5. I just BS'ed fact 4 because I didn't have anything interesting to post.

2. I am a very bad chess player.
3. I've been told that I am a quite good singer.
4. I can strum some chords, but wouldn't call myself a guitarist.
5. My favourite single malt Scotch whisky is Highland Park 18 Y.O. (at the moment).
 
1. When it comes to PC games, I prefer using a controller over the keyboard and mouse.
2. I use a "Rock Candy" branded Xbox 360 controller for the PC.

3. I still think Thief: The Dark Project from 1998 is the best computer game ever made.
4. I've never loved anybody in my entire life.
5. I have 16 3/4'' arms from weight lifting and have never been beaten in arm wrestling.:sly: :P
 
1. Playing games that I played when I was in childhood makes me get sickeningly nostalgic. It's a like a sick to the stomach feeling. I also start to feel dizzy.

2. Something funny: Some people like to look at me as a stereotypical 'black guy' when it comes to music, though I have the most bipolar music taste. At one moment, I'll be listening to some of the most ****ed up rap out there, then one moment I'll be listening to some punk, then after punk, I'll be listening to Japanese Dream-Pop.. Then it's probably old school Cold Play or some band that's been around just before the early 2000s.

3. I love cooking. Seeing the faces on the people who enjoy my food makes me feel all nice and fuzzy inside. :)

4. I put more worth towards understanding myself than I do school. I feel like learning about yourself is much more important than learning about some garbage you'll probably forget within the next few weeks of learning it.

5. Though I can get angry sometimes, I can't remember the last time I've ever been angered to the point of wanting to hurt someone. I know I've probably had times like that, but as of now, I've told myself that taking out anger on someone else is not something that a rational thinker would do. I hate seeing people hurt. Even seeing someone cry (especially people I care about) gets rid of any anger I've had and pulls all of the empathy out of me. With that, I try not to take action due to my emotions..

BONUS!

If I really like a person, I'll go out of my way to get to them or speak to them, though I must know if they enjoy my presence.

Also, I can fly to any place in the US for free. (For now)
 
1. I took 5 computer related classes in high school.

I just rode up a mountain on a bicycle and need a massage.

I live next to a centuries old temple but have never been inside.

There's a swimming pool right outside my front door. I'll be going for a dip after this post.

I love salty food. If food doesn't come with salt I usually add some.

I love spicy food. If food doesn't come spicy I usually add a load of chilli powder or (in the case of pizza) chilli oil.
 
Why the chili oil? I find that chili powder works just as good on pizza as anywhere else...but instead I usually use homegrown and dried chilies, grated of course.
 
The old woman at the Italian where I get my pizza says the oil is better than powder for some reason. I gave it a try and to be honest there's not much difference but it's become a habit now so I still do it.
 
1. I learned how to swim while staying at the Walt Disney World resort when I was a little kid.
2. I have a TI-84 Plus Calculator made by Texas Instruments. So far, I've got my moneys worth out of it.
3. I do not like cringe comedy.
4. I do not like cars that are low to the ground or have too much camber.
5. I don't like to dance.
 
1. Today I rode 1km into the sky. It was painful.

2. I don't sweep the floor because the ants clean it for me (crumbs, dead bugs...).

3. Tomorrow I'll be crossing international borders for a few choice beers.

4. I've spent the last 2 weeks building a website that goes live in September, so far I'm on the 3rd revision and I'm still not happy with it.

5. I like this thread because it allows me to talk about myself, which is one of my favourite things, because I'm selfish.
 
1. I never owned an Xbox Console, thought i did played on one of my friends Xbox 360 couple years ago.
2. I never smoked Cigarette and i doubt i'll be smoking one anytime soon.
3. One of the reasons why i named myself "Toy" on GTP is because almost all cars my family owned are Toyota's and most common cars in my country are also Toyota's.
4. GTPlanet is the only place on the internet where i admitted my Age and Nationality.
5. The only time i ever sat inside a 2 door car is my uncle's Pontiac Fiero SE.

16. If find a rock or stone that looks interesting or unique, I take it home.

17. I try to get a license plate from each state I visit. I forget sometimes, or there's no leftovers or they have to be destroyed.

18. Gummy-type foods are my favorite travel snacks, if not the least healthy.

19. I'm a hotel points and airline mileage whore. You never know if 100 bonus miles/points will get you over a threshold for free stays or plane tickets, if you travel as much as I do.

20. I'm vaguely apathetic about lots of things that used to fascinate me...and this makes me happier as I get older. I really don't care much for news, sports, politics, video games, and I never cared much for movie gossip/buzz, TV chatter, celebrity nonsense in the first place. Even most automotive media dribblings get passed over to my eyes. I think it's because we have "information overload" nowadays. But if I want/need know more about anything, I can do so. I guess I just make time for things that matter, like my family, job, and some assorted hobbies/interests...I feel what everyone else thinks should be of importance is a result of readily available instant access, not necessarily actual import in any grand scheme of things.
