So, ignoring the fact that the topic description is more than Ko's fault for putting in V for Vendetta at 3am, I think it'd be a good idea to have a topic where, if people are comfortable with it, we can put up some random facts about ourselves and comment on them/on other peoples' as well. You can be silly and joke around, do try and prevent flame wars though.

Who knows? Maybe this'll inspire people to talk to one another via messenger or even get people interested in questing with each other. One thing's for sure, a little bit of random activity in the GD that's reminiscent of the "old days" won't hurt, right? =D

Have fun, learn a little, laugh a lot and don't be afraid to ask questions or start a (mature) discussion with someone about something interesting or questionable that you've seen.

So, let's get this started!

- I currently sleep on a mattress on the floor inside the closet in "my" room of the apartment. It's dark, it's quiet (save for the sound of the washer/dryer) and it's never too hot or too cold for me seasonally. This has given me the nickname of "Maggie" by one of my room mates; yay for RoD references!

- Even though I'm a night owl, my favorite time of the day is Dawn. There's nothing more beautiful than going out and watching the sun rise over the horizon.

- When my mother was pregnant with me, she thought she miscarried. She later confided in me that I more than likely had a twin.

- Twins run in my family, and they go every other generation- miscarriages don't count either. Knowing my luck, when I find the right person and choose to have kids? I'm most likely the one screwed over and will have the red headed twin girls. Red hair also runs in my family. Fuck.

- There are three people in the world who have done something or have pissed me off to the point that, if I see them, I will kill them in cold blood. And not regret it for an instant.

- I am the least wild individual out of my entire family; hard to believe but it's true. I'm actually, *gasp*, a good girl... most of the time. I probably win the award for "Most Sadistic" though.

- All the women born into my mother's side of the family have a birthmark right where the spine disappears into the skull. My mother says a female ancestor got so wild and crazy, that God/the Gods slapped a mark to help the other men and women know where to aim if they needed to take her out.

- Being a Bitch with a capital "B" also runs in the women's side of the family. I wish I were kidding.

- Until I was 7 years old, my hair was so pale blonde it was literally white. And then it started getting darker when winter rolled around. When I shaved it due to psychological reasons/my mother did it to try and help quell a psychological disorder, it came back in nearly black. Today? It's growing in dark brown with red tones.

- I was in a serious ATV accident with my sister when I was 9 years old out in the middle of Deer Creek, OR. Crashing into the barbed wire fence at about 10-15 miles an hour ripped open the lower and middle of my left thigh to the point the artery could be seen by looking into the wound.

- Related to the above, my younger sister (by two years) informed me that I'm the reason she's still alive; all because I grabbed her by the shoulders and threw her off the ATV before it crashed. Had I not done that, it would have severed the artery in her leg and she would have bled to death. I don't remember grabbing or throwing her off the ATV, but I remember watching the barbed wire rip through my leg.

- I have an absolutely stupid amount of pain tolerance. I've spilled/had hot bacon grease straight out of the pan on my hands and only hissed because it felt like a mosquito bite.

- I partially dislocated my shoulder rough-housing with the boys here in Denver earlier this year; and popped it back into place in my sleep.

- When I have children, I will give my daughters a ring (with whichever metal suits their skin tone best) with their birthstone for their 16th birthday; just like my mother started with me. I will also be planting either a rose bush or a tree when they come home from the hospital.

- Even though it's been a long time since I've tried, I have a natural talent for gardening. Playing with a mere stick all day and then planting it into the ground, looking at my parents and telling them it'll grow into a tree when I was five years old actually worked. We still have the lilac tree in our backyard to this day.

- My biggest fear is Haunted Houses. You can't make me go inside one and I had panic attacks as a child when we'd stop by one on our way to going trick-or-treating. I also freak out when I see people going into haunted places on TV and start going off on them. It's almost pathetically hilarious, really.

- I currently live in an apartment in Denver, CO with room mates who are all members of .hack//DIVERGENCE; and who I met online.

- I sleep with a dreamcatcher above my head at night to keep the nightmares and disturbing dreams away.

- My comfort food is a jar of Mt. Olive Brand Kosher Dill Pickles and a box of White Cheddar Cheez-Its.

- In anime/manga/games, I have the biggest weakness for stupid couples. Ever. The dumber/more oblivious the female is to the guy's feelings, the more hilarious and squeal worthy I find it. Current favorite example: Mogami Kyoko from Skip Beat!.

- On the subject of couple types/tropes; my favorite thing in the whole wide world is sexual tension when it comes to couples in books. Especially the romance novels. If there's a fiery tempered/spirited and defiant female going toe to toe and saying a "Fuck you, I'm me and no one else" to an equally strong willed guy? It gets me grinning and laughing in evil glee to myself.

- I will not read a series with a weak willed/damsel in distress type character. Ever. It will send me into a frothing rage every time I find one who fits that description. (Here's looking at you, Sailor Moon! And people wonder why I loved the lesbian couple so much, HA!)

- Almost every single major character I've written has gone through a period of time where they're afraid of their responsiblity/gift/special ability/etc and run away from it. The majority of them figure it out and come to accept it.

- I have a very very black and white perspective on suicide. I've been called a heartless bitch with my opinion and it suits me just fine; because what I know is to be true.

- And then I immediately contradict myself in some way by stating that I whole-heartedly approve and stand up for Doctor-Assisted Suicide. In my mind, there's an enormous difference between killing yourself because you're too retarded and selfish to go through the painful period of healing yourself psychologically, and killing yourself because you're going to die in 6 months or less and are in a shit load of round the clock physical pain.

- I really enjoy writing lesbian couples and characters.

- I have about 37 Eevees that I've hatched in Pokemon Pearl for the Nintendo DS out of sheer boredom. And those aren't the ones I've named and evolved/am training. In total, I've hatched about 43-46 of them. (If anyone wants a couple, I'm not picky on what I'll trade them for. >_> Seriously. Just ask for my friend's code and I'll trade you one or three.)

- I absolutely hate the word "Catalyst".

Only you, Sekai. Only you.

Let's give this a crack-alack.

-I say crack-alack.

-I say hokie doke often.

-I talk to things. Literally things. If I ever nudge into a stuffed animal or a bear of some kind at a relative's/whoever's house, I'll apologise to it. I've even apologised to my hairbrush once. It's not that I actually think they can hear me, but when I was young I deeply believed that all of my stuffed animals were secretly alive. Some part of my subconscious has never let go of my belief that everything has a spirit inside of it and they look more kindly upon people who actually recognize it. 99.9999999% of me knows it's just silly nonsense, but the other part is why I still do it. You know, just in case.

-I have a tendency to run pointless 'scenerios' in my head. Especially in the first half hour of waking. I'll hear a simple word, or a phrase, or even think something and it'll elaborate into a completely random real life scenerio in my head.

-If something good happens, or I see something good happening, I immediately think of about three or four ways it could go wrong in the next two seconds or two years.

-I don't particularly believe in any one type of supernatural/occult thing, but I do believe anything is possible. There's nothing I dismiss outright.

-I absolutely, positively believe in aliens. I believe anyone who doesn't is a daunting imbecile. The universe is simple too big. Now, whether or not any have come here is a different story.

-I have a special place in my heart for werewolve lore/books/movies.

-If you give me long enough, my room will degenerate into a slobby mess that's crafted in a perfect circle around my computer chair. It has an insane kind of logic to it, though. It's organized in its disorganization.

-I easily fall in love with any video game/movie/book that has an immensely dark, but well-crafted storyline. Silent Hill? Probably one of the best series to exist in the history of the universe. I will always choose the video game in which a humanoid mannequin monster with all legs and two crotches gets raped by a giant man with an equally giant blade over something like Kingdom Hearts (though I heart Hearts). This isn't because I'm some kind of latant sociopath - OR AM I? - but rather that I like facing the darkest of the dark and kicking it in its balls with my goodness.

-I've chosen to be a police officer because it's the closest thing to a superhero I can be.

-I wait to get a hair cut/shave until I look like a hobo because I like how the drastic transformation feels and how many people give me amazed, handsome comments.

-I think normal girls are boring, even if they're beautiful, and I'd never date them. I think weird girls are sexy.

-I think the idea of a clingy girlfriend is really flattering and kind of sexy, too. I'm sure this will change when I actually experience this.

-I often think with 'izzle' at the end of my words if my mood is light enough. Literally every few words.

-I enjoy romance movies as much as the girlfriends I've taken to see them. They're probably at the bottom of my list of movie choices, but I'll get the full effect just the same.

-I think beer tastes like pee smells.

-I have a collection of seven Tabasco bottles, so far. They are above my computer, on a little desk thing amabob. This is because I enjoy Tabasco on just about everything; popcorn, turkey sandwhichs, chilli, soup.

-One of my favorite comfort foods is saltines with cheese sprinkled on top and Tabasco sauce.

-I named my Plymouth Voyager 'Xena.'

