Day One: A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.
1. I love to sing.
2. I have never had a nose bleed.
3. I hate most parties, but like being invited.
4. I tire easily.
5. I like to sleep with Conference talks playing.
6. I often let my beard grow out for a few days, but it will always be gone by Sunday (or earlier, depending on who I'm seeing).
7. I love massages.
8. My greatest fears include disappointing others, going deaf, and losing the use of my hands or right foot.
9. Though I like being acknowledged and won't turn down an opportunity when it is given, I always feel a little awkward when I'm in a social setting and someone asks me to play a song on the piano, because I can't stand showoffs and I don't want to look like one.
10. A pet peeve: people who take a harmless joke seriously and try to correct the obvious fallacy in it.
11. Aside from regular activities, I like to spend a couple hours at my church during the week. I go to practice the organ, but stay for the grand piano and the solitude. I love an empty chapel (except on Sunday, of course).
12. I will (almost obnoxiously) find the bright side in any situation.
13. I love lilies.
14. I refuse to use the term "LOL."
15. I love to dress formal.

:) Nice list! I go into too much detail in almost all of mine, haha. For some reason, the fact that you don't like parties surprises me- you're so outgoing! But, funnily enough, I don't like them either! (And do love getting invited.)
Parties suck...but you don't say LOL? Never noticed....are you sure?
I love getting together with friends, and do enjoy meeting new people, as well. Parties are usually just really awkward for me though, because at most of them I only really know a couple people well enough that I can actually talk to them, and they normally have so many other people to talk to that it's tough for me to find a group where I can fit in. So I typically end up finding some service to do, like helping in the kitchen or something, just so I'm not standing in some corner with a drink in my hand (which is almost always what happens if there's nothing to be cleaned). I love being around whoever I'm there for (usually the person who invited me), the friends I know are great (they're why I even go), and the friends of friends are pretty cool, too. But I'm glad when the party's over and the pressure's off.
As far as "LOL," I used it a lot before my mission, but absolutely despise it now because people lean on it too much. Honestly, I don't think a person's really laughing or even amused at all when they post as a Facebook status something like, "lol It's really cold outside!" or "lol The boss found my stash today! lol." Bugs the crap outta me. I won't tell other people not to use it (because maybe they need it to cover their insecurities), but I won't use it myself. I use something like "Haha" instead; at least it resembles laughter. :)
#12....
Hmm... that's not the Nathan I knew before your mission. As far as I can remember, I was the one pointing out the good in situations. ;) But hey, maybe I rubbed off on you?
I think you did, Court; thanks. :) In any case, I didn't even realize it till it was pointed out to me on my mission; that #12 was just Elder Cunningham to all the other missionaries. Annoyed the heck out of more than one companion, too. :)
It was probably those late night chats on messenger that did it. You know, the ones where I was hiding my laptop under my covers with me because my parents didn't know I was still awake...
Haha. Good memories. :)
