Silvone Elestahr wrote:Fact: I don't understand people who give bad reviews on books. Seriously, I always give books 4 or 5 stars out of 5. Honestly, all of the books on my bookshelf on Goodreads.com have four or five stars. I read a review of the book I'm reading now, which I immensly enjoy, and the person said it was absolutely horrible. From the beginning. I read another review that said the book was good, especially compared to the horrible book Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind, which i also loved.

I simply enjoy books. I'm not picky. A book has to seriously be really bad for me not to enjoy it. I'm not picky and choosy, like most of the people who's reviews I read. If I had problems with that many books, I would probably just stop reading...

Sword of Truth!! Glomp

*raises hand* Same here. ^^ ...Except the being a girl part. I'm not a girl. It says "Male." But everyone loves a bit of romance in a good book, right? Right? xD ...Right?

Here, I shall submit an example of how even a teeny touch of romance is awesome. Faramir and Eowyn in The Return of the King (book). Smile

*sigh*

And now...
Random Fact About Me: My hair used to have a perpetual wave to it on one side -- the side I slept on. Razz

Now I sleep pretty much evenly on both sides, and in a manner that doesn't affect my hair so much. Not that I'm overly concerned about it... my hair doesn't give me much trouble anyway; it's just something I noticed I did subconsciously. ^^

Fact:

I shouldn't tell this fact as I might spoil things for people who haven't read The Dark Tower series yet (Then again: if you haven't read it yet, DDOOOOOOO EEEEETTTTTT!!!!!)

by **Gadreille** on Tue Aug 17, 2010 12:48 pm

I love sword of truth. But Kalon, you knew that already Smile

Fact: I am a vicious protector, as defined by Silvone Smile

More concrete Fact: I often forget my age when people ask me how old I am.

by Shekinah on Tue Aug 17, 2010 1:24 pm

Fact:

When I write (which is not that often anymore, sadly) I always write at night time.
This is, I guess, because I adore the nights and am way more a night person than a day person. My inspiration is drawn from a lot of things during the night, as everything seems to be different at night.

Fact: Both times I've changed my hair color it's been a fail of some kind.
Attempt 1: The light purple/lavender became grey. Fortunately it wasn't permanent so I washed, washed my hair.
Attempt 2: My hair was supposed to become a little darker but basically still a combination of brown and blond. It looked the same after, aka dark blond with light blond in it (or golden during the summer in the sun).

by Shekinah on Tue Aug 17, 2010 4:09 pm

Fact:

I'm able to control my dreams

by Miss Dagger on Tue Aug 17, 2010 4:17 pm

Fact: I've decided to look up a lot of information about educations for one of my interests. I have too many interests and therefore had a hard time deciding what to study in college/uni. Now I'm looking at game development educations.

by Shekinah on Tue Aug 17, 2010 4:49 pm

Fact:

This summer is very special to me. It's almost as if I got to know myself again or better and some very good changes have been made by myself. It makes me very very happy.

by Aya MacArthur on Wed Aug 18, 2010 5:09 am

Fact: Hates summer time in Arizona. It is too damn hot.

by Shekinah on Wed Aug 18, 2010 2:13 pm

Fact:

I went kickboxing today. It was my second time.

by **Kalon Ordona II** on Wed Aug 18, 2010 7:50 pm

Hm, I think random facts about us should be more... concrete -- less Facebook wall, more Myspace survey, if that helps. I'm not thinking of any posts in particular, here, so I'm not on anybody's case; I'm just trying to prod us back closer to the original spirit of this thread. I try to do that once in a while if we seem to be veering off. Smile

The Chatterbox Thread, more geared toward sharing recent activities, is a better place for voicing recent experiences and feelings. We all want to know and share in those things, most definitely. Very Happy

It's just that it's better if everything is in its proper place. n_n

"Random Facts About You" should be Facts, should be Random, and they should be About You. Smile

Less of:

Fact ~ I like how it's sunny outside right now.

More of:

Fact ~ I've always liked sunny days because they remind me of when I used to run around in circles on our lawn as a kid.

And then someone replies with, say:

Oh wow, lol, that's really cute! ^-^ I like sunny days, too.

Fact ~ My favorite color has always been purple.

Not:

Fact ~ I had a lawn when I was a kid, too.

( Note: Those quoted up there are made up, not facts about me personally. xD Though I do like how it's sunny outside right now. =P The following are about me.)

Fact: I have never broken a bone.

