Are you obsessive?
I think I've definitely got some obsessive qualities, for example: My living and work space has to be organised and put away. If there are things out of place or not where they should be it bothers me. I also make up my bed every morning, which I guess is strange for 99% of you out there. Girls also dig a man that can do some things around the house like cooking/cleaning/etc... what can I say? I'm the all-inclusive package :)

Would you eat a live hamster for $1,000,000?
Are we talking US or TT here? For a million US I'd do just about anything, including eat a live hamster - I don't need all the bells and whistles this world has to offer, but financial stability is definitely something I'm trying to achieve, even if it means the end of a cute, little, furry, woodland creature... yum!
