Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I turn off my heat and permanently close my heating vents in my bedroom, as I sleep much easier when it's freezing cold (under 55 F).. When I do wake up, I turn the heat on to about 72, and after an hour or so, I just use the space heater.

I can't sleep in a room with sharp objects. It could be something as small as a pin or needle. But all of them need to packed up in their boxes, and those boxes need to be in the cupboards.


Yes, I have OCD and I have quite a few other quirks, as well.

I didn't get laid until 25...:(

I believe I'm in the wrong universe because I am allergic to the sun.

I cannot sleep in a room with the heat on. And there must be a window nearby that is open a few inches.


Good thread: I like it.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I'm a human being.

Thanks.


I actually cover my windows with aluminum tin foil to block out the sun.


I also need "white noise".. Usually the fan setting from my window air-conditioning unit.

My intestines are the enemy.

This must have taken guts to admit.

Let’s see, I injured myself while climbing a fence, jumped off a giant rock, and almost got attacked by Lacrosse players with Lacrosse sticks.

I'm excited about NBA pre-season

My favorite sport is college basketball, yet abhor the NBA. Go figure...

The NBA game has gone downhill for 30 years. Less about basketball and more about... shoes, twitter, and other garbage. .I tried college, but the 40 second shot clock is too much, and every year, there's an entire new team and it's hard to keep up.

I briefly stalked Tony Levin, the King Crimson and Peter Gabriel bassist. I hope he doesn't post here.

I make homemade pizza.

If this forum has a real life meet-up, it has to be at Citizen Rules' place.

15 years ago, about 25 of us (in another forum) met up in Toronto.. It was bittersweet, because the guy who had the idea (and organized it), died just four days before the event, but his wife came, and we met before the Roger Waters concert, and after.. One of the members was even nice enough to think of us Americans who weren't going to smuggle pot across the border.


It would be great if we had a chat room. We do have one occasionally, but its for The Oscars, and I'm clueless about it, and realize that even though I attend every time, I'm probably a waste of space :)

we do have a chat room.. in a way.. they have a discord account...

https://www.movieforums.com/communit...89#post1868589

Also for special events, Yoda opens a chat room here as well.

seems the link for Discord may no longer be vaild..

I'll have to make a real big pizza then:p

I was a hippie in college. That’s a fancy way of saying I stank.

I have so much in common with the other people here!

Despite local rumours to the contrary I've never, ever actually fought a tiger.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I can roll my stomach!
When I was a kid I had a pajama top with an illustration of a surfer on the front - when I rolled my stomach, the surfer looked like he was moving & riding the waves (a gif long before there ever was such a thing).

Used to go on a Friday The 13th forum, they had a live chat every Friday. We could try that here.

Never had a Starbucks coffee.

That's really not long.

I would try to go into the Discord room every day, but it died down unfortunately. I think part of that was because it was outside of the site.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I write poetry. Cause that is where the money is. LOL

I would never block the sun. I love it.

I hate noise of any kind & cannot sleep with an AC going. Even the white noise machines to me are hideously noisy.

I knit, but never learned to crochet.

How yummy.


Fact about me: Never learned to drive & never had a desire to do so.

Any bit of light would wake me up. I use noise because I've used a fan, etc., for so many years, and a change would ruin things. But most importantly, it's to block out the noise from the neighbors (their cars, dogs, etc).


I haven't driven in almost a year. My car is not worth fixing, and I absolutely hate driving. And now I have my groceries delivered to me, and haven't left my yard in almost a month.

There’s nothing worse than a barking dog. Nothing.

Especially the HIGH pitch from the smaller dogs. And going on for hours. The great thing about the cold is that I hear less. For the last month or two, the minute I heard a bark, I'd play my drums, hoping to condition those criminals next door. We don't even have noise control, animal control. The US will never make sense to me.

My Spanish neighbors love these little dogs that bark constantly. How do they live with dogs like this? Our neighborhood is quieter too in the winter as these same neighbors prefer the indoors.

We do have animal noise control in America. You can find the rules for your state online. You’d be surprised how strict they are & you can call the police.

