10 Things You (Maybe) Don't Know

[Freya]

Awww bunny! *hugs* I really need to catch up with you but i've been so busy I will try to do so soon though!

Awww gzu *hugs*

[Inferno]

Bunny, hang in there bro

[Shiny]

but honeybunch, I love you so much!

shiny's left-handed too if I'm going under the bus I'm taking her with me

I am actually right handed except when I bowl or hold a fork I need to do so with my left hand for some reason or it doesn't feel right. I'm the real weirdo.

[noxious.sunshine]

I'm a lefty.. But I only write and use a fork with my left hand. Everything else I do, I do right handed.

[Pheesh]

I don't know how many of these things some people will know, but anyway...

1. I could drum before I could walk, my parents would prop me up with cushions on the floor in front of live concert betas my Dad owned and give me pots, pans and chopsticks, I could apparently keep time with all the songs. I was given my first drumkit on my 3rd Birthday and to this day have no recollection of learning to play drums, I've just always been able to do it.

2. I am predominately Italian and will actually be receiving my dual citizenship later this year.

3. I saw a therapist for 7 years and will occasionally talk to her to this day, although it's only been maybe once or twice a year ever since I was 18.

4. When I was growing up I attended about 10 different primary schools (we'd finally settled on a town by the time I got to highschool) and lived in at least double that amount of houses.

5. I have no memories of my parents together in a relationship.

6. Italian was my first language. I can't speak it as well anymore, but I'm re-learning it.

7. I had never left Australia until last year.

8. Up until I was about 16 all I would drink is coke, now I won't touch the stuff unless I'm having it with alcohol or it comes with a fast food meal (although I drank a trout tonne of cherry coke in USA)

9. If I were a born a girl my name would have been Josephine, named after a song my Mum loves. Instead I'm named after my uncle and they settled for making my middle name Joseph.

10. Jesus, this really is hard to think of interesting facts. Um...I own a chicken, her name is Carina and I talk to her a lot more than a normal person should.

[Shorty]

I drank a trout tonne of cherry coke in USA

hellllll yeah you did

oh my bad shiny, I thought I saw something on facebook where you said you were a lefty

[Malboro-Menace]

*Cybernetic-High-Fives shion because Donnie Darko is a brilliant movie*

1. I can never remember people's names. Their faces, yes, but never their names. Because of this, I have always come up with a nickname for everyone that I talk to - the only exception being family members and people who I should address in a formal manner. I even have a nickname that everybody addresses me by and I'm never really addressed by my proper name.

2. I love watching movies / reading books / playing games that have very depressing storylines. I don't know why, I'm just always in the mood for watching or reading something depressing or something that is heavily emotionally-impacting.

3. I had an obsession with arthropods (also reptiles and amphibians) when I was young. To this day, my favourite animal is still the Praying Mantis. I've never understood why people find bugs disgusting as they are actually quite clean. Seriously, I had a pet praying mantis and it would clean itself (much like a cat does) by wiping it's claws over its head. How adorable.

4. I read up on mathematical theories and scientific studies in my spare time and am very fond of mathematics. I have calculus in my mind so often that whenever somebody mentions the words 'differentiate' or 'integrate' I have to call it and tell everyone to take a drink.

5. Despite feeling extremely uncomfortable with any physical contact, I feel obliged to high-five somebody whenever somebody mentions the word 'mathematics' or says something to do with mathematics in a non-school related environment.

6. Despite being mathematically-inclined, I have a fondness for art and love to write fiction and draw artwork to go with a fictional world that I created many years ago (and am still working on). Like BoB, it was inspired by The Lord of the Rings (and has it's own maps, cultures, languages, flora & fauna, history, mythology, etc) and I hope to one day write a full-length novel about it.

7. I can't stand being with a lot of people. I don't mind being in a crowd, but when I'm specifically with a group of people - four is the maximum for my comfort.

8. I'm very obsessive-compulsive when it comes to cleanliness and I like everything to be planned and organised on time. I can't stand it when people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom or after eating, etc. AND I have a few friends that pick at their ears or nose and just touch everything afterwards - it makes me want to disinfect the place after they leave. D:

9. The first final fantasy game that I played was the first final fantasy. Except, because I'm a youngling, it was the GBA version. I played the second one next and X was my third. Although people tend to favour their first (or one of their first) game in the franchise, I am forever switching between VI and IX - two of the last games that I played in the series. - On the note of gaming, I am also not much of a gamer at all and I only really play final fantasy and Little Big Planet ('tis a great game).

