Did read, actually. It was a good list. I have the same sleeping thing as you, though it's not usually that position that does it. The solution for me is usually just going to bed extremely tired.

Oh I have, but when I see what kind of PC's you can get for free.
There's a Pentium IV 2.8ghz behind me that I got for free which runs just brilliant.
And my laptop, an IBM Z60m, which is really brilliant, was free, too.
I do buy a lot of second hand PC's for under 50 US dollars but I do buy a brand new PC every
now and then. I have to, because I edit video and photographs and this software gets heavier by the day.
Also, I like to play a new game now and then...

A couple of years ago I got exactly the same binder with a tapedeck I bought (I collect reel to reel tapedecks).
I immediately bought fresh paper for it and started a new tape indexing system.
Because the binder is green, I called the first tape 'green tape 1'.
Almost two years further now and I'm at green tape 43 by now
It's not really useful, but it's something I like to do.
Listening to this one now:

I'm currently trying to learn. Used to just "wish" I could played, then thought I was completely inept...I believe "guitarded" was the term I used to describe it. But now I can actually play some songs and such, never having taken lessons or anything, and I've only been playing about 7 months or so.
That's really nice. I don't think I'm guitarded. I can read music and I used to be pretty good at playing piano back in my early teens. I stopped doing that when I was fourteen or so. I have a pretty nice acoustic guitar and it's really time I pick it up. I'm a bit ashamed of people hearing me practice, but I hope next year I'll have a house of my own and that'll be the moment to start practicing. I don't really want to play songs as such. If I could play the most common chords and sing along, I'd be happy

Quote:
All of these! Except I'm just terrified to sing in front of people. It is much better when I'm playing guitar, but that's still my issue with the whole singin' thing. Also, 5 is my lucky number!
You'd love to have a van and drive too? And you have a thing with 25 and you can sing but don't really dare to and you like to be up at night? We should get along .
You know, this is never going to happen, but there's no harm in dreaming; If it were up to me, I'd say: Let's both make 25 mix tapes, buy a van and start an epic road trip with a lot of singing along to the tapes and your guitar.
Sounds like a great idea .
One thing you should promise me though: Please, no CocoRosie, please? .

Ok, I haven't done one of these since I first joined so I'll go ahead and make one.

1) I like cats better than dogs, but mostly because I was allergic to cats when I was little. I was always so upset I couldn't hold one of those little fuzzballs, so when I got older and learned about the immune system in biology I set out to de-allergize myself. I got a cat and suffered through 2 weeks of red eyes and the sneezes, but I got myself a cat. Now I love em.

2) I have been so focused recently on finding a girl who is not white that now white people don't really even attract me. Luckily, this seems to be working out in my favor because I've been working on a cute Indian girl...

3) I am almost done with graduate school applications. If I don't get in anywhere else, I have to stay here in Indiana. I really REALLY hope that doesn't happen.

4) I keep checking facebook hoping the girl I just mentioned would get on. Then when she does, I just sit there hoping she will be the one to initiate the conversation. That's pretty sad...

5) I believe in statistical karma.

6) I recently tried out a dating site and ended up dating a paraplegic who stole my first season of the x files.

7) My ipod is the one possession that I would kill over. I would almost kill for my guitar, but not quite.

8) My opinions, views, and beliefs are constantly changing. It's not because I'm indecisive, it is just that everyday I learn new things that might affect my opinions.

9) I've made it known here that I am not religious, but no one here knows how much of a 180 I did. I was raised a Catholic and was even an altar boy for a year. I was all into that ****, too.

10) My cats like black metal.

11) Being a third culture kid is very stressful sometimes. I love the people I hang out with here, but there is always something that feels off. I can't put my finger on it, and for a while I thought it was just me, but every time I hang out with other third culture kids I relax and I am completely myself.

12) I sometimes feel like I was a really important person in a past life. I don't really think this is arrogant, either...I'm a very humble person. This is just a feeling I get...

13) I really want some stingray right now.

14) I am a decently built guy, but I am also abnormally flexible. I can put my legs behind my head.

15) I am horrible at absolutely every sport I have ever attempted.

16) I miss being able to grow long hair.

17) The first album I bought with my own money was the original score to the move the Rock. It was badass.

18) I refuse to wear anything more than my leather jacket, a hat, and maybe gloves, regardless of how cold it gets. Screw you, winter...bring it on.

