I think this is the first meme I've ever done, though I meant to do that other one.

This is reposted after reading it on the lovely and talented artgeek's page.

1. I've come to realize that my butt:  Feels smaller in the palm of my own hand or someone else's than it looks in the mirror.  I'll take the feeling over the look

2. I've come to realize that when I talk:  I'm probably trying to get my brain in gear - for good or for ill.

3. I've come to realize that, if I love someone (not family):  I haven't figured out love or family yet, so if I say I've realized something here, I'd be lying.

4. I've come to realize that I need:  A great deal less than I thought I did in terms of stuff, and a lot more than I realized in terms of people and life.  It may be too much to ask.

5. I've come to realize that I've lost:  A very small amount in comparison to what's at stake.  The stakes are still high, and I'm still going to bet.

6. I've come to realize that I hate it when:  My mind chews on subjects it can't actually deal with anymore.

7. I've come to realize that if I'm drunk:  I'm having experiences most of my peers had many, many years ago, but it's okay to have done it on my time frame.  Also that being drunk one time may feel nothing like being drunk another, but sometimes it's similar.

8. I've come to realize that money:  May just be a means to an end, but it's a pretty fucking vital means.

9. I've come to realize that:  I'm more of a risk taker than I give myself credit for, and less of one than I'd like to be.

10. I've come to realize that I'll always be:  wondering why someone presumes they will always be something.

11. I've come to realize that I have a crush on:  my own personal houdini, but he, I and his darling beloved are all aware of that, and know nothing will come of it (most likely, as per the above).

12. I've come to realize that the last time I cried was:  this morning or last night, I'm not sure which.

13. I've come to realize that my cell phone is:  desperately in need of a new battery, or an overall upgrade.

14. I've come to realize that when I wake up in the morning:  I miss being the person I was in high school - hated mornings but was always up five minutes before the alarm, and out of bed as soon as she woke up.

15. I've come to realize that before I go to sleep at night I:  need to unwind more, and haven't figured out how.

16. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking about:  my stressful job and wondering why it's so much harder to find a good one.

18. I've come to realize that when I get on Facebook:  I will be highly confused as I have nothing to do with it.

19. I've come to realize that today I will:  make a new friend who will probably be transfered away from my city within the next month.

20. I've come to realize that tonight I will:  not make excuses, and do something for TAD, even if it's just this meme.

21. I've come to realize that tomorrow I will:  try very hard to tackle TAD better, and not freeze my patukis off.

22. I've come to realize that I really want to:  achieve that thing I didn't even realize was a possibility a month ago.

23. I've come to realize that the person who is most likely to repost this is:  unknown, as my neighborhood is so small, and the person I got it from is the person I'd expect to repost if she hadn't already done so.  Perhaps stefieayn will do so, but I won't hold it against her if she won't.

24. I've come to realize relationships:  are wonderful and amazing things, but don't get the credit they deserve for that, and thus often don't get the work they need to survive.

25. I've come to realize love:  isn't always enough to make something work.

26. I've come to realize my best guy friend(s):  would do anything for me, and always have my back.  They will also get me drunk when I'm not paying attention, and then blame it on their girlfriends.

27. I've come to realize my best girl friend(s):  are much harder to quantify, but are just as valuable as my guy friends.  I just wish someone had told my younger self this.

28. I've come to realize food:  doesn't need to be as complicated as I make it, and yet somehow continues to be that confusing.  I do hope I get it, though.

29. I've come to realize, when I'm a girlfriend I:  haven't figured out the meaning of the word yet.

30. I've come to realize women and men:  aren't really that different, when spread out over the whole of the human race, and are from completely different worlds when spread over individuals.

31. I've come to realize over the summer:  that it's okay to go for exactly what you want, and sometimes it's okay to disregard the advice of those who love you dearly.  Sometimes they are wrong.

32. I've come to realize heartbreak: happens.
