Colin. He's 2 years younger than me and has always looked up to me. I'm grateful for that because being a role model for him keeps me in check too. Knowing that he's going to follow my lead, I always make sure to set a good example for him.
I love my little brother and we get along great.

Can I just state for the record that I hate that this section is called "The Narcissist in Me"? There are negative connotations to the word 'narcissist' that I do not associate with being aware of my talents. Talking about things I kick-ass at is a perfectly valid topic of discussion and I will never apologize or feel guilty for liking myself.
Glad I could clear the air on that. On with the list:
-teaching
-teaching drama
-encouragement
-talking
-organizing pub nights
-being a good friend
-kissing
-telling the truth
-common sense

Nope. I have tried really hard, and for many years I pretended because I felt like I had to. Everyone around me believes in God and when I was in High School especially I went through the motions even though I wasn't getting anything from it. Nothing.
Thinking about God's existence either way didn't make me feel and better/worse about the world. I find no comfort, joy, or peace in religion. I just don't.
I can't give you a more specific reason than that.
I just look around the world and what is happening and there is no way. There's just no way. If there's a God, he either died, left, or stopped giving a shit a long time ago.
I also have problems with religious institutions in general, and Christianity in particular. As someone with Metis heritage, I can't forget the Church's involvement with the genocide of the indigenous populations of Canada.
Furthermore, hate against "other" communities often has religious roots and I can't subscribe to a faith that actively promotes the destruction of people simply because they are un-WASP.
So, no. I don't believe in God.
