Getting To Know The Community

[Stuge47]

I'm going to start one, but probably won't finish it because I am tired and don't feel as well as I could.

-My Name Is Danny Williams.
-I am a very shy kid. Even at Jams and such, I still just sit around and listen to my music or sleepish.
-Even though I am shy, I am still a kickass good friend to all my friends
-I have a problem of lieing, but I am getting it under control
I am a huuge hipocondriac. I think I am sick or dieing when in reality its just nothing
-I am lazy and a procrastinator with everything except for footbag
-I am 20, and have only worked an actual job for about a month
-Highschool was more of a hangout place for me. It was basically re-learning everything I learned in Middle School
-Currently working towards my HSD and an AA in Hospitality/Travel Agency
-I love Video Games. I was OCD for a lot of them. I HAD to do everything.
-I listen to all types of music.
-If I get my hair-cut, I get an afro that everyone likes... I hate it.

Thats all for now, I guess.

[dp]

-I hate having really short fingernails.
-A lightswitch in my bathroom is cwazy so I have to hit it hard and quick or else it won't turn on. I now hit all lightswitches really, really hard by habit.
-Somewhere between 4-8 grade I realized I really didn't like any of my friends. I slowly alienated them without knowing it, but probably subconsciously. I now pretty much have entirely different friends.
-Neither of my parents like footbag, however they are pretty supportive, taking me to events and stuff.
-I'm a freshman in high school.
-I quit lacrosse and cross country for footbag.
-If I had played lacrosse this year I would've played on JV and had a lot of fun.
-If I had run cross country I would've lettered and run varsity 3-4 races.
-I'm very happy I play footbag instead.
-I got non-stop crap from almost all of my friends for playing footbag.
-I continue to get a lot.
-My oldest brother who's a sophomore in college always has his way with me.
-He will get his cumuppins very soon.
-Both my brothers think footbag is a waste of time.
-I don't like illegally downloading music.
-I enjoy being by myself sometimes.
-My dad always asks me if I have friends if I haven't hung out with any for 2-3 days.
-I enjoy messing around with juggling, biking, running, card throwing, and various N64 games.
-I wish I was mechanically inclined.
-I would learn how to build little robots and stuff.
-I wanna live outside of the US.
-Me and a friend popped some skateboard wheels on a sled and we ride it around everywhere. Both down hills and pulled by a bike and a rope.
-There's a creek near where I live that has a place you can jump into it from around 10 feet up.
-We spent all summer on and off designing a dam to raise the water level.
-The dam raised the water level about 7-8 inches.
-We were proud.
-I hate people who say such things as, "Trust me, I know!" and then either don't tell you how they know and think nothing of it, or say that and then wait for you to ask how they know that.
-Little kids are cool until you get to know them, then they just piss you off.
-Water from the faucet always tastes better.

[the Executioner]

This is the best thread on modified. Ever. I love the honesty of this thread, it's like a therapy session. Maybe I'll do one of these.

[Wasabi]

-I secretly wish someone strong and tall would give me a piggy back ride.
-If there is such a thing like reincarnation, I would like to be reincarnated into a cat.
-... or maybe a rock. Whatever.
-I literally hate how my grandmother is so controlling on the lives of me and my siblings (myself and three cousins).
-Hats just don't look good on me. That disappoints me.
-I want to rival Taishi's and Josh Lewis' immense calves with my own some day.
-I secretly want to rival Taishi's hairstyle as well.
-I think lying down under a warm sun without a care in the world is the epitome of happiness.

[Pyroman924]

-I secretly wish someone strong and tall would give me a piggy back ride.

Ales Zelinka strong or just strong in general? If the latter I could give you a piggy back ride at Worlds.
I'm not necessarily really tall though, just 5' 10''. But I'll stick an umbrella up there too so you stay in the shade and take you all around Disney. Think that would be worthy of a Wasabi bag?

-I think lying down under a warm sun without a care in the world is the epitome of happiness.

I agree, but only if I had my closest friends lying there with me.

