    50 Facts About You

    Same rules as on the old forum. 50 facts about you, random or otherwise. Whatever. This thread used to be dead popular. Lets see how it goes this time.

    My Facts.

    1. The best description of me ever was said by my art teacher. She said that I am "Consistently Inconsistent".
    2. My favourite book and movie is Lord of the Rings.
    3. I want to do lots of volunteering because it seems really worth it in comparison to what I'm doing just now.
    4. I have learned a lot about myself lately, and not all good things either.
    5. Practically minded I am not.
    6. I live and breath creativity. If I wasn't making something in some way I would go insane.
    7. I go to the studio between 8-8.30am and leave between 10-11pm.
    8. Out of all the pieces I have made in the last year I have only liked two.
    9. I am making a blanket that has Tatty Teddy stitched on it. He is an adorable bear.
    10. My boyfriend has to share the bed with a mountain of cuddly toys.
    11. I will be the (stereotypical) man in any relationship because I can't cook, I'm ok with mess and I can't see past my nose.
    12. If I ever have kids I pray that they won't be anything like me.
    13. Waxing is the way forward. I get waxed once a month which means I am all hairy and gross for one week or so leading up to it.
    14. I hate being hairy and gross, makes me feel dead self-conscious.
    15. I've got to the stage where I really think I am pretty in the face. Love my features.
    16. Shame about my body.
    17. Loosing weight has made me go down a cup size. This makes me sad.
    18. I have a house bunny called Braken and a demented dog called Pepsi. Both beautiful, yet very dumb animals!
    19. I have been on pf for 5 years in June. Isn't that scary?
    20. I plan to save up loads of money so I can go travelling and tell no one where I am going till I'm there.
    21. Lately I have noticed a lot of similarities between me and my boyfriend. Its weird yet very comforting.
    22. I have a book with millions of quotations I want tattooed on me. So I can carry my moral code around with me.
    23. The only tattooed image I have ever wanted on me is a tree (which I am currently designing) to remind me that I can keep dreaming as long as I stay grounded.
    24. There is so much I want to do with my life, but I'm scared I'm going to stop myself for a number of reasons.
    25. I may not want my kids to be anything like me, but I do want kids. Just one, unless I have twins.
    26. My eyes and lips are the genetic traits I want passed down to my kids.
    27. I once got called a Nazi because I said i was fussy about who I had kids with because I want certain traits passed down.
    28. I freak out if anyone uses my embroiderer scissors for anything other than material and thread. I see them anywhere near paper and I will break knuckles *glares*
    29. Love is a weird concept to me. Trying to explain it in words is very difficult.
    30. I love my short blonde hair. Its rockin
    31. I show everything in my eyes. That is probably why they are so bright, because you can see all my emotions in my eyes.
    32. I find the lyric "lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains" by Shakira (Whenever, Wherever) to be hysterical. Who wrote that?! Really :P
    33. Internet dating doesn't usually work and people should try meeting partners in reality first.
    34. The best relationships start with friendships.
    35. I am incredibly pro-choice, which is a real switch from a few years ago when I hated the idea of abortion.
    36. I'm ok with admitting I am wrong.
    37. I hate doing the wrong thing, it leads me into self-destruct mode.
    38. I always try and do the best thing for everyone else before doing the best thing for me. Which often leaves me feeling like crap, but I would feel worse if I looked after myself first.
    39. I don't like to limit myself career wise. I hate when people ask me what I want to do with my life because the answer will always be: "lots of things"
    40. In a past life I bet I was a cat! I'm lazy and like lots of attention :P
    41. Billy Connolly is a legend. FACT
    42. The other day I was thinking about when I get married and what I would like. I have a huge family but I don't want them all there. I'd have my mum, dad, two brothers, gran, grandad and my 3 best friends at my wedding. That is all I need.
    43. I had it pointed out by a certain member of pf that I type in Scottish! Lol. Love it.
    44. I say "bloody" a lot.
    45. I am a quotation sponge. I'll listen to a song once and I can sing it back to you. Read a book and I can quote parts back at you after one reading. Just a little thing I do.
    46. Still trying hard to find myself in this crazy head of mine. I'm a walking contradiction most of the time.
    47. You won't get a better friend than me. If you need me I'll be there ASAP. I am the glue like that. I fix everything.
    48. Working in catering makes me hate people.
    49. I'm a bit of an insomniac.
    50. I will do anything I possibly can to make the people I love happy.

    Re: 50 Facts About You

    Fuck...50...that's half of a metric shit-ton of facts. All about me, huh?

