I'm 21, I'm part Irish and part Welsh, and I hate the taste of alcohol. The only time I had a beer was on my 21st birthday, Janurary 16 of this year, and I haven't had one since.

-novels
-screenplays
-video games
don't ask for information on anything because if it isn't currently covered by an NDA, than it is something I would rather keep unknown until releases. ^_^

-I've been with said girlfriend for more than four years, and we're totally in love.

I am immune, or at least very resistant to, every medication I have ever been given. When I was having my wisdom teeth removed, the oral surgeon gave me "twilight" anesthetic, which is a mixture of valium and demerol. He stuck the needle in my arm, started the drip and told me to count backward from 100. I made it all the way to 63 before I fell asleep, and when the drip stopped, I woke back up. By the time he was done removing the teeth, I had completely shrugged off the meds. He told me that I should have gone under before I reached 97.
My usual shift at work is 13 hours, 5 days a week. I hate my job. I don't get paid hourly, and I'm not a salaried employee. Such is the joys of being an auto mechanic. I get paid by the job, unless it's just a free inspection. I looked at 23 cars today at work, 15 of them needed brake repairs, two needed engine work, and the other 6 needed a combination of tire replacement and suspension repairs. I get paid $19 a flat hour, and today, after spending 13 hours in a shop that averages 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer time, I made a grand total of $5. I spent more than that on gas driving to work.
For those of you who don't know what I mean by "flat hour", the way that most mechanics get paid is on what's called flat rate. For example, the average brake job at my shop is replacement of the brake pads and resurfacing the brake rotors. That pays 1.5 hours, regardless of how long it actually takes. If I get the job done in 30 minutes, I get paid 1.5 hours. If the job takes me 7 hours because I have to wait on the parts to arrive, I get paid 1.5 hours. Sometimes it's a great way to make a living, other times, like today for instance, it makes me want to stand on the Moon, face the world and say "Fuck you".

I'm a Korean American who was raised in the South. (YA know...the sweet tea south).
I can't speak Korean.
I can however speak a little Spanish (not fluently of course) and a little Mandarin.
I use to put off beating video games because I didn't want them to ever end.
I have a bad spending habit. I am really trying to work on it.
I suck at Math.
I can twirl drumsticks better then I can play the drums.
I work at a Museum.
I really want to meet my real Mom and visit Korea someday.
I have my own blog (just like everyone else).
I was doing that one thing waaay before it was cool.

I was born with 2 extra fingers....they had no bones so the doctors removed them so now i have 2 little nubs on my pinkys as a reminder
I have the irritating need to click the left mouse button until I feel a specific amount of force on my fingertip, I have yet to do such successfully. It often results in me randomly attacking things in games, or accidentally highlighting copy paragraphs of text from webpages.
The earliest memory of playing video games I have is playing Super Mario World 64 while hospitalized for pneumonia when I was 5 or 6.
I have a scar on my knee, but I don't know where it came from.
I only get sick once a year, usually in February, but the rest of the year is filled with migraines and neck pain.

Where to start.
- I'm going to a college with between a 10-1 and 17-1 female to male ratio.
- I have a fetish for scars but pain is a massive turn off.
- I get a massive rush from being on stage.
- Cute girls tend to gather around me. (As friends tho' much to my disappointment.)
- Both of my drama teachers swore they'd never cast me in a play the first time I preformed with them. I haven't failed to be in a play since. XD
- My voice is very distinctive. It's very deep and in combination with my poor volume control and the fact my voice projects exceptionally well it makes it hard for me to whisper.
- I started growing a beard and mustache at the age of 16. I doubt my friends would recognize me if I shaved...
- Lastly, I appear to have a penchant for making really annoying noises. (Quiet constant shrill whistling, and this weird noise I make when I'm excited.)

I've seen a UFO. I'm also terrified of low content post warnings, so... I have to regularly drink a stool softener to be able to go to the bathroom. I've never had a girlfriend. As a child I was regularly hit in the head by foul softballs at my sister's softball games. I'm an atheist. I used to be a democrat, now I'm a libertarian. I once built a K'Nex Roller Coaster and years later used the same pieces to build a working K'Nex elevator from scratch. When I was nine, I saw Harold Ramis from Ghostbusters at a toy store.
I'm Autistic, high functioning to the point where it isn't even noticeable to most people. I'm also legally blind in my right eye. I had my lens removed as a baby because a cataract was growing on it. It's just really blurry. and my other eye is nearsighted. yes my vision is ballz.