[Splint]

I'm 32 years old and just had my second back surgery in 4 years. It was for a herniated disc that was punching on my nerve and leaving me unable to sit or stand and I was in excruciating pain. While I had entertained ideas of continuing to play footbag when the weather got nice again, I've totally changed my mind. I didn't treat my body well enough when I was an active player and now it's letting me know. I still love the game and the innovations are amazing. I hope footbag just gets bigger and bigger and that some people really step up in the US and make a name for themselves beyond footbag as a hobbie.

[Sporatical_Distractions]

I enjoy looking at day old horroscopes to see how well they predicted the previous day. Yesterdays was right on

[Drew]

-I've begun writing with my left hand
-I enjoy typing random symbols on my screen and making interesting combinations.

[pips]

I'm left-handed except for at most sports.

[bigdirtyfoot]

I fast about four times a year for three days each.
I am an atheist.
I enjoy poetry, music, performing, drug reform, politics, science, travelling, putting myself in extreme situations and getting out of them, reading, writing, writing on bathroom stalls, looking at wikipedia,etc.

I have been in 10+ fights.. I've won about as many as I've gotten my ass kicked. Well, I've won a few more.

I am intro-extroverted. It really depends on my mood

I used to play video games. I don't play them as much.

I am a very obsessive person - whatever I'm doing for whatever period of time I will do as much as I can (within healthy boundaries).

I like mind expansion.
I've been with the french footbaggers in the catacombs.
i've been to West Virginia Jam 1, GRASS 1, and NYJ06.
I went to New Orleans before Katrina to work at a trombone festival.
Then the next summer I went to England/Europe to work the next bone festival.
I don't mind really absurd, gross things, as long as I"m in control of the conversation.
I have an inferiority complex.

[The Actual Sized E]

This is always the first thread I check when I get on modified. Here's round 2:

-My middle name is Falcon.

-My three younger sisters all have interesting middle names too: Olivia Teal, Florence Lyric, and Joslyn Raven

-The oldest of them got out of jail about 5 months ago. She was only in for 6 months or so, and got out just in time to have her second baby. Her boyfriend is an asshole drug dealer, and he got 10 years (5 with good behavior) on the same bust. I wish he would have gotten more. She's got a counter on her myspace page that counts down the days until he's released, it really kills me that she's still trying to have anything to do with him.

-I've bought from him out of convenience before on several occasions. That's probably one of the things in my life I'm most ashamed of.

-She turned 21 yesterday, we had a good breakfast together.

-This one time, at band camp... no wait, it was grade school, maybe third or fourth grade i guess. Anyway, I overheard some of the guys in my class talking about sneaking their dad's sports illustrated swimsuit issue and bringing it to school. This was well before I had any interest in girls or anything like that so I had no idea that would be a cool thing to do until they mentioned it. Newly enlightened, I got home from school and cut out a bunch of little pictures of women in lingerie and swimsuits from some catalog, glued them onto red construction paper, and stapled it together like a book. The next day I brought my sexy creation to school and stuffed it in my desk to show to the guys later. I was notorious for having a messy desk, but that was something that was more or less your problem as a student, teachers rarely interfered. So it was very much to my surprise upon returning to class from a break to find my desk empty and the contents piled on top. Everybody saw it, and I spent the rest of the day trying to tell people that I'd been framed. Haha, LAME! But pretty funny too.

-My parents got divorced when I was 7. I have a very good relationship with both of them.

-I have a strong disdain for the institution of marriage and doubt it's a path I'd ever choose to take. It seems unnecessary and artificial to me. That might have to do with my parents, but I doubt it.

-I been to around 27 or so footbag tournaments.

-I used to like collecting things as a child. I did the usuals, bugs, rocks, coins etc. One of the cooler ones was miniature cacti. I still have my basketball cards which is probably only worth a moderate amount of money despite all the time and energy I put into it. I guess the gems of the collection would be a Pippen and a Rodman rookie .