    1 - I live in Vegas
    2 - I'm a geek. No, really, been working on computers for fifteen fucking years
    3 - I appreciate the value of a well-placed swearword
    4 - I'm an Atheist
    5 - I have used the nickname "Roknrol" for over fifteen years
    6 - Spent 4 years in the US Army
    7 - Believe that cheese is the greatest food ever invented
    8 - Enjoy using words that are uncommon, but recognized
    9 - Enjoy harmless forms of social engineering
    10 - Thoroughly enjoy riding my motorcycles (when my body allows it)
    11 - Have more computers in my house than living creatures
    12 - One dog, six cats, five fish, one teenager, one wife.
    13 - Enjoy my own company more than pretty much anyone else's.
    14 - Find that as I get older, the longer I want to live. And life fucking sucks, so that proves "instinct" is still alive and well...
    15 - Had serious self-esteem issues until discovering the theater (and fans)
    16 - Currently have an ego the size of Texas (with fewer Mexicans - sorry Medusa )
    17 - Thoroughly enjoy a good Spoonerism. (What's the difference between a woman in church, and a woman in the bathtub?)
    18 - Discovered that weed resolves about 2/3 of my personality disorders (as well as the chronic back pain that it was legally prescribed for, of course )
    19 - Am really good at pretty much everything when I first start, but my curve isn't a very steep one, so despite all of my hobbies, the only thing I'm really good at is working on these technological marvels that cause me so much pain and anguish.
    20 - Feel that I've grown more as a person since becoming an Atheist (as well as more of an asshole, to be sure), and have finally - after decades of searching - found a grain of "hope".
    21 - I have recently learned that attempting to come up with 50 facts about myself in a short period of time sounds much easier than it actually is.
    22 - Despise corn in all but one of it's forms: Popped.
    23 - Loathe salad even more, although salad doesn't actually make me ill.
    24 - A well-placed question can fuck up my entire day
    25 - A well-placed compliment can restore it
    26 - I tend to not really give a shit about what other people think about me. It's far more important what *I* think of me.
    27 - I consider myself extremely moral, ethical, and fair (but I bet most people think that they are too)
    28 - Find it difficult to focus on just one thing - I have to have multiple stimuli to concentrate (which actually flies in the face of the studies done on the subject, however there were anomalies there too)
    29 - Am lousy at math, which is a tragedy because have found a great love of Physics, Astronomy, and similar nerd-learning
    30 - Was once shot
    31 - Moved to the city because I hated the country, but kinda sorta wanna get the fuck out of the city now...don't get excited Magus - the only thing that would get me to move back to the PNW is if my only other option were Texas.
    32 - Have a difficult time expressing feelings that aren't anger or mirth
    33 - Have found that 99% of the time that's all I need
    34 - Despite having a great love (and knowledge) of the English language, I'm never sure when I use a semi-colon if I'm using it right
    35 - Despite having a great hatred (and loathing) of dealing with people socially, I've found that I'm usually pretty fucking good at it
    36 - Enjoy doing things like that ^
    37 - Used to love the idea of ending my genetic line, but have occasionally wondered how a kid of mine would turn out...
    38 - Just noticed that I only have about 12 more to go (and am excited!)
    39 - Have discovered how important it is to live life, right when I find that I don't have enough time for it
    40 - Cannot find it in my heart to hate another person...that seems like too much effort for too little of a payoff to me.
    41 - Everyone gets one chance. If you fuck it up after that, you may well be on your own
    42 - Am viewed as being "cynical" to most of the people that know me (of course, I don't think that I am )
    43 - Feel more "chosen" since discovering that my mother's mother's mother was probably Jewish
    44 - Will retire at the earliest opportunity <-- meaning, I prefer jobs that aren't actually work
    45 - Will retire sooner, if at all possible
    46 - Greatest desire is to have my consciousness in-tact forever. I'll become the worlds first full-on as cyborgy as a cyborg can be cyborg if I'm ever wealthy enough to pull it off
    47 - (Wife's help: "You have hair that grows on the bridge of your nose") <- true, but it's not much
    48 - (Wife: "You have really good balance") <- ustacould, but since I've been gaining weight my balance has gotten worse (that's part of the reason I want to lose this fuckin' belly!!!)
    49 - (Wife: "Sometimes you giggle in your sleep. One time you said 'yaaaay!!!'") <- I have no idea if this is true, but I giggled when she told me about it
    50 - (Wife: "You're married to a hot nurse") <- This is very true as well

