Getting To Know The Community

[HG]

Share how youve been arrested please nathan.

[Pyroman924]

I like this idea. It may not necessarily create a cohesive community but it's a good idea to get to know those who you chat with online regularly.

I am scared to death of the ocean, big lakes, and deep water in general, no matter how crystal clear the water is.
I love metal, both the music and the actual metal.
I used to play drums but had to stop due to a lack of progress and a wrist injury caused by chainmaille.
I'm taking German.

I've been thinking a lot about things to add to this and I think I'm ready:

I have been in 5 relationships.

The shortest lasted 2 weeks.

The longest lasted 2 months, I didn't even see her for a month.

I am obsessive compulsive when it comes to capitalization and spelling. If
I don't know the spelling for sure, I won't use the word.

I am disgusted by public bathrooms and refuse to poo in them unless there is no other alternative, in which case I put no less than 12 layers of toilet paper down and even after that I hover.

I procrastinate WAY too much.

I wish I had better handwriting, but it doesn't bother me that I don't.

I'm a people pleaser.

I am probably much too open about things with people, but I feel like I'm cheating myself somehow if I don't say what's on my mind.

I get attached in relationships.

I hate flings and hook-ups.

I have 2 cats, one named Mouse and one named Pea.

Mouse is a dumbass and my favorite of the two.

I love music.

I am very empathetic about thigns, if you want an example... just read the thread about the movie Swordfish in the Kicking Circle.

I have only had one hit of a cigarette in my life, it was horrible.

I truly despise my mother. She can be nice, but in all the wrong ways.

I HATE assumptions. My mother makes a lot.

Constant loud chewing and food noises annoy me unless you are a friend of mine.

I like seeing the big picture and viewing opinions from all sides.

I bite my nails. I've noticed I tend to do it mainly when I'm at the movies or in class. I have tried multiple things but haven't been able to stop for more than 3 months in my lifetime.

I love to dance in my house to my music but when I'm at a dance or at a party I don't dance... even though I am very outgoing.

I have no problem starting up a conversation with a complete stranger.

I have even hugged a complete stranger on several occasions. Ever seen that "Free Hugs" video?

I am terrified of graduating.

I haven't even applied to college yet.

I don't know how I will pay for it either.

I LOVE my friends. I cherish every moment with them, and I sincerely feel privileged to have them.

I want to meet more than half the people on this forum. They are just all too kick ass.

That's all for now, I'll think up some more later.

I recently started writing with my left hand, even though I'm right handed, because it is a challenge. (Very cool idea Henry)

It looks like it'll be a long time before anyone can read my handwriting.

Taking notes in Global History (my hardest class) now officially sucks.

[HG]

yeah its hard, compare your right handed form to your left handed. Place your non writing hand in the same spot, put pressure on the same spot you would while writing with your right hand. its still really hard for me. i have to take like 2 minutes to get in the right position lol

[HG]

Another thing about me


-I dont feel pain well at all in my right arm. Just yesterday i was pulling a pizza out of the oven, brushed the oven rack with my forearm, and didnt notice i had a huge blistering burn on it til this morning.

[Sporatical_Distractions]

I bite my nails...

I recently found out that the two leading causes of ruptured appendixes are fingernails and bubblegum

[Pyroman924]

O_o Well I do both.. I swallow gum a lot. In fact, that's all I do heh. How do they end up in the appendix??

[Zeke]

I'm not one to leave things to chance.
I'm not a lucky person.
I like to know as much as I can ahead of time so I can plan and prepare accordingly whenever possible.
I figure it decreases the chances of my bad luck screwing me over.
This applies mostly when dealing with other people.
Sometimes I over plan needlessly.
I'm a poor speller.
I don't type properly.
I'm bad with money.
I've become more of a neat freak at this point in my life than any other time.
Many of things I hate about other people are also things I hate about myself.
I was skinny as hell until college.
Most holidays hold little to no meaning to me
Before I started cutting my own hair in 2003, I had been going to the same barber for almost 15 years.
My family owned an American Bulldog that passed away and I miss him terribly whenever I pass a snow filled tennis court.
Sometimes I just love being in the rain.

[Moxie]

I typed this up over the course of a few days; I'm taking a 2 minute break from HW so I decided to post it. There were at least a few people who posted answers to this in their blogs, which is funny because this thread exists so people can share and read about each other.

I decided to let go and post 10 times as much as most of you.