HOLY SHITCAKES! WOOT! I love dark and confined as well lol, Maggie is my fave, and I've also been called that for it, R.o.D. The T.V. is SWEET! I have to say that the R.o.D. searies and movies are my second favorite anime, after .hack// of course ;)

Awwwww ^_^

I'd call that lucky, if I ever had kids I'd love for twins.

lol, I find it hard to think of Sadist!Mommy as a 'good girl'

O_O is there a relation to Yazoo, Loz and Kidaj there by anychance?
<Is a total Yazoo fanboi!

That reminds me of my friends sister slicing open her leg in our pool skimmer, I found out after by going over, she was asleep on the porch and my friend pushed on the scab of her leg and I SAW THE BONE! It wa so COOL! lol, does that make me seem a little too groutesque loving?

Sadist!Mommy the savior! Woot!

And I thought my pain tolerance was freakish XP lol, congrats Sekiseki, you just stole my cake!

Thats just Epic!Mommy right there! ^_^ it's full of Awwwwwwwzles

Lilac is just awesome that way aint it!

ohhhh.... And me biggest wish is to go to one.... O_O

I do too! ^_^; though I need to take my crystals out and clense it, it's supose to be blue and it's more of a violet. >_>

four words, "White Chocolate Caramel Capachino"

This makes me think of Tsubasa Chronicles, she loves him and he didnt know it, then she lost her memory and he figured out how much he realy loved her and she don't know it XP and can't know it. Gotta love clamp.
My weakness is Starcrossed, kinda. Forbidden love gets me every time.

Uranus and Neptune are the best! OMG, I loved them growing up... Damn "protect television for christianity" having the show canseled and the last season blocked from being shipped over to go in stores....

Oh no! don't tell me that Sekai-sama will be doing the same!

Everyone had there own persective on all things, no one has the right to ridecule or harras someone for having a point of view. Next time someone insults you... NM I'll be getting way too 'mature' for this site to handle if I go on a rant. XP

I agree

Almost all my characters have been straight, though I made a gay one recently, and I dindt even notice it till the otehr day that what I thought I made a couple pages of urned out to be worthy of a chapter in a novel O_O I think I was taking a little too much reality and working it out through that story XP

Oh definately, That's just epic, I'd love to collect every Evee evolution there is ^_^ It's my favorites! woot! Next time I'm at the friends house where I have wi-fi, and hopefully can get on divvy and see you online, we might be able to trades, I have Platinum so I'll look up what I can get and you cant X3

Why, don't need to answer, I'm just verry curious about this for some reason.

And now for factoids of me!

- I'm really into magic and spirits.

- I'm one of those people that loves someone and they have no clue about it! None whatsoever!

- I apologies for other peoples mistakes all the time. I'm just too nice...

- I hate temperatures 71*F and above, and 64*F and below, and live in a place that only gets that weather for a couple weeks twice a year, the rest of the time it's ungodly hot or sadistically cold.... and guess what time of year the local anime con is... -_-

- I wish I could move away form this house were I'm my brothers keeper but cant unless I get a room mate or two because my paycheck would just about cover the rent of a place, no utilities or food... Plus, my family used me as a crutch and got me into so much debt on most of the utilities around here that I can't open them in my name even if I could pay them...

- I still don't have a car but hopefully will by this time next year.

- I wonder what Carson would say if I were on the show "How to look good naked, Men’s addition" because I keep saying I think I need to lose over a hundred pounds and everyone that sees me says I'd look emaciated if I did. Am I seeing myself as bigger than I am?

- Life stresses me out so much sometimes that since I saw .hack//SIGN in 2001, I wished that I could just leave my body and go somewhere else, let this life die and go live one in one of my games. T^T Why don't wishes come true...

- I think all I'm good for are random useless scientific facts and a laugh... and maybe finding information, though that's still leaving me as a pretty useless person.

- I'm too much of a coward to commit suicide, I tried in HS but I couldn't even do that XP lol, such a wimp.

- I have been called a library, and every friend and family member says that they fear my house when I move out on my own because they picture Yomiko's house from R.o.D. Read or Die.

- one of my favorite things to eat is PeanutButter and MiricleWhip sandwiches! Xd yumm!

- ... ILIKETEA!

- I survived this entire day on a yogurt cup, a handfull of fruitloops, and a glass of water O_O amd at hte moment I'm not realy all that hungry yet... though my head is killing me... (how this is a fact about me I don't know, jsut wanted to say it.)

- When I'm stressed out with people, I work it out by imagioning scinario's where I'm torturing them brutaly, with lots of blood and screaming and pain with a dash of salt. though almost never death, because that make it have to end. OwO XP

- I love cat's though they hate me... T^T

- I like to sing, though my voice hurts peoples ears.

- I act liek a fangirl, I was watching TV (thankfully while family was gone for the weekend,) and when something tottaly awesome happened I started squeeling and gigleing and hopping in the air clapping and dancing and O_O my goddess, was I born in the wrong body or something?

- I've loved Holly Marie Combs since forever! You know, one of those fan crushes.

- My friend ratio is Female 84.5% male 15.5%

- I've never even been kissed to this date. XP lol

- I hate sports, I love romance, I hate horror flicks that are nothing but sencless slaughter with no plot, sencless slaughter needs a plot and you have to remember that you can't spell slaughter without laughter.

Oh, why not?

-Right after being born, I had to undergo some sort of surgery. Don't know what it's classified as but it involved the extraction of feces from my lungs

-I have this on-and-off twitch urge with sensations, where if they have only happened to one side of me I have to enact the same thing on the opposite spot on my body (e.g. I scratch my left elbow because it itches, get completely disturbingly agitated about the lack of symmetry and scratch my right elbow)

-I live by my watch. If it's not on my left wrist I feel as if a part of my wrist is missing and all there is left is empty space. When I'm not on time or early for something I get this ball in my gut.

-I play oboe and bassoon. Oboe for four years, bassoon for one.

-I find repeating words gets me to hate them (e.g. I repeat the word 'goes' over and over for two minutes then start to get upset because it's spelled 'goes' where the 'e' is really unnecessary and then just stop saying it for the rest of the day).

-Smiles give me face cramps.

-I proofread minor things like text messages but not major things like quests or essays.

-I arbitrarily jump between bouncily happy, furious, and depressed for no apparent reason.

-When walking up or down stairs I find that I must climb them in the same way every time. If the left foot goes first once, it goes first forever.

-Occasionally I fall asleep for three seconds then experience a jerk reaction that yanks me out of it.

-My first shaving experience with a blade cut me nine times across the face. Since then I've used a shaver.

-Low pain tolerance is LOW. Brushing quickly against a slightly hot pot actually tends to burn me, or at least give a prolonged sense of being burned.

-I have dreamed of dying in 5 different ways. All of them involve some sort of fracture to my right arm.

-Conversely, I've dreamed of two people getting run over by a schoolbus, back and forth, from the time I fell asleep to the time I woke up. These people were both met this year.

-When looking for comfort I bust out my DS and play TWEWY alongside drinking a jug of water.

-If my iPod is dead I'll still wear the headphones to ignore people.

-When writing something, everything else in the room has to be turned off or closed. Otherwise I get distracted in 3.14 seconds.

-My favourite subject is Math but it's also the one I get the lowest grades in.

-I find death not scary, but welcoming. If given the knowledge of how I were to die, I'd only commit suicide to change it if the original method was burning to death, drowning or asphyxiation.

-I autopilot most of the time. Thinking requires concrete focus for me.

Wow Sekai, you're pretty much as tough as they come. If we ever met, it would be the opposite of an irresistible force meeting an immovable object... it would be an irresistible force meeting Mr. Pushover. ^^;

Anyways, here are few things that are weird about me:

-I name objects that I use on a day to day basis. My car is named Tank; my GPS is named Jasmine; my tennis rackets are all named Patty... it goes on. Pretty strange I guess.

-I always take a shower before important moments, be they tennis matches, big standardized tests, or instances of public speaking.

-I find that my gut instinct is usually right... but sometimes to my detriment, I don't always follow it.

Haha, I'll add more as I think of them.

I don't have much in mind right now, but I want to reply to a few things. :3

Do you mind if I ask why?

Hey, me too. x3 It's odd, innit? However, I also find that I have to cross equal amounts of ground with my feet. As in, if I take an entire sidewalk square in one stride, then I have to take another one in one stride with the other foot.

-I was living in a closet before Sekai.

-Sekai likes to copy me.

-My life is unbelievable.

-I lie about my life so that people don't believe it.

-I heal broken bones in days, not weeks.

-I'm allergic to all but one antibiotic.

-I don't believe in mental illnesses, disseases, or disorders.

-My family has a habit of trying to kill each other, and our friends, for shits and giggles.

-I hate it when people say please and thank you.

-I solve all of my problems with undeserved over confidence and physical violence and it has never let me down.

-My name is Jason..


-I was born at, 8:30 pm, July, Friday the 13th, 1990....Refer to point 1.


-I like, dark, sick, blood loving, gothic, demented, girls.. The more morbid they act, the more I want to....


-Apparently, and I quote this from a girl I work with. "Jason, you are like a closet freak who had to much sugar and Viagra, and someone forgot to lock the door." (She made me put that there V.v )


-I am secretly morbid in thought...