-My mother was raised as a Jew and my father a Lutheran, but neither of them were practicing by the time my sisters or I came around. Religion seems so antiquated to me, and I have trouble wrapping my head around generally logical people who also claim to believe in God in a literal sense. Actually, I think I have a mild aversion towards religious people, which is something that bothers me about myself, but it's a subconscious feeling so it's difficult to recognize as it happens.

-Although I rarely listen to them anymore (because I'm always so busy looking for new music), the Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band. The first cd I purchased was Mellon Collie from some hick on the 38 hour greyhound bus ride to CSS2 with Dan Klokow, Tim Werner, and James Risden. The hick had accidentally switched bags with someone who got off many stops back and was selling the cds he found in the bag to make up for the stuff he lost in his. I got the double cd for $5.

-I identify myself as a Chicagoan and take a lot of pride in it, but rarely do as an American.

-I got into hacky sack from my best friend in high school Happy Quach

[Slowsis]

I am the worlds worst procrastinator in everything except for footbag. Right now I'm supposed to be doing paperwork for mature student application to college, taking a shower, and figuring out how to pay an overdue cellphone bill online, yet instead I'm surfing modified. Good times.

I also take great joy in insulting those who truly deserve it, including myself, yet at the same time always speaking good of those who deserve it, but never myself. This doesn't mean I dislike myself, I just prefer to get positive reaction from others, as I'm going to be biased in judging my own success.

Sometimes I feel closer to my dog than my brother, because we really have nothing in common.

Beer is the best liquid on earth, way better than water or even Redbull.

I love seeing people waste paper. It keeps me employed as a tree-planter in the summer.

When I was a kid at camp, Id always be "it" when we played hide-and-go-seek so I could steal the fruit snacks out of the other kids lunches. I feel this is also a metaphor for my dating life. While some other guy is off hiding somewhere, I tax his Gushers.

[gMoney]

i'm with slowsis on being a procrastinator. i'm at school right now, and i'm on modified. this is the last day we have to work on our power points for french class, and i'm on here. i'd work on it at home, but i don't have power point. i'm pretty screwed

[slapdash21]

gotta say kevin, i think this actually did help bring the community together somewhat. what a great idea.

ok an update from me.

-i started biking everywhere about 2 months ago, to school, to work, downtown to hang out, everywhere. not for the environment, but because the boston subway jacked up their prices.
-i've been "dumped" (hate that word...) several times. i've "dumped" one girl
-i couldnt pronounce the word inevitable until about a year ago. until then it was always "uhhh in...ven...table? shit i cant say that word"
-im a virgin (excluding oral and stuff...)
-i havent used a footbag made by anyone but myself in like 5 months.
-first move i hit with the 2nd to last bag i made was drop from hand>clipper>pdx blender a few minutes after i finished it
-i could NEVER EVER live anywhere rural, and would also like to avoid living anywhere even suburban. if i had my way i would never live anywhere but a city
-the only thing i truly cant stand about boston is the weather. other than that i love it more than a fat kid loves cake.
-this is hardly uncommon knowledge but my favorite footbag move is blender. i have a serious dislike for same leg downtime double dexes
-i watched teletubbys every single day for an entire summer when i was like 14. to this day i still have no idea why...im pretty sure the sun baby amused me.
-i have 8 nieces and nephews. i had another one on the way, due early october, but my sister-in-law lost the baby 2 days ago.
-i've done some pretty horrible things but still somehow manage to hold a hypocritically self-righteous attitude.
-i can hit infinity reverse swirl pretty much on command mid string but i've only hit swirl about twice in my entire life.
-i got a new girlfriend about a month ago. her two best qualities are that she is better looking than any girl i have dated until now and she doesnt mind that i smoke weed. her two worst qualities are that she's only 17 (i'll be 20 before she turns 18. not terrible, but not great) and she lives over an hour away.
-i still maintain high hopes for this relationship, believe it or not.
-i learned more in the two times i tried mushrooms than i did in all of high school
-im probably about to go steal change from the copy machine room in my school so i can buy a slice of pizza. so sad.
-i wanted to be a garbage collector from age like 13-18.
-i've been for 5 years this spring

ok thats enough.
