I noticed a few posters claiming to have trouble thinking of 25 things to say about themselves. I find this amazing. There is so much worth knowing about every unique individual in the world.
So if you haven't tried yet, here are questions to help you get to 25. These are by no means exhaustive or the only good things to post about yourself, soI hope that you will think of a few random items as well:
- Why do you live where you live?
- What do you love about it?
- Would you ever want to live anywhere else?
- When you move, do you unpack everything immediately, or do you still have boxes unpacked years later?
- Do you have a great good or bad room mate story?
- Have you ever found true love?
- Did it find you?
- Did you lose each other again?

thanks, Nat... may I call you Nat?
This list would also be a fabulous springboard for blog post ideas...I'll be sure to come back when I need a hit of da muse.
Thumbed!
(unless I think of a realllly great idea first)
I like your list because it is both specific and essential. I'll take a risk and write answers to a few of these over the next couple of days. To hell with the fear that no one will read.
Warmly...
No fear, you have an audience. As long as I have internet, i'll follow along.
Did you find a spot to live?
