11. Despite leaving my own room fairly cluttered (though organized how I want it to be) I can be very obsessive about the 'design' of my house or any home I'm in. By design, I'm talking more the way HGTV defines design, what pictures are on the wall, how their placed, ect. I really obsess about straightness when it comes to paintings and things hanging on the wall. I obsess to the point I will take it upon myself to 'fix' it. This happens at restaurants and other places as well where I'll make it a point to set the table as well as make sure the sugar and salt and anything else on the table is in it's 'place'. Ruu-chan likes to annoy me by messing up things right after I fix them so that I have to fix them again.

12. Jumping back on one of the facts I spoke of last time, I also have a tenancy to bitch about and lash out at things/people I don't actually mean to when I'm really perturbed about something else entirely. I basically take my anger out on even the littlest things and don't realize until after wards I've done it. Though rather then apologizing my pride gets in the way and I choose to live with the consequences. Even if I truly didn't mean what I said or did it doesn't change the fact that I've done it and I'm willing to live with that.

13. Growing up I was kind of a playboy. I took my dad's advise for dealing with women (one of the many things he told me growing up in order to piss off my mom) to heart and made it a point to have a girl anywhere I went. 1 at camp, 1 at school, 1 at home, 1 at work, 1 at church, ect... I grew out of that thankfully.

14. While I know I am and am proud to be a geek I've always considered myself to be a 'jock' really. I've always been into sports and despite not playing as much as I'd like to anymore I still love the sports I play.

15. Without actually giving too much away about my sex life, more on the previous subject, I've never actually dated within the 'geek' culture until I met Ruu-chan. I've never really found it hard to go out and find someone when I wanted to so I've always kind of wondered why others have such a hard time. Of course, looking back the companionship I found wasn't really what I wanted, but more of a symbol of being part of the 'norm' and I probably could have done well without it.

16. One of the past times in my house is vexing my mother. My dad, myself, and my siblings all participate, as well as my uncles and others. Part of it was to see just how far we could push her in order to make her angry, which until she started taking medication wasn't very long, but now is more of a challenge. She would burst out at the most random and small things sometimes that it was always a game to see what exactly would tick her off at any point. I don't really know why any of us started it, perhaps just trying to emulate my dad perhaps since he did it first. Though I really do see now where I get some of my 'issues' from...

17. I hate getting wet. It just completely ruins my hair when I get rained on. Though I love swimming and when I do swim I spend most of my time under the water. Yet I hate getting wet... I can't explain it...

18. I hate not having music playing at any point in time. More to the point, I hate the sound of silence, whether there is truly no sound or noises, I am just generally uneasy when there isn't a radio going or the tv on or something. I don't really know particularly why I get uneasy, but it's almost like when there is no sound going I can't hear myself think, like the silence is truly deafening to the point my own inner monologue is drowned out.

19. My mood is almost entirely dictated by what music I'm listening to. Ever since I was young I always turned to a good uplifting fun/happy song when I was sad in order to cheer me up. It's one of the reasons I generally only work on certain types of AMVs or music, because doing other things puts me in a mind set I don't exactly want to be in. The same also can be said when I'm writing, if I'm trying to put tension or action into a scene I listen to music that puts me in that kind of mood.

20. I have in some ways a very photographic memory, but in others the worst memory you could imagine. This generally flows from that fact that like my mood, my memory is also highly tied to music. If I'm listening to a song while something is going on I will remember the emotions and location of that experience when I hear that song again. A specific example of this is one summer I traveled with my grandmother from my house to her's (about a 10 hour drive) and during the trip I read one of my favorite SM fanfic's written by a guy named Darkstar. While reading it I listened to midi's of 'Cha La Head Cha La' and 'Gumi' (DBZ opening and CCS opening, though I didn't know that at the time). To this day when I hear the songs I can picture the words, drawings (he put pictures in the documents), and even the feeling of the road and the AC on my feet. This also goes both ways as well, where when I go back and read that story I can actually hear the songs in my mind. Though this also has caused problems with my memory as well, as I have a hard time remembering things when the correct song isn't playing....

I'ma just break my long responses into 10 things

31. I've got plenty of kids! I can borrow them at almost any time (cept for one of my sisters, her kids are constantly grounded. >:[ It's extremely annoying) and the "local" ones range from 2-13. I currently have a 10 year old over for the weekend. And they all want to come over for the weekend. Being able to give them back is nice though.

32. I have two cats (inside cats) and a dog now, so they can take all the "mothering" I have to offer for now.

33. I've been taking my dog on several walks a day and have been losing weight... he's a pretty good coach. I wish the weight would come off faster, but I guess I gotta learn to be patient. I can fit some of my old pants now though. XD

34. I don't like Krispy Kremes... something in the oil they use to cook them turns my stomach.

35. I like most of my vegetables raw. Cooked carrots especially will hit my gag reflex, but I like raw carrots just fine. Vegetables I'd rather eat cooked are ones like potatoes, corn, green beans.

36. All my dreams are weird. They always have been so when a medication lists "strange dreams" as a side effect, I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference. (One of my Asthma meds lists it as a side effect.)

