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. ![]() 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 ![]() 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.

30.... wow... well, I'm a little bored so will give this a go
1. Not smoked (occasional cigar) in 9 years but been chewing nicotine gum since I quit 2. I sang on TV in front of Princess Diana when I was in a cathedral choir and shook her hand after 3. I am and was then agnostic... my mum (atheist) insisted I got some knowledge of religion to make up my own mind. 4. Related to #3 I would also ring the cathedral's bells and they scared the hell out of me... was about 5 stone at the time and some of the bells went up to a ton in weight. 5. I lived in China for 4 years teaching English as a foreign language. 6. My favourite Sci-fi series is Firefly and even after all these years I still sigh over it being cancelled 7. My eyes are star burst with hazel directly around the iris and blue after that. 8. I am red/green colour blind 9. As a kid (5+) I would go on solo explorations.... and my parents would get calls when some responsible adult found me; baring in mind my dad was in the forces, the language barrier could prove an issue lol. 10. I accidently broke my cats tail when I was a toddler after my dad asked me to shut the door.... ![]() 11. I think I once saw a ghost of a cat when I was 11 on the stairs of a house we lived in that dated back to the 17th century 12. In relation to Zwangsstörung answer on peeing, I'm the opposite... had a stricture of the urethra several years back (meaning my pee was a thin stream to a trickle) so now it's fixed... I love the deep thrum off it hitting the water ![]() 13. I hate this number... one of the few superstitions I have (other is walking under street signs and ladders) 14. I am fascinated by stars... kinda sucks living in a city as the light pollution prevents me from seeing any but the brightest. 15. My mum taught me to touch type by getting a cardboard box, cutting out holes and putting it over my hands... seemed very old school but did the job. 16. Have a bachelors degree despite being told by school teachers that education was not my strength. 17. Have always preferred self taught methods to regimental ones. 18. I get disappointed when certain things I'm passionate go over the head of the people I'm talking too as they (my favourite things) are a bit obscure in their nerdiness. 19. I love the fact that Stephen King was heavily influenced by H.P Lovecraft 20. My favourite movie of all time has to be Alien... with the reason being that it was so finely crafted and timeless. To watch it, it's hard to believe that it was made in 1979 (if you ignore a couple of special effects issues... i.e. an explosion near the end). 21. I used to have to go school by getting on a hovercraft. 22. Not really phobic but have an aversion to needles... but that's because a student nurse once bent two needles in both my arms trying to draw blood and I passed out. 23. My mum taught me a mind over matter technique as a child to reduce the pain of migraines... now I get all the warning triggers and tension... but none of the pain. 24. After a big operation when I was 9, I stupidly picked at the stitches while in the bath... shouted (calmly) to my mum that I thought I had a problem... she screamed and then passed out when she saw the blood ![]() 25. I had a tendency towards doing stupid things when I was younger... though to me it was more curiosity of 'what happens if I do this?'... thankfully I was not a Darwin award. 26. Another example to this - sticking my head out of a train window after my mum told me not to (was out of her line of sight).... and simultaneously crapping myself and jumping back as a train came hurtling towards me from the other way ![]() 27. Somehow I have yet to break any bones (I don't consider ribs to count). 28. I have never had the wish to drive and as a result have kept up my love of walking and cycling. 29. To fall asleep I need to day dream. 30. I found this really hard towards the end.

