I think the same. Trollheart, you really are a unique guy, and I love that about you. You're always up for listening to new things, and you're an all around fun guy. Glad you're here, honestly.

Fantastic thread. The people in here are all the kinds of people I would like to meet, which is killer.

I'm a consummate nerd. It's not that I seek it out; nerddom comes to me. Or is attributed to me. Whichever.

I work 40 hours a week at a job I'm completely ambivalent to, and I like to drink because that feels like the complete opposite to work for me. I also jampack my schedule with all manner of nonsense I know I'm not going to be able to realistically do with my work schedule, but I really hate missing out on anything. Consequently, I seldom get an appropriate amount of sleep.

My parents are both extroverts. Both of my sisters lean on the extroverted side of the spectrum. I've always been more introverted (not at all anti-social; just needing some time for myself) and independent. My mother says that I always wanted (needed?) time alone when I was a kid, and that they never had to worry too much about me, because I was pretty independent. I learned to read and write before I was three years old, and entertained myself doing such.

When I was in Elementary school, my parents never grounded me from TV: They always grounded me from non-school related books. That was torture. They really knew how to straighten my act up.

I'm always up for something fun. Even if it doesn't really sound fun, If the person who wants to hang out is excited about it, that makes me want to check it out at the very least. I'm all about experiencing new ****, whether it's resultant from a call at three in the morning, or a pre-planned adventure. I prefer spontaneity though. I mean, I'll keep the plans regardless, barring some huge issue at home, but spontaneity is my jam.

I like to relax alone, also. I need time to recharge. This may be where my sleep deprivation comes in, because I need time to think and "just do me." Not in a sexual manner (okay, not usually) but just to have time to think, write, play music, watch wrestling from an analytical standpoint, check out TV and movies...I really need more hours in my day. And less of my body naggin' me to sleep all the time.

I am horrible for making puns. I don't know what comes over me. One of my worst is that anytime someone says anything is/was intense, my immediate response is, "Like camping!"

I know. It's really not that funny, but I can't stop myself. I don't know what my problem is. I also like to randomly quote movies, although this can often prove to be at inopportune times. My intention is to alleviate my own personal tension and make light of a situation, but it's gone to extremes on a few instances. One was a sexual experience, in which I was so nervous and unsure of what to do, that I decided for some reason that quoting "There Will Be Blood" would be hilariously awesome: "I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"

Turns out, it wasn't.

I'm always the one who wants to do something wild and spontaneous amongst my group of friends. They'll be all, "We haven't gone bowling in a while," and I'll be down, but sometimes, I'm all, "Let's drive to Cincinnati (two and a half to three hours a way) and paint the town red!"

I get restless.

I like wearing my default uniform of skinny jeans, Sperrys or Toms, and t-shirts with a hoodie of late. I also always, always, always have my black frame glasses on. Sometimes I wear my hair up, if it's flat and lifeless. If I've just taken a shower and decided to let it air dry, I wear it down, because it's wavy and looks like I spent time curling it or some ****.

I also love both of my main axes more than anything in this world, (their names are DJ Jazzy Jeff and Milla) and actually almost cried when my uncle picked up DJ Jazzy Jeff to play and dropped him.

Also, people like me. I don't really know why, but they do. Even if I'm uncomfortable wanting to go home and curl up in my bed with my laptop and a blanket, people are all up in my ****. It may be attributed to my inability to be mean. Who knows.

You are seriously the man. You seem to be amongst the most fantastic folks on this forum, and you're definitely one with whom I would share a pint or two.

I am a happy-go-lucky, but often very serious, adventurous girl. I work on any task appointed to me with extreme precision and work very hard at everything I do, even when there is no end in sight. I often bull****ted my way through school because I have a very excellent memory for figures, facts, and languages. I'm left-brained but no mathematician or scientist! In fact, I'm so absorbed in the abstract that I have stacks of unfinished drawings and stories.

I paint, I take pictures, I travel, I make short documentaries of everything happening around. I do all of these activities with the support of music.

I am largely sex-oriented and while having a boyfriend is nice, I find myself frustrated quite frequently. Then I remember how volatile my single times were and I work it out.

I wanted to be a diplomat so I studied "international affairs" at college, went on to score an interview at the State Department's oral exam, failed only by a margin, and decided to leave that idea behind. I moved to Turkey, where I'm having way more "international affairs" than that line of work could have offered me!

Mostly the me that I have to describe is fun-loving and can't get enough out of life. I am a constant opportunist and if it's free, I always take it! I only like secondhand clothes and I hate feeding the consumerist nightmare most of us live in.

