps my heartbeat in time.
19) I wish I spent more time around people and less time alone. When I'm with people, I feel the need to entertain them so they aren't bored, and that annoys me, but when I'm alone I'm bored anyway - so I suppose I wish I could be bored around other people and not uncomfortable.

22) CAN'T THINK OF ANY MORE FACTS OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.
23) Wait, got one. I smoke. I'm one of those self-hating smokers though so I'm pretty discrete about it.
24) I like you and would like to know more about you, spend more time with you, laugh with you. But I doubt I will.
25) I don't fear the future but I'm pretty suspicious of it. I think its up to no good.

I had to steal #25 for my FB status. HAD TO.
While I also count myself as agnostic, I can still find respect for individual believers. Admittedly, not for their religious views - they need to be respectworthy in other areas.
Like saying "I respect George Foreman. George Foreman is a Christian. Therefore I respect Christians," is grossly incorrect. I respect George Foreman for his boxing career (and his damn fine kitchen appliances!) and George Foreman is a pretty damn small sub-set of "Christians".
To apply an emotion for a small portion of a particular group to the group in it's entirety is discrimination.
I prefer to view the entire group "Religious People" as many tiny groups (not "Christians", "Buddhists", "Mormons", "Seventh Day Adventists", "Quakers", "Amish", "Satanist", "Hello Kitty Island Adventurists") but rather as individuals. When a group member is considered individually without the prejudice of belonging to that group, I can usually get a pretty good judgement of that person.
Of course, that doesn't mean that some people don't deserve the prejudices associated with their group - the gang members who are violent criminals, for example. But as long as there are gang members who are law abiding citizens, I am sure that there will also be religious people that are worthy of my respect, be they Jesus-loving volunteers at a soup kitchen or leaders of a worldwide religious movement.
