Things About A Person Who Is Me

My sister posted a similar list of things about herself.
I was mostly intrigued by the similarity and the differences between the way the two of us would answer these questions, so I am reposting it here.
Enjoy, and don't get worried or anything.

I am: an actress.
I think: it's later than it is, frequently.
I know: "the plans [He] has for me," but often I don't listen.
I have: a passport, a drivers license and a small suitcase. How would you feel about just getting the fuck out of here?
I wish: hearts and minds either kept separate, or decided to agree on anything at all.
I hate: being under appreciated.
I miss: being understood.
I fear: not succeeding.
I hear: that there is still time for me.
I smell: coffee, and smile.
I crave: attention.
I search: for people on the internet sometimes. I just wanted to know who you were before, so I could help you grow.
I wonder: what unanswered phones mean.
I regret: the impossibility of friendship.
I love: people.
I ache: when I feel a little lost.
I am not: that naive, I'm just hopeful.
I believe: in a lot of things you might make fun of me for.
I dance: to old 80's songs, or when I feel like you need cheering up.
I sing: karaoke. But never in church.
I cry: infrequently.
I fight: with people who don't realize we're fighting.
I win: at Scrabble.
I lose: gloves.
I never: go a day without showering.
I always: remember what I was doing the first time I heard my favorite songs.
I confuse: advice with condescension.
I listen: if you aren't creepy.
I can usually be found: making the same mistake over and over.
I am scared: when people look me too forcefully in the eye.
I need: very little.
I am happy about: poetry.
I imagine: graduating.
I can't: be unaffected by words.
I say: "I'm sorry" too much. Usually, I mean "I love you."
I write: vaguely, but I try to be poignant.
I play: the guitar, poorly.
I must: have listened to this song a hundred times today...

I am sadder when it rains than when the sun is shining, but I would take clouds and rain over just plain, droopy, gray and white clouds covering the sky any day.
It has been cloudy for days and days in Ypsilanti.

So there you have it.
