Charlemagne

I'll try this...

1. I'm a college student, but I look like a freshman in high school.
2. I'm mostly Irish, with some English too.
3. I've never had a job.
4. I very rarely listen to music that wasn't made in the 21st century
5. Adding onto that I'm obsessed with anything new, whether it be brand new modern style architecture/art, or a new episode of a tv show I'll always love it.
6. I'm a horrible procrastinator and in order to get myself to do work I have to really enjoy what I'm doing, otherwise I won't do it.
7. I'm a college radio DJ
8. For most of my life I've had a fear of people and interaction, but it isn't social anxiety disorder, it's just I don't feel comfortable around most people.
9. I used to love spending time alone, but now it just makes me miserable.
10. I express a lot of my emotions with song lyrics.
11. Whenever I walk anywhere by myself I always am listening to my iPod.
12. I cannot stand the 80s and I think if I was alive in that decade I would have killed myself.
13. I'm irreligious, but not in a hostile way, I just don't care at all.
14. It really bothers me when people don't respond to texts.
15. I am straightedge
16. I am also a loner if you couldn't already tell from my earlier random facts.
17. I am awful at making decisions.
18. Even though I am pretty narrow-minded in the music I listen to I'm obsessed with it.
19. I used to want to be a broadcaster up until this past summer, now I don't know what I want to do.
20.I can never, and have never hated anyone I've met
21. It takes a lot to get me angry
22. I love going to live shows and if I like a band enough I'll go alone.
23. I don't drive, I just am too lazy to get my permit.
24. I am a creature of habit, I like to do the same things everyday, at least when it comes to spending time on the internet.
25. I have a huge sweet tooth.

Let's do a new bunch as everyone likes to talk about themselves but I will try and make it themed this time.

1. I hate stickers on DVD's and CD's and spend far too much time erasing any trace of them, even going so far as to cleaning the covers with baby wipes.
2. All the spines of my DVD's have to align and not show any of the cover so I sit there with any new purchases moving the covers to accommodate this.
3. My DVD collection is now in at least 6 different alphabetised sections:
Amaray Cases
Steel Cases
Slipcover Cases
3+ disc Special Editions
Film series (i.e back to the future 1, 2 and 3)
Boxsets that have many films by one director
TV Boxsets
Music DVD's
Jean Claude Van Damme films
4. I collect odd advertising gimmicks of films and keep them in the DVD cases I.E The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ran a small campaign of a pullout in the shape of a chainsaw which I kept for the DVD release.
5. I will rebuy a particular film if it has extras that weren't on the original release. I have 3 different versions of the original Halloween.
6. I hate shrink wrap on new CD's and become physically frustrated when I cannot open the damn things.
7. If a CD has a booklet inside, I cannot have any marks on it and spend ages prising it out for fear of it getting caught and being marked.
8. I can spend months scouring the net in order in order to find the best possible version of a film that I really like and will pay a few extra quid in order to get the best version.
9. All my music and films are in alphabetical order and I can usually even find a particular film by touch even if the lights are out by storing them this way.
10. I abhor slipcases on CD's as sometimes they don't fit into my shelves but I still keep the cardboard outer in case I change my set up.
11. Even if it's an album I have been after for years, I will still delete anything I get that is less than 192 kbps.
12. I will not buy a film (no matter how much I want it) if it's in the wrong aspect ratio. (i.e I.D is a fantastic British Football hooligan film but it's still a 4:3 release which means it has been cropped for that medium) and so I will not buy it.
13. I never allow more than one CD out of it's case at any one time for fear of losing it.
Damn that's only 13. I thought I was sadder than that!