So that's that!

PoorOldPo

Trollheart. I will be in bhaile atha cliath at some stage soon. Pints¿?

I'm a tall college male with brown hair and brown eyes. You've seen them one, you've seen them all. Apparently I look like my father, so that's what makes me somewhat decipherable.

Apart from that, I'm mostly independent and introverted. When I'm with my friends I can do some crazy ****e, but when I'm new to people, I need some time. I suppose that most people are like that, though. I prefer to do most things on my own, and will only ask people to help when I actually need it.

I listen to avant-garde music for most of my day. I go on the computer and listen to it in the morning, put it in headphones and listen to it at school, work, or elsewhere. I also make quite a bit of it. I have over 600 recordings of either my band Wolves In Sheepskin (aka WISK) or of myself playing either theremin, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, violin, feedback, throat singing, piano, keyboard, bass, or some instrument that I made from **** around my house. All of these are sometimes provided with vocals.

I write lyrics for my vocals often as well, in a black book that I keep on me for when I get ideas. I've sort of used up all of the vocals that I have at the moment in one fifteen minute song already, though, so I'll have to write more soon. I also write some literature, but I've fallen out of the habit with school and work.

I work at a mortgage company that's one of the larger ones in San Diego, but I work for the funding department as an intern. My bosses are really nice and throw amazing parties and events for the office quarterly.

I go to school at Palomar College, where I am getting my general education, which I then would like to transfer to a university. I plan to do this next spring, because I only need sixty credits and I have my fall semester planned out to compensate for that. My major will be journalism with a public relations focus, which should get me a very good job. My great uncle on my mother's side works in the field for a big company and he says that he has a lot of free time on his hands because the company is rarely ever controversial. I'd love to do that because it would give me time for music and writing.

I live right next to my school with my parents. I'm staying with them because the location is good for me being able to walk to school, being that I don't drive. I plan to get my licence before the end of this March because my parents will give me a car if I do.

On me not having a car, I haven't really cared that much about getting to places. We have a very good train station and bus station next to my house that's only about a dollar a ride, and there's a lot of cool **** within walking or biking distance, plus it helps me get exercise. Exercise is something I've sort of fallen down on, I haven't gone to the gym in a couple of months.

I'm a big fan of movies as well, which is why I try to watch at least one movie a week. However, I've been watching a couple of episodes a week of Lost lately, and that kind of interrupts it.

I try to be nice to people for the most part, but I come off as an ******* sometimes because I don't engage in conversation as easily as some people do. The people that I hang out with realize that they're going to be made fun of if they're doing something hilarious though, which makes some people not like me that much.

People like how genuine I am. I'll try not to bash a song if I can tell that a friend liked it, because that'd just be rude. If they ask my opinion on the song, I'll tell them the truth though.

Sometimes I feel a bit loony, like some form of mental disorder is hiding from me and it won't engage until I'm thirty. My drug history which included two overdoses did somewhat mess with the way that my mind thinks.

I do smoke pot quite a bit, but I don't do it when I have anything to do like a test or driving. I also drink, but I've decided to cut back on that in the past week. I have a pretty tight Gandalf-style pipe and I just got my medical marijuana card too.

I'm a big fan of nature. People who buy into **** about aliens don't realize just how crazy the world can be. I see things from a different perspective since my overdose and the world looks pretty strange on this side of the mirror. I've found that if you pay attention to the most commonplace parts of nature that you just ignore after having seen it, you will notice something foreign looking about it. Or maybe I just like to play mindgames on myself.

I wish I could man, but getting away from the ball and chain, sorry, sister I love is next to impossible. There's no-one --- and I mean no-one --- to give me a break if I need it. I also don't really drink; I'd have a pint very occasionally if I was out, but as I don't get out much that sort of takes care of that really. I can very easily exist without beer.

However, let me know when and sure I might be finished this polystyrene and latex model of me ... sure she'd never know!

Seriously, give me some notice and maybe I'll be able to do it. Unlikely to be evening though, which I know is a sort of the whole point...

Thanks to everyone for the compliments! Not sure that I deserve them, but they're certainly appreciated.

This is a great thread, and should be in the running for an award next year. I'm learning (like us all) a lot of interesting stuff about people here, which is always nice.

Now, when does HHBH post?

Wow thanks hun! It was really cool to learn more about you, I also wish there was more time in the day to do all the internet stuff I like to do. I get rather addicted to certain websites. I think the 'there will be blood' was funny in that situation! Some people just have no humour.
