[Falvlun]

1) I sit down when I type

Hey I do too! We're practically twins!

11) "Contact" is my 10th favorite film of all time

I usually only cut my hair once a year.

Are you rocking the Beatles look by December?

This made me happy.

 

[tumbleweed41]

Pretty much

This made me happy.

Thanks, it made us all pretty happy too.

(Notice the Beatles T-shirt on the big hairy guy.)

[Sententia]

1. My room is metalic purple.

hee hee. I went through a phase where I wanted to paint every room black.

2. My sleep usually consists of a morning nap, and an evening nap. ...four hours here, three hours there. I only sleep nights on weekends.

At one point I was a workaholic and was programming 20 hours a day 6 days a week and sleeping only during long compiles and when my body lapsed into some odd state of being comatose. (Where I would sleep for 12-15 hours straight)

3. My I'doll's name is Ultra.

Not sure what an i'doll is.

11. I want to move to Austin Texas. Or Southern Cali. I hate the North East. Lived here my whole life, too cold, WAY too expensive. I hate it. Did I already say that?

I love most of the north east. I have my complaints but the weather is irrelevant. I like having all four seasons and relish them all.

13. I have been conceptualizing and drawing my own Tarot Deck for the past year.
I took a break from drawing to gain a deeper understanding and insight of certain cards first.
I think I'm almost ready to begin drawing again.

When exposed to superstition I am always at first enthralled and rapidly descend to the last person on earth you would ever want to talk to. I am a ridiculous skeptic. I am however really into drawing and have wasted days here: Doodle or Die

14. Once I get out of this mortgage, I will NEVER ever 'buy' a house again.
I want the freedom to be able to simply pick up and leave/move at any time.

Realistically I don't see a mortgage as a tether... I consider it such so long as it is useful for me to do so though. I don't have the desire to leave or move so much as I have the desire to settle down...

15. Once I get out of this marriage, I will never ever enter into a legal marriage again.
I absolutely prefer total legal Self Autonomy. As well, I never want to count on anyone again, for my prosperity/living/economic support etc.

I never felt the need to get married...

19) I failed my driver's test the first time for being 'too careful.'

I failed because I was a bad driver. I passed the second time aware of what they wanted but still a bad driver. In the following 5 years I got into 6 accidents and received 30-40 speeding tickets and totaled 5 cars (3 were not mine) Funny story... my first accident was cutting through a CVS because I didn't want to wait for a light to turn green. Some girl had the same idea and hit me. Was completely her fault though. So I said we should call the police... (Wasn't my car). She was like no no no... lets just exchange insurance and personal information. So I wrote down everything on her license and insurance card and drove home with a destroyed car that had a max speed of about 40 mph and never called the police... I was completely scammed... it still upsets me... she never paid a dime nor did her insurance. (I did)

17) The last time I voted for POTUS was in 1996. I am proud of this.

Why?

8) I'm a devout minimalist. I genuinely believe that the things you own end up owning you. My dream home is a 400 sq.ft. cabin w/ solar power. My devotion to minimalism may stem from losing everything I had... twice.

Agreed. A self sustained existence that requires no outside help is ideal and to be worked towards but if you should require help I believe it should be there for you.

How is this possible? It doesn't matter whether you like it or not — you're Canadian! You have to!

It just never came up.

Part of it is that I grew up in Toronto, so you have to either be wealthy or save up to afford going to a Maple Leafs game.

 

[Acim]

Can't roll Rs

Me neither. It is embarrassing when in room with younger person who makes it look easy schmeasy.

Thinks Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and James Bond movies are utterly boring

I'm with you on the "I'm sorry" thing, the love for cats thing, and the lobster is unappealing thing, but you lost me on this one. Maybe if they had obscure Japanese musical soundtracks you'd appreciate these films for the great works of art that they are.

lol Maybe. I just can't seem to stay interested in the plots. Star Wars is too spacey, LotR is too...large scale? Slow? Something like that. James Bond is mainly due to the lack of fantasy to it.

Oh, might as well add Indiana Jones to it. Watched one as a kid. Never went back to it.
