I was sick all day long and bored enough to fill out the 25 Random Things About Me survey that's going around on Facebook.
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
I'll post mine first and then I tag all MoFoers to copy/paste or imput your own survey thing. ^_^
25 Random Things about Aggie:
1. Although I don't eat every food item out there (I won't touch mayo, I don't like bananas, kiwis and things with weird texture like clams and oysters), I love cooking and I enjoy it.
2. I can prescribe and diagnose certain things although not legally since other than signing when I pay with my CC, my signature is pretty useless. I also have a personal mini pharmacy at my house full of GI meds.
3. I took several years worth of art classes, including caricature, painting and human figure. I draw every now and then but not as often as I used to.
4. When I go to a funeral, the wake isn't hard since I think I'm used to dealing with cadavers. I might stare at the deceased and see if I can detect any signs of trauma... I know I'm morbid like that but it hits me at the actual funeral when they are burying the person. It's more symbolic of never seeing each other again.
5. I sometimes think I should have gone to med school and studied neuro something. I loved my neuroanatomy lecture and have a loving relationship with the brain. Neurotoxicology, neurovirology, neuroimmunology all make me happy!
6. I think Borders and Barnes & Noble are out to get me. I can easily spend hours inside reading and looking up different books. Hence why I have too many books at my apartment, more back home and can't part with any. (What did anyone expect? My mother is a librarian!).
7. When I die I want all my organs to be donated, yeah even skin (it's not like I'm going to be using it). I also don't want to be buried but be cremated, kept in a black jar and then released after a year somewhere that's not the sea (contamination!). Why? I really don't want to turn into a zombie!
8. I believe in magick, fairies, dragons, vampires and other mystical things. Don't ask unless you really want to know more. I also believe in alternative medicine.
9. I have songs in over 6 languages and am learning Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Italian, and am attempting on Greek (yes I do have books and material in all listed languages). I gave up on French since it stopped sounding pretty after high school. My main focus right now is learning Esperanto.
10. I like almost any kind of music style and movie category. I can go from Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Evanescence to Darren Hayes, Madonna to Japanese Pop and Rock to Salsa and Taiwanese ballads to classical Beethoven, Mozart and Instrumental music. With movies I lean toward fantasy like LotR, Hayao Miyazaki's movies, almost anything vampires (Twilight made me laugh and crave donuts with sprinkles), zombie movies are good yet so are certain "girly" movies like Sweet Home Alabama and The Notebook. I try to never miss Grey's Anatomy (Hello Mcdreamy) and House. The keep me sane while making me think about Med school.
11. Hello, I'm almost 25 and I still read manga and still watch anime but not as much as before due to the fact that I have no time…
12. I have been going t the same message board since I was 13. I know many people at the MoFo and it's funny to see how we all grew up and are doing different things with our lives.
13. I have been collecting Sonic Archie comics since 1993 and yes I still buy them or rather have a subscription. I'm missing less than 10 comics to have the whole collection. I just can't part with this. My car keychain is also Sonic (in need of surgery since he's braking). SHH molecule was named after this game character =P More reasons for me to like brain development!
14. I'm a friendly person and like making friends but I don't open so easily and like to keep all my feelings bottled up inside. I'm cancer and I take it very seriously. I'm very sentimental, I won't get offended quickly however I do take things to heart. I can be a +!+*% when I wanted or needed to be.
15. I enjoy taking classes and learning more so than doing actual research. I also like the administrative side of things (dark side) like organizing and coordinating events. But I do like putting puzzles together and linking ideas, hence why I'm actually enjoying working on my comps just like I enjoyed working on my Receptor Pharm project.
16. I would love to travel everywhere. Maybe after I graduate I should just volunteer somewhere around the world.
17. I have problems with anything math related. I can't do math in English and I think I've forgotten all the multiplication tables. I hate doing calculations, yet I have a Minor in Chemistry XD
18. I admire Lin Yi Chen, a Taiwanese actress and have seen most of her dramas. I like watching Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese Dramas which are Novelas but not similar in any way to American Soap Operas (gag).
19. I have a keyboard and can play not very well Pachelbels Canon in D but I may never finish playing it anymore. If I ever do get married I am NOT using this song either otherwise I'll be humming it the entire time.
20. I used to do ballet and I regret giving it up.
21. I sing and dance around the house when I'm bored. I sing very very badly.
22. Must go to websites every time I log in (no order): DeviantArt, Facebook, The MoFo, PHD Comics, Power Rings Sprite Comic, Fanfiction.net, and gmail.
23. I love Puerto Rican food more than anything from any other cuisine. I cannot deny a sancocho, guanimos con bacalao, pollo frito, tostones, anything plantain, arroz con gandules o habichuelas, asopao de pollo, chuletas, and my favorite bistec encebollados!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 I don't think I could marry someone from the US or other cultures (maybe Cuban lol) because I will not sacrifice my food… I don't know how to cook not Puerto Rican food. Although I did try to make a shrimp and peapod casserole and it turned out ok. And yes, as shallow as that may seem, it's very true of me.
24. I miss being with my people back home and just hanging out were it's not constantly freezing. I miss my Geneva the most and even though I know she's old I love my puppy to bits.
25. I have a good memory for events but not date (so I won't remember birthdays etc). In some ways I'm a perfectionist.
I'll give this a shot.
25. I am 1/8th Cherokee even though I look absolutely nothing like it.
24. I'm 1/8th Welsh.
23. I'm 1/16th Irish
22. I'm 1/16th Scottish
21. I'm 1/16th Dutch
20. I was born in the year of the Snake (1989) and according to wiki, my personality is pretty much 95% of that of a snake 0_0
19. I'm a super perfectionist in my own weird way. Like if I play a game and screw up in a part, I know exactly why I screwed up and how that mistake caused it exactly in what fashion exactly yet can never seem to correct it which infuriates me.