-OPP, ya you know me. And it sucks!


-I sometimes look at everyday items and think "How would this help me in the event of a zombie outbreak."


-I believe there will at some point be a zombie outbreak!


-I am constantly plotting how to survive an outbreak, and I sometime choose friends based on how great of an asset they would be in such a scenario.


-I have nightmares all the time, and enjoy them...


-I constantly question peoples motives, and assume the world is plotting against me.


-I play ALL games, Card, Board, Video, Word, Everything from Yu-Gi-Oh, to Halo 3, DnD to Animal Crossing. Basicly, if it has a set of rules and a goal, I am into it. I am also good at them, all games.


-I always think something, and imagine if what I thought was someone elses thought.


-I have an ego, and low self esteem...???


-I am 18, and can give better relationship advice than anyone you will ever meet. This is guaranteed.


-I tend to be able to look at someone's life and simply say, "It will be okay," or "Things, are going to get bad." 90% of the time, I am right.


-I am cursed to be emotionally unhappy, and have accepted that.


-I am ALWAYS laughing, or smiling, at SOMETHING...


-I am the definition of contradiction, and I can never seem to understand why.


-I adapt to other peoples personality.


-I tend to be very personal, when meeting new people online, I treat it as if they where right in front of me. This often leads to problems...


(( Okay, those are just some things about me I found worth mentioning! ))

Uncalled for and lies. You're only sleeping in the closet because your sister and I threw the bed in there to mess with you. And you're too damn lazy to take it back out. (And that's exactly what she said. Jackass. D<) And I don't copy you; I'm saying what comes to mind, in all reality, it means you and I are more alike than you want to admit and I can hack into your brain and thus eat your strawberries. RAWR. STFU.

*ahem*

@Watorie and Uruvei: I hate the world because it follows me around and has been used to describe me by three separate therapists as well as, well, a few people I know very well. The meaning behind the word in particular bothers me and there's a few sillier reasons I could get into but won't publicly. ^^;

Random Weird Fact: According to the Myers-Briggs personality test, I've officially changed from an INFP to an ISTJ, though I did manage to get the INFJ result once as well, but have gotten ISTJ more than anything else in the present.

ooh, where to start...



- One of my nostrils is bigger than the other. I don't know why, it just is... and it bugs the crap out of me.

- I have survived an entire day on nothing but a box of Pocky

- I talk to myself, a lot. Not because I'm actually holding a conversation, but because it helps me organize my thoughts better when I say them out loud.

- My lucky number growing up was 15, and my best friend growing up was born 15 days before me. There was no relation between the choosing of that number and that fact.

- My first girlfriend's birthday was the same as mine with the digits reversed (July 21 and July 12)

- I've been told I'm attracted to emotionally unstable girls, not that I ever notice that's the case until much later.

- Random people I know seem to suddenly become famous, but never the people I expect it to be. (Notable examples: hip hop artist Drake, and PK Suban from Team Canada in the recent World Juniors Hockey Tournament)

- Screw 6 degrees of seperation, I can link everyone I know together with 4, not including me.

Might as well join in...

-I'm unusually patient. Like, unnaturally so. And yet, I seem to attract impatient people. This drives me insane at time. I have yet to kill anyone yet, but hey. I ain't makin' any guarantees.

-Animals love me insanely. Cats, dogs, birds, ferrets, rats. You name it. The only person animals seem to like more than me is my mom. It's practically to the point that when I come into a room, all the animals come to me. And then my mom comes in, and all of them go to her. Maybe they can sense that I'll sit there and pet them. Or maybe it's because I'm calm and quiet. I get along better with animals than I do with people.

-There is very little I cry over in real life. And yet, I cry at movies, while reading books, while watching television, while writing occasionally and so on and so forth. Mercedes still hasn't stopped making fun of me for how much I cried at the end of REPO!: The Genetic Opera. (It was sad, alright!)

-I like Miracle Whip. I hate mayonnaise. This is a characteristic shared by almost ALL of my extended family on my dad's side. Seriously. No one likes mayonnaise. You will not find it in any of their fridges.

-I'm allergic to a lot of things. Including cherry artificial flavoring. I'm also lactose intolerant and meat intolerant. I rarely ever eat meat, since it makes me quite ill.

-I really, really, REALLY hate milk. This may've spanned from when I was a child and didn't know I was lactose intolerant. But, milk has never tasted good to me. It just tastes like nasty water. But, I love soy products. Tofu, soy milk, soy ice cream, soy beans...You name it.

-I enjoy singing quite a bit. Particularly in public places where I can freak people out. You wouldn't believe some of the looks my cousin and I have gotten.

-I'm basically built like a tank. I have a lot of muscle I did not work for. I also have an insanely low center of gravity. It's very hard to knock me over, even with the element of surprise.

-I am insanely cheap as far as clothing goes. The idea of paying 15 dollars for a single pair of pants is preposterous to me. I'm addicted to thrifting. In my entire wardrobe, there are maybe...6 things I bought new. Those I bought on clearance. (Not counting underwear, though. That's something it's creepy NOT to buy new.)

-I pretty much never drink soda. Maybe once a year, at the most.

-There isn't a time in the day where I am not thinking. I pretty much thing everything through.

-Characterization is the main thing I'm good at in writing. Which is probably why I have such a diverse cast of characters. It bugs me when people roleplay the same character on every roleplay. DIVERSIFY.

-I want to collectively slap all of PETA. I believe animals have rights, but those guys have their priorities a little mixed up. If only they could take their collective obsessive energy and put it into fixing life for humans and THEN animals.

-I'm insanely allergic to cigarette smoke. Like, I do not breathe while near it.

-I know too much. I spend more time reading on wikipedia in a day than some do in a lifetime. From serial killers to candy.

-Nothing pisses me off in the way of grammar quite like misusing tense. People who misuse tense are on my list of "Those who will die first if I ever go on a murderous rampage."

-I don't like X-boxes at all. There isn't a gaming system I want LESS. The only X-box I've ever met that I've liked is my best friends old hacked one with games burnt on to it.

-I do not know when I learned to type or when I learned to read. I could do both for as long as I can remember.

-I do not suffer idiots. I figure "Why make myself suffer?" Also, I feel that I am surrounded by idiots. This gets proven to me almost on a daily basis. Particularly when I go into public.

-I have never stayed in a hotel. Not once. And before you ask--yes. I have traveled. A lot. We stay in camp grounds or at relative's homes.

-I hate when people don't get my jokes or catch my sarcasm. A joke is NOT funny after you have to explain it.

-I have low blood sugar. When it gets too low, I become either dead sleepy or borderline homicidal. Or both.

-There are four things people think about me. One--I'm a charity case. Because I'm not smily-bubbly-happy-cheery-sunshine-and-lolipops, I must have no friends. Group two--The 'she may be sitting there but she doesn't exist" group. This covers most of humanity. Group three--the people who have never met me but think I'm a sociopath. Finally, group four. The people who actually know me.

-I strongly believe that most anyone can be happy if they actually try to see the good in life. People never notice the details that could potentially add so much joy in their lives. We're richly blessed if we look for it.

-I'm afraid of social situations, crowds and chandeliers. Yes, chandeliers. Oh, and dentists. Terrified of those. Probably because I'm allergic to Novocaine and Lidocaine. Plus, all dentists are sadistic sociopaths. That helps it too.

-I'm a very good liar, but I pretty much never lie.

-It bugs me when people insist on conforming to a stereotype. In fact, let's replace the word 'bugs' with 'pisses me off.'

-Bad writing makes me nauseous. Bad writing praised as good writing makes me want to murder people and then be sick.

-According to the Myers-Briggs personality test, I'm an INTJ.

-I have unnaturally long arms. Like, seriously. They're longer than people much taller than me. I also have very long, very skinny fingers.

Sekiseki: by the definition of that word, I don't see how it could be used to describe a person.

The definition as I know it is an Element used to start a reaction between multiple other elements or forcess.

Ruin: Almost all that describes me as well.... fooklin freaky... O_O

Ah, I think I understand what you mean. I have a friend who I've called a "catalyst" before - if you're in a bad mood, he tends to amplify it. Not always the case, but enough that I have to watch out for it. He's still a great friend; his tendency to make me depressed is unconscious, and I don't think he even realizes it.


I'll edit this post later with some weird facts about me, after I've had a nap... *yawn* =.=

-I am bored, constantly. This is frustrating to me because I can be doing the most goddamn interesting thing in the world, watching the best movie ever, or whatever, and something in the back of my mind will still go "...I'm booorreeeed."

-Except doing simple math problems. Give me a set of 8th grade algebra problems and I will light up like a christmas tree and gleefully do them.

-And yet I'm an English major.

-I've flunked/dropped out of four colleges now, and similarly have changed my major four times.

-I'm semi-fluent in both Spanish and Japanese. The only problem is, I combine the two on accident continuously.

-My favorite word is inorite. Which isn't even a word.

-I have what could be considered a fetish by now for the word "troublesome"/"mendokuse", for reasons that will be left unnamed but should be moderately obvious.