To get to 25:
14. I will not go out in a creased T shirt and spend ages pondering what T shirt to take if I'm off to see a band.
15. Own over 40 T shirts and still struggle to find one to wear on many occasions.
16. I have never used an umbrella in my life no matter the weather. I would rather be soaking wet than use one.
17. I check my mobile phone and Ipod 2 or 3 times before I go to bed to make sure they are switched off.
18. I constantly correct people on their spelling and cross out words on shopping lists and re write them if the spelling is wrong.
19. I will not watch a film if more than 10 minutes have elapsed if I catch it on the TV/DVD etc even if I have seen the film before.
20. Refuse to eat chips (fries) if they don't have vinegar on them.
21. I can remember every single film I have seen even if I cannot remember all the details. I can do this within 5 minutes.
22. I have an absolutely unhealthy liking for women in thongs ( I had to spice it up a bit!)
23. I have to shave my head every 3 or 4 days as I feel that it's getting too long if left.
24. I find myself struggling if I have to write for a long time as i'm so used to typing on a keyboard so I rarely write anymore.
25. I hate cars and have no interest in them whatsoever. What the frig is BHP? I don't care. There is still a speed limit so who gives a frig if your car can do 180? U still have to drive within the speed limit.

It's kind of hard not to be, considering the statistical probabilities there...
The stuff you identified with Charlemagne is all very very generic, normal crap that most people identify with in some way. You really shouldn't be so surprised.

It's like freaking out over the fact that you met someone who wears blue shirts, and your favorite color is blue.





Sorry, I have a very disenchanted attitude about everything, and I generally feel the need to offer the opportunity for others as well.

ThePhanastasio

1.) When I was 11, I had to have surgery on my neck to remove a thyroglossal duct cyst. It apparently scared the bejeezus out of my family, because the doctors initially thought it was a tumor.
2.) My middle toes are longer than both my second and big toes. It's kind of strange.
3.) I'm of Greek, Welsh, and Irish descent.
4.) My great-great-great-grandfather fought for the Union Army in the Civil War. He was wounded in action, treated, went back into action, and was captured. He wasn't released until the end of the war.
5.) When I was quite young, my grandmother, a nurse, would occasionally take me to work with her at the hospital as they had a daycare on site. Actress Ashley Judd, a native of my city, was visiting the hospital because her grandfather was quite ill. I saw her in the hallway, and boldly proclaimed to her that I was going to be an actress like her someday. She told me that I was going to grow up and be really famous, and I've never forgotten that moment.
6.) I smoke and drink too much, but at least I managed to get my other vices in check.
7.) Tim Curry touched my butt when I was 17. I'd like to think inadvertently.
8.) During 4th of July weekend of 2009, Micky Dolenz' (of the Monkees) sister Coco invited us to have drinks with them. We'd met her following a free concert at the riverfront in my town and struck up conversation. We told her we'd be inside in a few minutes. Micky Dolenz came out and signed autographs for us, and he in turn invited us to come in. I told him I was going to smoke, and we'd be right in. While my friends and I were finishing up our cigarettes, one of us got a phone call telling us about a really intense party. We elected to go to the party in lieu of chatting with Micky Dolenz. Yes. I ditched a Monkee to go to a raging party.
9.) I directed and played Frank N. Furter for a Rocky Horror Picture Show shadowcast for two years.
10.) Earlier this year, I was able to direct and produce a play I'd written as a part of a theatre festival in my region. It was well-received and probably the proudest moment of my life.
11.) One time, a friend and I were going on a random roadtrip to New York City. We're still not sure how we got as lost as we did, but somehow we ended up in Indiana. It would appear we went the exact opposite direction from where we needed to be...we wound up just going to Chicago, IL instead, as it was way closer.
12.) I used to have a one-eyed guinea pig named Matthew McConaughey, which also turned out to be female. It turns out that when I adopted her, she had a yeast infection which caused her swollen nether regions to be mistaken for male genitalia.
13.) There was a time in my youth when I legitimately believed I was going to be accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or the American equivalent thereof.
14.) I am legitimately terrified of the following: Mascots, animatronics, crows, the song "The Carol of the Bells" when performed by a chorus, midgets / dwarves, and The Blue Man Group.
15.) I was named after a Starship song.
16.) My eyes are amber colored, something I thought was cool until it was ruined by Stephenie Meyer by being a trait of her "vegetarian vampire" protagonists in the Twilight series.
17.) I've been a vegetarian for two years.
18.) I met Julia Nunes after the concert she played with Ben Folds near D.C. in 2008, and my then-significant-other made me leave because they were pissed that Ben Folds wasn't coming out to sign stuff.
19.) My favorite movies are: American Beauty, Amelie, A Clockwork Orange, Eraserhead, Naked Lunch, Brazil, The Children's Hour, All About Eve, and Big Fish.
20.) Bette Davis is my idol, and I am sure to mention her in all of my bios for theatre. I also always have a picture of Bette Davis in my pocket when I audition.
21.) I was always irritated by people who seemed way too into their Smartphones, but I got a BlackBerry for Christmas, and it's pretty much turned into an extension of my hand.
22.) I played varsity softball for 6 years, basketball for 2 years, and volleyball for 1 year in high school / junior high.
23.) Last summer, I went to a Phish concert in Chicago. I got lost trying to find my way around the venue (a soccer stadium) and to the car after the show, and came upon a fence blocking my way. Knowing that the car was not far at all from where I was standing and seeing no security, I squeezed through a gap between the fence and the outside wall of the venue. My friends followed, and apparently a lot of other people thought that I knew what I was doing and followed as well. We walked around and came across another fence with a set of broken-down bleachers leading to it...and a lot of sound equipment and things. We realized that we'd broken into the backstage loading area, and panicked, we all decided to climb the bleachers and jump the fence - an 11 foot monstrosity with blacktop at the other side. A lot of people started to jump, but I somehow got separated from my friends. I climbed the bleachers to scan for them, and still couldn't see them. I was about to jump anyway, as everyone else had pretty much made it over the fence and I figured they were on the ground when I was stopped by Phish security in his golf cart. He shouted at me to, "Get off the fence, you animal!" whilst giggling to himself, and I started to jump...when I noticed Phish's tour bus not 100 yards away, four silhouetted forms watching me from the windows. I slipped as I jumped and ripped the entire butt out of my pants, which the security guard thought was hilarious. I was fairly mortified.
24.) <-- I used to think this number had it in for me. Everything bad that happened to me for over a year was involved with the number 24 in some way. It was weird.
25.) I play Oregon Trail more than any human being should...particularly in the year 2010.