18. I'm a liberitarian and damn proud of it.
17. Yes I know we're never going to get into the White House. I'm still damn proud of it.
16. Even though I'm a perfectionist, that's mostly for myself, I don't hold others to that same standard, and I'm a fairly easy-going, passive person.
15. I love metal. Mostly heavy and power metal. Key examples are Iron Maiden and Dragonforce, though I am loving me some Blind Guardian right now. ^_^
14. I'm not really a movie person, as I'd rather interact than let it play in front of me while I do nothing.
13. I love the internet. It is god's gift to mankind.
12. I am somewhere in between Agnosticism and Diesm theologically speaking. I don't mind other religons as long as they don't stuff their word down my throat though (But living in the southeast... *COUGH*)
11. With the above statement in mind, I do not support organized religon. That being said, religon isn't a bad thing to me... hell I love studying religon objectively. I just prefer personal religon and spirituality much more so.
10. I suck at drawing. Badly. Its like epic fail whenever I try to just try and draw a straight line -_-
9. I also suck at painting EVEN MORE SO.
8. I'm actually seemingly developing talent as a poet though strangely enough o_o
7. I love rping. I don't know why. Maybe I like to live in fantasy land? Who knows. I just love rping.
6. I'm 19 years old and unemployed, but that's mostly because the economy is crap and no one is hiring at all. Trust me, I've checked.
5. I'm really awesome at math and all ^_^
4. I've never been on a date in real life, but that's probably mostly due to the fact that I'm super paranoid of people and largely mistrusting of reality in general.
3. I have pretty much accepted life as a virgin and have no problem with it, seeing as my sex drive is as big as a pebble, but that's probably due to depression.
2. I like character's in fiction that are tough and never give up. Don't know why, just do.
1. I'm still waiting on Sega to give me my epic 3D Sonic Game T_T
Copy and pasted from my FB 😛
1. I'm allergic to bees, (deadly) and rabbits (uncontrollable sneezing). Ceez, this means I can never set foot in your place anymore.
2. I'm atheist. And proud. Who knew?
3. I love cats. But thankfully I'm not that "crazy cat person" type of guy.
4. I used to be a huge Sonic the Hedgehog fan growing up and a little bit of that has stuck with me in my art style. Which leads to...
5. I draw. I used to have an online comic strip (www.e-diots.net, now dead). I also have a Deviantart account with all my crappy art. I'm not too thrilled with my art so I don't really publicly share it, so find it if you can. (hint - you won't)
6. I met Stacy, my fiance, in a chat room in AOL back in its glory days. The chatroom was called "I EaT cRaYoNs." I was 14 and she was 13. We "hooked up" When we were both 15.
7. March 13th is our anniversary. This will be our 10th year, counting the online years.
8. I drive 28 miles to work every day, crossing the IL/WI state line. It takes me exactly 30 minutes. Half of you foo's in Miami reading this are probably going, "wow, it takes me 30 minutes to drive 5 miles." Big cities suck.
9. I will watch anything but horror movies. Horror movies are stupid and just give cheap-shock values. Why is it scary? Because you know it's coming and it gets you with the sudden loud noise. Boo.
10. I killed a total of 14 mice. Caught 4 live and set them free. I felt little remorse for the dead ones. I thought I'd be all "ew I can't do this", but you get a sense of "get the %$@% out of my house" that builds up inside you that, no matter how much of a peaceful person you are, you just REALLY want those little #@%$% out of the house ASAP.
11. I play acoustic guitar, and I can still remember how to read actual sheet music after about 5 minutes of looking the sheet over. Mr. Smith would be proud.
12. I can play Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitar songs on expert. I can finish them all with 5 stars 99% of the time.
13. I can play RockBand/Guitar Hero drum songs on expert. I can finish them all with 5 stars 50% of the time.
14. I speed. Constantly. I drive 80mph on the highway all the time. I know all the cop spots. I've only ever been given a speeding ticket once. I've been driving since 2000.
15. I can't dance worth #%$@, coming from a family full of social dancers and club goers.
16. I'm one of three from my dad's side of the family that separated from the family for a long distance. The first was my aunt to New Jersey. Third was my cousin and his family, though not by choice.
17. I saw snow for the first time when I was 18. Stacy took me through the park in the snow and we played in it for a couple of hours. I shed tears because I couldn't believe I had missed this type of fun because I grew up in a crappy city full of heat, rain, and storms.
18. I'm Independent. I believe in some conservative ideals, but I do lean mostly independent. That does not mean I will never hear both cases out.
19. I'm totally for hard immigration laws. If my dad could do it from nothing, so can many other families.
20. We've been engaged for 2 years. Money is tight and a good, cheap wedding with the family included is hard to come by.
21. I'm a huge gamer, though this really is no secret.
22. I'm an amateur web designer.
23. In the garage, we have an Atari 2600, a Colecovision, and a Commodore 64 boxed up.
24. In this room, we have two computers, one flat screen tv in the corner. To that tv we have a Sega Gensis, Sega CD, 32x, SNES, NES, N64, Dreamcast, and PS2 connected to it. By it we have laying a GBA Micro, a Gamegear, and a freaking Nomad.
25. In the living room we have an Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, and a second Dreamcast hooked up. In our bedroom, a slim PS2, Halo Edition Xbox, a GameCube, and a small PSone with the screen.
LOL! Yea this is totally going around on facebook. It's like a cold or something. I'll get around to this eventually.
