I'm doing 16 things
21. I always attempt to be as absolutely nice as possible, even to people I’m not quite fond of. It’s better to be polite than make a needless enemy.
22. I get paranoid after watching paranormal television shows.
23. I love to travel. It’s important to me to see as much of the world as I can before I die, just so I can look back on it on my deathbed and think, Well, that was nice.
24. I am a raging extrovert and proud of it.

12. I’ve been known to bake cakes for friends without any prompt.
13. I love to send people flowers.
14. Marilyn Monroe was—and still is, frankly—the most beautiful woman ever. Oh, what I would give for the chance to live in a simpler time when it was actually okay for a woman to be voluptuous and we didn’t have to starve ourselves for public acceptance.
15. Last night, I made tempura (deep-fried seafood / vegetables) for my friend, Dan, for the first time ever. It turned out nicely. :]
16. I like to surprise people.
17. I always do things to better myself. I’m constantly changing, reinventing things—but I’m determined to always be the kind of person I want myself to be. I don’t want to waste my life playing a role.
18. It’s amazing what you can hear if you actually listen.
19. I never throw things away if they hold memories. Letters, notes, photographs, gifts [even the bad ones]. It’s important to me to always remember things.
20. I don’t know what I’d do without my cat. He really is the closest thing to a best friend I’ve had in a while.
Take it from someone who’s been there—anorexia isn’t anything to strive for. One cannot simply become anorexic simply because they want to: Anorexia nervosa is a serious, life-threatening mental disorder and is nothing to be celebrated.

I’m involved in a ballet company, and I’ve seen how eating disorders can literally destroy a person—not to mention that I’ve experienced it firsthand. It consumes you. It ruins you.
And, frankly, the fact that any of you want this is completely and utterly repulsive.