I've called the police 5 times this year. They never show up. They're worthless. But when you don't want them around, or if you are following the law, they come to your house and ask why you're doing your job and playing drums, because the burglarizing neighbors didn't like me reporting a burglary (because they did it, and the son had a warrant out). The police told me "We only come out for ACTIVE burglaries" so then I lost it and asked "If someone was stealing my ****, do you think I'd be on the phone with you, watching them? Excuse me, let me move out of the way. Enjoy the guitars!"

Even if you choose to never drive, you should still learn how to drive. It's something that everyone should know how to do just in case of an emergency. It could be the difference between life or death someday.

Me neither.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I hate gore in movies. I don't like seeing blood, either.

I'd also prefer a gun shot to a stab (ouch - the impact)

I absolutely love to drive. One nice thing about the states, we've got variety and want to see it all. I'm trying, dammit!

It definitely won’t be & I won’t be learning to drive.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I don't know how to drive, either.

No kidding. You must be the only person in California who doesn’t drive.

Highly unusual in Connecticut not to drive. People are flabbergasted that I walk everywhere. Random people introduce themselves to me telling me they’ve seen me all over town. Made some good friends this way.

When I lived in London & New York, nobody I knew had a car.

Wow, that’s quite an admission. I respect you sharing this with us.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

No, since I haven't shown anyone, this MAY be up for debate... but I have a penis.

Thanks. I've typed that out on here so many times, usually under different threads, and even after posting, I'd hurry and delete the comment.

I feel you. There are things I could share, but I type them out & then delete them.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I have never played a video game.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

gonna give u short fact about me! i cant be bothered to type long so heres goes im a girl gamer i love playing video games, huge marvel fan and loves cats and dogs <3 :)

I’m fully quadrilingual but no, I never learnt to speak Hebrew, which makes me a lousy quitter. What makes it worse is acquaintances in Israel always appear annoyingly convinced that I’m fluent in it, come up and launch into tirades in Hebrew, and I stand there blinking and saying, ‘Tov, tov.’

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I never drank beer.

Me neither.

I have a beard and wear glasses.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I deleted the revelation I posted in here yesterday. It was a juicy one lol

:sweatsmile:

Dang! I miss all the good stuff!

I never knew someone could eat that many pickled eggs in one sitting. No wonder you deleted it.

Still don't know how you eat with your nose but hey, that's cool!

You can eat with your nose - provided your diet is mostly a liquid one!

I wear glasses & do not have a beard.

You must wear a moustache, then!

I never :
- went to a dance, prom or homecoming.
- snow skied (water skied many a time).
- had a true best friend.
- moved away from my birth area (SE Mich).

I have :
- placed second in a demolition derby at the county fair.
- bowled a 300 game.
- visited 40 states, 4 provinces and 5 countries.
- seen well over 400 concerts (everyone plays Detroit).

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I have never been to a bowling alley.

I haven't been to one in decades, but when I was young they were wonderous places!
That sound of breaking pins in the background was somehow magical, and there were usually pin-ball machines & video games - like an arcade with the sound of rolling balls and strikes in the background. Sometimes there'd be music or even a live band. At the one near me there was a bar (that was a spooky area when I was a kid): kinda dark and there were some characters who came just to sit at the bar and never bowled.

Basically, a giant indoor playground.

Random Fact: I haven't a thing to say today...I must have looked at a dozen threads this morning and didn't have one comment that I wanted to make.

Except for this one. :p

I read it as being in a thought bubble.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I only drink water late in the night.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I do not drink.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I drink a lot...of water that is!

Late at night - like Matt? :p

Nope, that would make me have to get up and use the bathroom!

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I sat next to the hottest girl in my high school for a full year (I forget what class) and never said a thing to her because I was terribly shy around girls.



She never said anything to me either, but I get the feeling it was for a completely different reason.

• Never been drunk;
• Never had a female as a friend, my sister doesn't count, literally;
• Just had one real friend and he was family, but my other friends think differently;
• Never visited anything further than 150km radius, just like the Hobbitses;
• Never camped anywhere, never hiked, but want to;
• Don't recall staying one single day without anyone around me, but want to;
• Never had any hobby I was passionate about;
• Never really did anything I didn't want to do-
• Also never did the things I wanted to do as well;
• Can count with one hand the number of books I've read, they bore me.