Kudos on actually saying what everyone is thinking.

Same here, though I'm trying to fix this.

CanwllCorfe

1) I feel guilty over innocuous things.
2) I really, really, really, hate any sort of conflict.
3) I sometimes feel like 2 completely different people.
4) I'm not so sure I really know what makes me happy.
5) When I first meet people, they always act so serious and reserved. Even though when they talk to others my age, they're open and joke around.
6) I get ideas for photos and paintings, but lack the will to do them.
7) I act like I'm alright with people calling me "different", but when my family does, it doesn't feel so great.
8) I feel older than 20. And I hate it.
9) I can't talk about my interests with people, because I always get carried away.
10) I hate being single, but feel like I'd be a pretty bad boyfriend.
11) I think too much. I know a lot of people do, but sometimes I even question if I'm breathing enough. And then get worried and try to remember how much I'm supposed to breathe.
12) I have no clue how to do the handshake that everyone seems to be using nowadays.
13) I truly wish I enjoyed pop music.
14) I feel intensely uncomfortable around alcohol and drugs. Sometimes even normal smoking.
15) I finally got my license, but I don't know what to do or where to go.
16) I can't let anyone get me anything or else I will feel inadequate.
17) I feel as if people are missing out on something if they try and see me on my birthday. Once, my mom invited a few of my closest friends and I felt angry.
18) I love getting positive feedback, but at times I almost need it. I need assurance.
19) Music can screw me up. I can be in the best of moods, but if I listen to a sad song, it'll **** up my day.
20) The real reason I wanna go to a doctor is to discuss how I've been feeling lately and to hopefully get help. My mom doesn't know that.
21) A lot of people plan get togethers, and I'd love to go. But if they don't directly ask me, I won't get involved.
22) I don't think I'd enjoy going to a concert.
23) People could call me or text me, but unless your name is Kristy, I won't respond for a long time. Unless it's urgent.
24) I can be completely illogical sometimes. When I was younger I had bought a calligraphy set. The next day I showed my teacher and said "look what I found!" She then replied, "oh the teacher next door had lost one. That could be it!" I then walked next door. Asked him if it was it. He said, "oh wow, it looks like it. Thanks!" I knowingly gave him something I knew was mine, and just bought the day before.
25) I don't really feel happy or sad anymore. It's more like content or discontent.

That seems like a pretty legitimate concern.