I'll get around to this eventually.
You say that about pretty much everything! But then again, I guess I do too!
Is there any reason that these '25 things about you' topics are popping up like weeds?
I just saw a bunch on friends' profiles on Facebook.
Alright, I'll bite.
1. I've contracted pneumonia very shortly after I was born. I survived (obviously) but doctors predicted I would be very sickly for the rest of my life. In reality, I get two minor colds a year and that's it.
2. I probably spend more time listening to video game music than actually playing the games themselves.
3. In academic pursuits, I tend to study very little yet still manage to get high marks.
4. I have A+, Network+, and CCNA certifications. All self-trained, all passed first time taking the tests.
5. I own a $400 switch/router (so I can practice Cisco IOS CLI for the CCNA tests, the one part I did study a bit more for...for good reason). In contrast, the most money I've ever put into a desktop is around $500.
6. I have a bad tendency to buy good hardware but hardly any software to take advantage of it. My current primary computer is two years old. The only games I've bought in those two years for it (in addition to what I already had) are Oblivion, Bioshock, and The Orange Box.
7. The first game I ever recall playing is the DOS port of Megaman. Yeah, it's nothing short of a miracle that I still play video games.
8. For some reason, when bad things happen to me, I only angst over the most minor of things. Break-ups? Meh. Getting corrected for getting some detail wrong? CRRRRAAAAAWWWWLLLING IIIIIINNNNN MMMMMYYYYYYY SSSSSKKKKIIIINNN...
9. ...which probably stems from being too much of a perfectionist (only towards myself, not others). Seriously, if I feel like I'm not good at something, I just won't do it.
10. And that's constantly at odds with me being a procrastinator. But I guess I enjoy the challenge of having a more limited time frame to finish things or something like that.
11. I live about 50 miles away from my work and it takes an hour and a half (one way) on a good day. Yeah, it sucks. I plan on moving soon.
12. Anything that normal people put salt on, I use Old Bay seasoning in lieu of it. That stuff is amazing.
13. My pedantic and to-the-point way of speaking on the internet? In real life, it's turned up to eleven.
14. In games with a sandbox environment, 98% of the time, I won't touch the main quest/objective, not even once. Rather, I opt to explore the world and fool around.
15. I still build stuff with Legos and K-nex. First to rag on me for it gets a falcon punch...or a galactic punt.
16. I have a horrible time playing any sport that involves the hands in any way. However, I'm quite a beast when it comes to track and soccer. (or football to you non-Americans)
17. Aside from video game music, I enjoy metal, trance, and j-pop.
18. Sometimes when the computer is kicking my ass in games, I get extremely pissed. However, in the same situation but whith human players (if it doesn't seem like they are cheating or anything), I tend to be extremely mellow about it, almost to the point where it doesn't affect me.
19. My drawing ability is...alright, I suppose. I'm just too lazy to do it anymore.
20. I occasionally visit tech forums. Not to discuss or join or anything, but rather to watch the nerd fights that occur on them. After making a batch of popcorn, of course.
21. Hell, I actually do that for every "debate" on the internet I see (especially ones revolving around politics and fundamentalists). Watching the strawmen go at it is comedy gold.
22. I got a Wii on launch day. I also got a GBA SP 2 days before the real launch.
23. I avoid watching movies in a theater. I find it to be quite a rip-off.
24. Although I consider myself more of a microwave chef than anything, I can cook up a damn good breakfast.
25. When I move, I plan on ditching cable/satellite service entirely. Instead, I'll rely on an over-the-air antenna and the internet for my TV needs.
Did it on my Facebook, too.
1. I was a B average student at Secondary School and during my SAT tests recieved a U grade for Geography. Despite it being my best subject, I somehow got a D in Information Technology.
2. In my lifetime I have thus far cosplayed as Kira Yamato from Gundam SEED, Pip Brenedette from Hellsing, Ron Weasley from Harry Potter and an Organisation XIII member from Kingdom Hearts II.
3. The first musical performance I went to in my life was a Rush tribute band called YYZ. I liked them enough to see them 7 more times over the next 3 years and was good friends with the band and the owner of the venue I first saw them play at.
4. In my lifetime I have owned 4 cameras, 2 were digital and 2 film. I worked proffessionally, at Mintel with 3 different models, a Canon CoolShot and two Nikon D series.
5. I wear my wedding ring on a necklace as it's a few sizes too big for my finger and I dislike wearing rings.
6. Thanks to a stop over on the way to Atlanta, Chicago O'Hare Airport was the first place in America I ever set foot, back in 2004. Suiting, as it's now my local international.
7. In 1992, before Sonic 2 was released, my brother and I went on the Sega Bus and played a beta copy in contest. We both won highest score in our age brackets and recieved Sega Pirate TV goodies and certificates. The lady running the event said I was the loudest contestant/winner she had dealt with, as I was shouting how well I was doing to my brother half a bus away.
8. I own a one of a kind Tails Doll plushie modelled after the character from Sonic R. As far as I know, it's the only one in existance.
9. I once stayed in an IMAX cinema for 15 straight hours (5pm-8am) watching a grand total of 6 feature films. On the same day I attended an anime convention.
10. When my favorite comic was cancelled I called the publishers office, arranged a meeting and sat down with the editor in chief for fifteen minutes to "interview" him for my website and get a straight answer as to why they would do this. I was 16 at the time.
11. I am a certified hypnotist and have been practicing since I was 17.
12. I had police bring me and my brother to our doorstep for trespassing in an abandoned building with a bunch of other kids from the housing estate.

14. I was in London Nautical's choir for 3 years and performed at Southwark Cathedrel for Christmas
concerts.
