Tho it gets a bit freaky watching you listen to the same song for weeks. It's like you listened to my Lennon suggestion for more than 70 times in one day. It's like I don't want to be a part of that

That will probably all change when we get a few twats joining the forum which is bound to happen.

In true form to my egomania the first thing I did when coming across this thread was to scan it to see what people had to say about me. Though, I'll be the first to admit my narcissistic nature. It would be hard to deny from the amount of enjoyment I get out of simple things, like mirrors. I'm also forever amazed at how much I seem to give out *** vibes, I have no idea where it comes from.

Haha. In real life I can tend to be the sledgehammer of subtlety. The concept of thinking before you speak has never really held much weight with me, though I'm not so convinced it's a virtue :P

I'm glad you think that. My debating approach is somewhat aggressive and passionate, which runs the risk of coming off as a total snob. That's not especially a self image I'd want to promote.

Aha, easily the most common complaint I hear about me, which is fair enough for a music forum. I first signed up because Ethan (who I knew from another forum) bugged me into doing so. At the time my total taste in music didn't get much beyond In Flames and a few other metal bands and I definitely wasn't incredibly into it, more just listened because that's what my friends also listened to. Nowadays my music appreciation has become much broader and hopefully a little deeper (and definitely leant away from metal) but I still find it hard to put forward anything constructive about music without feeling like I'm parroting what someone else has already said. Sporadically I have an attempt at becoming a productive poster on the music side of things and as my music taste improves it'll hopefully become less sporadic and more common place. I don't ignore the music section because I lack an interest in music, it's just I don't feel as though I'm being especially productive with the posts I feel capable of making there.

I'd love to fill out my own list of opinions on members however I fear it would be somewhat lacking. For one of those with 4 years or more under my belt my frequent sabbaticals and scant appreciation of the breadth of this forum leave me with good knowledge of only a few of the current posters. Give me a couple of weeks, I'll get more involved and have something worthwhile to say

Most people online are much more confrontational than in real life whereas I am the opposite. In the outside world I make very few friends because I think a lot of people are not worthy and I can argue any greviances much easier face to face.
I couldn't imagine you not being a genuinely kind person in real life as you are here at this forum.

I am a kind person in real life too but what I'm saying that is I will stick up for myself a lot more and don't suffer fools gladly. I just don't enjoy arguing over the net, banter is fine but the state some people get into on the net is ridiculous.

I respect you so much more after this post. I'm excited to hear what you've got to say about others, but more importantly, I'd like to hear what you think about music you enjoy and, well, don't enjoy. I must admit that I come on here to see what others have said about me, too, so I'm not much better than you (still better than you, though).