10. I really dislike it when people speak informally - as in; incorrect grammar and internet-speak in the real world. I can't stand it when people use shortened words like 'legit' or when they give people titles like 'scene', 'hipster', 'mainstream', etc. Can you not explicitly state your interests without people insulted? If people accentuate something popular, they get scolded for being 'too mainstream' and if they have certain quirk about them that's different, they get called 'hipster'. Agh, it's frustrating to listen to.

So yeah, enjoy those 10 elongated facts.

[Unbreakable Will]

Well, here goes;

1. The only person in my family (of almost 30 people) that I'm related to by blood is my mum, she was adopted.
2. I know absolutely nothing about my mums heritage other than the fact that she's almost all Cuban. Which makes me of Cuban/Irish/??? descent.
3. I was born in Charleston S.C. but I've only been there twice.
4. I've never met my birth father.
5. I was originally named after my bio-dad, William Carl Nichols 3rd, thank god we got that changed haha.
6. Found out about three years ago through a person-finding site that he had another child and named it, William Carl Nichols 3rd. Evidently I never existed.
7. I'm a single dad with a 2 year old daughter.
8. I was once kicked out of my parents home when I was 17 for dating my alcoholic girlfriend behind their backs for 7 months without their knowledge.
9. Said (recovered) alcoholic ex-girlfriend is also my oldest friend to this day, we've known each other for going on 15 years now and, fun fact, we were born only 6 hours apart but I was born on the 5th of November and she on the 6th. I always love tossing it in her face that I'm older than her.
10. I might have mentioned it a few times before but whatever; When I was 2-ish my bio-dad drunkenly held me up to a cockatoo, it then proceeded to bite my nose in half and I still have some breathing problems but only a scar and a bump on my nose from where the bones never set to show for it.

3. Found out about three years ago through a person-finding site that he had another child and named it, William Carl Nichols 3rd. Evidently I never existed

These are interesting to me and I'll explain why.

I have a half-brother who used to live near Charleston, SC named William. His first name is William and his middle name starts with an "E" (I can't think of the name now).

Now, my dad was William Charles (last name). He had William E. (last name) and then later on had William Charles (last name) III. I was actually about to be named William Charles as well, but my mom vetoed that idea. I also found out about WCIII in the same manner that you did, through a person-finding site, three years ago, right before my dad died. My dad came clean and mentioned I had a half-brother named Billy, and that he hadn't seen him in 45 years. He'd been trying to find him, but he didn't wanna be found. Turns out he works not too far from where I live.

Wow that's scary close to my background! Wild world eh?

[Rebellious Eagle]

I'm not too interesting but here we go...

1. I'm very pale, yes, but I'm also the palest person in my family, along with the only one with green eyes. I look way more Irish than anyone else in my family with Irish blood. Maybe I was the mail man's child? :P

2. My cousin and I are going to the same college. We also unknowingly picked the same Confirmation name, Frances/Francis.

3. I have 4 cats and have never lived without a cat. I smurfing love cats, dude.

4. I've lived in the same house my whole life.

5. I'm not as innocent as I look. Not at all. Nope.

6. I have one sibling, a half-brother who is 29.

7. I've only been to one other country in my life, which is Germany. I love Germany because it's a huge part of my heritage and a beautiful country.

8. I love watching Bollywood movies. I have no idea why. They're just super fun (and really long lol)

9. I have a massive crush on the lead singer of Queens of the Stone Age, Josh Homme. I don't care if he's 40, he's smoking hot.

10. If I were a boy I would have been named Christopher.

[escobert]

Lets see..


1. I never played or even heard of Final Fantasy until I got VII with my playstation for Christmas in 7th grade.

2. My parents have been broken up longer than I have been alive.

3. My mother met my father when she was in the car he stole.

4. I have been to 9 countries outside of the USA.

5. I duck hunt!

6. I keep Lake Malawi Hap & Peacock cichlids.

7. I prefer cats to dogs

8. I come from at least 7 generations of dairy farmers.

9. One of my favorite summer activities is Paintball

10. My mom is a VA nurse! and my dad is a farmer!

[Night Fury]

1. When my Mum was pregnant she watched a show called 'The Camomile Lawn' which starred Tara Fitzgerald.... Which is where she got my name from! Which is cool because my first 'encounter' with Tara Fitzgerald was in the film 'Brassed Off' which I studied at A-Level and I looovvveeeddd her and thought it was so cool we were both a 'Tara'.

2. I also loved 'Brassed Off' because it reminded me so much of my time in a Brass Band! So number 2, is that I played in a Brass Band for two years! I loved it, and I can probably still play trumpet, cornet, and soprano cornet. I was the lead/solo cornet!

