    Stuff you realized was bad even as a kid

    Hm...probably Choose your own adventure books. I mean, I guess some of them can be fun, but most of the time the story is lame and you just end up skipping through the book trying to find the one good ending.

    What do you Own That's Turned Heads?

    I have this monster-looking hat thing that I got back when Gaia Online was still a thing in my life.Thankfully, I grew out of that phase, but it's still a fun hat to wear. I also have my super thick ski mask, but that usually elicits "OMG I need one of those" rather than weird looks. Then...

    Games that make you go "How could anyone hate this?"

    Probably the original Paper Mario. Yeah, it's Mario-the RPG, but it's fun, and it's a way to get people who don't like RPG's into them.

    It's Midnight...and there's someone outside your window

    Call out to make sure it isn't my brother trying to get me to unlatch the deadbolt and let him in, then call the police.

    You Should Tip

    I try to tip whenever I can, because I know how shitty a job it is, but I can't tip every time, because I don't usually have enough money to. I usually let them keep the change when I can, but that's not usually much. What really pisses me off though, is that I'm reasonably certain that Utah...

    Wearing Shoes Inside - The Fuck?

    I wear my shoes indoors sometimes, but usually only if I'm getting ready to leave, have just gotten home, or have to do something that would involve a danger to my feet if I did it in my slippers (cooking, fixing lights, etc.). I don't wear shoes just to warm my feet-I have super thick socks for...

    Have you ever avoided something because of its fanbase?

    Probably My Little Pony. I've watched some of it, but I don't really discuss it because I know I'll get pounced on by the weirder segments of the internet. Captcha: hobby-horse, how nice.b

    Poll: Chick-fil-a owner admits to anti-gay views

    What surprises me is that people don't seem to realize that companies outside of churches and stuff can be run by Christians. Good for him, I guess. It's hard to say, you know? A while ago I would have totally agreed, but when someone in your own family comes out...

    Monster Energy Drink Company Bullies A Forum...for fish keeping

    For goodness sake...*signs* Even though I'll probably have to unsub from their mailing lists again...

    Poll: If someone walked into your room, could they tell that you are a gamer?

    Depends on where they look. I mean, I've got a game art poster on my wall, but it's one of the side walls, not the one right across from the door. I also have a lot of game cases in my bookshelves, but with the labels turned in so they'd have to recognize them for game cases, and I don't keep my...

    Heroes you yelled "YOU IDIOT!" at.

    Hm...probably Cloud from FFVII. He should've started to expect to see Sephiroth's ugly mug, and been ready to kill him far before the end, you know?

    Your internet "Homepage".

    My actual homepage is blank, but the first page I always go to is Gmail, usually followed by YouTube, The Escapist, XKCD, Penny Arcade, MSPaint Adventures when I'm really bored.

    You get to remove one word from the English language

    "Literally" There's just no need for it, most of the time.

    Your most unlucky purchase

    Once, I bought a $1000 dollar car...within a week, the transmission fell out of it on a train track. At least the train didn't hit it, I wouldn't want to imagine what that would have cost me. At least the mechanic was nice about it and bought it off of me for parts.

    Your last club/pub/venue... is now Hotel California.

    Hm. So I'm trapped in a stadium with shitty, overpriced food. Well, at least Kansas will be performing live every night.