15. When I was young I pushed the family cat off of the 4th floor balcony, it survived and was forever named Lucky. Oh and it forever scratched me.
16. At Mintel I only wore shoes to and from the office, never during work hours. Also I wore a leather pouch I purchased at a LARP event containing my electric key for the doors there, a birthstone I recieved from a friend and a wooden rat (my chinese birth sign) given to me by a co-worker. I still have the pouch in my sock drawer with all contents.
17. While in Secondary School I participated in the Burger King nationwide Pokémon League. I earned a Boulder Badge but did not proceed to the second round for some reason.
18. I have a scar above my left cheek which is only visible when I smile, I got it by falling from a cupboard onto the metallic side of our drawers. At Primary school it earned me the mocking nickname "dimple"
19. Since moving to America I have only had one pair of jeans which I have rotated, always promising I would expand my wardrobe when I started working (I've been in America 7 months and only just got my work permit last week)
20. I once held multiple world records for time trials on the game Sonic Rush for DS. The last one was broken May of last year
21. I have taken part in National Novel Writing Month twice and succeeded both times.
22. I can recite Transformers The Movie (1984) from memory.
23. During my wedding ceremony I messed up big time and when asked to "put the ring on her third finger" I put it on her middle finger, I even remember doing it twice due to confusion over the term "third finger". I wish he said "ring finger" God I'll never live down that embarrassment.
24. I have seen Wicked 4 times, second time I was front row center in London and saw Idina Menzel and got her autograph after the show.
25. I had a brief stint with the Beaver Cub Scouts when I was young.
I did this on facebook but everything I said was entirely untrue. I won't post it here because it won't be funny to folks that don't really know me iRL.
F-it, I'll do it.
1. I'm 45% Italian, 40% polish, and 15% Swiss/german/irish/native american (Yeah, there is a bit of that in me thanks to grandfathers side.)
2. I spent 4 years as an F-15E crew chief in the air force, loved it but left due to lack of morale.
3. The fall is my favorite time of year while the winter, nice as it can be, is my least favorite.
4. I've been to nearly every state east of the Mississippi river, along with California, Nevada and Arizona, but only traveled out of country to Canada and the Bahamas.
5. I've been in a long distance relationship for about 5 years now and thing are still going quite well despite each of us living on an opposite ocean shore.
6. I'VE MET RICO AND DUBS IN THE SAME PLACE AND AM STILL ALIVE TO TELL MY TALE!
7. I've had a stuffed animal bunny since before I could remember and it's still with me on my shelf. It's name is Bunyo, lol

9. I love playing paintball at big scenario games and usually use an Automag, a gun older than most kids who I play with.

14. I LOVE Power Stone, Rush 2049, the old armored core games, all ace combat games, older sonic games (and adventure series) Wario Ware, older smash brothers, and just many more games.
15. I HATE pineapple pizza and believe it to be a sin against the pizza gods.
16. I also hate parsley and almost threw up one time because I ate a piece of it and thought it was something else.
17. I have no political preference, minus that I prefer to stay away from politics because it can get me on a rant phase. I believe the people are the government and should stop letting others do the job.
18. I spent a whole year after the military not working and living off my saved income. It was great, a whole year of "retirement" where I traveled and did whatever I wanted and loved it.
19. I drive 55.5 miles to school every day from inland to the coast. That's 111 miles a day, 555 miles a week.
20. I thought of the name Fexus while taking a shower.
21. I played sonic for the first time in 1991 when my cousin bought a genesis. I pleaded with my aunt to stay overnight, then my cousin and I played until some ungodly hour in the morning just trying to beat the game. An obsession was born that night/morning.
22. I'm prone to always go with the underdog/less known road or most underestimated way simply to give myself a disadvantage for some reason. It gives me a sense of pride to succeed under harsher terms, and I don't feel bad if I don't succeed because I did what nobody wanted to do.
23. My "fursona" Character is a raccoon/fox mix simply because I see both animals around where I live even though most people never really do. Much like how I'm always around but easy to hide from the public, lol.

25. I drive a 1992 Black Volvo 240 that I'll keep resurrecting from the dead provided I have the money to do it still. 256,560 miles and counting.

Is totally a drug dealer.
1. I have always lived in the east midlands tri-cities - I was born in Nottingham, raised in Derby and live in Leicester. On the same note as far as I'm aware I'm British blooded through and through. Well i probably have some roman/viking/etc in me but that doesn't count.
2. My household is one of two members of the family who live nowhere near the rest of my family. My family is based in the north-west, around Manchester on my dad's side and a little more south than that for my mum's side. The other member who is far from the rest of us puts us to shame though. My great uncle lives in Canada.
3. I have drawn, according to my mum, from before i could walk or talk, thus from before I can remember. However this is a pretty common trait among artists so this isn't a very interesting fact
4. My earliest memory is watching Cliff Richard on TV while eating coco pops
5. When my sister was born my Gran looked after me. When Mum was well enough again to have visitors Gran decided to let me dress myself for a laugh for the visit. I chose my favourite dress, and tucked it into a pair of leggings. This seems to be a forewarning of the lack of fashion sense i have now. Mum still finds it hilarious.
6. I have a habit of headbutting the ground/saving my hands with my face when i fall and have a scar on my forehead and a chipped tooth as proof. The scar on my forehead is visible but quite small, so people don't tend to notice. I haven't won yet =( You cannot win against the ground
7. I've always owned pets, from dogs and cats to rabbits and hamsters and fish. As a result I am very much an animal person and find it hilarious when people visit who are scared of cats, running out of the room when my cat slinks in.