Fact: As of last year, I have played Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance eight times.

by **Silvan Arrow** on Wed Aug 18, 2010 8:02 pm

Fact: I didn't try watching Lord of the Rings until I was a teenager, and even the orcs scared me so much the first time through that I barely got to Rivendell in the first movie. But I tried watching them again after a unit on Tolkien in high school and absolutely loved it!

by **Kalon Ordona II** on Wed Aug 18, 2010 8:33 pm

That's awesome, Silvan! xD
I actually didn't even know about the books until after I saw the movie. (sad, right?)
Actually that's not true. I remember my mom mentioning that all her co-workers when she was younger were crazy about Lord of the Rings. At the time she mentioned it, though, I had no idea what that was. xD Huzzah for movies. ^^

( See, everyone, how I could have said ["Fact: I didn't read Lord of the Rings until after I watched the movies."], but I didn't? It's a response, so it shouldn't be worded as a "Fact:" of my own? n_n That way I get to respond in more detail, and you all get to see a proper Random fact about me. Not a Related fact about me.)

~~Fact: Right now, I'm sitting down.~~
(While this is random, is a fact, and is about me, it doesn't count because it won't always be true. Plus, it would just show a huge lack of creativity and effort. There are always more random facts about you.)

Fact: I really, really, really, really like egg nog.
(This fits the bill, but it's a bit unimaginative. How about...)

Fact: When I was around 4-6 years old, I had an amusing habit of wearing several layers of clothing, regardless of the weather. And by "several," I mean 4-5 shirts and 2-3 pairs of pants. Laughing

by Aya MacArthur on Thu Aug 19, 2010 2:45 am

Fact: I am going camping all weekend. Whoo!

by Shekinah on Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:59 am

Fact:

I saw my first horror movie when I was 6 years old (Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula). I did have nightmares from it, but strangely from the least scary scene of the whole movie. (And I've been loving horror movies ever since).

by **Silvan Arrow** on Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:03 pm

You're a far braver woman than I, Shekinah. My first horror movie was The Ring when I was in middle school, and it completely freaked me out. All the girls and I were screaming, and I kept my eyes closed for most of the movie.

Fact: I don't have any serious fears, but I startle very easily. And of course, my best friend likes to take advantage of this when I'm staying at her house and I'm coming down the dark hall late at night. She's so evil... Razz

by Shekinah on Fri Aug 20, 2010 9:46 am

Well, I can relate SilvanArrow Wink

I startle very easily too!

Fact:

I was 15 when I met the BF. We're still together, almost 9 years later.

by **Gadreille** on Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:21 pm

Fact: I tend to want to eat breakfast, second breakfast and afternoon tea. I don't mind skipping elevensies, luncheon, dinner or supper. I am not much of a hobbit Sad

Fact:

I wish I still had Wicked the novel.

by Shekinah on Sun Aug 22, 2010 8:24 am

Fact:

When I was 12, I won first place at the regional writing contest hosted by my high school

by **Kalon Ordona II** on Sun Aug 22, 2010 10:46 am

Oooh, the dark hallway of doom. I used to be afraid of that as a kid, till I defeated it with cold logic. There is absolutely no way a monster could (A) exist, (B) get in the house without it being totally obvious, (C) fit inside in the first place, and (D) pick on me specifically, and this specific moment. So if something DOES make a noise, it's probably a house, a pest, or a human -- often in conjunction. ^^

Fact ~ (I like tildes) Oh, yeah, actually, that's a good fact. ^^ I like tildes.

by **Silvan Arrow** on Sun Aug 22, 2010 2:47 pm

Fact: I secretly wonder if the building where I'm living is haunted because it makes funny noises at night. Some say it's just because the building is very old, but you just never know...

by Aya MacArthur on Mon Aug 23, 2010 2:33 am

Fact: My house is haunted.

by The Melancholy Spirit on Mon Aug 23, 2010 2:40 am

Fact: I think clubs could actually be decently cool if they played good music...

by Buzzwulf on Mon Aug 23, 2010 5:32 am

Fact: I am not in the slightest afraid of the dark.

by Miss Dagger on Mon Aug 23, 2010 10:36 am

Fact: I like challenging my fear of heights.

by **Silvan Arrow** on Mon Aug 23, 2010 11:58 am

Miss Dagger: I've also done that too! I don't like heights, but I climbed to the top of a fire tower while on a hike this summer largely for that same reason.

Fact: I still have frustration dreams about high school or just school in general. They generally involve me sitting in a class with no idea what's going on, failing a test, or rushing to turn in a late homework assignment. Keep in mind that none of this would actually happen in real life.

by Miss Dagger on Mon Aug 23, 2010 12:50 pm

Silvan: I never have that. Thank god. And I don't worry too much about late assignments anymore. You don't really get a punishment for turning it in late...

Fact: 80% of the time I'm late with my homework, if you have to write for it.

by Aya MacArthur on Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:06 pm

Fact: I hate dreaming.
