What I find fascinating is not just the lists themselves - but what each of us chose to put in them. It's so neat to see how people see themselves and what's important. There are lots of things that others included but I left out (and vice versa, I'm sure) - which surprised me. I didn't mention my religion, my political views, or my appearance (other than to say I'm neurotic about my weight). It's not like I did that on purpose - I just find it interesting that I didn't think to include them.
Hmmm...
1. Tall
2. White
3. Blonde
4. Over educated
5. Cat lover
6. Ambitious
7. Motivated
8. Lots of fun on a road trip.
9. A bit OCD
10. Skis too fast.

There's stuff I left off on purpose. Like what I look like, when I said hippie, I meant mentality not the way I look or dress. I left off my physical traits because they don't mean much to me. I exercise and eat a certain way for health not for appearance. As for the order I put my list in, it's not really that I put the most important ones first, those were just the ones that popped up in my head first.
1. 5'5"
2. Slim and curvy
3. Creative. Hobbies include photography, drawing, and painting. Some of my works hang in galleries, and I've sold quite a few.
4. Love to meet new people, outgoing, friendly
5. Excellent at games--Jeopardy, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Balderdash, Articulate!, Taboo, Cranium, Apples to Apples
6. Athletic. Love running, hiking, tennis, swimming, jet skiing, horseback riding
7. Competitive
8. Generous
9. Loyal
10. Intuitive
11. Love to give parties and cook for friends
12. Love to laugh. I love intelligent comedy: films and TV shows (Real Time with Bill Maher, The Daily Show); comedians (Margaret Cho, Steven Wright, Dave Chappelle)
13. Tend toward being over responsible
14. Movie buff
15. Love to travel
16. Well educated, and like to learn new things
17. Sometimes stubborn
18. Cannot stand lying. If I catch someone lying to me, I drop them like a hot potato. If I can't trust you, you can't be my friend.
19. I have an excellent memory. I almost never forget anything. This came handy in school. I didn't really have to study much to get good grades because I almost always remembered whatever the teachers said.
20. I love coffee and am a coffee snob.

I didn't purposely leave off anything - I guess that's what I found so surprising! I didn't put them in order either - but I have a feeling that my first few really are the most important to me - that's why they popped in my head first. As for what I look like - I think I can be a bit vain - and although I do exercise and eat well for health reasons - it's also for appearance reasons. That's why I thought it was funny that I didn't put anything about what I look like on my list.
