I always take the center toilet, cus I know, this is where fewest people take a dump - and I apply toilet paper to the seat before...you know... - just in case

Well I must admit, I hate using public loos too, one because I have shy pee syndrome and two because, just, ugh!

Haha...yeah that last one - totally agreed^^

It's still not what he typed, I'm afraid.


I used to have a tough time using public toilets to do number 2, but I've conquered that sentiment due to natural necessity, lol. Just be sure you touch your surroundings as little as possible.

Ohh, okay, I concede defeat. Ark wins...



Hmm, when I was 5 or 6 there were these weird toilets like metal buckets with plastic bits screwed on the top, very utilitarian. Being young, I was terrified of them as they resembled an upside down dalek and I would scream and cry if someone tried to make me go in there.

When I play a game that's underwater or when someone on film is diving, I often hold my breath.

I do that too sometimes, when someone jumps into the water for instance, but it's with the mere purpose to see how long I can sustain my breath compared to them.

Although holding your breath out of water and in water is different. ^^

I can control my personality. Theoretically, I could do anything I wanted, though my original personality still tries to hold me back from doing so. It's like err, in 'Blood Beast' where Grubbs manages to hold back his inner beast. Except there's no magic or beasts or demons involved and it's about my personality (You'll know what I'm talking about if you've read The Demonata series).

I can also control my opinions. For example, my inner opinion is that I am a Christian. I feel that I am Christian. Yet I deny this, as I cannot make sense of Christianity. But I still feel religious inside. It's a strange feeling.

Thats not necessarily an unusual or uncommon thing. A lot of people change their personality publicly while not actually being different inside. A person may act confident, but inside not necessarily be so. Alot of people (if not everyone) to a degree has to hold back some part of their "inner beast"

Another random thing about me. I'm a selective neat freak, in that only certain things I feel must be tidy.

For instance, my bedroom is a complete pigsty, however if the bathroom is at all dirty or out of order, I'll have to clean it up. By dirty I mean even small smudges on the mirror, the bath mat being out of place, something not in the bathroom cabinet sitting on the sink, towels improperly put on towel rack.

Sorta same thing here... except I don't care about this room that I am in right now, but if I go somewhere else that has nothing in relation to me, I am bothered if it's untidy.

I prefer cleaning up other people's places.

One time, during a student film shoot, I cleaned and reorganized my friend's kitchen.

On the neat freak thing, Im kind of the same, my room is a mess (although I know where everything is) yet I get annoyed if things are cluttering other spaces, I just have to sort them out.

I also clean when I am annoyed by somthing.

Hah, same. I am incredibly neat, and my friend noticed that too. Everything must have it´s place.

Tyranno, there are several things about me that I have mentioned to individuals on EuroSpore and The Sporum, and their responses have beem "Really?" or "I don't believe that at all" when it comes to my personality.

- I am extremely pedantic. I REALLY REALLY REALLY struggle not to correct people.

- I am Stubborn.

- I feel I have to be right all the time.

I have no idea why on ES I have the ability to suppress so well, but perhaps it may be time - I have the time to review my reaction and decide to not post it, whereas in person my instinct is to be the above, and it does not always get stopped by my brain.

@Pat. I'm surprised you've had the will power not to correct me yet. I'm sure there are plenty of instances where you'd have struggled not to say anything

Character traits.

hmmm well Patrick you'd struggle to be around me in real life then. I generally make an idiot of myself at least once a day. I will often say something then realize mere moments later the stupidity of what I have just said.

Good example. This was a long time ago, but still its the kind of things I will normally mess up.

When I was in high school I was riding the bus one more talking to some friends about a video on you tube making American people look stupid. I said something like "Its pretty shameful that they didn't know how many side a triangle has. I mean how stupid do you have to be to not know a triangle has four sides?...... *A few seconds later"...... wait...no" *Friends burst out laughing*



I can't help it. I generally don't think before I talk and sometimes when I type, so I do quite normally come out with really unusual comments, though I do so less online unless I've just been having a bad day in terms of thought.

Indeed, Remi, and not just yourself either

However, meeting in real life for many people on ES would be less of an issue since you have seen my more positive personality traits, such as patience, compassion and calmness. If we met in real life without this prior experience it may well be a lot different - you'd probably get sick of my pedanticism well before I get sick of any of your more negative traits.

On my note, you want random?

After being suckered into the recent internet craze about this new My Little Pony series, which even grown men enjoy (And are questioning their sexuality because of it XD), I am officially a brony.

And Rebecca solidified it with a lovely piccy of Kagamine Rin and Rainbow Dash.
Pony aside, the community there is really nice, much like vocaloidotaku.

-I wear my Indy hat and rephrase some of the films lines

E.G. an apostrophe.

I'm very "good" at Math. I guess that would be random enough.

Lol that's a quiet random - random fact! xD

I'm a crazy perfectionist
- even my pencils in my pencil case must be placed in the same direction, if i'm in school and busy with something else, I cant (without notesing) begin to align random stuff after size, color or shapes. Also I use edges of the table to align my laptop after, "can't have it out of angle" lol, even my books on my table is stacked so one corner and 2 sides are aligned
Call me crazy - I do

Woit, you'd probably have a heart attack if you saw my room then its about as unorganized as it gets.

I noticed another tendency I have today. It seems just about every time I got into the kitchen, I ALWAYS look in the fridge, even if I am not planning on eating or drinking anything, I just seem to do it out of habit. I did it twice today.

@Remi: The looking-in-the-fridge thing is universal. I've got it as well.

Also, when driving I almost always have to look into every side street I drive by, even after knowing no car was coming. It's such a strange driving habit.

I do that even when I've just checked it. >__>
Like my fridge has magical restocking powers, or something. I always expect to see something good.

Whenever I'm playing a tough lick on guitar, I stick my tongue out. Not like Gene Simmons or anything, just a weird habit. My dad makes fun of me for it.