19) I do research on alternative energies and biofuels. My ex is now an oil broker. Now, not only is she my ex...she is my enemy.

20) WHY IS THIS SO HARDDD

21) My retirement plan involves starting up a scuba diving shop on a beach in Thailand. This may sound like a joke, but I'm seriously going to do it.

22) I fall in love easily. It's probably good I haven't had many serious girlfriends, then, or else I might have had my heart stomped on quite a bit more than I have.

23) I like to complain. It's fun. It makes me feel better.

24) My favorite thing in the world is blowing people's minds with music that I've found. Nothing makes me feel better than someone going "Dude...who is this?" *insert band*..."They are freaking AWESOME."

25) I need to do laundry.

If you read all that....you must have had a lot of free time.

It's been a while, so here goes...

1. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

2. I love being single.

3. I support Wigan Athletic, and I get constant stick for it from my flatmate. Apparently I know nothing about football because of it.

4. I always shut him by pointing out the irony of a Man U fan from London saying that though.

5. I have 2 second teams, one of which is QPR, seeing as there's a long line of their supporters on my Mum's side of the extended family. My Grandad was an apprentice at Loftus Road as well.

6. The other's Exeter City, seeing as I was born there and all.

7. I support Wigan because my Uncle's got a property in nearby Ince. He knew I loved football, and was friendly with a ticket tout who got me in on the cheap whenever I was up there. Don't worry - I started buying my tickets legally when I could pay for them myself They were the first football team I ever watched though (a 1-1 home draw with Notts County in December 2001 to be exact), so there's my exuse for supporting them.

8. The last football match I attended was when Wigan lost 3-0 at home to Blackburn Rovers. I think it was Boxing Day (certainly near the end of) 2006. Morten Gamst Pedersen and Steve Morrison scored two of the best goals I've ever seen that day.

9. The worst match I ever watched in Wigan was when we lost 1-0 to Wimbledon. To put that into perspective, the Dons were bottom of the table and were on a run of 12 successive defeats before playing us.

10. I do actually talk about things other than football.

11. I'm in the middle of writing a war movie for my dissertation.

12. I was really excited about it at first, as it's something I've never done before, but to be honest I'm just glad most of the hard work's done already.

13. The worst film I've ever seen is a 3-way tie between North, Highlander 2 and Batman & Robin.

14. One of my life ambitions is to flip a box of pizza out of someone's hands while they're eating from it and run off.

15. Yes, I think of new ones everyday.

16. All I want for Christmas is a bottle of good whiskey and Football Manager 2011 on the PC.

17. While I don't go for any particular 'look' with the way I dress, 99% of days I find myself wearing buttoned charity shop shirts and jeans.

18. While I've jammed with mates randomly a few times down the years, I've only ever been in one gigging band, and even that was only three performances for about a month back when I lived in Scotland. That was a 3-piece Beatles cover band. I played bass and sang the odd McCartney tune, my favourite one to do by far being Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey.

19. One of the other lads in the band was in the navy, a diehard Beatles fan and one of the most down-to-earth and all-round nice people you could ever wish to meet. The other was an unemployed, very-scary-yet-pretty-damn-sound-when-you-got-to-know-him Rolling Stones fanboy, and a very aggressive drunk - basically exactly the kinda bloke you'd want on your side in a fight. I miss those guys - they were fucking legends.

20. I'm bored of my hair colour and seriously considering dying it red when I get some more cash in.

21. My current flatmates are nice enough I guess, but I basically consider them just a bunch of guys I live with rather than mates (unlike previous flats I've found myself in).

22. I like to think I'm fairly easy to get on with, but it takes a lot for me to genuinely see eye-to-eye to someone and thus call them a true friend of mine.

23. I've still got bits of work to do, but I'm at that stage of a semester where most of the hard work's done and I can't really be bothered to do much other than eat, drink, watch Nostalgia Critic videos and sleep (whether it's coursework I'm meant to be doing or not).

24. I don't eat fast food very much at all anymore, but out of it all my favourite kind of it would be a fat donner kebab, no salad with about a truckload of chili sauce over it.

25. If you think Forbidden Colours is at all sub-par, then you and me probably aren't gonna get along

i know you might not see this but..
har du familie her eller er der en anden speciel grund til at du kan tale dansk ?
hvis du ikke har en meget specifik grund er det lidt pudsigt - danmark er måske det mindste og kedeligste land i verden!