1. I'm scared of earwigs
2. I have a lightning-bolt shaped scar on my wrist. It's little, and I have no idea how I got it as I always remember having it. 3. I used to think about how people would identify me if I was on a Missing Kids poster when I was a child - I decided that 5, out of my many, many freckles, would be the identifiers because they lined up in a nice row. 4. I'm somewhat hypermobile 5. I have a lot of nightmares - horror films don't come near my own creativity 6. I was pretty sure I saw the tooth fairy when I was a kid (it was a sunspot!) 7. I enjoy taking pictures of mushrooms. Not sure why. 8. I consider some books to be amongst my greatest friends 9. I hate celery. 10. I cannot hum because it tickles my lips way too much. 11. The roof of my mouth is also ticklish. 12. Animals always tend to like me even when they don't really like anyone. 13. I collect antique cameras 14. I'm currently practicing making an old lady voice for a play - this terrifies me 15. I hate shaving my legs 16. I have to count to 9 and crack eggs on 10. 17. I count stairs - but if I miscount I'm ok. 18. I've found 22 4-leaf clovers 19. And I've found 3 5-leaf clovers 20. I also found a horseshoe. 21. When I've applied for jobs, I've always ended up getting the one that I wanted the most, without hearing back about any of the others. 22. People compliment weird parts of my body - like my eyebrows, jawline, and cheekbones. 23. I love Hallowe'en, but hate dressing up and am not too fond of candy. 24. I still enjoy watching childhood cartoons 25. I haven't been "home" for Christmas in 8 years. I'm 30. 26. I love travelling. 27. I have an odd fascination with caves and absolutely love going in to them. 28. My major in university was ultimately decided by a coin-flip. 29. I'm a magnet for really creepy people. 30. The only class I ever failed was because I had just been broken up with minutes before the final exam - all I had to do was pass the exam to pass the course, but I failed as I cried the whole time. 31. I dream about my childhood cat and wake up crying. 32. I made myself a suicide-plan so elaborate that it would take months and a LOT of effort to go through with it. Go prevention! 33. I love sushi 34. I collect rocks 35. I have a tattoo from my favourite video game 36. When I panic, I take off. 37. If I could change my entire life and personality, I alternate being wishing I was someone who could perform in musicals, ballet, or being a professional photographer for National Geographic. 38. I frequently forget what I'm saying half way through a sentence because my brain is miles ahead of my mouth (which I consciously slow down) 39. I really love red pandas. 40. I surprised myself by enjoying haggis. 41. I'm not very tall but due to that, I don't pay attention to "low" warning signs and have smacked my forehead plenty of times. 42. I spent my 30th birthday in a dark cave. 43. I learned that vinegar takes the heat and swelling out of sunburn after burning my shoulders so bad as a kid that I couldn't move my arms more than about an inch. 44. I am an atheist. 45. I can MC a school-wide (I'm a teacher) talent show, but having people sing me happy birthday horrifies me. 46. One of my biggest accomplishments was being able to go and get a pedicure for myself. I nearly cried due to stress the entire time, but I made it. 47. I love being near the water - just to see and hear it makes me happy. 48. I often read a book from start to finish with only basic needs in between. 49. I am more likely to cry while watching cartoons than sad movies, because I'm not expecting the cartoon to make me cry. 50. When helping people prepare meals, I always somehow get assigned grating cheese. I've never yet cut myself, and I enjoy it - why does everyone else hate grating cheese?

This made me laugh out loud! No offense...sorry.

1. My favorit color is purple. Pink is next up.
2 Favorite food is lamb. 3. I smoked from ages 13-33 4. lost my virginity at age 13 from the neighbor 5. Got drunk for the first time at 13 6. My first suicidal thought was at age 4 1/2 7. I would lay for hours channeling negative bad things to happen to a specific person who made me feel bad at that time. It always worked too. 8. I was pretty sure I was an empath until....even up until a year ago. My therapist took away that super power. 9. I constantly daydream that I have amazing abilities, save the day or someone specific, and everyone wants me around. I escape constantly into fantasy world. 10. I wanted to be a veterinarian as a child. 11. I always wish I was a shape shifter. Who needs the powers of flight or invisibility if you can morph into any animal or creature at will. 12. I love the smell of fresh cut grass. 13. I hug trees 14. I want the apocolypse to happen now. 15. I feel I am always one step away from snapping, going postal and losing my freaking mind. 16. When I saw my first black person I was mad because I always had to bath and they didn't. I thought they were dirty! 17. Clutter triggers me into a flashback. I go into a rage. 18. I do not believe I will ever make anything out of my life and I will kill myself in a bad moment. 19. I love sci-fi movies and hate watching sappy chick flicks or comedies. 20. I pretend to like what others like to fit in the group or to gain the trust from someone. 21. I do not feel love and can not feel love back. 22. I always climbed trees as a kid. I was a tom boy. 23. Impossible for me to put on a poker face. If I hate you, think you are an idiot, pissed at you, hopeless or depressed it is all over my face. I always always would get in trouble at all jobs because of it. The next person who tells me to smile will lose teeth. 24. I never will go back out and get a 9-5 style job. I just can't go back to that drudge. I rather be homeless on the streets. 25. I worry about how I am going to look dead and what the person doing the autopsy is judging my body. 26. Sever acne started at age 12 and finally after I started a birth control at age 33 did it go away. My sister called me pizza face, I could never look at people, walked with my head down, became agoraphobic because I did not want anyone to see me. My mother said it was because I was dirty. It destroyed what little self esteem I ever had. 27. We had siamese fighting fish in fish bowls. I would climb on a stool, reach in and squeeze them to death. Do not know why. 28. I hate playing video games so I don't. 29. Sunflowers are my favorite flower 30. I wish I was never born.

