I don't even know ten things about myself... Let's see what I can come up with.

1. I can sometimes be a perfectionist.

2. I'm 23 and already past my partying days.

3. I used to eat grasshopper's heads when I was a kid just to gross out friends.

4. I'm one of the most stubborn people I know. Whether that's good or bad I'm not quite sure.

5. I can't wait to be a dad, yet I know financially I can't do it right now.

6. My current relationship is going on two years and there's no sign of it ending any time soon.

7. I've lived in the same house for 18 years.

8. So far the only things I refuse to eat are liver, chick peas, and cous cous (sp?)

9. I've been going to the gym for just over a year and I'm still not even close to being content with any changes.

10. I can't stand taking vitamins or any sort of prescription drugs. I'd rather let my body take care of itself, unless of course absolutely neccasary. The last time I took any medicine was for a cold that almost extincted me.

6 - I lost part of my left thumb in an industrial accident


Alright, Yanari - Here's another one then

6 - One of my photos was accepted in a juried exhibition, but got taken down because it contained nudity and some kids came to the museum to see the exhibition one day. Of course, no one told me about that, I only found out when I went to pick my picture up and no one had any idea where it was and had to go find it. I kind of lost my passion for photography after that. Damn bastards.

What the heck; I'm bored enough to see if I can come up with 10 things about me that others probably don't know.

1. I name all my dogs but have named a cat in my life even though I've owned several. They've all been cat.

2. I still think about my first girlfriend every time I'm getting laid.

3. I'd willingly die to save the life of a family member or friend.

4. I'm deathly afraid of heights (I regularly work at heights, anyway. I'd rather clench my buttocks than wimp out.)

5. I wish I'd chosen to serve my country right out of high school.

6. I don't get lonely. I could live the rest of my life without laying eyes on another human being.

7. I'd love to be a writer. (Too bad I can't string 3 words together.)

8. I've never cheated in a relationship but I've been involved with multiple partners who were cheating.

9. I've never done any illegal drugs and I'm not really sure why. I'm not that anti-drug; I just never have wanted to do illegal drugs.

10. When my company tested all of their management, I outscored the next closest guy (who happens to be the VP) by a huge margin. Doing so has made me feel very insecure at work. Now I'm afraid to ever be wrong, though I'm not sure why.

I spent a couple days with the members of KMFDM


That's pretty awesome. Those guys are cool and down to earth. Met them at a show a couple of years ago in Mpls. Sasha seems to be really into what he does - I don't think he has any other hobbies or interests.

What year/CD?

1. I have a bachelors degree in vertebrate zoology, returning for a masters in wildlife sciences a PSU (soon), but secretly deep down would do something mindless like play video games for a job.

2. I hunt, and have cried when i killed something (was a squirrel and I was 12 and had just started to hunt)but have now realized that the day I stop feeling some remorse for the animals I harvest, is the day I will leave the woods forever

3. My favorite food is a tie between a philly cheesesteak and a nice sirloin steak

4. I have 3 pet snakes, and love them to death :)

5. I have cheated in several relationships I have had, but have been cheated on as well in those several.

6. My wife is not the best sexual partner I have had.

7. Saturday nights I can be found at the local dirt speedway (I haul a buddies race car)

8. I have a huge set of puncture scars on my left foot from when I slide under an old iron rung radiator

9. I miss my former best friend badly, but don't have the heart to tell him (he went into the military and me in college, and we drifted apart)

10. Only have met and talked to a few famous people, and only paintball players would know them: Bob Long, Craig and Glenn Palmer. (met them at a paintball tourney, chilled with Bob Long, tried out his new guns at the time, and then sat and ate dinner with the Palmers and chatted about guns)

1 - I live off of a diet of confectious items, soda, and cigarettes.

2 - I have a cat named Amuro Rei. Unfortunately, he's too stupid to be a newtype. Or atleast gives said impression.

3 - I've met and shook hands with every president since Regan. All I can say is, atleast Regan has an excuse. He was senile. The rest, I don't know what their issue was.

4 - I wanted to be a Geneologist (is that even a word? Or is it Genetisist?) when I was young. I'm currently IT working for Network Security in the USAF. With no plans of anything dealing with geneology.

5 - I love to Rally. And even moreso, love the Subaru Impreza. I've been on a quest to buy atleast one of every Impreza model made since 93 save the Wagons. But only up to 1999 as I don't like the new body style.

6 - Have been a student of Tendo Ryu style Naginata for 16 years.

7 - I'm Japanese by blood, but I can barely speak it. Which has lead to many a confusing conversation when I visit Japan.

8 - I can't remember what day it is (of the week, or of the month) 99% of the time.

9 - I haven't watched any TV (not even the news) since 1999.

