Post a random fact about yourself.

[Winter Star12]

I'm obsessed with Monster by Dodie. Such a catchy song.

[Gunther]

I prefer Monster by Skillet. Also a catchy song.

My first phone was the best one Alltel had. This was ten or twelve years ago and it had blue tooth connectivity and decent channels like Comedy Central and ESPN. It also had the keyboard you see on phones today, very easy to use. It was called a KRZR. That was when I was 20.

I haven't had a phone in eleven years now. When I'm activating accounts or doing this or that I use my mom's cell phone. Yeah, that's right. My 50 year old mother is more used to them than her son is.

EDIT: I would like a Blackberry for the hell of it.

I've practiced choke holds to effectively take someone out. With that said, I've been on the receiving end of it as well and it is the most disorienting first few seconds when you're coming to. Initially when I first felt the pressure, I became light-headed and then I got a bit cocky like, "nah he can't do-" and next thing I know I was trying to figure out what had happened.

I prefer Monster by Skillet. Also a catchy song.

@Gunther

Another good song. I like a lot of Skillet's music. My first Skillet song was Rise.

[Carlyle]

I haven't really listened to Skillet since their heyday back when I was still in junior high.

[Chuuya]

I haven't touched a skillet since high school.

Speaking of heated metal, I can indeed claim witness to the reality that it is possible to inadvertently weld a barrel to a receiver assembly.

Speaking of hot metal, this is one of my favorite pictures of James Hetfield:

It feels like I've been having a new health problem every week. First I started having a hard time breathing, then it felt like my resting heart rate was too fast, and now both my ears feel weird. I think something is inflamed, but whether it's from allergies or an infection is beyond me right now. Send help.

[Xandrya]

I was planning on going to the beach this weekend with my little umbrella and catch some rays outside but now we have a tropical storm heading straight for us.

[Vampiretwilight]

I like the band skillet.
I have a few favorite songs by them.

[Xandrya]

I eat slow. Multiple complaints have been made by family, friends, and exes alike. I can't help it that I'm usually the last one to finish her dinner. 🤷

[Gunther]

Unlike @Xandrya, I eat quite fast. It is a quality I acquired in the Army. In some schools, you chew and screw. If you want to eat, do it quickly.

[Xandrya]

I lived @Gunther's life for two months when I was given roughly 10 minutes to eat. But aside from the occasional rush here and there, I never had to finish my food that rapidly after the fact.

In 2007 at the ripe age of 20 I was distracted by the Olympics on TV and I accidentally allowed a Spanish lime to get lodged in my throat and I nearly died. Like, it was extremely close as according to my mother and aunt I was turning blue. Luckily I managed to swallow it down after a big gulp. My family would have witnessed my death as they didn't think to perform the heimlich but instead watched me struggle to catch my breath.

So yes, ever since I've made sure to chew my food and I'm extra careful with those damn seeds.

[Truant]

I believe I have a case of (mild) psychogenic dysphagia. I have no idea if it was triggered by some bad experience, but back when I was a kid there was a time when all I could bring myself to eat was stew and soup (any soft food, basically). To this day, I have to eat slow and have a really hard time with pills no matter how small they are.

It says “Impressive Wingspan: What I Look For In A Man.” On the front and on the back it says “Wingspan, If You Know What I Mean.”

@LittleMouse

My good friend has one with demon wings on it! Love it!
She got a magnet for my conservative mom reading: "jesus had two dads, and he turned out alright."

[artifeximpar]

I have synesthesia.
Not only do days of the week have personalities and color themes, but numbers do too. Music makes me see vivid colors and images, while smells link emotions and sound super strongly.

I eat slow. Multiple complaints have been made by family, friends, and exes alike. I can't help it that I'm usually the last one to finish her dinner. 🤷

@Xandrya

I eat slow as well. I've gotten the same complaints. Father was military though so I can eat faster ^{(and a mother who made sure the plate was clean enough to put back).}

[Vampiretwilight]

I eat fast or slow depending on if I like the food, or if I am hungry or not.