37. I never really had Asthma until I was around 20-21.

38. The video game consoles I or my family has owned are and in this order: Atari, NES, Sega Genesis, Playstation 3, DS, PSP, Wii. I know there was a lot skipped there, but not having money will do that to you. We had an xbox at one point, but sold it back because we didn't like it

39. I really think I'm a rather boring person so I sit on this for hours trying to think of stuff, only to see that a lot of mine are responses to other people's discussions

40. DokiDoki, Kusoyaro, and Sarahtheboring were some of my really early influences on my amv editing. More recently my influences are Jubjub2, Godix, ScoobINSMDBZ, Mamo!, Ileia, -Fa-, Slackergirl, and Koopiskeva.

- I honestly hate editing/AMVs, but I have no clue why I started editing
- I love silence
- I have a very hard time controlling my anger. Been into way too many fights
- I've been injured a bunch of times :S Broken my nose and knuckles, tore a ligament in my hand, sprained my knee 3 times, ankle, wrist, back, and all my fingers and toes
- I am actually a very intelligent perosn, but I never tried in school because I was too lazy to do the homework
- I fucked up early. Got into a lot of stupid shit when I was very young. However, I don't regret any of it
- I wanna get away from society completely. I'd like to move to an uninhabited remote island
- I am a very emotionless person. The only emotion I'm really familiar with is anger. I guess I'm just de-sensitized
- Even though I'm a very angry person, I'm rather easy to get along with and I'm very outgoing. Most people love me and I don't have much people who dislike me.

Pepsi Party woo!

I thought I'd already posted 10, but apparently I haven't.

• # I love to collect things. Books, toys, DVDs, trading cards, AMVs, trivia, friends, you name it. Most of the time, I'm not even necessarily interested in whatever I'm collecting. If I think I might get some use out of something or if it's the last piece of a set I've mostly completed, there's a good chance I'll grab it. I've curbed this tendency slightly in recent years, but it's still a very defining aspect of my personality.
  
  # When Ileia first invited me to join CDVV, I turned her down because I thought she wasn't serious. I am extremely glad I came to my senses and accepted, because Corndogs are some of my very favorite people.
  
  # I inherited a lot of my sense of humor from my dad. We both tend to emphasize repetition and goofiness over originality. When we were younger, my dad would cycle through the same catchphrases ("Slooooowly I turn..."), jokes ("You kids want ice cream? That's nice."), and movie quotes ("You sit down! You stand up!"), and every time, it makes me laugh. These days I find myself in the same rut of in-jokes and catchphrases, but I'm okay with that right now.
  
  # When I taste something flavorful, or remember the taste of something flavorful, or feel a chill, my muscles tend to spasm and I flail my limbs around and/or make funny faces. Nobody commented on it much until I moved to Chicago, so either my family was used to it by the time I started remembering things, or they just liked to laugh at me. Maybe both.
  
  # My body does not react well to cold. One of the things I miss most about California is having the lowest temperature of the year be in the mid-forties. This also ties in with part of why I don't like ice in my drinks. I like to drink lots of drink slowly, and at slightly lower than room temperature. I'm even fine with warm cola as long as it's still carbonated.
  
  # I don't like to jump into a conversation with people I don't know unless I feel like I have something to add. I lurked around the org for two years before interacting with anybody. My first post in #amv was during AMV Radio one night (jeez, almost six years ago now). I tuned in during a contest to guess Koopiskeva's middle name, and after hearing two of the clues (starts with a Y, sounds Jewish), I guessed Ysrael. I didn't win the contest. T__T
  
  # My favorite food is cheese, particularly when it's warm and gooey. Just thinking about gives me flavor-spasms. I love the taste of most dairy products, but melty, chewy cheese is tops. (Now I wanna heat up some more shells & cheese!)
  
  # Despite my mostly late hours of operation, I really enjoy waking up early (assuming I've had plenty of sleep before waking up). Next quarter in school will be very nice, because I'll have 8 AM classes Monday through Thursday. I'd love to regularly get out of bed around 4 or 5 AM, but the biggest obstacle that prevents me from getting into that habit is resistance to change. If I'm awake, I don't wanna go to sleep, and if I'm in bed, I don't wanna get up. It's the same with water (be it for bathing or swimming), reading, or really most activities. If I'm doing something, unless it's something I'm entirely not interested in (which is very rare), I want to continue doing it for as long as my attention span will carry me.
  
  # I'm studying filmmaking at the Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago with Kristyrat. To be honest, I feel intimidated by many of the other students, because so many of them seem to have so much more creative drive than I do. A lot of times I feel like the best reason I have for why I'm in this program is because I don't know what else to do. Other times I realize that these feelings are a fallacy created by my current personality to give myself an out, but that still leaves the trick of breaking through the barrier of fear to allow my personality to transform myself into the next me.
  
  # Like a lot of people here, I don't have much of a dating history. Part of the reason for that is a lack of trying through high school and most of college, but the main reason (and root of the lack of trying) is that I just can't picture myself dating. I have no concept of it except through TV and movies, and even then, that's other people doing it, not me. Sometimes I think if I ever get a girlfriend, the experience of being a boyfriend will help correct a lot of the problems I've convinced myself I have (well, mainly the lack of confidence I suppose; that's the core of a lot of it anyway). Then I acknowledge that that plan would likely backfire if I'm only boyfriending to help myself, and I'd have to already crank up my confidence in order to get a legitimate girlfriend, and that puts me back to square one. I might not be so concerned about it, but if I'm gonna make films, I should live a life, right?

Bonus factoid: my writing gets a lot less inhibited when I'm sleeply. I remember one time when I stayed up really late, I necroposted every unlocked thread in the Donators Forum. That was fun. Good night.
