Things about me you probably don't know

[Shorty]

Our dad calls me Scary and our mom calls me Mookie. When my parents were married, my dad would always call me Mookie Blaylock, who I only found out like last year was a basketball player xD It's the most ridiculous name ever, and I suspect my father thought so as well, so he started calling me it xD

[Mercen-X]

As I tend to overdivulge, there likely isn't anything people don't know about me... then again, I am Mercen-X.

-I'm an only child only by circumstance.

I would have had an older sibling had my mom not been too young and afraid to carry the baby to term. A dream she had suggests it would have been a girl. My brother passed away in an accident when he was four years old.

I can sleep through most loud noises. Typically more insignificant sound effects will stir me.

I love the smell of hazelnut, but it serves no other purpose to me. I can't stand the smell of brown sugar.

At about 7, I lifted a four-pack of bottle Coke from a convenience store and immediately thought of myself as a hard-bitten criminal. lol

Whenever I suffer writer's block, I find a slightly open space in my apartment and pretend I'm in a fight using weapons and superpowers... regardless of whether the scene I'm writing even remotely involves battle or violence.

I can't learn foreign languages. I've tried to learn Spanish, Tagalog, German, Cantonese, and Japanese. I've even taken classes.

I've wanted to wear glasses since I was twelve years old. At 23, I was diagnosed with acute astigmatism or whatever, I wasn't paying attention. All I knew was that I needed glasses.

I am the absolute opposite of a punk.

I believe in God. However, contrary to what others think, I do not capitalize God because it seems blasphemous not to. I capitalize God when speaking of a singular entity because God is not a descriptive term but a NAME. *idiots* When I talk about a god, I do not capitalize the term because it is a descriptor.

I am a sinner, a blasphemer, and a sloth.

I am slow to change.

I love every member of my family. I just can't stand being around many of them.

I used to carry my flashdrive around with me because I was afraid my apartment would burst into flames while I was away. Now I've put much of the information from my flashdrive online so it doesn't really bother me as much now.

I have the strangest birthmark I've ever heard of. It appears as two holes on either side of my head on the cartilage of my ears. When I was a kid, I could squeeze excess white-blood cells out of them. It's always looked like my ears were simply pierced in an uncommon region.

I couldn't whisk eggs if I had a gun to my head. There are always these disgusting strands of mucus left in it. The last time I made French toast, I just did my best to pull all the sticky trout out and put it in another bowl.

I smurfing despise reality television. It didn't bother me when it was one or two shows. But now it's everywhere like some kind of plague.

I am a Satyr.

I don't have horns.

I can sometimes be shallow in the classical sense, but most times I'm shallow in another sense. That being I think less attractive people should be willing to socialize with me because I think no one else would bother with them. Yes. I'm that guy.

My day voice tends to transfer to my night voice when people are sleeping nearby (like the downstairs apartment) and I tend to get shushed.

I don't intend to die until I've had at least one child. I often say I don't intend to die until I've sold at least one story, but my kid could take care of that for me provided I ever have one.

I have an irrational fear that I'm sterile. It's so bad, I won't even go to the doctor to find out for sure.

I was a virgin until 23.

I took Shotokan when I was 17. What's higher, the blue belt or the green belt? I have them both.

I took Aikido in college. A girl I liked in that class ended up dating another student. So I dropped the class. (jk, extenuating circumstances)

When my mom's brother's family visits, we tend to laugh like hyenas, until their mom gets irritated by some physical anomaly. (cramps, etc.)

I used to eat two to three bowls of cereal in one sitting.

[Lonely Paper Star]

- I have a brother one year younger than me. He's autistic.
- I like fencing a lot, but I never made enough time for it so I could get that good. I was in the fencing club in my first college. Didn't like the coaches much in the fencing club at the second college (thus, stopped going). Took a class for a few months at the local recreation center a few years later, then just got too lazy to enroll for the next level session.
- I'm the only gamer in my current group of real-life friends.
- I like other flavors of cake way more than chocolate cake.
- I smile on reflex in bad/sad situations. I don't know why!

If you don't already know then I'm not going to tell you.

[Quindiana Jones]

Way to undermine the entire purpose of the thread, Chem. xD

[Ayen]

-I sleep with a nightlight because I can't sleep in the dark
-I sleep with stuffed animals
-I was born eleven years after my brother when the doctor told my mom she couldn't get pregnant again
-I would have three older brothers (one half-brother) if it wasn't for my mother's tragic miscarriage
-I lost a nephew the same way
-I've never been kissed
-I'm uncomfortable around alcohol
-I have a speech impediment
-I'm uncomfortable about organ donation for reasons I cannot fully explain
-I'm terrified of heights
-I never stopped believing hell is a real place

[Aulayna]

- I'm pretty average and saving this stuff for an Eyes on You if I ever have one

[Arc_Master_14]

- I don't like 95% of my family all that much.
-When I was 7 I scared my cousin's dog on accident and he chased and bit my butt. I lied saying it didn't hurt so they wouldn't put him down, because I like puppies too much. I actually still feel the pain of the bite 15 years later when I sit. No one knows this.
- I have six stuffed animals in my bed and I take turns cuddling them every night so that they don't feel left out or lonely. I even hold one in my arms if I'm sleeping with my gf.

I suppose in a roundabout way you now know something about me you didn't before. Experience is a bitch.

[Lone Wolf Leonhart]

Sam has two heads and that's why she made a thread asking if you'd undergo the same surgery.

[Colonel Angus]

I never really learned how to drive. My only road test ended just after a 1/2 a block.

I was diagnosed w/ Crohn's disease @ 17.

I wear 2 different sets of glasses, one normally & the other when I'm on the computer @ work because my eyes lose focus.

I won an Apex Award for an article I wrote just after I decided to give up journalism.

I have a hard time finishing RPGs because I just don't want them to end.

[Araciel]

I farted and my house blew up.