8. I absolutely adore cheddar cheese, and love many other cheeses as well such as Edam, Red Leicester, Austrian Smoked and Dairylea, Laughing Cow and Philadelphia. I used to always poke at my eyes when i was little, giving myself eye infections constantly, and mum used to bribe me with cheese to lay down still while she gave me my eyedrops. Nowadays I'll put cheese on pretty much anything. In contrast, I hate seafood of every kind. And baked beans actually make me sick.
9. Since I'm talking about illnesses I've had tonsillitis a total of five times and still have my toncils intact.
10. Marmite is delicious. Fact.
11. I have always hated sports ever since I was little, with the sole exception being motorsports. Just can't abide them.
12. I do not remember the first game I ever played, but one of my earliest memories is playing games on our Amiga such as Breakout, Asteroids and my personal favourite - Lemmings 2. My first go on a console was at my cousin's house, playing Sonic 2
13. My first handheld console (and first console altogether) was a Gameboy Colour, and first game Pokemon Yellow. My first games console proper was a GameCube and the first game I got for that was... SA2:B I think. The first games console I actually wanted was a Dreamcast but Mum and Dad told me it was too expensive and I'd have to get it for a joint birthday/Christmas present. That never happened because it went out of production first. I've only had two consoles since, the DS Lite and the Xbox 360. My sister has a PS2. The 360 is the only one which still gets used.
14. Like Fexus, I do not like to be late and therefore tend to overestimate travelling times. Unless it's college. Then I just saunter in when i like.
15. My grades somehow have deteriorated with every key stage. SATs was level 6 (high) except English, GCSEs were mixed with 4 As, 1 B, 2Cs and 3Ds. Alevel was disappointing with BCE(de). I am expecting no higher than a merit and realistically reckon I'll get a pass for my foundation.
16. Since getting together with Wes, I have become a public transport expert. I know what train to get from where and the same with buses
17. Talking about Wes, I have been together with him for over two and a half years. Three on May 13th. 13th seems to be a popular date.
18. I am a terrible cook, with the exception being pancakes (of the crepe variety). However I can prepare packet meals fine.
19. I have been on a plane a grand total of twice, one there and one back. I got my very first passport around two years ago. While this isn't a particularly big deal to an American it is increasingly rare for a Brit to not travel abroad. On the subject of holidays I have had 4 proper holidays and one week-long school trip in my lifetime so far. In order the places were Brixham (Devon), Brixham again, Isle of Wright (school one), Brixham again again, and finally Corfu. The one time I have been out of the UK for Corfu was with Wes' family rather than my own. Parents don't do abroad. I am hoping to go with his family again this year for Majorca/Manorca (can't remember which one's which) but it's still up in the air. That's one of those places I've always wanted to go 😮
20. I'm mostly T-total due to my dislike of the taste of alcohol. This again is unusual for a Brit my age as pretty much everyone in my age group gets absolutely plastered every weekend. The limit in the UK btw is 18 rather than your wierd American ones where it changes with every state. I can sometimes drink certain cocktails or spirits but only when offered one. I don't go out of the way for them.
21. <- is the date of my birthday. 21st June. Midsummers day. Also same day as Prince William of all people :O
22. My true love for learning is Human Biology but unfortunately due to poor work ethic I fell off the boat in Alevel and got too poor of a Chemistry grade to continue. My Biology grade wasn't as good as it should have been either.
23. I love drawing people, in particular people I know, and have little interest in drawing much else. However, I dislike Life Drawing classes.
24. I love Italian food more than any other kind out there. As a result I would love to go to Italy. My least favourite type of food is Chinese, I like none of it. The country I am most likely to starve in, however, is Japan, due to them eating sea food and nothing else. I'd be living off them rice balls they have :O
25. I cannot follow a train of thought very well, hence why these answers are all over the place. Also - it took me two days to fill this out. D:
Funny thing is, these are so long, I bet only 10% of people are reading these. XD
I know I'M not. I only read the first one that was given to me. Yeah. Patience is not on my side.
I'm reading all of them! 😀
You must really be bored. lol
@ Craig: Btw that Tails Doll plushie that's one of a kind:
Is it this?
Yes, V2. That is my TD. Like, those 3 photos are of the plushie which is physically residing in my bedroom right now.
TheChaoGarden.com lady did not make a second one.
Guess I'll give it a go too.
1. I'm half Welsh but born and raised in England thus am English even though I also have Irish, German, and Belgian heritage.
2. I love drawing characters.
3. Lately my drawings have been rather crap.
4. Sonic was my main influence to draw more as a child, though the first pic of him I drew I got the colour of his legs wrong.
5. I still think the Green Ranger was the coolest Power Ranger. <.<
6. My last bike was stolen.
7. I often come up with ideas I'd like to see for games.
8. My favourite cartoon of all time is Batman The Animated Series.
9. I get quite annoyed at the bashing Superman receives.
10. I find Bruce Lee's philosophies on life very inspiring.
11. My glasses are a little too tight.
12. I play my PSP or DS in bed as aid for sleep.
13. If that fails I try drawing.
14. My first console was a Master System 2.
15. In the 90s I collected an X-Men series of comics called The Amazing X-Men, when I tried to look up that title it seemed to be completely nonexistent, I eventually found a cover from the series online and found it was really the Uncanny X-Men series, just renamed for the UK.
16. I actually like the recent TMNT cartoon series.
17. I also like The Batman, and love Spectacular Spiderman and Wolverine and The X-Men.
18. I'm a big fan of old arcade Beat 'em ups and Fighting games, especially 2D ones.
19. I yearn for a new Streets of Rage or Final Fight with co-op play over XBL.
20. I've lived in this house for 21 years.
21. I'm 22 years old.
22. I've recently came to terms with my atheism, calling myself agnostic felt like a less assertive term, but wasn't befitting of my beliefs.