-I nearly kissed my best friend one day, without thinking, just because he decided to lean over and whisper said word in my ear, just to see what my reaction would be. Because I then punched him for it, he's never said it again, and actually goes out of his way not to.

-I don't consider myself a legitimate gamer because I really only play in social contexts.

-I was a furry before I knew what furries were.

-Thanks to Animorphs and Redwall

-I'm sick of how prejudice the internet is against furries.

-I'm even more sick of the people who cause that hatred by obsessing over furry porn.

-I collect doujinshi the way other women collect romance novels

-That doesn't stop me from mocking other women for liking romance novels

-I hate most yaoi but don't normally express that fact, because I'm sick of people thinking I'm a homophobe as a result

-one of these days I'm going to write a good long rant about that fact, and about how stupid, overzealous, clueless, underage, gynaphobic yaoi fangirls (as opposed to calm ones who've actually met a gay man in their life) are damaging the progress everyone else is making on gay rights

-I tend to write long rants about things that interest me/piss me off etc, but forget halfway through once I feel it's getting too longwinded

-Everything I write gets too long winded

-I'm really bad at finishing things

-Except food

-If I had the option to live off of peaches, strawberry lemonade, and venison for the rest of my life, I probably would.

-I'd miss crab more than I'd miss chocolate though

-I cannot conceptualize how someone could possibly not like fruits or vegetables, and get very angry when people don't finish their veggies. Despite being quite carnivorous, fruit is without a doubt my favorite food group.

-The only food I actually hate and refuse to ever eat again is sea urchin. I had it once, it was like sawdust flavored toothpaste... complete with sawdust texture mixed in. I also dislike beets/radishes/that whole family and olives, but will eat them if I have to.

-I laugh hysterically when in pain. I'm sure if I actually broke a bone I'd wail instead, but I tend to start screaming "ow, owwww, hahahaaaa, owwww," or the like, crying while laughing hysterically. It creeps people out.

-I tend to describe people as anime characters/mixes of anime characters.

-This is embarrassing to me because 1, it makes me sound like worse of a fangirl than I am, and 2, it makes it hard to explain my friends to my parents/family/people who don't know anime.

-I can only really concentrate on writing if I'm blindfolded and have headphones on. Yes, I type blind. I prefer it that way. And usually, I have the same song on repeat... at times for hours on end.

-I'm still convinced that's why my first and only college dormmate moved out.

-I howl spontaneously, and have to frequently remind myself not to do so in public if I'm in a good mood.

-I refuse to go outside without wearing hematite, and believe it's about the only thing stopping my absurd levels of empathy from overwhelming me with everyone else's feelings

-I hate that I believe that because it seems so very unscientific, and have been trying for years to figure out how to scientifically justify the idea of stones having any kind of energy abilities.

-I'm like that about a lot of things

-Sadly, I've realized this means that my worst fear from childhood has come through: I've turned into Izzy.

Hm...Nice to learn so much about you all, I'm of the belief that do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Therefore, I read about you so I shall share about me. Although, I'm almost always willing to share about me.

Let's start with the basics:

1. I like making lists - This does not mean that they make any sense to anyone else but me at any particular time.

2. I have problems speaking any particular language. English is supposed to be my native tongue and I've pretty much mastered how to murder it better than some foreign dude who can't get any english word right. On that note, I prefer to write what I say, it gives me a hard copy of what I've said and I can make sure that it comes out right. I do also have a problem with that. I'm just going to think that the part of my brain that does cognitive functions and controls language skills is just completely f@(|<3d.

3. I have a learning/mental disability. It impaires me severely apparently. I'm not sociable enough with people when talking to them physically, I don't get the idea of 'some things you just shouldn't talk about'.

4. I'm quite open to sharing information about myself, even if I shouldn't. It goes with my bizarre way of life.

5. I have a 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you' way of life. I will not do something to someone that I would not do to myself. I like to try things myself as well before telling others to do so. I've got the idea that if you're going to kill someone, you should be ready to die yourself. I'm still trying to figure out what it's supposed to feel like to get shot and stabbed. I have a younger brother who will most likely help me with that later on.

6. I appear to have some strange physical defects. My sense of pain is derranged. I have feeling. I am compelled to whine and complain about things if they are supposed to hurt, even though it doesn't. My friend gave me a paper cut on my arm once and I whined at him all day for it, pretending it hurt. Later, someone heated up a piece of metal and pressed it to my skin and burned me. I didn't whine or complain because I felt it wasn't anything serious. I also have an alarmingly low heart rate. My blood pressure, most recent one that is, is 110/90. When working out, my rate will rise slowly during the workout and then drop down really fast afterwards.

7. People tend to yell at me like I'm retarded. They tell me that I should remember what happens when I get seriously hurt, like burned or large open wounds. They yell at me for forgetting simple things. I may be a retard, but I don't like it when people label me as one offensively. I don't call you a retard, so don't call me one.

8. I have to live on a pattern. I will forget about the simplest things, like eating, cleaning, working, if I'm not on a pattern. I lose schedules and calendars because they are not a part of my pattern. I do like to be spontaneous now and then, but subliminally, it's still part of a pattern.

9. Yes, I am retarded. But not 'so retarded I'm a complete Retard' retard, just 'I operate on an entirely different system' retard. I still appear as a bright, complex person because I am, I just don't get the simpler things in life.

10. I have a cool and laid back attitude. I care little about much of the 'important' things in life. This may tie in with my low heart rate.

11. I am quite conforming. I'm likened to a sociable butterfly that has no real group to belong to. I move from group to group, making friends or acquaintances out of everyone. I am a jock, a geek, a nerd, a punk, a goth, almost anything. And still nothing.

12. I have the shittiest memory possible. It's almost like I have Alzhiemers, but not as bad.

- Every morning at 5am my cat meows really loud in my face

- I slept on my couch in my basement since I was 18 because I couldn't sleep too well in my bed anymore

- I stopped sleeping on the couch in the basement when my cat peed on his personal blanket and stunk up the couch (fixed now) a few month ago.

- You know that man on the moon? I met him once. His name is Fred. Weird guy, has some obsession with cheese.

- I'm generally pretty mellow but if you get on my case while I'm really tired and working on something I can get irritated really fast.

- I generally dislike the sound of one hand clapping

- No matter how hard I try otherwise, I have a deep disdain for those who rally around entertainment to fill their lives exclusively and never give a moments pause to the greater world.

- If I could be any animal I would be an eagle, because nothing is more fun than divebombing birdpoo onto peoples heads only to have them look up and see the bomber is a fucking raptor.

- Basically 90% of my texting is to my ex, even though we hate each other.

- I often wonder who the heck some people are on my buddy lists

- My mom is a psychotic psychologist

- Cherry Coke Zero sucks

- I've gotten like 20 of those fake plastic American Express cards in a pile, and intend to mail them all back in one of the prepaid envelopes once i can stuff one full.

- I feel physically ill when someones describes their pain

- Fundamentalism of any kind scares the bejebus out of me

- I find it supremely ironic that as a hopeless romantic I have zero attraction to my friend who is both hot and matches perfectly with my interests.

- I've only ever been to Canada and the US

- I am friends with two up and coming stars in Hollywood. One of them is most likely a psychopath IRL.

- I still have the same jacket I got when I was 10. It was very oversized then but still fits me perfectly now.

- I save everything I make and don't really buy anything

- 15% of all proceeds go to the Save A Shugo Foundation

- I accidentally left tealeaves in my teacup for a month and opened it up to find a nice mold colony

- I have honestly nothing to do, ever, outside of work. I just find something to fill the time

Remember kids, every time you convert Imperial units to metric and only use one significant digit, god kills a seagull. Think of the seagulls.

Waaay too many things to respond to, so I'll just have my piece and wait for the eventual sanity that should meet this thread after everyone's shared themselves.

-My life is filled with constant noise. When I'm at my computer for most of the day, there's always music playing. If I'm walking to class, I'm listening to music, or talking with someone. 24/7 constant noise - even when I'm sleeping. I need my fan on in my room because it's loud and moves the air around - or I don't go to sleep due ot the stagnant air or from the silence.

-My ears ring and hurt a lot when there's absolutely no sound. I think most people are like that.

-I hate the sound of a recorded voice. Radio DJ's especially. Male radio DJ's especially especially. Something about that fake, deep bassy din vibrates my head into agitation.

-NPR is the devil.

-I think that it's easier to show your true self online than in person.

-I think it's easier to lie online, but also easier to tell the truth.

-When in doubt, I always go with honesty, because at least I would stay honest.

-Honesty has lead me to be one of the luckiest men in the world.

-My birthday is 9/9 and my best friend's is 6/6. I was born on the 9th day of the 9th month of the 89th year of the 1900s.

-My nickname is Max. My real name is Maximilian.

-I think that's a sweet name. There are two types of people: people who feel bad for me, and people who think it's mega-awesome.

-I can't go to sleep unless I read a book first.

-I have TMJ from ruber-bands in my braces (back in middle school). My jaw pops really painfully when I open it wide. Yawning usually hurts a lot and makes a bone-crunching sound.

