Video game playing, comic book reading, literature loving
About Me:
First off, I love relationships. Friends, family, significant others. Second, video games, comic books, reading other kinds of texts, and writing are some of my most frequent pastimes. (It messes with me that "pastimes" only has one "t.") Lastly, I also go against the "nerd" stereotype. I love being outdoors and being active. I have studied two different styles of martial arts. And I fence (French Foil).
And I love discussion. (Thus, the internet rocks.)
I don't really know what else to put, so I'll put more as I think of it.
Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more

None of these are listed in order of importance. (Plus, I'm probably forgetting most of what I want to put. That happens to me whenever I want to write it down.)

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?
Either babies or a fedora
If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?
Hmm... John Green (the original) or my girlfriend. Probably my girlfriend. Sorry, John.

so i picked up Looking for Alaska and read about 100 pages when I should have been sleeping last night.
Good sign for the book, bad sign for my social and work life for the next three John Green books.

I've read that whole series. I'd agree. It breaks Stephen Kings normal formula at almost every turn. That's a great series. you have good taste. I haven't read paper towns yet, so i think i'll grab that.

Its one of my favorite books. I've read it three times.

Oh, yeah, I always thought it was "pastimes" but then I realized that it's actually spelled "pass time," as in something you use to pass the time.
You look ridiculous in fedoras.
And I am up for a happy dance any old time.
Well, ladies and gents, I didn't shave today or yesterday. I can't really post pics to show my progress. But I'm still not going to shave. All out, no stops. In other words, no trimming, nothing.
I was kind of curious how everyone's first day was...
I guess the only guidelines/rules I can think of are these:
1. Shave October 31. That way, if you want to, you can monitor your progress with others'. Just a fun idea.
2. Personally, I'm against any trimming. I know technically it isn't shaving, ...
Ok here is what is really ironic. I went to startrekonline.com to check it out because I hadn't looked at it in a while, but I forgot my password so I had them send it to my email I use for random stuff and never check. So I went to my email and l...

Even though I may not even play this myself, I thought I'd post it. It picks up after all of the shows and movies. The Klingons and Federation are once again fighting, and like in the new Star Trek movie, Romulus is...

Toonami (in general, there were so many I liked)
Courage the Cowardly Dog
80's Transformers
Beast Wars
Freakazoid
Darkwing Duck
Hahaha. I love this question. Given, the answer is easy for me: feel crappy knowing the truth. I've had situations where I found out the truth after something happened. And you know what? I was pissed that I didn't know sooner. Now, I know someone...