-When I was young each family member picked their favorite animal so other family members had it easier when finding presents for the person. They picked animals like elephants, pigs, and penguins. I picked unicorns. I was still getting unicorn stuff into my early teens.
-I would like to have a small pig for a pet.
-I’ve had a hedgehog, guinea pig, turtle, rabbit, bunnies, hamsters, mice, fish, cat, dogs, sea monkeys, an ant farm, and my sister had rats that I helped with too.
-I really want to have a dog again. Someone not liking dogs would be a big factor in deciding if they're someone I would want to marry or not.


-I love camping. Love it.
-I went to a chiropractor a week before going to summer camp one year and he cracked my neck against my will, causing neck spasms for months.
-With a different Dr.’s permission, that week I went white water rafting at summer camp on heavy pain killers with a neck brace on.
-I was tetherball champion of that entire summer camp a different year.
-I like fishing.
-I don’t like riding horses.
-I love canoeing and I’m good at it. I’m also good at rowing a row boat.
-I was in a bowling league when I was about nine but it doesn’t show now. Same with gymnastics and dance classes.
-I played the piano for four years, and I took bagpipe lessons until my mother and I got too creeped out by my instructor.
-Although you can’t tell from my performance in F.R. , I used to act a lot. I started performing in plays when I was five, and between 5 to 16 I was involved with (mostly acting but some backstage work too) about 25 plays.
-I don’t have any allergies and I’ve never broken a bone—but when I was a kid I was in the emergency room enough that the attendants remembered my name from visit to visit.
-When I was young I knew that if I ever wanted to be a cheerleader my mother would be incredibly disappointed in me.


-Even early into my teens the bones in my knees were the widest part of my leg except for the very top of my thighs which barely touched. I was so skinny for my entire childhood that people thought I had an eating disorder; I didn’t, I just couldn’t put on weight. I don’t have that problem anymore.
-I was home schooled 3rd through 8th grade, then went to a public high school. I changed a lot during high school.
-In high school people always mistook me for this girl who I didn't think was pretty at all. That has happened to me with a few people too, so maybe I wouldn't like the way I look if I saw myself through other people's eyes. Good thing I never have to worry about that.
-I was a rebellious teenager and did a lot of bad things. I’m glad I’ve gotten that out of my system for the most part.


-The item I like the most in the world right now is my bed. I LOVE crawling into my bed every night, it’s a great way to end the day.
-I might get a job over the summer as a restaurant hostess or something so I can have a valid excuse to dress up.
-With the exception of Canada, I’ve never been outside of my country. Not even to Mexico, and it’s at the bottom of the state I now live in.
-I like cemeteries and visit them when on vacations. I like taking pictures of unusual grave markers. My family always used to do that when we’d go on trips.
-My mother took me to a cemetery to drive for the first time because there was no chance of killing other people.
-I like a little country music. I think it’s because I listened to a lot of Irish folk music and a little American folk music when I was a kid.
-Please don’t tell my boyfriend because he’ll break up with me for sure. Me liking country music and Star Trek would be too much for him to handle.
-My older sister was a Trekie when I was growing up, so I’ve seen every episode of The Next Generation, most of the original series, and a lot of Deep Space 9 and Voyager. TNG is my favorite.
-I can’t eat anything spicy. I’ve been working on fixing that over the last two years, but I’m still incredibly sensitive to it.
-I’m very uncomfortable swimming in deep water, water with plants, or water with creatures in it. So even though I own a wet suite (and have a roommate who would teach me to surf), and I live a block from the ocean, I’ve only been swimming in it three times in my life.
-I envy religious people's belief that they'll see their loved ones in the next life.


-My favorite foods are butter and garlic.
-I have way too many pairs of shoes and way too much clothing
-I like talking about myself.

[scott behmer]

i think this thread is the most usefull one i've seen. even though i can't bring myself to post anything significant just writing it and deleting it is very theraputic.

i love life

[shredzilla]

-OCD, control freak, really sweet until you piss me off then I become the exact opposite (although I've worked on that over the years, I used to just be a lunatic ) Oh I also have undiagnosed CFS which no one ever believes me about even though sometimes I get sick with a fever for an entire week, joy. also, shin splints. which I'm praying go away this time, right now my legs feel super awesome, but that's cuz I've only played like 4 times in the past few weeks. But usually they hurt to the touch.

