Collect anything: Literature, music and graphic novels.
Want to get married: Yeah, I think I could be into that idea, truth be told.
Type with your fingers on the right keys: My typing skills are, let us say, fucked up. I type fast, but I don't type traditionally by any stretch of the imagination. Comes from doing it wrong, but doing it wrong a lot for a long period of time and getting good at it.
Think you're attractive: Bah.
Get along with your parents: Like most people and their parents, I'd guess. Some of the time.
Get asked by friends for advice often: Ze Doctor *is* in...
Like thunderstorms: Oh, I love rain. I love going out and standing in the rain, just letting it pour down on me. Don't give a shit how soaked I get, I love standing in the rain.
Play an instrument: Can passably play guitar.
Have any quirks: Ask everyone else. I'm sure I do and just don't know what they are.
Have pets: Siamese cat named Marx who's asleep on the floor right behind my chair right now. He's sunbathing. Cats are, indeed, solar powered.
Like yourself: I get along with me. I'm fond of me. I'm not perfect and there's things I'd like to improve or fix, but I'm working on what I can, and what I can't, I'm trying to accept or outwait.
