Re: Post One Random Fact About You!

Fact: I don't like flying. I don't like it so much that I need tranquilizers to actually fly. It's my Acrophobia (fear of heights) and my claustrophobia (fear of small/tight spaces) working in unison. Not so fun times but I don't let it stop me from flying.

Fact: While I barely had the credits to graduate high school (slacker) I was on the highest honor roll for all by one semester (when I failed the second half of my French class).

Fact:
When I was in eleventh grade, I was so fed up with my Composition teacher not teaching me something important that I missed while I was sick ((He wanted us to include it in every paper after that, but he refused to help me understand it.)) that I purposely failed the class. I already had it calculated that I could take it my senior year, for it was required, but I would still have all of the credits I needed because I had taken an extra credit my sophomore year.

Fact: How I got away with this, I'll never know. But! Was in my sophomore biology class, pen died one day. Teacher gave me a red pen to use, said it'd be fine... two days later gave me the paper back and said to redo it because of the red ink. My response was "This is fucking bullshit, I'm not redoing it" while tossing it into the nearby trash. Friend next to me was trying not to fall over from laughter and, of course, had to tell everyone for the next few weeks.

Granted, I shouldn't have said that. My mouth reacted faster than my mind...

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:22 pm

Chances are that your teacher had a lot of other classes and forgot about having granted you that small permission. Did you have to redo it in the end, or did you just get an unsatisfactory grade on it?

Fact
I felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of posts I had to read to catch-up after ten days of being with Misery.

by The Melancholy Spirit on Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:30 pm

I don't know, she was a terrible teacher. Always losing work, ruining it, misgrading... but yeah. As for the grade, I honestly have no idea what happened with that in the end. The shock in it all was that I never saw any punishment for it...

Fact: I have a way of barely getting by on numerous things. For instance, I passed my driving test by one point this morning.

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:36 pm

Fact:
I almost insta-failed my driving test because I was being "over-cautious," but that failure would have been caused by a bad reaction from pedestrians wanting to cross the street. Because they didn't react badly, I passed easily. I mostly just had points added ((which is bad)) because I went over the speed limit by one mile per hour at times. :: shakes head ::

by The Melancholy Spirit on Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:38 pm

(One more added point and I would have failed. Hehe)

Fact: I just made the shift from listenig to Yes to Kataklysm... going from 70's prog rock to modern deat metal. Haha ^^

by Sunwolf007 on Wed Mar 24, 2010 11:39 am

Fact: I like rock music. Classic Rock, punk rock, Hair metal rock, modern rock, Heavy metal (I know people say its separate but I don't consider it fully separate it from the rock mega genre)

Fact: Though I strive to be a successful filmmaker someday, what interests me most are cutesy, lovable animated characters portrayed in an emotional story that embraces every aspect of humanity, treating me, the audience, as an intelligent individual.

Basically, smart cartoons with cute characters. Very Happy

by **Bird of Hermes** on Wed Mar 24, 2010 1:45 pm

Fact: I like cartoons too.

by Squall Reyes on Wed Mar 24, 2010 2:44 pm

Fact: I don't like the cartoons today's children watch. As far as he's concerned, Batman the Animated Series is the best cartoon series of all time. OF ALL TIME. As Kanye would say.

Fact: The Secret of the Woods by Wine From Tears is my new favorite song for the day. Laughing

by Ominous Flare on Wed Mar 24, 2010 2:50 pm

Fact: I don't like the movies college students watch today (such as the notorious upcoming Clash of the Titans). Back then, even teenagers support quality movies such as Indiana Jones - mainly because there are abundant quality movies to support back then.

by Sunwolf007 on Sun Mar 28, 2010 1:16 pm

Fact: I like more 90's movies than I like 2000's movies. Somehow the writing quality dropped although now it is getting better because (in my opinion) filmmakers are not seeing what they can do with CGI anymore they are again looking at the film as a whole process. The process starts with a good script not a script built around what they can do with CGI. Anyway there is my ADD rant of the day. See if you can make sense of it. Laughing

Fact: The song Change by Blind Melon describes me and my pre/post college life perfectly.

Spoiler:: I don't feel the suns comin' out today

its staying in, its gonna find another way.

As I sit here in this misery, I don't

think I'll ever see the sun from here.

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,

Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.

But that's okay

they're just afraid to change.

When you feel your life ain't worth living

you've got to stand up and

take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.

And when your deepest thoughts are broken,

keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,

some ways will work and other ways we'll play.

But I know we all can't stay here forever,

so I want to write my words on the face of today.

and then they'll paint it

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and they'll say,

Hey look at him and where he is these days.

When life is hard, you have to change.

Fact: The song "2 AM (Breathe)" by Anna Nalick does a similar job for me.

Spoiler:: 2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake.
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season."
And we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes,
Like they have any right at all to criticize.
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason.

'Cause you can't jump the track; we're like cars on a cable.
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh, breathe, just breathe.

May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss.
"Just a day," he said down to the flask in his fist.
"Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles.
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

'Cause you can't jump the track; we're like cars on a cable.
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys.
So cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh, breathe, just breathe.

There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout, 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out.
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again.
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake writing a song.
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd.
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud.
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

But you can't jump the track; we're like cars on a cable.
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, now.
Sing it if you understand.
And breathe, just breathe,
Breathe, just breathe,
Oh, breathe, just breathe,
Oh, breathe, just breathe.

Fact:
I'm a camera whore.

by **Bird of Hermes** on Sat Apr 17, 2010 2:31 pm

Fact: I shy away from the camera like it's the plague.

Fact:

I cry over a "Y do you think" commercial because it had a wheezing kitten in it; who's wheezing was caused by cigarette smoke.

Fact:
I have an inexplicable irrational fear of mannequins. (not sure if there's a phobia name for that, but if there is I think I've got it) I give them 'personal space' when in a store that has them on display. What a wimp, right?

I also get uncomfortable in places where there's lots of space to my left or right. When crossing a street, walking across a hallway, or even out into a large parking lot I almost always check either side before going. Strangely enough, large spaces to the front or back don't bother me, just side to side.

Fact: I utterly despise Corn and anything that has to do with it. It just ruins my digestion for a reason that remains unclear to me.

by **Loki** on Wed Apr 21, 2010 10:55 am

Fact: I have never had the chicken pox.

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Wed Apr 21, 2010 7:56 pm

Oooh... I hope you never get it now, Loki. It can be deadly when one gets it during adulthood...

Fact: I have three chicken pox scars, and all three are on my face. One is at the center of my forehead, one is between my eyebrows, and the other is beside the outer corner of my left eye.

Fact: I now bear a scar half inch wide that starts at my left mid -shoulder and wraps around my chest and abdomen to just slightly above my well groin. The perils of climbing a razor wire fence is all I am going to say on that one. On a side note I thought I was going to die. ( I was bleeding like a stuck pig) But looking at this scar I kinda like it. After all chicks digs scars...mind you most of those chicks are muscle bound blind Eastern European Miss Universe types who's claim to femininity is tenuous at best.

Fact: I broke my kneecap (That little bony piece on your knee? Yeah.) playing football.
