Random personal tidbits

Post something about yourself, it doesn't have to be deep or earth-shattering.

I love chocolate milk. Love it. It would be all I drink except milk is $5 a gallon and I ain't made of chocolate milk money.

Oh, I have a college degree in Business Administration. Bet none of you saw that one coming.

I like to play music at 80% speed cause it's easier to appreciate and it's funny how often it sounds more impressive.

I, on the other hand, sometimes play music at 176.5% speed, 176.5% being the percentage you need to use if you want to simulate a 33 rpm vinyl record being played at 45 rpm. Yes, I calculated that.

EDIT: Trying the 80% thing, some interesting results so far. For example, everything sounds like it's sung by Peter Steele from Type O Negative. Future project: play Type O Negative at 176.5%.

Wait, only speed or speed and pitch?

... okay, Current 93 just becomes incredibly depressing this way. That is, even more so.

I used to bite my nails while I was growing up. I stopped after the first few painful times I exposed skin that was never meant to be exposed, and haven't lapsed since.

I think of my characters as people to the point where I sometimes dream about them. When I was in creative writing, I actually wrote about one of the dreams I had about one that really brought him to life for me for a non-fiction piece and everyone thought it was my required fiction work, despite the fact that I said specifically it was a dream about a character at the beginning. I may have also gotten marked down for it by my teacher.

Edit: Whoops! Meaning-altering typo fixed!

Mine is on the front page of my DA thing. It's all about how people don't understand me and how everyone's a total conformist and I love to listen to MCR in the dark all alone.

Or, y'know, not.

I draw all the freaking time. It's how I unwind at the end of the day. XD; With how much I draw you'd think I'd be better.

I don't like waking people up. People are usually grouchy when they first wake up and I don't want to be the person they grouch at, so don't ask me to wake you up. XD I'll wake you up, but if you respond in an awake-manner and then go back to sleep, I might not notify you again. I'm not a snooze alarm.

I'm lazy as hell and sometimes hate myself for that.

I am not a member of any party. But if I HAD TO describe myself politically somehow, I would say... Lefthist liberal.

If brie cheese were a woman, I think my girlfriend would cheat on me with her.

I'm terrified of babies.
I haven't been able to come up with an explanation for it that makes any sense, but put me in a room with a baby and I'll start getting really nervous.