-Uhm allergic to cats, allergic to basically everything else in the world like trees, beer, bread, that type of stuff.
-A solo shredder. Used to hate it, now I prefer it and love it. I love shredding in front of crowds too, and I'd probably have a decent future doing that.
-I played hackysack on and off fairly seriously for about 10 years before discovering freestyle footbag.
-Favorite move- hm I can't think of what that could be...blizzard? Even though I hardly ever do it. But I like that move a lot. I should work on it more.
-Favorite set? Who knows. Quantum's my favorite to do. Favorite to watch is idk, whirling or something.
-Dream move- Warp, fo shizzy. Even though I suck eggs. I mean, I suck at eggbeaters. Whatev.
-Dream 'walk' moves- Whirlwalk and Firewalk.
-I post way too much on here, but have worked on that too.
-I rarely actually use the damn preview button. I just submit and re-edit. The preview button doesn't give you the exact same view as a submitted post believe it or not.
-Always trying to figure out the meaning of life, but never missing out on the opportunity to SEE the beauty in life.
-Favorite flower is Azalea. If I had a daughter I'd probably name her that or Callie.
-I've had a lot of death in my life.
-Uhm I like video games, but I just sold all of mine cuz I'm moving to the opposite side of the country and didn't feel like dealing with anything but the bare minimum necessities.
-Favorite video games are GTA SA, SSX3, Shadow of the Colossus, RE4, favorite current one is Crackdown.
-Favorite Band- Sublime followed closely by the Charlatans UK.
-I have a few mental complexes that make it difficult at times for me to carry out day to day life, but I've adjusted.
-I was born in July so I'm a Cancer, just like little Clavenator. I often curse the person that named the disease after my astrological sign. I've thought of renaming it Coyote. To me that's more fitting anyway, cuz it's kind of a bad sign, and really the spirit animal coyote matches way better than a damn crab- oh yeah crabs are a disease too. woot!
-My favorite shredder to watch is Takumi Ozawa, favorite vid- Myoujo. Although Sakura is really beautiful too, it shows us how amazing one part of this world could be.
-Favorite color- I like all of em now. Used to be green, then blue, then black, you get the idea.
-Favorite number- Used to be 22. boy oh boy that number sure has a lot of problems.
-Favorite ice cream- Ben n Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake. Dude I found a WHOLE strawberry in mine tonight! Twas quite a highlight let me tell ya.
-Favorite cereal- Fruity Pebbles.
-Favorite potato chip- Utz Sour Cream n Onion with ridges.
-Favorite type of food- Hmm, LOTS but right now probably sushi and Indian.
-I'm fickle.
-I have a friend who I only speak to online, and have done so for the past 8 years or so. He used to live here, and went to school here. I think if the internet didn't exist, I probably wouldn't have kept in touch with him. Even though I only talk to him online, I talk to him every day. In that way, the internet has brought us closer together. But in the same way it has distanced us dramatically because we'll probably never even hang out in person.
-I'm an obvious insomniac if you look at the times in most of my posts haha.
-I'm 31. But I think I got a good 10 years of footbag left in me. So, hopefully I can become guiltless by then lol.
-I never talk about work. You know why? Cuz I'm not a rockstar. So why talk about some lame ass job that has no glory to it whatsoever? Although, to that end, I do want to help people for a living eventually, which I think is where true glory lies. In which case I probably still wouldn't talk about it for fear of coming off as self-righteous. Plus people where I live ONLY talk about work ALL the time. It's ultra-annoying.
-I think I'm gonna get into freestyle soccer. I played with a bunch of spanish guys today and hit ATW, mirage, and legover a bunch. And did a bunch of cool headbutt passes. It was great. I think the guys were impressed. I'll never stop playing footbag though.
-I really really REALLY love footbag.
-I speak fluent spanish.
-I was born in Germany but have lived in the US since then, both parents American.
-I have green eyes that glow in the light.
-Oh yeah, and like Zeke I've been cutting my own hair for about 7 years now. But I use scissors. Again, OCD.

This was fun. Peace.

[C-Fan]

I own a wet suite (and have a roommate who would teach me to surf), and I live a block from the ocean, I’ve only been swimming in it three times in my life.
.

Is that like a room in your house that's filled with water, where you can swim? That sounds awesome.

Her only flaws.

As for me....

Agnostic/liberal/jaded, pessimistic about the world but optimistic about my life.

Home schooled from K-6, when I started going to public school I got interested in girls and also lost faith in humanity. Funny timing huh?

I can break your limbs.

I don't believe in hitting women, but I do believe everyone deserves to be hit sometimes.

I don't consume any stimulants (no coffee, no soda, no cigarettes or meth.)

Favorite animal - Sloth
Dogs>Cats generally
Favorite game - Scrabble

I have a tattoo and want more, but I can't afford it. No piercings ever.

No long hair. Ever. Even though Lon Smith and Joe Crane say it gets you chicks.

My dream: Live in Tahiiti with a beautiful girlfriend who never wants to get married, drive a lamborghini, never have to work a day in my life. 1 dog, 2 cats, no kids.

My reality: Living in Santa Cruz with a beautiful girlfriend who likes Star Trek, drive a ... bike, work for free/stitch. No dogs, no cats, no kids that I know of.