I don't know, I'm not interesting, is hard to write anything about me, if there's anything I could relate would be those filthy Hobbitses, I like the peace and quiet, and the trees, and flowers, and rivers, and the birds singing, and the sunset, and the rain, and the seasons, it's simple, but even they get drunk, go figure.

gosh u should go to one. their fun

I think I still have a crush on a high school teacher I had twice... I saw her a few years ago at a local supermarket, and talked to her for a bit.. I still think she is one of the three prettiest women on Earth.

I drink too much coffee.
I drink enough water.
I think I pee too many times a day.
My definition of ‘the prettiest’ woman on earth changes with age.

Got my first vaccine shot today; BioNTech/Pfizer.

I also pee a lot, but I don't eat anything until about 7:30pm, but when I'm going to be in a car for an hour, I do eat something, and it helps.

I eat one meal a day, usually around night time. I've turned into a night owl since retirement.

In my 30s, I went from being a night owl to an early bird.. I go to bed about 11pm and wake up at 7am (on a good day), but I eat from 8-bed and avoid knowing what time it is.

I do not eat anything after 7 p.m. until breakfast at 8 a.m.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I once could pride myself on my patience and empathy to those around me. Now that that's shot, I'd be ok if an asteroid just knocked us out of orbit.

My problem is there are so many weird, dispossessed, mentally ill, pugnacious, troublesome people around (male & female) that one’s “patience & empathy” is spread rather thin. I just can’t see giving money to people who use it either to snort whatever or put it in a vein.

I financially support 7 (might be 8) animal shelters/sanctuaries each month & I know my money makes a huge difference for those who care for animals in need.

Excuse the ramble/digression.

A big thumbs up for that:up:

I see it differently. My father once told me a story about a man in Espinho which he given money to. It might have been in the seventies, maybe eighties. The man asked him for money and he replied: It's for food? The man promptly said: Yes, yes. An hour later my father was walking near the beach and heard a man singing very loudly near the sea. He went to look closer and saw it was the man he had given money to buy food earlier. He had spent it on a bottle of wine. My father said to himself: I'll never give money to no one. My father felt cheated, but now, knowing my father a little better, I understand he was just jealous that man was having a good time without a care in the world because of the money he given him. If you go to a tavern in a small village there's always the town drunk, that doesn't work, and everyone gives a coin to get him drunk, that man is a reminder of someone's whose free at his own standards, that's why people give one coin to support a dream, I know you reading this will think this is just silly, specially if you're a woman, but it is what it is.

I've given money to people I knew were going to spent it on alcohol, even heroin in some cases. You might think I was supporting an addiction but I know, from personal experience I was just helping some old lady who would get a broken arm from a purse robbery, or a man waking up at night with someone in his kitchen trying to defend his possessions and get stabbed and bleeding to death. Criminality, world wide is created by inequality, this have been proven, it's not poverty, or misery, it's inequality in a community. If you don't give to people who don't have something to lose, they'll take it, and might even take what's more precious to you, that's nature. Throwing money to those individuals won't solve a thing, but future oriented, for a smart person, it's the thing to do.

In my case I'd give that man money for two bottles and not just one, since I don't have the guts to join him.

i never eat breakfast. i uselly eat night time aswell and lunch time thats all =/

I enjoyed reading your post very much.


When I help people, its direct - in real life, or even on the internet.

I have 4 younger siblings. Three brothers & a sister. All in England.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I love cloudy days, and especially rain and thunderstorms (all happening right now) very early.. 2pm here. I love that it's so dark. It's so calming...The noise pollution (barking dogs and neighbors) goes away.. I had a trip on Friday, just sitting on my porch off and on til 7am (which is when I usually wake up if I sleep in). I can't stand sunshine..

I'm the baby with three older sisters.Wearing hand-me-downs were embarrassing.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I'm not getting the vaccine. What happens when more and more side effects come about months from now? I have no one but myself who will take care of me, so I'm not changing a damn thing.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

I have never successfully repaired a zipper.

I don't think I have, either. It's too bad, because I like everything to have a zipper, so my important stuff doesn't fall out.

Re: Post a Random Fact About Yourself
 

Zippers...technology from the past that mostly work great today, mostly.

And they mostly work well at night... mostly.

:p I though you'd get that.

Fun Fact !


I once pissed myself when a zipper decided to break. Yes, it was beer night.

It’s totally doable. Repaired more than one myself.
