Five things you might not know about me

[Matt R]

1) I've been a member of the site since it was an MSN Community.
2) I read philosophy a lot and plan to study it when my doctor releases me.
3) I've got an identical twin brother and two other siblings.
4) I'm a poker fanatic and spend multiple hours a day playing it. I'm obsessed.
5) I'm handicapped.

daan - stop picking on me!! (You can't hide from me. I'll hunt you down and cover you in jam. So there.)

What flavour? Chunky, with pieces of fruit, or smooth?


Hopes its not raspberry. The pips got everywhere last time...

 

[Mrs. Famine]

Smooth jam sticks better, chunky would mean bits drop off and get stuck to the carpet.
And it'd be strawberry.

Another 5 things you don't know about me yet...

1- Me and my dad tried to get my brother to join the foreign legion once, just to get some distance between us.

2- I'm still good friends with the first girl I ever dated.

3- Every job I've ever had has been connected to the telecommunications market.

4- There's a restaurant in Playa de las Americas in Tenerife, I've been there so many times the now head waiter knows me and welcoms me back with open arms every time I'm over there.

5- I can throw a hefty punch, I used to train with few boxers when I was 17 and 18. But the idea of me getting into a situation where I have to defend myself and I hitting someone hard and hurting them badly, say they smack thier head hard on the ground, that scares the **** out me.

Ahh, its good to know I'm dealing with an expert in the "covering in jam" line of work. There are too many amateurs out there.

daan and GTPlant, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G..

Bet he'd ban her.

 

[kennythebomb]

1. I write lots of lyrics and songs.
2. I just bought a car as my own Christmas present.
3. Due to the college that I am attending, I lead three different lives. Kettering University, my school, is in Flint, MI and I live around there in different places 6 months out of the year. The other time is spent in Dearborn, MI working at my engineering job at Ford. As with school, I don't have a permanent address down there either, and I am constantly moving every three months and having to find new people to live with. I spend about a month out of the year total on breaks at my permanent address, my dad's house, in Chicago.
4. My sense of humor is one of my most unqiue attributes... probably closest to Touring Mars in terms of puns. Most people who meet me don't get my jokes.
5. Like live4speed, I'm still good friends with my first girlfriend, also. I drove down to see her yesterday, actually.

Hard!

 

[Mrs. Famine]

Ohhhh yeah baby. Now you're talking

 

[Wolfe]

2- I'm still good friends with the first girl I ever dated.

So am I, but I can do you one better -- at one point during high school, she hated me so much that she slashed one of my bicycle tires and managed to turn most of the people I knew against me. Now, she's my best friend's girlfriend. Also, one of my coworkers and her fiance were two of the members of that group who hated me.

We're all friends now.

We need more females on this site. This is fun.

 

[Mrs. Famine]

*goes to buy pallet of jam*

 

[Lee]

I reccomend the apricot variety, I've heard they reach places any other jam only dream of.

Where's daan when you need him?

 

[Mrs. Famine]

Sorry - he's currently stuck to the carpet. Falling over when covered in jam is never a good idea.

 

[TopHat]

I've been covered in fudge, so its not fun bieng stuck to anything..... And by covered, I mean my entire left hand.

Is that one of the 5 things we might not have known about you?

Anyway, in a vain attempt to get this back on track...

Five things you might not know about me

• 1. I actually DO play hockey (field, not ice). I generally play wherever, because I'm currently the captain of my side, but prefer left-back or striker. I've scored 7 this season, I think. And I have played in goal. Twice.
• 2. I am a trombonist (or 'boner). I only reached grade 5, because any further grades required music theory which is as dull as black hole made of mud, but have played in all different kinds of bands. There exists a tape (big band), a CD (swing band), a radio recording (swing band) and 5 national TV broadcasts (swing band playing religious-themed music with a swing style) of my playing, and I played 1st trombone in my university swing band.
• 3. I am physically incapable of belching.
• 4. Unlike what seems to be the majority of the other staff here, I've never been arrested or tried drugs. I've never smoked either, but cannot survive without coffee and chocolate. I don't drink heavily - no more than a beer or glass of wine as accompaniment to a meal, and occasionally a nightcap of Baileys or Jack Daniels. Although I do often travel in excess of the speed limit, where conditions allow, that's the limits of my criminality. Unless you count the porn.
• 5. Unless badly stressed by something I can't figure out (like why I've only got 5 drivers left for 6 spots, and one of them twice), or tosspots, I am rarely seen in public without a knowing smile and a regionless accent. I can get very Yorkshire when shouting and the very, very few people who have heard me shouting try not to let it happen again, as I'm quite loud and scary. Trombonist lungs...