-I only just started to be proud of my writing when I started my 2nd character. Before that I hated what I wrote and wished people would ignore it.

-It bugs me when people post in forums and have one sentence, every other line.

-I don't understand why people waste time being mad or sad (even though I've done my share of both), so I usually poke them way too far and they hate me for it. At least temporarily.

-I can consciously give myself motivation out of nothing, though the will to do this isn't as prevalent as you'd imagine x3;. Sort of ironic ain't it.

-I am a linux junkie and it's led me to a job.

-Did I mention I'm really lucky?

-I have a very bad memory. For all who have said that they have the worst - I challenge thee...to what, I can't remember.

-I love sentences that deem themselves false by stating them. Note: paradoxes are different. A crappy example: "I've never spoken." I would remember a really good one, but...what was I talking about again?

-I love how ADD this thread lets the posters be, because I'll be damned if I'm not undiagnosed.

-That was a confusing double-negative, but it works if you look at it upside-down.

-I twirl my hair constantly. It's actually a legitmate psychological problem. I twirl it so much that my hair is all split at the ends and hair gets ripped out >_>. I'd imagine it's something close to what Sekai had...we should talk. It's pretty annoying actually. I'll be watching TV and my arm will be in my way, twirling my hair and I'll be thinking, "Get out of the way stupid arm! Oh wait, I have control over that thing." Every time I pause while typing, one of my hands reaches for my hair.

-I made the decision between getting an xbox 360 or a server, and actually had a hard time. I decided on the server - if that tells you anything about my geek-dom - and haven't bought it yet - if that tells you about my procrastination.

-I'm getting up at 5:10am tomorrow to see a divvier the entire day :O. Guess whoooo.

-I was in drumline in high school and was center snare and section leader my senior year. I played cymbals my first year at NCSU, had a lot of fun, and hope to make snare this year. I think I will, but then again, I thought I was in last year, no sweat. Doesn't much matter. Cymbals was a blast.

-My mom's voice gives me a headache.

-I played maplestory for 2.5 years, hours a day and don't regret any of the time spent. Time spent having fun is never time wasted.

-My left ribcage is a lot bigger than my right ribcage. I like to think it's because I have a big heart >_>. It actually kept me from wearing t-shirts for a year and still hasn't gotten me into a pool or the ocean without being a little self-conscious. I don't care that people know about it, it's when people point it out like I've never noticed it before and must be informed of it right away. Also, everyone around me ought to know as well. Hey, come look at this. blarg.

-I'm very empathetic. If someone's feeling sad because of something, it's like I went through it myself. Movies and books have the same effect.

-My dreams are so vivid that sometimes my dreams end with me falling asleep and I have to ask people if those crazy things really did happen. One time I had a dream about a normal day of school. It was a friday in my dream and a monday the next morning, where I found out that friday was a lie and I had a whole week ahead of me. Also, the girl in the front row really hadn't looked at me in fourth period. Also, I'm flying in every dream I can remember, even when the dream isn't about flying. I barely notice it, but sometimes I get to enjoy it.

-If I could have any super-power it would be flying, and the physical tolerance to fly at high speeds.

-I'm a softie.

-I have three cats and a dog.

-Roxy is a good girl, buster is an opportunist, Hermione is a vanity queen, Ms. Piggy is a neurotic crazed fraidy cat that purrs whenever you come in contact with her, but runs away shortly after.

-I've never shot a real gun. One with lead bullets.

-Paintballing and skiing are the two funnest pasttimes on the planet.

-It bugs me when people state opinion as fact.

-Hypocrits bother me.

-Self-loathing, hypocritical, opinion as fact staters - bug me.

-Writing that wastes the reader's time is my number one pet-peev (I suck at spelling) - so with that, I will abruptly end.

- NPR is awesome

-I'm a dual citizen (Canada and the U.S.), but I definitely identify with my Canadian citizenship more (considering I've been living here since about 9 months old and my whole family was born in Canada).

-Love coke (lulz that's the name of a drug) and will ask for water if the server says, "Is pepsi okay?" because it is not okay. Pepsi is too sweet. I need the burn!

-I absolutely cannot do hands-on things. At all. I actually feel strange and a little incapacitated if I try. I've convinced myself that it means I'm secretly a genius, since my Dad is the same way and he is uber intelligent.

-Needles cause me to faint, or at least come close, no matter how calm I feel going in.

-Russian history is my love. English, history in general, and renaissance studies are my other loves. <3 Law is my future love-to-be, once I actually get to start studying it in earnest, particularly entertainment/intellectual property (which includes internet stuff, woo!)/international.

-I still actively play Pokemon Puzzle League. It's for N64 and it is wonderful.

-When I was a kid, I thought my stuffed animals came alive at night to protect me. Sometimes I would pretend to sleep and then suddenly open my eyes, to try and catch them moving.

-I also thought I could morph into animals. (Stupid Animorphs, tricking me! I owned every book.) My poor dog had to deal with me hugging her for extended periods of time while I closed my eyes and tried to absorb her DNA and turn into her. Once I thought my nose got colder.

-I have attended eight different schools so far in my life (nine by the end of the summer, if you count my future five week course at the University of Siena), and I will be attending at least one more before I'm done.

-Once, I tried drinking coke up my nose with a straw. I figured, we can breath through our mouths and our noses, so it should work both way for drinking too! It didn't work.

-Sometimes I sleep with my bathroom light on.

-Hard as I try not to be, I am scared of spiders and other bugs. Hairy centipede things live in my basement and they are TERRIFYING. It's mostly in the way they move...they're really really fast and all their hair moving as they zip about is horrifying. I freeze up and literally yell for my mom to come take care of them. Yes, I'm a little wuss.

-Damek and I are not the same person, honest. We're actually not even too similar in real life...okay, maybe we are. But not completely. She can draw and I cannot. She is stylish and I am not. She has bigger boobs. And I've started swearing more thanks to her. A little bit.

-Sometimes I'll eat just cookies for a meal. Mmm.

-I hope to do something great with my life. Not sure how likely it is.

-Whenever I'm home alone, I blast pop music and dance around. Oh wait, I also do that when I'm not home alone.

-My dog passed away way back in January and I still sometimes think I see her out of the corner of my eye. Happened to me twice today; eventually I moved the bag that I kept thinking was her. I also still feel like I shouldn't leave groceries on the ground or food near the edge of the counter (she was real good at stealing food >.>).

-Whenever I have those 'oops, naked!' type dreams I'm only ever topless. Not sure why.

-I have a wonderful collection of wacky socks, many of them Christmas-themed because my stocking is always stuffed with them. And I love it. I have three pairs that make it look like I'm wearing shoes. It has tricked many people.

-I went trick-or-treating this Halloween. I'm still a teenager! Also, I am scared of no longer being a teenager, which will occur in less than a month. I don't want to start a grownup decade. :/

-I am sad that none of my points are very interesting. D:

*makes a cross with his two index fingers and winces*

Yes! I actually order root beer if they have it instead. Pepsi is not alright.

I lol'd. I did this for The Lost Years of Merlin books (hey, my back hurt - I must have been an angel in my past life and am now a fallen merlin!), DBZ was fun to pretend (5th gradish), and...I'm sure there's way more.

Wait - DAMEK IS A GIRLLL??? XD Kidding.

I've never had a naked dream now that I think about it. I've never died either - and I think it's impossible to die in a dream. *adds that to one of his weird facts - but only in spirit*

...lies!

- My thumbs are short and straight. They do not curve backwards like most people. Makes winning a thumb wrestling match very difficult at times.

- I love cats. Especially the big cats! White Tigers are my favorite followed closely by Black Panthers.

- My character is named after my pet cat (at least her first name is XD)

- I absolutely love slow pitch softball, but in turn the game hates me. I've broken my arm, my nose, gotten bulldozed by a speedy little asian man that ended us both on the bench with injuries, and I find out on Monday what I've now done to my knee.

- I'm a packrat of paper. Sekai can vouch for me! =D

- I'm the youngest of four but technically could be considered an only child.

- I'm almost an identical twin to someone of no blood relation but tied to our family.

- I think I'm one of those people Stane has a pet peeve about. o.o (Likes to type single lines in thread posts with spaces in between. But I only do it in discussion and clan threads, not quests....I think >.>)

- I have a fish tank full of water with everything in it except a fish.

- I chew on the ends of my hair when I'm nervous or bored.

- I once played a Sarusophone (sp?) in a district contest with my high school band. No - it's not a tuba!

- I can and have played technically 10 different instruments in my lifetime so far.

- I'm addicted to the time management computer games where you have to do a bunch of stuff in a certain time and achieve a certain score in order to move on.

XD This is why I shut my door. ALWAYS. Except, my cat isn't that meow-y, so he instead squeaks in my face with his paws on my throat.

...You may have the coolest name ever. Congratulations.

A few random ones...

-I'm contrary. It seems as though on most things my opinions are the exact opposite of the general public. (Ie--I thought Final Fantasy VII and VIII were only okay--but I love IX. I hate 'Redemption' by Gackt--but I like many other songs by him.)