23. I really want to know how the Venus Fly Trap evolved, not that I doubt evolution, it just perplexes me.
24. I have a great desire for exploration of space, yet for some reason never got into Star Trek.
25. I can be quite indecisive.

I have read the genuine posts in this topic, and may add mine at a later date. Also IQ does not link to common sense/behaviour etc, just how good you are at non-verbal reasoning et al.*pets susan's iq*
Just did this on ye olde Facebook, so have at you MoFo!
1 - Nobody strokes my ego better than me. =D
2 - If it wasn't for video games (Sega consoles and games specifically), I'd be bat**** insane, on meds and seeing a shrink several times a week. Thanks video games!
3 - Everytime I have a shower, I have a conversation in the mirror with myself afterwards. Usually, this goes hand in hand with point 1.
4 - I don't shave my goatee/beard off because you can see my double chin if I do. =(
5 - I write heaps of song lyrics, but never actually perform them with a band.
6 - For most people, loud screamy fast paced metal makes them all riled up and gets the adrenaline pumping. For me, it relaxes me, calms me right down.
7 - I LOVE breasts. If you're female, and you ever want to cheer me up, flash me. Works 100% of the time, from bee-stings to watermelons (Provided you're at least remotely attractive. No granny boobies, please).
8 - I'm horribly nerdy about a lot of things, and I love it when people try to start an argument with me about things I KNOW I'm right about. This happens a LOT at work (I work in a video game store).
9 - No matter how much you try to argue, no matter how vehemently you deny it, Starscream always has and always will be the best Transformer ever.
10 - The most comfortable item of clothing I own is a torn and ratty old pair of jeans which I refuse to part with, despite it having holes in both knees and a massive one in the crotch area. By that note, my Rammstien t-shirt is the same (ratty and holey), and together, they are the most comfortable outfit ever.
11 - That being said, I absolutely LOVE suiting up. I even have a shirt I call 'Antonio' (After Antonio Banderas) especially for suiting up. I own three suits (With plans on owning many MANY more), and I'm still looking for a reason to wear the newest one.
12 - Being a pale skinned ginger, I hate hot weather and burn incredibly easy. I'd much prefer to walk outside in the morning and be greeted with a sharp, cold wind and frost on the grass. That said though, I don't mind a nice warm day, especially when the ladies wear less.
13 - I despise mornings. This is mostly because my body has an internal clock set about 5-6 hours behind everyone elses, meaning I'm up until late, and I never want to get up in the morning because that's my sleepy time.
14 - Dr.Pepper is truly the liquid of choice for many dieties, including myself. True fact; Dr.Pepper helped me through a medical trauma!
15 - Can't ride a bike unless the training wheels are still on.
16 - My dream car is the DeLorean DMC-12 (The car from Back To The Future) and I have plans to own one before I turn 25.
17 - I swear a lot. Not because I lack the vocabulary to substitute a better suited word, but because a good solid 'f---' can say it better than a lot of other words can.
18 - A majority of my school reports read the exact same. "Incredibly capable student, but unwilling to put in the effort". So brilliant, but lazy. =P
19 - I often throw quotes from movies, songs or video games into every day conversation, and then feel incredibly proud that not only did I do it, but that the person I'm talking to didn't even notice.
20 - I have no real plans for the future. Can't complain as long as I can pay my bills and do my thing. I'm happy with whatever.
21 - My two biggest fears are spiders and zombies.
22 - I can be cold and logical about some things, but incredibly passionate and emotional about others.
23 - My iPod and Skullcandy headphones (lol product placement) are the best damm purchases I have ever made. They go everywhere with me, and my lovely music keeps me sane, whether it's on a bus full of bogans, on a lonely stroll somewhere, or just kicking back and relaxing on my bed.
24 - I hate talking about myself, so getting these 25 things out of me is quite the accomplishment.
25 - And finally, I'm not tagging a single friggin' person on this, because I refuse to be one of those douche bags who always send you invites and requests and crap like that on social networking sites. I don't mind receiving them, but I refuse to become one of you. =D
When I last checked my IQ, it was in 5th grade, to be placed in the gifted classes. My IQ was at around the 130s area, or shy of that. My guess is, after I left the program in 9th grade, my number probably shot down to, like, 10 or something. *shrugs* That's what I feel like, sometimes, though. Maybe my brain exploded.
I tried to do this before and ran out of points at 17. So let's try again.
1. I didn't speak at school until I was nearly 10, when I moved school. If I hadn't done so I would probably have gone through high school not talking too. I don't think it was completely to do with me being shy but I dunno.
2. I'm missing half of my right middle finger. A gust of wind slammed a door shut on it when I was 3, it was reattached but my body rejected it. (nice)