Lol doing another one. There might be repeats, I just can't remember.

1) I've gained an interest in Bleach. The anime. The English dub. A friend has slapped me over this.
2) I am officially in love with Ashly Burch.
3) And her brother.
4) ....Maybe their dad too.
5) I want to die in my 60's-70's in a bombastic way.
6) Mean Girls is my favorite movie of all time.
7) I find people incredibly annoying, yet I couldn't live without their company.
8) I think every karaoke machine exported out of the Philliphines should be burned.
9) I've looked at the Karma Sutra when I was 11-12. And not be accident either.
10) I looked at a classmate's answers on a very small quiz in English last year because I forgot to read the short story it was about, but I felt bad so I didn't write anything on my paper.
11) I did not feel bad about forging my parent's signature once this year though.
12) I can spot the word "muse" in anything.
13) I'm a White/Filipino hybrid.
14) I failed almost every test in a Italian 101 course I took over the summer at City College, and I got a B as the final grade.
15) I failed one of the tests because in a passage written in Italian about a music festival, they mentioned Radiohead, so I spent the rest of the time drawing Thom Yorke on my test and neglected the rest f the questions.
16) I swear like a sailor, ya seadogs!
17) I once imagined a relationship with this gay guy with me as a guy. It was amazing.
18) Every day on deviantart, I search up the newest entrys on "Sherlock", "Doctor Who", and "Muse". I am never disappointed .
19) Psych, Doctor Who, and Sherlock are all my absolute favorite shows.
20) White Collar is a very close 2nd.
21) I hate the burning ******* which is Bobby Flay.
22) I once tripped on a grape right in front of the person that I had a crush on.
23) I'm partially addicted to liking things on FB.
24) Any class concerning with music always ends up being my favorite.
25) My orchestra instructor/viola teacher is my hero. I have so much respect for him it's crazy. He's also one of those people who look so incredibly....normal, that you wouldn't suspect he's been part of all these amazing things.

hmmm shall i try this again?

1) I have four scars on my left hand that i can make into the shape of an A, which is awesome because of my name :-)

2) I don't play video games for more than a few hours, but i can watch a video playthrough of a game all day

3) Along with that, I only play my console games for a few hours on average, but if an internet flash game is challenging and intriguing enough, i'll play it for days in a row

4) And with that, i once spent two weeks straight trying to beat this flash game

5) I STILL haven't been to a big name concert.

6) I haven't gotten a new album (bought or downloaded) in over a month. I really need to get new music.

7) Jersey Shore is a guilty pleasure of mine

8) I wish to travel to Canada someday, not because of the weather or any monuments/landmarks, but because the people there seem really cool

9) Still haven't kissed a girl yet, just turned 20 back in October

10) I'm really scattered when it comes to doing things, so mutlitasking is something that comes easy for me/something i prefer, actually

11) For my finals that i took recently, the longest time it took me to finish one was 35 minutes

12) The shortest time it took me to finish one was 10. Technically 25, but the teacher was 15 minutes late.

13) I don't know whether those last 2 are good or bad.

14) I recently found out that I have a younger brother from another mother and due to some unforeseen circumstances, he may end up living with my family. If this were to happen, I wouldn't exactly know how to approach this. :/

15) Last year I switched majors from architecture to psychology. Most people i tell that they're confused that i would switch to something so different.

16) Leaving architecture was probably one of the best decisions i have ever made in my life and even if psychology doesn't pan out, i have no regrets :-)

17) I wear plastic framed glasses because whenever i had metal framed ones they would leave bad cuts and scars on my face.

18) A close family member recently asked me to help them do something that was part of an issue i originally opposed, and helping them made me realize that i don't believe in my original viewpoint as much as i thought i did.

19) I'm developing a bald spot just past my forehead. It's not too noticable now, but in 10 years it will be.

20) And I'm fine with that.

21) I don't get how people are so sad about getting older and miss the "good old days" of highschool/middle school. Then again, i personally hated highschool
and middle school, so that may be the reason

22) I've been having an increasing number of premonitions in my sleep for the last few weeks.

23) I get really touchy-feely when i get drunk/stoned, and not just with people.

24) Up until the beginning of this semester, i didn't know what it felt like to be in love with someone.

25) Now i'm finding out how much of a ball-buster love can be :[