    <crosses fingers and hope his reply is the first>

                    Re: 50 Facts About You

                    1. I'm graduating college this weekend after a very challenging 4 years.
                    2. I'm actually blonde, but some people think I'm brunette because I don't highlight my hair and they're used to bleached blondes.
                    3. I'm really pale.
                    4. I sunburn extremely easily and have given up on ever having a tan.
                    5. But before I gave up, I got lots of sun scars on my shoulders, which are basically permanent freckles.
                    6. However, I do not burn easily when cooking, even if I accidentally touch extremely hot (~400F) metal.
                    7. I'm pretty short and used to like wearing heels all the time in high school to make up for it.
                    8. I pretty much gave up on heels in college when I started walking everywhere.
                    9. I am a pretty good swing dancer.
                    10. I've been dancing for 4 years.
                    11. I used to spin sabres.
                    12. That was when I was in color guard and winterguard in high school.
                    13. I love anthropology, which is what my degree is in.
                    14. I want to be a midwife and will be starting nursing school next year.
                    15. I am a socialist.
                    16. I vote Democratic, but they are often too conservative for my tastes.
                    17. I believe most Americans have a warped idea of what it means to be conservative and liberal.
                    18. I'm a pescetarian trying to go flexitarian.
                    19. I fail at eating meat.
                    20. I dance in Chicago often and consider myself a Chicago dancer.
                    21. That's despite living in Indiana.
                    22. I love mountain climbing.
                    23. I love the Smoky Mountains.
                    24. I love seeing wild animals, like the coyote I saw last night right outside my apartment.
                    25. I have only been to New Orleans once, but think it is the best city in the world.
                    26. I studied abroad in London.
                    27. I sort of became a Londoner there.
                    28. Since living in London, I have come to think that it is absurd to have to pay large sums of money to go to a museum.
                    29. I was born in the same city where I grew up and went to college.
                    30. I still visit my parents a lot, and they have never moved away from the house they built before I was born.
                    31. I was more popular at my high school than I was at my university.
                    32. One of the highlights of my senior year in high school was tying for "most outstanding senior" in band with my best friend, as voted on by our classmates. Yeah, it was basically a popularity contest. I was stunned because I was absolutely positive she would have won. It made me feel valued, equally with my best friend.
                    33. I learned to play the flute my senior year in high school.
                    34. I used to want to be an engineer, but then saw my dad being miserable at work and decided against it.

                    37. I used to ride horses until my allergies got so bad I had to stop.
                    38. I went on allergy shots for 4 years to get them under control.
                    39. I never went back to horse riding - it's far too expensive a hobby.
                    40. I learned to ice skate when I learned to walk.
                    41. I love to get henna tattoos.
                    42. I'm far too indecisive for real tattoos.
                    43. If I were to get a real tattoo, it would be the trispiral design from Newgrange in Ireland.
                    44. But I'm scared I'd not think that was as cool in 5 years.
                    45. I love babies.
                    46. I love hamsters.
                    47. I've had two hamsters and miss them dearly.
                    48. I want to have 1-3 children of my own.
                    49. I like lots of different kinds of music, from Irish pub music to African fusion to pop to classic rock to Americana folk.
                    50. Graduating scares me a little, but I'm glad to be starting a new phase of my life.

                            Like a PP said, I've tried this many times already and only get so far. Let's give it another go!

                            1. I like my middle name more than my first, but it would be too weird to tell people that is my name when introducing myself.
                            2. I've had a stomach bug of some sort for the past 3 weeks
                            3. I am self-educating myself for my Junior (almost done) and Senior Year (starting in Fall). (Technically, being homeschooled but I set everything up)
                            4. Even though I got a 1900 on my SATs, I plan to attend community college to get an Associate's in Clinical Lab. Science and work as a Medical Laboratory Technician

                            6. My future goal is to become a homeschooling mother, and getting a degree in anything is for practicality, not because of a passion (hence, why I'm only getting my Associate's)
                            7. I hate learning foreign languages with a passion
                            8. I'm deathly allergic to peanuts
                            9. I must carry two Epi-pens and an inhaler with me at all time.
                            10. Sometimes I have to wear latex gloves outside because I get hives from pollen
                            11. I'm allergic, but not deathly, to soy, peas, pears, and tomatoes
                            12. I drink rice milk because cow's milk grosses me out
                            13. I'd like to become vegetarian but keep having health issues that would make it dangerous (chicken is the main staple of my diet at the moment)
                            14. I will be getting my deviated septum fixed and my sinuses cleared on June 7th (if this stupid bug goes away)
                            15. I will be attending college part-time during my Senior Year of high school
                            16. I am the shortest person in my family at 5'4"
                            17. I'd love to move to Australia someday (now if only my bf would agree)
                            18. I had my gallbladder removed at the age of 15 after 5 very painful attacks
                            19. My all-time favorite show is Bones

                            22. I have at least one bad dream every night
                            23. I would love to be a professional dancer but only danced for 2 years when I was 9
                            24. My favorite time of day is early morning before the sun rises