3. I stare at a laptop or TV screen for about half the time I'm awake and I still have perfect 20-20 vision.
4. The only hair that grows on my back is in a small patch about half way down.
5. I have a fear of needles.
6. My ideal sandwich is cheese, ketchup, brown sauce and cheese and onion crisps.
7. My favourite subject was (and still is) maths, despite it constantly being my weakest subject throughout school.
8. I have one brother and one step-brother.
9. The first thing I notice about someone is their hair.
10. I love my open shirts and you'll always see me wearing headphones no matter what.
11. When out, I'll have my MP3 player in my left pocket, and my phone, wallet, keys and handkerchief in my right.
12. I don't smoke or drink.
13. I can recite approximately the first 30 seconds of "Rappers Delight" by the sugar hill gang
14. When I go out I have a glass of Pepsi and make it last the whole night.
15. If I'm going to do something really life changing important, I usually have a haircut beforehand. Dunno why.
16. I won't eat anything with onions in it (apart from cheese and onion crisps)
17. I am asthmatic, so stuff like bleach makes my body go into a complete shutdown.
18. I don't like winter because the cold cripples my lungs, and spring and summer give me hayfever. Roll on autumn.
19. My favourite colour is sky blue.
20. I'm pretty sure music has been in decline since 1991.
21. I enjoy taking walks at night by myself for hours on end and have done so since I was 14.
22. I spend too much time gaming and unlocking achievements.
23. My lower body is considerably more well built than my upper body.
24. I don't have a temper and my patience and tolerance for things is legendary.
25. When someone says something to me, I always respond firstly with a smile (genuine, forced or otherwise)
...That was difficult.

25. Lists
Here I go:
1. I am a Christian who also beliefs in karma and the belief that everything is balanced (good/evil, dark/light, etc).
2. It's only rumors (and a possible stretch, Yi is a popular Korean surname) and my family tree logbook is stated to be missing, but according to my old man, we are descendants of King Sejong the Great. He's the man responsible for creating the Korean language you see before you today (prior, we used hanja AKA Chinese letters). I don't think I'm a direct descendant though.
3. I have a small scar located near my right elbow I got when I was nine. A friend hit me with a rusty pipe to prove my dodging skills. You can put two and two together.
4. The Harlem Globetrotters once came to my school assembly. I was picked by one of them as a volunteer to help them perform a trick when I was about...eight, I think.
5. As a dog person since the age of seven, I am absolutely livid whenever the media always portrays females as cat owners or usually make cats females instead of the other way around. I absolutely adore dogs. I also hate the fact that people still need to make a big deal about girl gamers. We're more common now then we were later, so much so that it isn't a big deal anymore. Sheesh.
6. I used to take tae kwon do and kumdo (Kendo).
7. I've been drawing since I was two. I am currently twenty-two. My early memories of drawing at that age was scribbling on the wall with a green marker (which I have a picture of) - ahaha, abstract art, doodling the Smurfs, and castle walls. Ahaha. I plan to be a comic book artist and my original work is currently under heavy construction.
8. Unlike other stereotypical Asians, I suck at Math and Science, but I exceeded in History and English (and Art).
9. I am a picky eater (which is uncommon in my family). I especially HATE oysters (bad memory when I saw my little sister opening up an oyster to find a whole starfish inside--lost my appetite for them since).
10. When I was younger, I had an odd habit of randomly walking around the house for a short while, usually to get an idea that's in my head churning.
11. I am afraid of heights, needles, closed spaces, and at random times, blood. (Yes, I am the neurotic and panicky type)
12. Once, my Environmental conscience 12th grade science teacher mandatory made us enter a contest to draw a poster dealing with environmental concerns of the world (it would later be inserted into a calender). I was the only 12th grader out of the entire tri-county area to win. Unfortunately the prizes weren't money. *frowns*
13. The only video game I've ever gotten during its launch day was Zelda: Majora's Mask, to this day, my all-time favorite Zelda game (I know some Ocarina of Time people are glaring at me now).
14. My favorite movie(s) of all time is the Back to the Future trilogy. I love time traveling stories.
15. The biggest obsession I've ever had was the Crash Bandicoot series, which lasted from 1997 to 2002. The longest (but not the biggest) is the Mario series, since 1990 to...well, now.
16. I have lived in Korea for the majority of my toddler years (ages 2-5). My parents at that time did not have the money to take care of me and my then newborn sister, so I was sent to live with my grandmother in my native lands...er...pennisula. It took three years for them to bring me back. I've visited Korea again when I was six and nine for summer vacation, but have yet to return to it since.
17. It is my desire to learn how to ride a motorcycle and a biplane, but I don't really want to learn how to drive a car (yes, I'm in my 20's and still do not have a license--I failed my driver's test and hadn't the time to relearn).
18. I have a bad memory and with it comes absent-mindedness and tendecy to repeat myself. I have literally dozens of notebooks where I have to write any story ideas I have because I favor stories with continuity (not so good for someone with a short memory span).
19. I am an admitted Pepsiholic.
20. I am attracted to older men, usually between ages 30 - 50's.
21. I am a bit misanthrophic and call me crazy, but at times the idea of world domination appeals to me. Gehehehe.
22. My current obsession is Danny Phantom. It saved me when I was almost ready to give up on cartoons (because of lack of any interesting ones) and I consider it one of the best cartoons I've seen in the longest time. Too bad it was screwed by the network.
23. For all ya long timers, you will remember me as the chick who was obsessed with Remington from the Sonic comic. Kinda legendary for it, I guess. My interest in the comic has waned, but if it helps, he is STILL my favorite Sonic character and I still draw him ocassionally to this day.
24. You can tell I'm running out of things to say about me.
25. So here's one about my dad: During his days in the army (drafted), he managed to reach as high as major, he retains a third degree black belt in tae kwan do, he was briefly president of the Philly's Korean Gun Club and has won second place in the men's shooting contest (mom won first in the women's shooting).
When I was five (though I wasn't there), a burglar that took place at my father's friends store prompt him to get his own gun out and threatened to shoot him. The Burglar repeatedly was scared #%$+. Apparently, my dad was said to have kept his cool. My dad is a badass and I respect that man too damn much.
I should probably do one of these.
1. I'm female.
2. I have tics. I jerk my facial muscles, neck, and shoulders; and make little noises in my throat. I can't help it, and thinking about it just makes it worse.