-To me, Coke tastes like battery acid. That's why I drink Pepsi, if any soda at all. Failing at Pepsi--Dr. Pepper.

-All my favorite things no one has ever heard of. (Dresden Files [the books], NCIS, Disgaea, the Clue movie, Labyrinth...)

-I like old horror movies. A lot.

-Ever for someone who has trouble breathing thanks to allergies, I have a huge lung capacity.

-I hate Shia LeBeouf.

-Megan Fox seems to be proof that you don't need a soul to live. I'm surprised she shows up on camera.

I think the site can handle some of the more... heavy duty stuff, I've taken a few things out that I don't feel 100% comfortable with sharing here. I don't need to scare people anymore than I apparently do. XP

- I was on big-gun anti-psychotic medication when I was nine years old until I turned fourteen thanks to a pure psychological breakdown. This included half a month in a heavy duty, max security psychiatric facility.

- Due to the sheer amount of psychological trauma and bullshit that contributed to the breakdown, I have lost every single memory from 4-5 years old to 15 years old.

- I still have not regained those memories and 15 is very, very hazy.

- Even as a child, I did not (read: still don't) distinguish between genders. Yes, I was the one at 2 years old whipping back shower curtains, pointing at specific bits of anatomy and cheerfully, in the way only a two year old can, going "YOU have a penis/vagina.", closing the shower curtain and toddling off to go grab an encyclopedia out of the garage to look at. I know the physical differences, but the rest is just bullshit in my eyes.

- I'm a high functioning Aspie. (Aspberger's Syndrome; go go autism!)

- I inherited that from my biological father's side of the family; my half brother also has this.

- I did not meet said man until I was 12 years old, in the middle of the psychosis. First thing out of my mouth was, "Where have you been?" I don't think I've ever seen such a look of sadistic, evil triumph on my mother's face before.

- I have no full blooded siblings. All of them are half; two half-brothers, two half-sisters. I am the oldest. Ph34r my authority!

- I have a bet going with myself that I will still be single by the time my sister gets married.

- Secondary bet is that she'll be married or engaged in two years or less to the absolutely awesome guy she's exclusive with right now.

- I get retardedly competitive at times. Hide and Seek? That shit is serious business to me, even if I'm laughing my ass off trying to chase someone down. I'm hiding? You will not find me. Ever. Air Hockey? Watch out, I go for blood. My mother and I threw our shoulders out playing at the beach the last time I was home. It was ugly. bitch kicked my ass, I need moar practice.

- People freak when I suddenly rattle off facts that I should not know. I'll let your mind go into the gutter on what those facts are.

- For those who look into personality types and know what the fuck I'm talking about; I've gone from being an INFP to an INFJ to finally becoming a steady, stablized ISTJ. No, I don't know what's happenedwell, yes I do but, whether or not I'll say is besides the pointeither but, hey, awesome.

- The next time I see Takua, he's getting more than a few hundred boots to the head, he's getting them all collectively shoved where the sun don't shine. At once. STOP LAUGHING TAK.

- I have had every single form of the strep virus/bacteria known to mankind in the first 10 years of my life.

- My favorite girl names are Sybil, Rhiannon, Natalie, Abigail, and Miranda.

- The meaning behind my middle and first name makes me sound like a phoenix, I wish I was kidding. "Rebirth/Reborn from the Ash Grove/Ash Meadow", is what it translates to.

- No one can spell my last name properly- or say it either. My teachers in preschool, grade school, middle and high school could never do it properly. Ever.

- I have seen every member of my immediate family drunk off their asses, younger sister included, and none of them have witnessed me in all my silly, happy nature.

- I have held animals as they died/were dying.

- I have seen a human being die in front of me; the look in their eyes and the way death takes them isn't any different; their eyes are the same.

- When someone says you'll remember the eyes of someone dying in your arms, they weren't kidding. I didn't have them in my arms, but their eyes haven't left my mind.

- I'm considered fairly talented at reading tarot cards for people and find it interesting.

- I love to sing along with songs I know.

- I sing whenever I'm feeling genuinely happy about something or the song reminds me of someone I care for. This goes double for when I'm by myself.

- I usually don't sing when other people are around unless I'm very comfortable with said people/person. The car is an exception, especially if the music is turned up.

- I like to communicate through songs and music; you can usually tell what mood I'm in by what music I'm playing.

- Certain songs remind me of certain people in my life and, after a time, I start to associate that song with that person. Sarah McLachlan's "Answer", for example, reminds me of my mother every time I hear it.

- I hate having my picture taken. Like, really hate it.

- I hate the sound of my own voice when it's recorded. Something about it bothers the hell out of me and I can't stand having to listen to it.

- Ko needs to quit taking pictures/video/recordings of me before I do something rude and not very nice to him.

- He also needs to quit encouraging Inukami-dono to take pictures/video with his phone.

- I have seen Hell, and it involves my mother, younger sister (SpiralVega), and my two "adopted" older sisters (Keeger and Shihaisha) being in the same room as Lyra, Inukami-dono, Dom and Ko. I will not elaborate why.

- According to a site I was reading on, being on the Cancer-Leo astrological cusp makes me Neutral Evil in alignment. I always wondered why I loved the Drow so much.

- I make too many D&D references outside the internet.

- I am the biggest hypocrite when it comes to birthdays and Christmas; I don't want any gifts in the least, but I will totally go out of my way into getting people something they'd want.

- This goes for Valentine's Day too.

- When I finally beat my disorder once and for all, I will be getting my butterfly tattoo with the dates of my fight written between the antennas.

- I hate the sound of the tattoo gun, but I don't mind the tattoo process itself in the least.

- I know how to say "I love you" in English (dur), Spanish, Japanese (both forms), Mandarin Chinese, and French.

- My French is very limited by a craptacular memory, but I can still remember most of a few songs, a curse word (merde!), and a few greetings/introductory words.

- My memory is fairly terrible, but I can still manage to pick up languages almost startlingly easy. Written form, however, don't ask. xD

- I eventually want to be able to fluently speak Mandarin Chinese, Russian and Japanese.

- I have yet to get started on the Mandarin and Russian. XD

- I should be asleep right now and Lyra is going to kill me for doing this instead.

- My favorite song on the face of this planet has never technically been released for the public.

I can play too??

- I also actively play Pokemon Puzzle League and N64, with Fayre and one of my other friends. All the time. We're all REALLY good at it. Sometimes, we'll call it "PPL" as to seem less nerdy if we're out and talking about how much we want to play it later.

- Despite my first point being the same, and this one too, Fayre and I are not the same person. Like srsly. Our AIM buddy names are like... the same because I stole it from her. Witty Fayre is witty, and lame Damek is lame. And indeed. My boobs are bigger. I'm not afraid to say it.

- On that note, yes, I am a girl, for those who still don't know/haven't figured it out.

- I prefer to RP guys, this was started with a character I made for another .hack// RP. I found out I had much more fun pretending to be someone completely different.

- My characters are very alive in my mind, but develop at an RL pace. I don't make them develop, they tell me the next step, and I take it. I try not to make any decisions OOC, as to mess up with their natural progression. Yeah...

- I decided that I wanted to be in Animation when I was in grade 7. I didn't make it right in out of high school, but I refused to give up. And it's totally worth it. I'm in love.

- I am horribly vain. Even if I'm just going to sit at home all day, I might straighten my hair/do my makeup.

- On that note, once I went to school without straightening my hair, and it bothered me so much I went home (my house is only 5 minutes away) and fixed it.

- I make cards for members of my family. Partly because I know they'll really appreciate it, and partly because my mom doesn't want to buy cards and goes "MAKE IT!"

- I am an only child, and extremely close to both my parents. I'd rather have them than a brother or sister any day.

- Fayre is basically the closest thing I have to a sister. Her, and a friend I've had all my life. Their homes are my second and third home.

- I get upset sometimes, when I don't talk to Fayre every second, and see her every minute (lol!)

- I CANNOT PLAY FPS. Don't ask why. I'm good at videogames, I swear! I just... I can't. No matter what the controls are, no matter what the system. It's not even like I need to play on easy, just trust me when I say I can't do it. It took my ten tries to knife a watermelon.

- I have no idea how many points are in this list, I just keep going and going...

- I'm watching Wimbledon! I love watching tennis.

Well that's all... for now!

Had to edit, to include this:

Oh my gah, me too. So much. I've wounded people, and myself. I hit one of my ex boyfriends in the head with the "puck" and he bruised... I also sacked him that same game. >_< but yes. I LOVE AIR HOCKEY. I just forget often, because I don't own it.

Samesies. And mine's not even that complicated... We had to fix it in the phonebook.

I recall kicking your's, Centrus', and (maybe?) Takua's ass at air hockey. WE ARE DUE A REMATCH.

I have about a jillion halfsies. Though I do have a brother and a sister that are full.

Me toooooooooooo.

Even BioShock?!?!?!

I loved playing tennis in High School. I almost tried out for the team after I went to a little tennis camp thing, but I realized I wasn't good enough from playing against the guys on the team. In retrospect, that's probably because they were on the team already. Damn it.