 

[TopHat]

A few more of me....

6. I am a /b/tard....I'm a baaaaaaaad boy.

7. I am a /b/locker /b/rother on Habbo Hotel, SORRY POOL IS CLOSED DUE TO FAIL AND AIDS. Man thats funny.

8. I eat. A lot. I never seem to gain a single pound.

9. I am the butt of many jokes.

10. Even though I have a horrible temper, when the jerks of my school try to confront me, unless they say something so horrible, I'll just laugh at them and say, what the heck are you going to do? They get a confused look and shut their yaps after that.

Also, as a quick question: Do any of you liek Mudkips?

But are you an overweight lesbian?

 

[HACKr]

1. My best friend in the world is a girl and she means the world to me, no matter what. She tells me everything, and I can't live without her.

2. I play guitar (delayed, like The Edge) and keyboard, and I have some recording equipment, enough to record a small band.

3. I used to browse GTP back when I was ten.

4. All of my recent clothing is black.

5. I don't hack other peoples computers. (Though I could) I only hack games.

 

[Evolution.]

1. My best friend in the world is a girl and she means the world to me, no matter what. She tells me everything, and I can't live without her.

1. (See quoted post)

2. I'm a really good listener, especially when someone tells me they really need to talk or something.

3. I actually have more female friends than guy friends (really, only because there's almost a 3:1 girl to guy ratio in our school )

4. I really am a procrastinator. I work alot better under pressure.

5. I'm also a perfectionist. If something isn't 100% to my likings, I will fix it as needed.

To add to #1, I am very protective of all of my female friends. I've literally been suspended from school because one guy went a bit too far with harassing a girl I've been very close to since around 2nd grade. I'm just like that.

 

[Turbo Lag]

6. I tend to go absolutely nutz when someone repeatedly does something wrong over and over again.

7. i skid my bike on every right turn i do

8. i no who nearly everyone liked in my old class (boys AND girls). They ONLY tell me .

9, i was part of the unpopular group last year

10. i once dreamt of driving some car (i think it was an M5)

11.

I eat. A lot. I never seem to gain a single pound.

same

12. i have an obsession of bashing little, metal cars with a hammer. I also go to my back yard and play kinda tennis with small cars as the ball and with a hammer like a tennis raquet. i play it on a fence and now the fence has got millions of dents in it(from the cars). I also light them cars on fire after bashing them

13. i have a weird power to "wreck" people if you know what i mean. And i can make people feel REALLY guilty

Yes, ive got weird obsessions

 

[a6m5]

I'd like to be the 100th person to mention how great this thread is. 👍 Most interesting and funny stuff about fellow gtplanet members in here(Der Alta's was too much! ). And I hope Solid's(or can I call you Mike, too?) health will be improving.

Here's my 5 that you guys truly wouldn't know about me:

1) I have a mental condition that makes me put signs on people's backs. I'm 32. "Slow Moving Vehicle", "Kick Me.. Please!", "I Love Kobe Bryant So Much!", etc., etc. Sometimes I use toilet papers. Sorry....

2) I've never owned a rear wheel drive vehicle. Every time I drive rear wheel drive cars(company vehicles, friend's cars), I try to break loose the rear, when no one's looking.

3) Growing up, I used to get into fights just about weekly. My uncle used to tell my mom, "it's good that he's getting all the aggression out while he's still a kid". His reasoning was that when I beat the crap out of somebody, it's not like I get in trouble with the Police, but if I beat the crap out of somebody as an adult, I will.

He was right. I never fight, and rarely feel like fighting. I'm also known to be one of the most laid back person, who's really hard to piss off. Also, my kid brother who I used to beat up or had to stick up for, because he would never fight, now he's a semi-pro cage match fighter(perfect record as both amateur and pro).

4) I have a Japanese first name, but English last name that sounds like a first name. Everytime I went to a library, same librarians asked me, "is this your first name or last name?". My last name came from my ex-stepfather, but I haven't been able to change it, since it is very tricky to change your name as a Japanse Citizen residing in the U.S.

5) This is kind of embarrassing, but since everybody's baring their souls.... I'm often attracted to older women. Most of my life, really. I've never dated anyone older than me though(if they've been honest ), as far as I know. For some reason, again, most of my life, a lot of younger girls are attracted to me, and I used to hate that. But now that I'm a has-been, it's kinda nice.

