Tell us something about yourself

[BlazeTheVampire]

I was under the impression that most Americans immediately associate Austria with Arnold Schwarzenegger (Yeah, I'm not too sure of the spelling there and I'm too lazy to pull up IMDB on another tab. I admit spelling defeat).
But yes, I certainly was aware of the difference. Yet somehow, your statement that 50% of people will think of Australia instead of Austria doesn't surprise me in the slightest. People are stupid. (Wizard's First Rule, yay! If you get that reference, you're my new best friend- none of my current friends know what I'm talking about when I say "Wizard's First Rule," and it bothers me).
(I think I'm done writing in parentheses )

Me well, I seem to be leet right now. Oooo! Looky at my post count! Me so 1337!! Take that god! Haha!

Anywho, I dedicated this thread for everyone to tell us something about themselves so that we, the Escapist, can become a big huggy family.

To start off, I can't watch porn. Being a film student and a lover of the movies, if ever I did see it, I would constantly be thinking to myself how much the lighting is shit, or that the camera angle is pathetic for this situation or how bad the acting is. It's really odd, but I can't help it. So I never watch it because of that.

How about that to break the ice!

Imagine a Tarkovsky porn film. Or not. There are plenty of bad films without sex scenes. And "The Silence" by Bergman, which is a good film, but with sex scenes. (Also see any French art film made in the last thirty years.) Go figure.

"The Dreamers," enough said. That was actually released in the US too and isn't difficult to find; surprising for a French art film.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

It's actually correct that way, congratulations.

Also Darth Mobius is right, there are people who know the difference and our current political situation as well, but then again those are just the few exceptions to prove the rule (It was an rather ineffective statement for me to make on this forum, considering that the level of intelligence here is much, much higher than in the rest of the internet).

SCORE! My innate ability to spell things wins again! I thought I may have gotten it when Firefox didn't underline it in red, but it was also possible that Firefox spell checker didn't even know what to make of that jumble of letters, lol.
Random rant from work... why the hell are people still buying the original Xbox? Seriously. I mean, even if you're poor and can't afford the 360, go for PS2 instead because Sony's dumb and still makes games for it. Original Xbox? We moved all the games to Used, and the selection's very picked over. I refuse to accept an excuse for buying a system that's pretty much dead and buried. End rant.
Begin new rant. Gamer girls are not that much of a rarity anymore. Yes we're here, yes we have tits. Get over it and move on with your life. >.<

I'm terrified of fruit, mostly oranges, and I have to spell check everything. Oh yes, and I have to say curriculum like crick-crum.

 

[Infradead]

I have multiple personalities, one of which has recently been declared clinically insane. Most people can't tell the difference.

I measure my worth by how many comments I get on my reviews.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

Hi my name is Panda and most of the people in my life think I am miserable. I play guitar, piano, sing, play drums and have been writing songs since I was 13. There isn't much else to say other than that if I was a robot I wouldn't have a penis.

Right, it seems people are spouting their life stories... prepare to be bored!

Born in '93, in Melbourne, to Indian folks, I was the spoiled little brat of the household. During my 10 years in Melbourne, I have broken my collor bone, stuck a recorder down my throat, and it seemed I was obsessed with suits (it might stem from the same thing causing me to be uber at Commerce).

Moving out of Melbourne sometime in the late 90's, I lived in Brisbane. It seems my parents picked the most bogan spot to live, as I remember the kids were racists pricks. Other than that, Brisbane is a boring place. I personally hate it, due to the aforementioned pricks.

I later moved to my current residency, Sydney, in 2001 (yeh, I was kinda pissed I missed the Olympics). I ended up going to a decent primary school, and later, the local high school. I get good grades (top classes for practically everything, and came first in History and Commerce last year), and most people in school seem to not hate me, meaning I'm not really picked on. I have many acquaintances, while I find it hard to point at one, and say "I'd take a bullet for him". Oh, did I mention I go to an all-boys school? Coupled with my lack of social life outside school (yeh, well, I don't go out much. I like being in front of the computer), this means I'm most likely never gonna get a girlfriend.

As for the future, I hope to get into a good university and study economics, due to my talent in Commerce. I want to have money, so a job in economics seems like a likely career opportunity. I also want to see some places, like the US and Japan. Funny thing is, last year, we had to fill in a sheet 'bout our life-goals, and how far we'd go to achieve them (it was related to MacBeth), and I was dumb-struck when asked to pick an ambition. I could think of anything, as I really just want to have a peaceful life.

... Boring, aren't I?

Or, if they're blunt, I get equally as blunt. Makes for funny stories. My first day back at my current store after college, I had a guy hitting on me (and they get really presumptuous, making for high-quality entertainment):
Him: "I'll bet you have a boy, huh?"
Me: "Actually no, I'm a lesbian." (I'm bisexual, but currently dating a girl)
Him: (after a look of pure amazement) "Have you ever tried guys?"
Me: "Of course I have."
Him: "But you ain't tried me."
Me: "And I don't intend to."

It's amazing what people feel entitled to ask, isn't it? I've had variations of that conversation more than once.

Other Person, upon hearing that I am a lesbian: So, have you ever been with a guy?
Me: No.
OthPer: Then how do you know you wouldn't like it.
Me: Well I haven't tried having sex with a dog either, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it.

--or--

Middle-Age Man: Do you have a boyfriend?
College-Age Me: No.
MAM: Why not?
CAM: Because if I did, my girlfriend would kick my ass.

That ended the conversation right there.

I'm NOT a taco.

 

[al_banzon]

I'm a dancer, and i freaking love it

 

[aquana]

It amuses me when I do something stupid and the people around me blush liek whoa. I'm easily amused.

 

[paddy_soldier]

I am a christian gamer.
I love jesus.
I hate porn, but I watch it sometimes even though I dont want to because I am a weak human being, I hate the influence it has over me, its addictive and destructive in my experience. I never want to watch it again.
I live in kalgoorlie-boulder western australia.
I was in an engineering degree at the West Australian School of Mines, but I quit 1/2 way through my semester because I felt god telling me (sounds weird I know, but it makes sense to me)
I love girls, probably too much, I struggle daily with lust
Im really tall 6'5 or like 2m... something I havent measured myself in cm in a while
I love basketball, american football, paintball, christian music, bass guitar and mountain biking.
I also think Im falling in love with this forum, I only found it today, but it seems to be a small enough community to have close friendships and a large enough community to have lots of threads active. Also I know that guy who does the thing... video reviews with sarcasm... "zero punctuation" lives in Melbourne, but is this an australian magazine? that would be cool
