30? Dang... OK, here goes!

1. I love Pringles, especially salt a vinegar, but for some reason, if I eat enough of them, it does something weird to my mouth; it almost makes the skin more rough.

2. I'm a trekkie. I've loved Star Trek since I was a kid. My dad 'n' I used to always sit and watch Star Trek together. I'm currently Star Trek - Voyager; it's not my favorite but it's certainly one of them. I love the movies, too. The only Star Trek I cannot stand, is the really old one; the original.

3. I keep a £10 Scottish note in my wallet and I shan't spend it until I'm next in Scotland and able to replace it; it's a reminder of who I am, as if I really need to be reminded. xD

4. I've always wanted to learn a martial art. Social anxiety and stuff keeps from aiming for that. Also, I guess lack of faith/confidence in myself. I wish I had a holodeck like in Star Trek, so I could programme a personal trainer to teach me something... kickboxing would be awesome. I wonder how much personal trainers cost, these days.

5. I love black and red, especially on a woman; yum!

6. I would love to be abducted by aliens and safely taken to other worlds, shown new and wonderful things of which man could only ever dream. I sometimes look up at the night sky and wish someone--something--could take me away; a better place. Is that wrong?

7. I have grown up rarely feeling as though I belong anywhere. I think the only place I felt a strong sense of belonging was perhaps when I visited my home town in Scotland for a couple of weeks.

8. The first thing I started learning on the guitar, some 11 years ago, was the classic riff typically found in Status Quo songs.

9. Being a Community Liaison here on PC makes me feel like I contribute to something; I like I matter; as though I make a difference, however small and insignificant that may be.

10. I have an appointment with my support worker soon, actually, in just under 2 hours.

11. I once flushed a bunch of eggs down the toilet, when I was a toddler.

12. I'm going slightly crazy being single, but at the same time, I'm too afraid to do anything about it. Getting close to someone like that again scares me; at the same time, I miss it; I miss feeling the sense of "belonging", as in, with someone.

13. I drink around 2 litres of water a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. I also don't use glasses because I feel they are never clean enough; it's one of the ways the "germaphobia" side of my OCD takes hold. I always use bottles, and I always have to give them a rinse before refilling.

14. Ever since I was a kid, I've always thought that the last bit of liquid left in a container is partly spit; this is why I don't ever drink the rest, and find it gross when people do.

15. The game Silent Hill, for the PlayStation (original) was so scary for me, as a child, that it gave me nightmares. I ended up playing it again, later on in life, and fell in love with it.

16. The movie Mirrors has a part in it that repulsed and freaked me out so much that I couldn't look at it; it haunted me for ages, until I finally decided what I had to do. I put the movie on and forced myself to stare at the screen, watching every.. single.. detail of the gruesome scene; it worked; it was horrible, but it somehow helped.

17. I drink black tea, to save buying milk; I hated it, initially, but I think it's growing on me; an acquired taste, perhaps.

18. I used to write poetry; a lot of it was very wordy, to a fault; I look back now and wonder what the hell I was raving about. Still, my later poems weren't too bad.

19. My dad 'n' I once sat in the car together, outside out old home, and refused to go inside until we had remembered the name, "Nicholas Cage", whom we love, because he's an awesome actor (in our opinion ) with some amazing movies. It took us something like 20 minutes to remember.

20. Part of me actually enjoys cleaning and tidying, nowadays. I get a little excited doing using the washing machine; perhaps because it makes me feel more independent.

21. When I go for a piss, I avoid peeing on the water because ... I actually don't know why! I don't like people hearing what's going on in the toilet; strange, right? It's a bit like the blonde woman from Scrubs. xD

22. I used to have a really bad phobia of ants; it took years to get over it. I also developed paranoia and likely even hallucinations of wasps/bees, during a very bad period of sleep deprivation. I developed another paranoia that took many years to get over, and to this day, at 28 years old, it's still there at the back of my mind, occasionally making me feel uncomfortable. Sleep deprivation; I'd never have thought it could do damage like that.; perhaps the OCD exasperated and perpetuated it.

23. I have problems with cars; I get "car sickness". The smell of cars makes me feel nauseous, as well. Warm leather... ergh. I think it has something to do with my traveling in a car a lot when I was a baby. (traveling from Scotland to England for 14 hours)

24. I once went to Spain and got really ill from the heat and likely dehydration; my mother, from what I remember, did nothing except get annoyed at my complaining. The nausea and headache were so bad that I really struggled to sleep; I probably had that problem for most of the time I was there. Not very clever of her, eh? Spain is a hot country, especially compared to England, and she had me traipsing around under the sun for what seemed like hours on end.

25. I love sitting in my garden and playing the guitar; I like the idea that other people can hear and are enjoying the music. I've actually had positive comments from neighbours before, about my playing. xD

26. My computer has 10-14 USB ports, and most are in use. I have an external HDD, my webcam, my wireless, my mixer, my USB keyboard, my USB mouse, and if I had it with me, my wired 360 controller. I also occasionally use a port for tethering my phone to the PC, and for small USB drives, such as "pendrives".

27. I think I'm planning to be an IT Technician. I'm currently working on getting a decent English GCSE, then perhaps will move on to a level 2, and will likely grab a course on computer maintenance and repair through which I should breeze.

28. I started off learning Japanese; actually, I was doing Japanese when I first came to PC, but eventually stopped and later became interested in German; that interested developed into a hobby, and now somewhat of a passion, ... or obsession, depending on how you look at it.

29. I was about 22 before I kissed a woman, properly, on the lips. OCD and anxiety have made intimacy incredibly difficult, but the older I get, the more I can cope with it, provided the woman is patient and understanding. There was a point in my younger years, when I would hate to be even hugged; I guess it's no wonder my mother suspected I had autism.

30. I have a tendency of feeling guilty for no real reason.
