Let’s start with obliterating the death penalty. The “Eye for Eye” mentality is so neanderthal, let’s up the humanity a little bit.

How I did it
It made me
Relieved 
How I did it: I found a girl that I was very comfortable being around. We spent a lot of time together before we even talked about dating each other. We did finally start dating, so we were boyfriend and girlfriend when it happened. She is four years older than me and has had sex before, but she was very patient with me and made me feel comfortable about the whole thing. I think that was the key, that she treated the occasion with respect.I won't go in… Read how I did it…
It made me
Stable
How I did it: I met a girl who won't ever let me be alone (and yes, that's a good thing.) I used to stroll through mall for hours at a time by myself, not stopping any stores or anything. I would just listen to everybody around me, or I'd sit on a bench and peoplewatch. But now that I've got a girl to occupy my time, I no longer feel the need to meander the mall all by my lonesome.Which is good, because I got really tired of looking at couples everywhe… Read how I did it…
It made me
Confident
How I did it: Quite simple actually. As my girlfriend went to turn away, I grabbed her arm, spun her around and planted on right on her. Yes, I count this as making the first move, even though we were already together. I don't usually do that kind of thing (or didn't use to.) Read how I did it…

I have this weird urge to headbutt someone. I’ve never been in a fight in my life, and I’m not a violent person by any means, but I just hope that some day I have a good excuse to just grab someone by their shirt collar and slam my skull into theirs. I just want to experience what it feels like, what kind of killer headache I’ll get from it.
It’d be really cool if I could headbutt someone in defense of my girlfriend. I’m sure that would turn into a great night =D
I'm serious!

You might think this is ridiculous, but I NEVER return calls for people who aren’t my parents or girlfriend. I have people who call me all the time, trying to befriend me and get me to go out and do things, but I never return their calls. In fact, sometimes I read their name on my phone when they call me and I just put it back in my pocket, fully intending to completely ignore them.
These are people that I’ve known forever, too. My best friend from childhood calls me at least once a week. He keeps trying to get me to go kayaking and stuff (which I did do once) and I never call him back. My cousin (who was the equivalent of my brother growing up) drove all the way to my house to try and get ahold of me but I wasn’t home at the time.
I don’t quite understand why I don’t call people back. They want to be my friend. They want to do things with me and hang out. They’re not bad people by any means, just your average 18-22 year olds. Yet my “Missed Calls” list grows more every day and I never call them back.
One day, they’re gonna stop calling all together and I’m gonna miss them. Then I finally call them back and they’ll reject me, and I’ll hate myself for ignoring them. But I’m too blind to see it coming…
