I do. That's because my previous computer burned down (motherboard + processor gone) when I left it on and went out :|

I have 3 PCs, 2 of wich are usually on all the time. 3rd one looks like your typical techie's computer case, broken down old looking, open with blanks missing from front and back ;p Although the computer components themselves work just fine. I have alot of my AMVs stored on that one, and boot that one up in the morning to playlist amvs to wake up to. PC2 and 3 Share 1 LCD screen and PC1 (My main powerfull PC) dual monitors an LCD and a CRT, both 21 inch.

Like 8-bit samurai, I'm also a perfectionist, in everything I do. I am also lazy. those 2 traits contradicting themselves is what gets me in trouble alot ;p I'm more lazy in getting started on something, but once I start, I do it to the best of my ability.

I am also quite shy in person, especially around girls. I'm actually alot better about this now than I was in High school ;p

Any Kenshin fan, or anyone who knows anything about it should know where my name came from ^^

The AuN in Aunstudios used to stand for Anime Universe Network, a fan-based site I used to run a long while back during high school days that I used to put all kinda energy into creating and make look good, but never update ;p That became AuS fansubs when I fansubbed for a while, then AuN returned when I hit the AMV scene.

That sounds just like my brother. He never gets anything done gets depressed easily because, as we all know, perfection is impossible.

Well, don't blame me. I'm an antithesis to perfectionism. "Fair enough" should be my motto, written on the floor of my room. Where noone would see it because of all the stuff lying around :P

And is that a Bakadeshi I see on this forum? :o (strangely, today I imagined he'd show up for some reason).
I don't believe you for a minute man. After I saw pictures of your room, I couldn't possibly consider you a perfectionist! :lol:

I as well and I think this is the major reason I can never get any new videos done... I used to play music literally 24x7 in my room, in the car, and at work. Whenever I edit it feels weird only listening to bits and peices of my source. I typically would play the song in full over and over in premiere to make up for that and then I'd get bored of listening to the song and go off and do something else where I could still listen to music. I think this explains why I had no problem redoing the site layout for RDS this past weekend.

I've begun listening to music in windows media player instead of winamp. I really don't like WMP in comparison but I've noticed that I watch AMVs and listen to music less now and am more productive. I'm typing this post without any music going actually...

As I am extremely shy as well I am so glad snhknives was with us when we saw GITS2 at the theater... we probably would never have talked that night if he wasn't there to fuel conversation. :P

Anyways, something else about me is that I've always looked very young for my age. I was very short when I was little though I guess I'm about average height now. In school people always assumed that I had skipped a couple of grades but were shocked to find out I was the same age as them. I believe this is why I've typically had friends a couple of years younger than me. I used to feel uncomfortable around kids my own age. My parents passed me off as a younger child to get me into Disney World cheaper. People are still somewhat surprised to learn that I'm 24 years old... I get carded for video games. -_-

Since SQ used the term "intersex" I went on wikipedia to look it up and found another term that I guess applies to me. "Pangender" supposedly means you identify with both genders and are possibly comfortable with your physiological sex. I often find myself doing "girly" things when no one is around or sometimes wishing I had been born the opposite sex... I'm straight but it is often confusing and I wonder if this is the reason I never make serious attempts to make a relationship go anywhere. meh. Girls typically consider me a "nice, sweet" guy and it seems most girls I know are into the macho, blunt types that will "Sweep them off their feet". Maybe I'll get lucky when I get to Korea. :roll:

Do you shut your computer down when you leave the house, too?

Those hundreds of years of literature weren't really that popular until Disney came along and beefed it up to make exciting for the little ones(and by "exciting" I mean "child safre and not boring as hell in some cases")

They were in fact so unpopular, that no one ever heard of them ever, and no one knows how Disney even did.

LOL, SQ does it again. gg.

One new thought:

It can be VERY hard to get me to sit down and watch something or read a book. I'm resistant to the idea of sitting around watching/reading (not listening, oddly enough); I find it too passive, and prefer to spend my time doing something active or seemingly active. Which is why I'll binge on games, post on forums, talk to people about nothing or wander around streets aimlessly for hours without a second thought, but I'll put off watching an anime series or movie that I'm interested in, or a book I've been recommended, for months on end. The of sitting down and shutting up and not moving is somehow vulgar to me :P

PS - my avatar color now seems to match stripper butt :o