3. I quit brass band to focus on school and college. I now wish I had pursued music more!

4. I also wish I had further pursued art. I used to be an awesome artist, and I think had I done more art, I would have pursued a career as a tattooist, as it's a very new found passion and love of mine.

5. Something else I did in my younger years was training dogs and competing. I have several awards for this, and I do miss it. But as I grew up I started to lose my passion for that, and found a bigger love for breeding and rearing our dogs.

6. I saved a dogs life. One of our litters, one pup came out very cold and wouldn't feed, so I took him and wrapped him in the blanket and stroked him for over two hours. He survived - he now has loving owners, and his best friend is their son, Alexander. I named the puppy Xander from day one - the owners kept that name. Alex and Xander

7. You may not know this but err, I love Buffy! I really don't think I've expressed my fandom for Buffy the Vampire Slayer on here enough at ALL. I watch it through at least once a year, and I have specific episodes I watch if I'm feeling sad, if I need cheering up, if I just want to cry etc etc... I really feel like the scoobies are a part of my life in a big way. The older I get the more I appreciate some of the storylines too.

8. I hate Mayo. It's the GROSSEST stuff ever. I'm sort of coming around to it though, I can just about handle it in a sandwich. I can't even stand the smell though, it knocks me sick and it's just one of those things that my body just does not want to go past my lips. EW.

9. One of my favourite memories is dancing with my Grandad. I never knew him, he had severe, severe dementia. So the Grandad I knew was, well, I don't know gone, he couldn't even speak. My Nana used to tell us that parts of his brain had went to sleep. Anyway, sometimes if he was getting upset or something or stressed, I'd sing and he'd start singing back and then he'd grab my hands and dance with me, and it felt like in those moments that for a short time I knew my Grandad.

10. Um um um um ummmmmmmmm..... I can never pick a 'favourite' animal because I'm so indecisive and I love all animals. Same with when I have to pick who I am in a TV show. Part of me is like "Well, I think I'm like Buffy but I'm also shy like Willow, but then I can sometimes be quite tactless like Cordelia!" I can never choose anything and decide on it. It's amazing that I can pick a tattoo that I want to be on me forever, really.

[Jinx]

1. I have dimples in my shoulders. They're absolutely my favourite part of myself.

2. I'm incredibly insecure, and I have a huge fear of being ignored. A lot of times when I'm mean or I lash out, it's because I feel like no one cares or knows that I exist.

3. I have an intense dislike of flip-flops. I think they are one of the worst things ever created. The only, ONLY time they are acceptable is when people are just popping to the store, or going to the pool.

4. When I'm nervous, I recite things in other languages to call me down. This now includes sign language.

5. I used to have such an intense problem with social anxiety that I actually had to drop out of high school. A year later, I decided to face my fears, and went back. Graduating was one of my biggest accomplishments, and meant a great deal more to me because I made the choice to overcome my issues.

6. I once ate 16 tacos in one sitting.

7. I almost pursued a college degree in vocal performance. The only reason I changed my mind is because I HATE music theory. It's just math with music and pretty symbols.

8. I am an only child, but should be the oldest of three children. My sister Malissa was stillborn, and my brother Jonah died when he was a day and a half old. I really enjoy being an only child, but sometimes I really wonder what it would've been like to be a sister, and I wish that I would've gotten the chance. Also, because of this, I feel a lot of pressure to be a good daughter towards my mom, as she still struggles with that to this day.

9. I am surprisingly conservative, but very few people know that about me. I'm afraid to air my more conservative views, as I feel I'll be ostracized for them.

10. I have a very tiny gap in my teeth. It used to be huge, but it grew together in just a few days right before my 14th birthday. I recently went to my doctor, and found out that I've damaged my jaw because of how much I grind my teeth, and I need to wear a mouth guard. I dd so for a few days, but I stopped, because I was convinced that it was re-widening my gap. (It in reality, wasn't, but I just couldn't reconcile my insecurity with what I really knew). This is why I think I hate gaped teeth so much, and why I am sooooo weird about people's teeth.

[noxious.sunshine]

I'm picky about teeth. I can't stand to look at someone with a jacked up grill. My ex-sis-in-law had meth mouth so bad, the dentist told her it'd cost $16,000 to fix her junk. She'd smile or laugh and I'd be like "Nessa... I love you, but please don't look at me if you have to smile. It makes -my- teeth hurt"... My brother had to have most of his teeth pulled from the drug and his wife's look like they've got algae growing on them. It's disgusting. I can't deal.
