What are you wearing today?
A suit of a wondrous new fabric that I'm told only stupid people can't see. Needless to say I can see it.

Why do people do this?
I personally think it looks cluttered whether or not they have it in their signature. If it says it anywhere else on their post, then it seems unnecessary to me.

Funniest "Quote(s)" you've ever seen!
Well, maybe if they called it the Extra Special Olympics.

Do you get judged?
Not to my knowledge; at least, no more than the next man. Maybe by chavs, as I don't wear the same clothes as them. Regardless, I don't hear about my being classified as any particular sort, and if I am, then the people are kind enough to keep it to themselves.

Chili Peppers...
This has put me in the mood for one -- even though I seem to remember I'm not fantastic at standing the heat, as it were. Maybe I'm just hungry.

How long does it usually take for you to get ready?
Now that college is finished, this is a bit obsolete, but I get up at 7 and leave the house at 5 to 8 --- and I've usually been waiting a while after finishing doing everything in the morning.

The most weirdest song you've heard
I think perhaps Machadaynu, by Tony Rudd. If you search hard enough there's sure to be a (legit) download somewhere on t'internet.

G'day all i am new.
Perhaps I am somewhat unusual in this respect, having come for the community, and stayed for the community; I once played Runescape, but stopped before ever coming to tip.it. (Hello).

Best way to learn an instrument?
I'm learning the guitar atm. I find that it helps to jump in at the deep end and try and learn something really difficult to begin with. By doing that, and have a few easier things going at the same time, I find that I notice how much I improve far more, and I don't get bored because I've still not mastered whatever it is I find hard at the time.

Why are people nicer over the internet?
I'm sure most of them are actually acting just like they do in person; I suppose it's just that it seems different when read. The more computer literate people I know all type properly -- I wonder if it's to do with how fast they type? Still, when I try and type badly it takes longer!

What are you listening to right now!?
Steve Howe's Spectrum.

Why are people nicer over the internet?
Yeah -- and for the same reason, I don't really like talking to people I know IRL on the internet. They seem different.

What's in your wallet?
Apply for a provisional drivers license? Ah yes -- I forgot about that. I meant to, at one point, but I didn't do it in time, so I used my passport; it's stayed there since.
-
What's in your wallet?
Bank statements A passport* two bank cards a blood donor card ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã0 notes Some ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâãs coins. *What with needing to look 21 to not require ID. No -- it doesn't fit properly, either.

Recommend some activities?
I suggest learning an instrument, learning to juggle, and getting more exercise (that is, unless you already do any of those). Actually, scratch that: if you already do, learn another instrument, get better at juggling, and... well, don't get too much excersise. Do something you'll be happy to be able to say you can do -- I wouldn't bother taking up a hobby that doesn't improve you somehow; otherwise you're just distracting yourself, and not getting better.

Descent
Seeing that screenshot brought back memories! Not seen that game for ages. It was good -- I don't think it would work on my computer these days, but there we go.

Don't Chew your nails (picture)
I got out of biting my nails a few years ago. I just decided that I wanted my nails to be quite long (not long long), and stopped doing it. It took me about a week, and since then, I've not gone back to doing it -- I just don't think of it.

What Time Do You...
I got to bed when I get tired; that varies, and I go through periods of going to bed at about 10, while other times I go at about 2. If I have to do anything the next day, I get up at 7. My alarm clock goes off at 7 regardless; I just go back to bed if I don't have to stay up. If I don't have anything planned for the next day, I get up whenever I can't be bothered lying down any more.

Your Favorite Drinks...?
Piping hot.

What's on your desk?
Let's see... an amp, a computer case, two monitors, a keyboard and mouse, a graphics tablet, a few CD cases, a few pens, a guitar (well, leaning into a corner of the desk made by a draw being pulled out), Unusually, that's it. I think, anyway.
-
Favourite Sauce? ^_^
It depends entirely on what I'm eating. Most sauces only really go with a few things. Perhaps overall, Mustard -- Colmans mustard, that is. That seems to go well with most things.
-
Your Favorite Drinks...?
Alcoholic: Laphroaig, and Bitter and Twisted (not just because it matches my personality). Non Alcoholic: well, water, OJ, AJ, Coke and... Oh, Fanta Fruit Twist.
-
Anyone here play D&D?
I like the idea of it. I've done it once, and it went OK. Thing is, it's hard to find a good balance of people being acceptably nerdy and people being just downright sad. I still like the ideas behind it; I just can't be bothered with all the over-the-top pretending. Just a little bit is fine, but people tend to take it too far.

What will you name your kids
Read Catch-22? In that (IIRC) there is a character whose parents called him Major Major Major -- and he's a major in the army. Major Major Major Major. I don't know what I'd call chilren. Being realistic, something which they're not going to mind when they grow up, so either something normal (as long as we like it), or something somewhat unusual, as long as it's not pretentious and silly. I have a sudden whim to call someone Cthulhu.

Is there a reason why guys can't cry?
I don't say this because I want to appear macho, or anything like that; however, I find it very hard to cry. I've felt like it, but there just aren't any tears coming out. My eyes water if I get sharp pain in my face, so it's not that there isn't the fluid to come out... I'm sure I can cry, however. I'm closer to tears when watching something emotional than when upset myself -- I can feel it. I don't regard it as a problem -- or a plus, for that matter.