10 - Every time I've lived in England, a massive livestock disease broken out within the first week of my getting there. First Mad Cow, then Hoof-In-Mouth a decade later. As a result, I am exempt from giving blood. Ever.

"Probably, but it's not like I know most of my hippie ferinds last names or anything." --Smash

That's because hippies don't have last names, natch. After all, how many girls named Moonbeam or guys named Peatmoss do you know that would require a last name to differenciate them from each other?

1. Sometimes I walk into my basement when it is completely dark and I force myself to think of that guy from Poltergeist and the clown from "It."
2. 7 ½ inches.
3. When I was a child I wanted to become a priest.
4. When I was in high school I studied esoteric religions and wanted to become a druid. Aliester Crowley was my hero.
5. While in high school I sold marijuana and LSD and had a fake lawn mowing business to write off my income.
6. I admire the physical mastery and secretly want to become a killing machine.
7. I have cheated in a relationship and I will probably never forgive myself.
8. I am an undergrad majoring in psychology and minoring in philosophy and sociology.
9. When I was a child I had pneumonia, became delusional and told my parents that I was the devil.
10. The friends that I have, I have known since I was a child. They used to be straight edged, responsible citizens, that is, until I introduced them to Jimi Hendrix and a girl named Mary.

3) I've lived on my own since I was 13 yrs old.

4) I work for the family. ( lets just leave it at that)

5) I had a good deal of my writing published at a young age, and have a bank account that my wife dosen't know about.

6) I still don't know what I'm doing with my life, yet I'm married and I have a great son.

7) I'm afraid of divoice.

8) I think eveyone has the power to be the next Jesus.

9) I've read Illusions by Richard Bach over 500 times.

10. Im 23 and dont have my drivers license. I have never tried to get it either


LOL. Hey Bhodi, I hope you don't feel bad about this. Cuz if you do, don't. I didn't get my license until I was about 24 or 25, and the pathetic thing was I only got it because my now current bf came to visit me and I needed a way to show him around.

1. I've cried like a little girl the 2 times I've seen the end scene of Saving Private Ryan. The scene with the old man in the cemetery asking if he lived a good... hold on *sob*...ok, if he's lived a good life.

2. I studied Aikido for 4 months. And Okinowan Karate-do for 1 day.

3. I'm infatuated with and want to marry Amy Lee of Evanescence.

4. I'm afraid of falling off things but not of heights. I can stand on a high place away from the edge and be fine. But scared to death of a 4 foot wooden ladder.

5. I've cheated only once and will regret it for the rest of my life.

6. I've attempted suicide in the last 30 days.

7. I was an animal handler for Ringling Bros. Barnum & Baily Circus. And met Gunther Gable Williams, everyone HAD to call him Boss.

8. I lost my virginity to a prositute when I was 20.

9. I almost died of alcohol poisoning when I was 21.

10. I'm addicted to quotes.

1- I'm allergic to: Caffeine, Nutrasweet, Pseudoephedrine, MSG, Sulfa-based drugs, tabacco, mold, most furry animals smaller than a cat, and god knows what else.. I also react badly in various ways to half of the sleeping pills out there, while the other half do nothing for me. Also, codeine and related drugs get me really depressed.

2- I enjoy being a music snob almost as much as I enjoy the music itself

3- I was glad to be laid off at my last job, even if it did mean losing a large salary

4- I'm addicted to buying CDs, DVDs, and books

5- I got my driver's license when I was 21, and only because I absolutely had to.. I was scared ******** of driving

6- I have a gay family member that I'm not supposed to know about

7- Through various mishaps, I've never actually managed to vote, even though I've had my votes all planned out ahead of time every time

8- I was incredibly resentful of how easily my former best friend always got all the chicks and got along with everyone, until I understood how he was doing it

9- Smoking pot doesn't do anything for me, but given enough peer pressure I'll do it anyway

10- When I was 5-6 years old, I went to a classmate's birthday party and someone's dad dumped his cigarette ashes in my eye. I haven't been able to think about cigarettes without getting somewhat ill since then, and I have to stop myself from gagging if I ever have to touch one.

(edit: added more allergies)

So, how was he doing it? Inquiring minds want to know.

9.I think im somewhat autistic. Example i can stare at the windows 98 defrag screen where those little blocks start popping up to show how defreg is going for like 2 hours and not get bored just sit fixated and watch it ( and this is without drugs remember).


I could have in all honesty used both of those as well. Except I would've called it ADD, and we're heading on two years together now.

By telling everyone what they wanted to hear (the stories eventually stopped matching up), and not letting folks ever know how he really felt about anything.

I was told no, but I was freaking 6 years old, I didn't really care
