I'm impressed that people can come up with 100 things about themselves on the spot (though I imagine it took a little while). I feel pretty self-observant; I guess I just find it hard to break people down (myself, particularly) into factoids.

I'm with you on the pen thing, though. Mine is a Uniball Vision Micro in black. I did blue for a long time 'til my girlfriend who was in India broke up with me while I was in France and I became horribly bitter. Black ink seemed more fitting for my mood at the time, and I've stuck with it since (though my mood's improved).

What's a "girl crush"?

Occasionally, I get innocent crushes on girls. I really don't think I'm bi, but I think girls are pretty.

Of course girls are pretty. I really like this post; don't think I'd have the guts to put one of my own out.