5. Unless badly stressed by something I can't figure out (like why I've only got 5 drivers left for 6 spots, and one of them twice), or tosspots, I am rarely seen in public without a knowing smile and a regionless accent. I can get very Yorkshire when shouting and the very, very few people who have heard me shouting try not to let it happen again, as I'm quite loud and scary. Trombonist lungs...

I have to question the fact that you are from Yorkshire. You have a "posh" accent, and there is absolutely no sign of a flat cap or a whippet.

But are you an overweight lesbian?

I think that's a given.

 

[GT4_Rule]

1. I was born in Japan but my parents are Chinese. I am half Manchrian and half Han. I came to Canada six years ago after living in Japan for ten years.

2. I play the flute but played Trombone for a year. My high-school band plays Level 4.0 music. My band got invited to work with the Vancouver Symphonic Orchestra in November. Then we went to a world premiere concert of a Candian written music.

3. I'm academic but I never study. Studying for tests make me do worse. I love math and science. My highest grades are from the branch subjects of the two courses.

4. I speak two languages fluently; Japanese and English. In addition I speak French and Chinese, though with limited vocabulary. I never learned how to speak Chinese properly, so that's quite an achivement for me. I learned how to speak English from scratch; I did not know a single word while I lived in Japan. Well, maybe words like "Hello" or "Goodbye" but nothing more.

5. I got hit with a brick in the left side of my head when I was 6 while I spent a year in my parents' native China. I was at school during the incident - someone threw a brick at a kid but missed and hit me. I recovered but I got screwed up for a while.

 

[a6m5]

Yeah, English from Japan's really useful, huh? Other than "Hallo" and "Goodo Buy", I also tried "Camaro", "Chocolate", "Vanilla"(yes, I tried to order a lot of ice creams). Americans had no idea what I was trying to say. Actually, my favorite was "Def Leppard". My ex-stepdad replied, "What? Different bird?".

Oh, I thought you were born looking like that......

Remind me never to mess with a Chinese kid.

 

[Danny]

8. I eat. A lot. I never seem to gain a single pound.

Is the avatar a clue of why?

 

[Bram Turismo]

But do you speak West-Flemish? Want da's petank vree schoon nochtans.

West? Nah,

Mak kant toch nog steeds zenne 👍

 

[Specialized]

1) I have been arrested for burgling and abandoned/derelict building! When i was younger me and my friends were messing about near and old run down cafe which we then decided to explore. The police turned up and took me and my friends away which resulted in a caution by the police! How you can burgle a building which has absolutely nothing inside? I wasn't a happy chap as one might imagine. The police officer wasn't best pleased also when i slipped one of my hands out of the handcuffs he had put on me as he hadn't done one hand up tight enough. Apparently i had to be handcuffed because i had to go alone in one car with one police officer as the other 3 people i was with were in the other car with two officers. I also found it to be a complete waste of time, a few stern words would have been suitable rather than wasting 3 police officers time, using up 4 cells in the police station and having to go through all the administration and stuff. The could have been trying to capture some real criminals rather than messing about with a bunch of kids doing nothing that really warranted all that hassle. My parents also grounded me for a couple of weeks.

2) When i was in primary school (around the age of 6 and 7) we watched a tv series which scared me so much my mum had to write my teacher a note to say that i couldn't watch the program anymore because it gave me nightmares.

3) I wasn't exactly a star pupil in secondary school and pretty much failed to get the grades i wanted (obviously a side effect produced from point 2). I then did a G.N.V.Q in science to get my overall G.C.S.E grades up to what they should be and proceeded to get the highest results ever achieved for that course in the county. It wasn't for a couple of weeks that my science teacher told me that if i had asked for my paper to be remarked i would have got perfect marks.

4) Dismissing what a few members of GTPlanet say i am not actually an alcoholic!

5) I appeared as the main photo in a double page centre spread in the local newspaper once . On new years day in my village we have an annual "Pram Race". People have to dress up in themes and provide a cart/pram which matches the theme and run around the small village (the course is probably about 1km) downing a pint of beer at every one of the four pubs on route over 2 laps. We dressed up as "surf dudes" in wet suits. The following day i went into work, i was still at 6th form and worked at Safeways at the time) where i was greeted by a few of the other workers all reading the local paper and looking at me funnily. One of them eventually told me that i was the center photo of this double page photo spread and showed the the offending image.

Im also well aware of the irony of posting point 5 after point 4.

Spec....
