    • I can touch my nose with my tongue, I can also roll it and make a purring noise that freaks Nikki out.
    • I HATE becoming aware that my toes are touching each.... oh goddamn it.
    • I'm always hungry and eat constantly but don't gain any weight.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    1) I have a nephew who I love dearly and who looks up to me like a hero. It makes me insanely happy, especially since it's kept up even with me not being able to see him as much anymore.
    2) I'm hoping to break into the game industry in the next few years. There's a few things holding me back right now, but I've been grooming my credentials since college (with the help of some of the fantastic people I've worked with) to work towards it. I know it's not necessarily a glamorous industry, but having my creations on a screen would be a dream come true for me.
    3) I have no idea where I'm going to be (geographically) a year from now and it's really exciting. I think I'd be excited to live anywhere but my current city. Seriously, it's the pits.

    edit:
    1) I did meteorology for a few years. I loved forecasting and observing weather, and creating weather briefings for aircraft. Unfortunately, with all the newer automated hubs, getting a job observing weather is fading away, and it's difficult to get on with the NWS.
    There's still a lot of jobs for it in aerospace if you go private. My company is primarily weathermen since they still need analysts for the atmospheric models. Your old job sounds a lot like what my boss used to do before he came to work here.

    1. I hate Final Fantasy 8 with a burning passion. Still, if you give me a controller and ask me to play it, I will. For some reason.
    2. I play Trumpet in my High School band. I'm okay. Not terribly bad, but not anything special. Like a milkshake without the shake.
    3. I am a brony. Not a hardcore, furry brony. Don't worry, I won't preach it to you. Just a fan of the show is all.

    1) I'd choose dogs over cats any day. I'm not a cat hater, though.

    2) I had a friend who claimed to be a witch and followed "old Scottish" teachings or whatever. She also claimed that when she walked into a church, all the lights turned off. She tried to take me under her wing as an apprentice. Yeah, NOPE.

    3) I love the idea of urban exploration. I went a few times to this one place with some friends, and at first I was scared (it was next to a cemetery and on top of a hill overlooking a state penitentiary), but it was so much fun. In general, I'm not that adventurous as a person, but I would totally do that again.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    1) I am the youngest in my generation on both sides of the family and the only ginger. Also, I am the only one without a sibling.

    2) I have a personal superstition about New Year's Eve. For example, if I had a great night, I'll have a great year; if I have a bad night, I'll have a bad year. The most interesting story is: after a new year's party I drunkenly hallucinated the grim reaper walking by my bed, coming for someone in the house. We put my dog down that year.

    3) I kinda treat my cat like a dog. I'll take her for car rides, put a leash on her and carry her around outside, and we play fetch.

    1. I have kidney failure and I have been on dialysis for 7 years and counting. Not much of a fact, but it's something not everyone knows.

    2. I once won runner-up to a bookmark design contest for school. It was in the 3rd grade, I drew this basketball player with the phrase" Be cool, stay in school." It was awesome, and I think I won a prize for it. I don't remember what.

    3. I went to a Martin Nievera concert when I was in the Philippines. In fact, I was pretty much dragged into one because I had no other choice to go. It was crowded, noisy, and the music sucked. I really didn't want to go, but it was some kind of experience I wish to never go through again.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    1) I am a kleptomaniac. It was incredibly bad in elementary school and up until I got into high school when I just stopped caring about everything around me. In 3rd through 5th grade, I stole probably 500$ worth of food and goods and another 200-300 in cash.

    2) The loss and presumed death of my cat probably had a greater external effect on me than the loss of my mother. I still get incredibly sad whenever I think of the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. I feel for the loss of my mother, and it did effect me fairly significantly in the long run, but I have long since accepted it as something that happened. For comparison, I lost my cat over 15 years ago, my mother around 10 years.

    3) I have a hard time coming up with facts about myself because I do not care to remember much of what has happened to me, as I usually classify it as unimportant.

    1. When I was younger, my grandmother thought I was the wrong baby because I was yellow and had Asian eyes.

    2. One time my brother flew me in the air so high and fast that I got stuck in his ceiling. That was pretty fun.

    3. People constantly change my last name to Rivera because I look Hispanic. I'm not Hispanic not even like 1 percent.

    Something to keep in mind when the family business is phased out.