I'm terrible with hands-on things too, but that's because my mother/sister raised me. My step-father tried to get me into cars and crap, but I was always going, "Are we done yet? There's a book/video game upstairs I want to read/play."

Me toooooooo times two.

I'm an initial bug wuss. If I see them when I'm not prepared, I'll back off all rapid-like. However, once that's done, I get stubborn and have to get them. Generally I'll try and collect them in an empty water bottle and put them outside (softy), but will also kill them if I can't manage that (not so softy).

Off topic, but what do you have against National Public Radio? I assume that is the NPR you refer too, as I have never heard of another "NPR".

...I'm perfectly happy drinking coke or pepsi, though I prefer pepsi. People think I'm nuts for not really caring.

And I dunno what they have against NPR, but what I have against NPR is the way my dad used to worship Rush like a god, blast his show the way a teenager would metal (my dad's about half-deaf), and pretty much told me I was going to go to hell if I didn't start doing the same. Fortunately he's snapped out of it since then, but omg @.@'



...Oh, I know another one. Legally, I am my mother's sister.

I'd like NPR if they didn't all speak in monotones. My aunt listens to it major loud when she corrects photos. I wonder how she hasn't fallen asleep.

-Despite having a retardedly simple name, people mess up my name...First and last.

-Like most youngest children, my name is usually a combination of all my brother's and sister's names. My dad gets my name wrong so often, I respond to just about everything. He's even gotten our cat's names before he got to mine. I wish I was joking about this.

But...NPR doesn't play any Rush. They aren't even affiliated with Rush. It's member paid for radio programming. And they don't ALL talk in monotones, though I suppose that depends what state you are in and listening to. They cover news events, stories, and things of interest with informative guests. Of course, they invite on people from all sides, so you get some bullshit guests, but people often call in and chew them out.

If anything, NPR is liberal because they actually allow all sides to be told. Sure they allow on the extremely conservative biased American Enterprise Institute to talk on the shows, but that's the price of being balanced.

I can one up that to the tenth fold.

My father is my mother's uncle, making him my great uncle. Three daughters born from them are my siblings and something that we can't discover a name for. We dubbed them "great cousins." Another of my sisters is my mother's sister, making her my aunt and my sister.

-I have the same conversation over and over with her about this on a bi-weekly basis yet I expect no alternate results to come from it.

5 minutes for 10 dollars, pictures for 5. I accept paypal and cash. No COD. PM for more information.

Inukami-dono my ass.

Inukami-dono my ass.

You don't say =.=

My hate of NPR is due to a few things. One, my parents have a bad habit of "listening to NPR" while they argue in the car. All it does it just makes it hard and annoying for either of them to hear each other so the argument gets elevated. Two, I'm not too interested in the general health of the world. I know this sounds ignorant and something I should be ashamed of - but I don't care what THOSE people think either, so it works. The only news I care about is almost definitely posted on slashdot - so that's where I go for the little slice of the world I care about :P. And three:

((see above tick for explanation))

I hear people argue about all sorts of things, but I don't hate whatever happens to be around while people argue.

It is supremely ironic that you care about news on Slashdot, but not NPR. Many feature stories on slashdot are the exact same things covered by NPR. Supreme court rulings, NASA happenings, politics, and often a few about new tech.

NPR has all kinds of shows. Some are humor, but a lot are about discussions of important topics and expanding ones understanding. I remember all throughout the Iraq war start they had guests for supporting and against the war. They had people on that actually knew what was happening there, instead of the canned dribble that was given on the "normal" news.

Even today they have shows about Iran, which if you compare to the normal US news coverage is a breath of fresh air. The news media, MSNBC CNN CBS ABC FOX, are all so biased in their own ways. PBS and NPR, along with the BBC, are the only real unbaised news outlets that exist in English and have a far reaching audience.

Also interesting, only 23% of NPR listeners had false information on one of three questions about the Iraq war, compared to 80% of Fox viewers.

It's your choice to care about what happens in the world or not. Just don't brush news outlets that care and give in depth facts with a stroke of negativity. Especially calling it "the Devil."

/Rant

...Okay, so I got mixed up with Rush. Oops.

:D Point that I hate talk radio in general still stands.

Hell, I just plain don't like radio usually. I put on my ipod.

I like my news in written form.

- I'm a very cheap date; I'm much more comfortable watching a movie or playing a game with a home cooked dinner/dessert than going out and spending money.

- I just realize how bad that really sounds.

- There is nothing that makes me happier than being able to pick out a book or two from a bookstore online or in person.

- I have been told that being a librarian would be the perfect job for me- except that I'd be fired for refusing to let people check out the books.

- I realize this makes me sound like the Paper Sisters from Read or Die: The TV Series.

- I taught myself how to read before I was two years old by dragging encyclopedia's out from the garage, up the stairs and putting it on my dad's lap before plopping on said lap, opening it up and pointing to a page going, "We're reading now."

- This probably says a lot about my personality. xD

Ditto.

I don't read all of the slashdot articles, obviously. Only the ones I care about which varies. I'd say I hit the majority of the Linux ones I see, but it really depends on the article's title and the subject the title/summary suggests.

I called NPR "the devil" because it is the epitomy of a strange tick I have about not liking recorded voices. It wasn't a personal shot against it - though I do find the subjects that I've been forced to listen to pretty annoying - but maybe that was just my luck.

- I'm very indecisive (just ask Nighthand). Not usually about the small things or the things that don't matter that much, but when it comes to things like picking a career to pursue, picking a college, or hell, just picking a hack--things with long-term implications I can never choose.

- In most cases where I'm forced to pick, I usually settle for things that I don't fully want.

- Most of the time, I guess I just want it all, and when I realize I can't have it all, I wind up not wanting anything at all. This stems from the fact that I'm good at a lot of stuff, and when everyone says I should do what I'm good at, I give them a list of things about a mile long.

- I know a lot. Because of this, I tend to spew random information into conversations that may seem relevant or may not. And on account of this, a lot of people see me as really arrogant (I'm not, I swear x_x).

- I tend to sound really emo from time to time.

- i.e. I complain a lot, and usually not about anything that anyone else cares to hear about.

- I've been single my whole life--never had a girlfriend of any kind.

- In spite of this, and the two or three times I've been burned for asking, my friends tell me that I give some of the best dating advice around.

- In my heart I'm an engineer, but I'm currently enrolled in a Bible college that focuses in Ancient Near Eastern literary analysis (my weakest subject in High School). Go figure.

- I never win contests, but when I do, it's usually something really big.

- During highschool, I used to carry my TI-83 calculator around in my back pocket, and in AP Chemistry class I spent every class session programming it instead of paying attention to my teacher's lectures.

- My sister has Aspberger's Syndrome, which is a form of high-function autism. She was also, until recently, epileptic.

- I work at Best Buy, but I haven't been getting nearly enough hours lately to match what I should be making during the summer. Unfortunately, there aren't any other part time jobs with openings in my area that I wouldn't want to kill myself for working.

- Until recently, I've never really known what it is to work hard, nor what it meant to derive gratification from that hard work. I'm learning, slowly, but it's gonna take a long time to break old habits.

- My family is trying to move to a town 40 minutes' drive away, and is having very little luck getting the house sold.

- Whenever I grow facial hair, I have to grow it really long (i.e. .5 inches) before it starts to look good, because it comes in blond and fades to dark brown at the roots (shaving doesn't make this go away, unfortunately). On account of this, the mustache I'm currently wearing scratches at my bottom lip and often tries to take bites out of my food before I can.

- There are four foods that I cannot refuse: Cheez-Its; Nestle Flipz; Papa Gino's Pizza; and pasta with butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic pepper.

- The red glow from the electo-luminescent crystal elements in my alarm clock tends to keep me awake at night (too damn bright <_<).

- I have yet to find a Bible verse that explicitly says that swearing is a bad thing (that isn't talking about oaths).

- I am 100 pages into a book about computer guts so I can get my A+ certification.

EDIT:

- I have a terrible propensity for killing popular threads. x_x

ACTUALLY. My friend introduced me to the Dresden Files, and gave me the first three books for my birthday. I now love them. x3 He says I remind him of Murphy...

ME TOO!! It's so weiird.

Annnd... sorry, Max. I like NPR. ^^;

Okay, now that that's out of the way, time for me to finally put my own random facts:

-I have two loves, computers and art. Some people find this weird, but it boils down to a common reason: I love to create things. Whether programming, drawing, or building; taking things that were not very useful and turning them into something that is greater than the sum of its parts is what brings me the most joy.

-I like robots. A lot. I was on the robotics team at my school (F.I.R.S.T. robotics league).

-I love being one of the only girls in the computer science major at my school. >3

-I get along with boys better than girls most of the time. I think this is because when I was growing up, I had two sets of brothers living right next door, but no girls on the block. I don't really know how to identify with girls who are obsessed with makeup and fashion, but it's easy for me to understand how guys think (most of the time).

-Except when they're obsessed with sports. I don't get that, either.

