Whoa. We have a lot in common- ie. Dirty Dancing.
I can't believe your father offered to get you a nose job. Sounds like he and my father should hang out. I think your nose is perfect. So there.

I can't watch people mop/sweep floors for this reason - people MISS bits. and they do it the LONG way...

fart is probably the worst word on this planet. I can't stand to hear it, say it, or type it. Additionally, underwear is insanity. I hate it.

Thats quite funny, Martha Stewart says if you stand in front of a mirror folding clothes, you get them perfect everytime!!!! It works:)>>>