3. I'm a huge animation nut. I like an assortment of preschool toons, educational toons, kid cartoons, adult cartoons, feature films, Eastern and Western animation, etc. I have a large collection of these on DVD, too. My dream is to someday work an animated feature films.
4. I consider myself an audiophile. I have a large music collection with a variety of artists. I generally prefer stuff that's energetic and fun to listen to. As you may or may not have guessed, my favorite genre is hip hop. My second favorite would have to be soundtracks--film, TV, Broadway, video game...
5. I love to look at and organize media. I have a compulsion to organize by size or alphabetization.
6. I'm an animal-lover. =3 I love domestic and farm animals, wildlife, fish, creepy-crawlies, you name it. I currently volunteer at the county animal shelter--the ladies there have been calling me "the pet whisperer." =D After I finish cleaning, I go play with critters for the rest of the time I'm there.
7. When I'm alone, I'm almost always talking to myself. I could be singing, repeating lines from movie/TV or a past conversation, or just gibbering nonsense words. I tend to make animal noises back at whatever critter I'm playing with; I can make cat noises, goat/sheep noises, guinea pig noises, and have been working on imitating this noise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCUt5NRgpvg
8. I always have the urge to hold something. It can be as mundane as a pencil, book, purse, or eating utensil. In my room, I'm usually at my bed or desk, where I'll hang on to a stuffed animal or a character figurine. If I'm in bed reading or just watching TV, I arrange myself in a very specific way with my blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals. I need to hang onto something with my hands and feel pressure around some areas, which helps with the tics I mentioned above.
9. I have no interest in dating, having a boyfriend, or having sex. None at all. That said, I do find a very small number of males to be good-looking and I have only ever had a crush on (**SURPRISE!**) Eminem. <333
10. I have a strong interest in geography and world cultures (languages, religions). My coin collection ties into this. The areas I have the most interest in are Africa, and currently, the far north (think Arctic Circle and Greenland), and India. I took a class on Eastern Religion last year and enjoyed it very much. Hinduism is quite yummy!
11. I have a very sensitive stomach. My eating habits are a result of that, plus being a little emetophobic when I was very young. Being overly hungry gives me a tummy ache, so does being full, eating sweets, and being active right after eating. I deal with it by eating smaller amounts throughout the day. I was tested for a stomach disease when I younger, and it came back negative.
12. I played violin for three years a while back (from age 10-13, I'm now 20). I stopped because I had to drop music to take art, and playing hurt my back (I have a bad back thanx to a sledding accident in 5th grade, and probably genetics). Though I haven't played in years, the violin player in me has never left. I still make fingering motions with my hands as if I'm playing, and still listen to music and imagine how I'd play it on my violin. Today, it has given me advantage with playing Guitar Hero on DS--the fingering and arm motions required are very similar to playing violin. =D
13. As the IRC chatters already know very well, I'm a weather-holic. I always keep track of the weather not only in my area, but across the U.S. I especially love bad weather--thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes--and get very excited if one comes my way. Though, I get scared if there's a potential a tornado is actually near my house. The one time that happened, we were in the basement, someone on my brother's ham radio said "tornado touch down at [intersection a few miles from my house]", and the electricity in the house flickered. My love of severe weather also ties into my fascination with the Emergency Alert System.
14. I get dizzy easily. This didn't start until high school (I bet stress and anxiety is a factor). It's especially worse when I get close to my period. Looking at a patterned carpet, aisles in department stores, and stirring have all made me dizzy. I've gotten motion sick easily for all my life; I can avoid in the car by looking out the window and listening to music. This is one of the main reasons I don't play console games anymore. =/
15. I really need my sleep, and I like my sleeping schedule to be "normal." I don't like being awake past 1 AM, and don't like sleeping past 11 AM. If I have to wake up early, I give myself about 8 hours of sleeptime. If I don't get enough sleep, I don't feel well the next day. =/ I get a headache, and more dizzy and more light/noise sensetive than I already am.
16. I was a cheerleader when I was 8, and played soccer (horribly) when I was 6. That's it for me and team sports. The physical activity I do enjoy is walking, bike riding, swimming, and the like. I'd really like to take up horse riding.
17. Last year, my roommate said that I know everything about TV. Television is a huge part of my life. I'm interested in channels, programs, schedules, ratings (as in, TV-Y, TV-PG, not how many people are watching), and facts and figures.
18. I'm 20 years old and do not drive. I have driven, I've done it on a high-traffic road, and used to have my learner's permit. I don't drive because it's too scary. It makes me anxious, and the split-second decisions and this and that are all just too much to handle.
19. My hearing is extremely sensetive. Right now, it's gotten to the point where I can't stand to hear some high-pitched noises--silverware scraping on plates or alumininum foil or plastic wrap crinkling. Sometimes people think I'm hard of hearing, and it's because of how I process speech. If someone talks to me, it interrupts whatever I was thinking about and sometimes startles me. A lot of times, what people say to me sounds jumbled up and I need it repeated. Sometimes, if I miss just one or a few words of what someone tells me, I need it repeated. I don't always know when someone is addressing me, and I can't answer a question unless it's phrased as one, and is a single question. I don't like it when someone asks two at once (Do you want to do something do you want to go the mall?) and it drives me nuts when people say statements and expect to me to know they meant it as a question.
20. I love puns (the cornier the better), wordplay, and rhymes. That's one reason why I like rap so much. =D
21. I read the end credits of TV shows and movies.
22. I enjoy long road trips because I don't have to do anything but listen to music and watch the world go by.
23. My kitten is a brat.
24. Yes, I ran out of the things to write.
25. .....time for me to leave now, anyway. X)