-I'm a Christian not just because that's how my parents raised me, but because I've seen people healed in ways that only makes sense if there is a God in heaven that still cares about human beings. I'd love to talk to people about it if they're interested. :)

-I'm not fully comfortable with anything until I understand exactly how it works. howstuffworks.com is my friend! I also have a set of tools and have been known to pry things apart when they stop working to see if I can fix them. I got this from my dad. ^^; If it's fixable, why buy a new one?!

-I'm an only child, but I really wish I had an older brother. Because of this, I have "adopted" two of my friends at college to be my big brothers. :P

-I have a lot of stories in my head that have never been written down on paper. Despite this, I still doodle the characters from them quite frequently.

-The characters for my stories usually come to me fully-formed: personality, clothing, and appearance all included. I just draw them and then figure out where they go in the story.

-I still sleep with a baby blanket that was made for me when I was born. It's in rags by now, but every once in a while I attack it with a needle and thread and piece it back together.

-I can't sleep without said blanket. I have to have something the right size and shape snuggled against my right arm, or I just can't get comfortable.

-When I'm falling asleep, I always start out on my back. This is my 'thinking' position. When I get sleepier, I roll over onto my side, but I can't actually fall asleep until I'm on my stomach. I do this every night, whether I'm conscious of it or not.

-I used to hate the way my drawings looked; it's only been within the last year that I'm finally able to produce art that I am satisfied with. Of course, I can always find room for improvement.

-I hate turning in work that isn't my very best. This got me in trouble the last semester, since I took two art classes at the same time. >_<

*nods* I'm entering a similar period of my life, I think. It's my own dang fault - I lost my $6000 scholarship for bad grades. X_X;

I have soo many things in common with you all. So much that I'm just going to quote it from whichever comes up first in the reverse posting order.

Very. I refuse to have my voice recorded. I also sound like my dad does on the phone.

I have that. I realize that many people who have that are more able to communicate on the internet than IRL with people.

My whole name is Remington Norman Alexander Gravelle. It has nothing to do with the show, the gun, the razer, or the hunting company. Norman is the name of my mom's mother's side of the family in newfoundland.

I have chosen the name for my first born, including time. It's a dream to have a daughter named Lucifera Anna-Alexander Baker (Baker is my mother's fathers last name), born 11:06 on February 18, in either 2011 or 2021.

I plan on having three children, all daughters. I plan that each will have a different last name, to pay tribute to my heritage. Baker, Norman, Gravelle.

I am really into strange things.

This past saturday, I helped three friends to find their Familiars and then used rituals/rites I had learned to connect them spiritually.

I like doing dangerous and stupid things.

I am really afraid of myself.

Hmmmn... I'll give this a go. Nothing else to do... and at times getting things about you out is goods-for-youuuu! *ahem*

- I love cats and often act more like one than as an actual human. And I get along much better with cats than humans.
--- I've layed on floors with cats before, it's quite comfortable.

- I don't like dogs. I'm fine if it's a picture or on tv. I just don't enjoy having them anywhere near me.
--- I almost hissed at my cousin's dog.

- I'm an only child on my Mother's side, but the fourth on my father's.
--- I've disowned my father's side of the family for reasons I'd rather not talk about. So in my terms, I'm an only child.

- I know Watorie offline, he's one of my bestest friends. And he's easilly one of few people I've held long conversations with verbally.
--- I'd much rather have him as my older brother.
--- I miss his pony-tail. It was fun to bat around like a cat does to string.
--- The first time I met him was in the school caffeteria, he just randomly sat down at my table. I didn't know what to make of him since the only time anyone ever would sit at my table would be because they wanted to play the "interrogate the unpopular kid" game. Though he had mainly sat down at a table with someone he recognised from one of his classes, who was also one of my friends at the time. But through him I've met and befriended many people that otherwise I may not of even known about. And ultimately obtained a group to which I felt like I belonged instead of being alone. So even if I do tease him, it's because he's important to me.

- I don't like loud noises. Or any sort of vacuumish or sudden noise.

- I like fish. They're tasty, fun to watch, and tasty.

- My comfort food is rather ... different. It's canned (in water) tuna mixed with salsa (mostly jalapeno with some mango) and mayo (salad dressing).

- I collect Uchiha Itachi stuff in an obsessive fashion.
--- He has the most beautiful red eyes, and so handsome.... *swooning sigh*

- I'm a tad bit territorial...
--- I don't like people on my bed/blankets or touching my video games/fan goodies. I've run out of other rooms just to say "Who's playing _insert game title here_?!"

- I do not enjoy having people randomly want my attention while I'm in the middle of a video game, manga, movie, anime, drawing, or post.

- I can never follow what women are talking about. I also cannot comprehend most fashion for the same reason.
--- I'm comfortable with my T-shirt and pants!

- I don't comb my hair everyday... it takes forever to because it's so naturally curly.
--- I've plucked a strand of hair off my head one, and it was in the shape of a bunch of winding tiny squares like a slinky. O_o;

- I don't really have nightmares. But whenever I do have one, it's related to zombies one way or another. Even the one with the killer lunch lady eventually went to "oh noes! zombies! D8"
--- I NEVER want to be a zombie. Ever. Even though I was raised on zombie movies and lived across the street from a cemetary most of my life.
--- Oddly anough I stopped having nightmares after I got rid of my dreamcatcher. But I can't say that my subconscious mind is a sane place to be. Because really... "Let's Hide with Uchiha Itachi from the Carboard-Cutout Power Ranger Werewolves in a Caffeteria" isn't exactly what I would call sane.

- I have adored the Grim Reaper since childhood.
--- I'm still amused at how the Reaper in Paperboy sidesteps like a crab to get in your way or how he just goes bonkers whenever he sees Pit in Kid Icarus. XD

- Overly-happy people frighten me. Or at least make me feel very uneasy. In contrast, I'm overly-dark and moody and make overly-happy people feel uneasy.

- I've been told that I always look bored. But I will react to someone by the way they act towards me.

- The worst day of my life was the day I lost Mario and Luigi, my cats back in elementary. But I'd rather lose them by giving them to a shelter than what my father wanted to do... which was shoot them... And for around a year or so after that event I wanted to die. It's still a hard topic for me to talk about without tearing up...
--- Due to that event I'm not the best at showing many emotions and died a little on the inside. Which may be a reason as to why I love pictures of myself from before that day ever happened, they just have something that... was lost...

- My first non-childish sentance was "Mommy play s**t!" Because I thought that was what it was called, but it was really just the original Super Mario Brothers for the NES. She only said "s**t!" every time she died.

- I'm not used to being liked by people my age. I often get along with the older generations... So at some point I'll need a cane to shake at those young whippersnappers playing thier hippity-hop on my yard. XP
--- My guess is that I'll likely be an old cat lady when I'm old and gray. And just being grouchy, yelling at the younger generation to get off my property. Hopefully before then I'll actually be rich anough to afford such a great lifestyle! XD

-I've been drinking coffee since I was in Elementary, and would much rather have a "cup of joe" than a "cold one" or any sort of soda/coke. But I don't really enjoy coffee should it be too strong.
--- Give me a Starbucks and watch me actually have dog-like energy! Gosh those things are not only expensive but filled with caffiene. @_@

- I think spam is delicious with potatoes and corn. But not so much with macaroni and cheese. But the best spam is "Spamusement!" which might not be for children, since it's a collection of poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines. Too bad the most current comic is from... dun dun dunnnn June 2007!
--- One of my favorites is "HELLO ME NOT DEAD", even though it is a guest comic. Though I do also enjoy "why your computer is running slow".

- If you cannot tell by now, my mind is "off on a tangent". But I try to stay on topic when talking to people... unless it's Watorie. I can only imagine the looks we'd get if people actually listened to our conversations. Ha ha.

- I tend to mishear people... a lot. (example: This morning my Mother said "I need to wash my face". So I replied "You need to walk the cake?" and then Watorie laughed as Mothe repeated herself.)

- Within the time of my living I have broken my wrist three times so far. The first was while I was a wee baby and fell out of the crib. I apparently grabbed the railing with my right hand and it twisted... The second, I jumped off my swingset (which I never did again afterward) and landed face-first on the ground, smashing my left wrist. Because my father didn't want to pay money, I spent that night having a painful and swollen wrist with ice on it. And the final was in fifth grade, I got shoved on a patch of ice. In the middle of falling I fainted, and when I came to was on the ground. The pusher running away after falling onto my right arm. Least to say I got to take the rest of the school day off in order to get my cast.

- As a child I once got my head stuck in the railing of my Aunt Nancy's stairs. I didn't cry but growled, "GET. ME. OUT."

- I'm quite sneaky. When I first learned how to read I didn't tell my parents and would sit on my mother's lap while she was typing out the Xmas list. Though I eventually was foiled by a parent-teacher meeting when the teacher said I was doing great in the subject of learning how to read.

- I'm always curious as to what other people are playing if I see them with a portable game system. And often if I don't ask, it's not only forced but bugs me for the rest of the day.

- A third of me hates myself (for whatever reason), another third loves myself (for whatever reason), and the final third just doesn't give a darn.
--- I even talk to myself while shopping. It's not only an amusing conversation, but keeps the area I'm in niiiiiiceee and derserted!
