Who doesn't like a good list?

I love lists. When I was young and a struggling reading I remember my mom asking what kind of book I wanted to read. I told her I wanted to read of list of laws. She looked at me puzzled but really reading a list would have been a great way of reading when I lacked comprehension skills. I wouldn't need to comprehend much since each list item would only be a few sentences long. Now there are all kinds of books out there which are made up of list. Obviously my reading problems existed in the wrong time.
I have been doing a lot of thinking recently about where I am heading in life. In some ways I have been very successful such as in my career, family and friends. In others, mostly in the romantic relationship field, I have been less successful. Today I was thinking about people's perception of me. I know my perception of their perception is probably flawed but I still thought about it. Then I began to think about my perception of myself. After a bit I decided to create a list of things I didn't know about myself. So here it goes...
* I can actually enjoy a good hike. I remember a time when I despised hiking and thought of it as just waling in the woods. The transition from a hiker hater to lover has been a great experience.
* In the right circumstance I will dance and enjoy myself. OK it has only happened twice but still...
* I have a several secret passions that I don't like to share. How many men would like to learn how to crochet?
* I am a very secure heterosexual but I have been mistaken as gay at least once and maybe more.
* I tend to avoid conflict and hope it takes care of itself. At the same time I just do things some times to get what I want, which I think some people would label passive aggressive.
* I like to write but am afraid of putting things down on paper.
* I am afraid of failing most, which causes me not to act some times.
* I am a big fan (in all of its fashions) of WONDER...