1) I accidentally set myself on fire when I was 6.
2) My dad gave me a shot of rye (whiskey) to help with the pain from the above. 3) I thought adults were stupid and childish. 4) I broke my first bone when I was 5 (little finger). 5) I am very handsome with blue eyes (so I've been told). 6) I have no eyebrows and never had them. 7) I use my computer 8 -16 hours/day. 8) Both my parents died while I was holding them. 9) I chain-smoke. 10) I build extremely beautiful wire trees with wires about the thickness of a human hair. 11) I have had 3 NDEs (Near Death Experiences). 12) I have gone camping in the forest with NO supplies or tent. 13) I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers. 14) I am a recluse, I only talk to my wife. I never answer the phone. 15) I have a Bsc. in Computer Information Services, which I have never used for anything. 16) I can divide any number by 5 instantly. 17) I love the deep forest, wild animals and waterfalls. 18) I am the the nicest person you could ever meet but also very strange at the same time. 19) I often think monsters are trying to get me (trying new meds to stop this). 20) I once had 5 girlfriends at the same time. They all found out and have not talked to me since. 21) I constantly wish that everyone in the world would suddenly start loving each other, or at the least respecting each other. 22) I am a firm believer in Zeitgeist and The Venus Project. 23) I am only expected to live another year or so. Somehow this is strangely calming. 24) I wish I had a million dollars to leave my wife when I die. 25) I was a real daredevil most of my life and would try ANYTHING. 26) I have never spent more than 1 year with another person except 11 years with my current wife. 27) I am short for a man - 5' 6". 28) I hate how much T&A and violence is on TV these days. 29) I have brain damage from drinking and drugs. It sucks because I always like learning something new. 30) It was very interesting compiling this list and it made me think about my life a lot more than I ever have. |

Kewl thread. I've enjoyed reading about everyone else. I discovered I have some things in common with others. I too loved the comment about throwing dead birds in the air. I would've done it too if I thought of it. I would've tried to make them come back to life.
OK, here's my list 1. I'm a critter person. Have 5 cats, two horses and a dog. 2. I was born and raised in the city and hated it. 3. goes with #2 I now live w-a-y out in the boonies. 4. I'm an introvert, but have a "people job." 5. Favorite color is blue. 6. I remember past lives. 7. Went back to college and earned a Master's degree in my 40's. 8. People tend to think I'm 20 years younger than I really am. ![]() 9. I don;'t like to make waves, but will vehemently stand up for what I believe in. 10. My brother's been dead for over 40 years and I still miss him. 11. I'm tolerant up to a point, but there is a line and don't like it when people cross it. 12. People think I'm blonde because my hair naturally bleaches in the sun. I'm actually a red head. 13. I am not superstitious about this number. 14. I have a spot about three inches in diameter on the back of my left thigh with no pigment. 15. I was a professional horseperson for most of my adult life, but am absolutely horrible at all other sports! ![]() 16. My favorite car is a pick up truck! 17. There is a sticker on my pick-up that says "Silly boys, trucks are for girls!" 18. My first car had push buttons on the dash for the gears instead of a shift lever. 19. My sense of humor can be wicked and desert dry. 20. I love to read. If it has words in a row on it, I'll read it. 21. goes with #20 read cereal boxes at breakfast as a kid. 22. I cut my own hair and get compliments on it. 23. My toes are long and agile. I can pick things up with them. 24. Others mentioned broken bones... lemme see... lost count of broken nose at 9, all the ribs on my left side, left collarbone, big toe on each foot more times than I can remember, little bones in my foot twice 25. First time I broke my nose was when the TV fell over on me. 26. Favorite clothes are jeans and t-shirts. 27. I'm on the "see food" diet. I see food and I eat it. ![]() 28. I wear glasses. 29. Each of my ears has three piercings. 30. I love the outdoors. Boy howdy! This was tough! |

So I am told mental illness is not genetic or has anything. I can see exactly what happened to him. The pull to just "let go" and not deal with responsibilities, and life , go live homeless, is strong. I just don't wont to be a functioning person anymore. It is a daily struggle.

I can't think of 30 off the top of my head right now that I'm ready to share, so I might not post all 30 at once.
1: I love seafood. 2: I get full faster when I eat now than I did through a lot of my childhood. 3: Most things in my room are brown or pink, or both. 4: I wish my skin were a different color. 5: I care too much about what most other people think of me.

7: I've had the same cell phone for over a year. 8: My legs are the least sensitive to the cold, of all parts of my body. 9: I feel lots of nostalgia on a daily basis. 10: I don't particularly like flowers.

I feel like I need to do more, this is even more fascinating that I was expecting. There's something quite... I'm not sure of the word... about reading completely random things about someone. Like they are learning about themself as they write it almost. Maybe that sounds weird.

Evening, you are right I said things my list that may have never come up in other PC discussions.
I don't know if the lists are important items or just the first ones that came to mind, or is there any difference? |

I just came up with anything I could think of. Being 30 it made me have to really stop and think more obscurely, not just 'this is my favourite colour'. But I was thinking 50 initially, it seems lucky I didn't now! You're welcome everyone.
