I'm gonna do a few more just because...

  1. My crush on Zooey Deschanel (hammed up for GTP, by the way) originated from someone's Facebook cover photo of her pulling many funny faces. I had spent the next few days trawling the Internet to find a name for this woman (I didn't have the option of google images, and wasn friends with said person so couldn't ask) but eventually I found it.
  2. I intend to go to university to do graphic design. Was car design but I realised pretty soon it wouldn't be like Daniel Simon's work, instead a wing mirror for a bland hatchback or something.
  3. I originally thought Daft Punk was a rock band.
  4. At one point I had a rather extensive "legend class" Transformers collection. My favourite was the TF: Energon (?) Megatron with green and purple camo.
  5. I refuse to play GTA V online after my friend stole my car when I tried to help him escape a guy trying to kill him. I then got killed. We are no longer friends.

4. I have a scar at the edge of my left eyebrow near my temple. It's from an accident when I was about 8. I was playing in the school yard in the winter. There was a patch of ice and all of us would run and slide a across it; being kids... My turn came up and I ran but stopped in the middle of it. My boots caught some snow and slowed me down. Then another kid comes barreling down and knocks me down, on accident of course.

A three inch piece of ice was sticking up from the ground and impaled my temple. Luckily though, most of it broke. However I had an eight centimeter deep gash.

I didn't know I was bleeding. I just got up to play again, when one of the kids screams and tells me I'm bleeding. Only when I touch my forehead and see blood, do I start crying :lol:

The doctor said I needed stitches. I refused and mother suggested another method. So he just gave us bandage strips and the gash soon closed on its own.

Ouch. I've had some accidents as a kid but those are nothing compared to that.
 
1. I can dislocate both my wrists. It doesn't hurt a bit, but it's creepy as hell

2. I've got two scars on my right knee. A massive one from a surgery I did last year, the other because of a stupid bicycle accident. I also have a scar inside my upper lip where I had 3 stiches. I have marks and bruises all around my body because I do plenty of outdoor stuff and I'm the clumsiest person alive.

3. I've never punched anyone, but I once made a hole through a door with one punch. I was pretty mad back then.

4. I had my first kiss at the age of 11. Not much happened since.

5. People are often surprised by the amount of times I've been abroad as a 17 year old (note: Portugal is a small country. Apart from Madeira and Azores that are two Autonomus Regions in the middle of the ocean, we prefer cars as means of transportation). My plane travel count is now: 2x Mallorca, 2x Cape Verde, 3x Dominican Republic, Sweden (actually, we landed in Copenhagen and then went to Sweden) through Zurich, London, Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam through Madrid, Marocco, Brazil, Azores and Porto Santo (although they are technically Portugal) and Fuerteventura (Canary Islands), so that totals 17 (15 without Azores and Porto Santo)

I can do any joint on my body the same way, didn't think I'd find someone who could do the same on GTP...cool.

Edit: I always love the reaction when I pop my shoulders and elbows out...
 

Here goes nothing.
  1. I'm the biggest Phoenix Suns fan I know. Which is unusual for me, because I watch no other sports.
  2. I'm allergic to antibiotics and ointment. It's a hassle sometimes...
  3. I have an extremely high pain tolerance. I had to be walked to the nurse at school because I had a huge cut on my back and it was quite noticeable on my white shirt. Never felt a thing though.
  4. I'm a little too imaginative of a person, to the point where it actually interferes with what I'm doing.
  5. I'm a big, big procrastinator.
 
  • I am currently overhauling all of my online account stuff because I'm having an OCD attack.
  • I take final exams this week.
  • I tend to think too much for both good and bad reasons.
  • I just got promoted in the GTP_WRS! I'm Division 2: Silver now.
  • I weigh 130-something and my bench press max is 140. I'm no body builder so I'm happy with it.

I rode over 1000km of rough terrain with my hip bone sticking through my waist skin without painkillers. I have to admit it is the most collectively painful (8 days of agony) experience of my life thus far.
 
I read it as bone exposed and popped out. Still I don't ride for 1000km just about 10 minutes of hell. That was the last time I cried (that was 5 years ago)

Edit: I didn't find out it was broken until I got to the hospital because it wasn't sticking out thank god

I didn't have anything broken, luckily, but at the same time I also had a badly injured knee and elbow. The Elbow hasn't properly healed yet and I have trouble straightening my arm.

My dad has a similar issue with one of his fingers. It is bent at a 45 degree angle at the lower knuckle.

Sometimes you gotta spend money to make money. The key is making sure it's worth it.

My wife is paying about as much for her Doctorate as the difference between what she made before and what she makes now. Definitely a good investment, depending on your major. 👍

My major will be Buisness Admistration. I'll just save the money and just go there or somewhere similar for graduate school

If you can get the same level and quality of education for less money, that's is absolutely the best course of action, but I wouldn't be dead set against debt. Just wait until you start looking at houses. :scared:
