How'd you call 'em a douche bag if you weren't already pulled over?

Well, he and another were pulling over somebody else on a highway. I had recently obtained a speeding ticket, so I (along with a freind) decided to be cool and piss em off. I ended up having 4 cops surrounding me at a Wal-Mart parking lot, asking me if I've ever been in jail. They let me go in the end. So the moral of the story is...

The recent revival of this thread gave me cause to go back and take a look at my own '20 things' list – and I realised that it was nearly two years old! Blimey!

I've been having a think over the past few days, and as today is the two-year anniversary of my list I thought it would be a fine opportunity to update it with a further 10 more random things you may not have known about me...

  1. I'm a compulsive note-taker.
  2. I only own two pairs of shoes.
  3. I was once chatted up by a reality-TV star.
  4. My favourite swearword is ********. ;)
  5. I get very annoyed with people who use multiple exclamation marks. No need for it, in my opinion.
  6. In my last list I mentioned that I share my birthday with Osama bin Laden – I also share it with Sharon Stone, Eva Herzigova, Chuck Norris, Prince Edward and the footballers Samuel Eto'o and Chris Sutton.
  7. Despite my love of football (that's soccer for all you USAians ;)), in the whole of my life I've only actually taken part in one competitive match.
  8. In said match, I managed to score an injury time winner with a deft header. Unfortunately, it was into my own net. :eek:
  9. According to this website, out of 60-odd million other UKers only one other person has the same name as me.
  10. There's a little Jaffa on his way at the end of April. :)
 
7. Despite being clever, i am bad at putting effort into things i don't enjoy, so i never do well in school.
10. I am 16.


12. Graffitti and Street Art are my favourite forms of art.
19. I have never started a thread on a forum.

7 & 10 -- so, you gonna get through school? Do you never do well to the point of failing, or just not as well as you'd hope? Pass your classes, for god's sake.

12 & 19 -- Neither a Street Art nor a Graffitti thread here yet, so far as I know. ;)
 
15. I also hate Ken Livingston and Bill O' Reilly (Racist Wanker)

I love watching Bill. Gran and I watch him on Fox News over here in Australia. He makes some very good points
 
1. I like taking pictures when people don't know I am; or not posed.
2. I absolutely love ketchup and I use a ton of it with things like french fries.
3. I can ski well.
4. I swim 5 out of the 7 days in a week for at least 2 hours a day on a competitive team.
5. I have a 99.3% average in school.
6. I usually think well, but when I write lists like these, I go kind of blank.
7. Until 5th grade, I was obsessed with neopets.com.
8. I actually regret buying an iMac; I think I should have gotten a Macbook.
9. I've played piano since I was 5 and I asked for a grand piano for my birthday. I got a tiny keyboard at 6, but now I play quite well on my upright piano.
10. I can't stand rap music and all of this 'flying high' crap.
11. I really enjoy tennis but I'm not great.
12. I just realized that I may have posted on this thread before.
13. I'm really shy around groups of people I don't know.
14. I am horrible at drawing the Apple logo.
15. Bad habit... I eat when I'm bored.
16. I can't stand milk or cheese.
17. I procrastinate way too much. However, I concentrate best when I'm stressed for time. (For example, I start a project at 10 p.m. that is due the next day.)
18. I freak out about getting bad grades in school. I get a sick feeling when I (rarely) get something like an 80.
19. I kind of miss being a little kid.
20. I like languages and I am pretty fluent in Spanish.
 
1. I've just watched Chicago for the 10th time, and it's t3h b3s7 m00v33 3v4r! Well, IMO at least :). My other favourites are American Beauty, Stranger than Fiction, Fight Club and (don't be surprised) Monsters, Inc.
2. My taste in music is so varied, my iTunes top 25 playlist would be published in the press. No, I'm not posting it :).
3. I hate where I was born - Romania.
4. I passed the Mensa Int'l test, but I absolutely, positively hate Math.
5. I won the equivalent of 10,000 euro in the lottery.
6. I was in a car accident 4 years ago. Everyone suffered fractured bones, the driver was almost disfigured, but I got away with some mere liver damage. Not one scratch. Always wear your seatbelts, kids.
7. I'm gay.
8. I've had depression and social anxiety for quite some time. Throw in a horrible bout of PTSD in there as well. I attribute those to 3. (see above).
9. I've been misdiagosed with leukemia... twice. And epilepsy. Again, see 3. above.
10. (related to 8 and 9) I've researched the stuff so extensively, every doctor I talk to has a big surprise on the first appointment. I've grown to like the subject very much. I did all this so I'll always know the pros and cons of everything that's prescribed to me, and know what to expect. But I don't have the habit of interrupting and trying to influence the doctor's choice.
11. Whenever I get the chance, my sleep schedule becomes so variable, night&day just doesn't matter anymore. Following a 'standard' sleep schedule makes me totally dysfunctional.
12. I'm not religious.
13. I love my iBook.
14. I'll probably scan & check this post 3 times before I post it just to make sure nothing I wrote is prone to misinterpretation. Maybe I'll still have to edit it afterwards. After all...
15. English is not my native language.
 
1. I've just watched Chicago for the 10th time, and it's t3h b3s7 m00v33 3v4r! Well, IMO at least .
You aren't the only one. Look at this post in one of our "Predict The Oscars" threads!

5. I'm a member of Mensa Int'l, but I absolutely, positively hate Math.
How interesting. I guess being very intelligent doesn't necessarily mean you like that subject.

6. I won the equivalent of 10,000 euro in the lottery.
7. I was in a car accident a little more than 2 years ago. Everyone suffered fractured bones, the driver was almost disfigured, but I got away with some mere liver damage. Not one scratch. Always wear your seatbelts, kids.
You've had both better than average luck and worse than average luck. Have you see the Lost TV show? One of the stories is about the character named Hurley, who won the lottery and then had a string of bad luck. I hope your name isn't Hurley!

I figured I'm not alone in this. :D
Cheers, Ani!

How interesting. I guess being very intelligent doesn't necessarily mean you like that subject.
Oh, I'm no good at it either :). Maybe it's because of the dysfunctional educational system based on memorization (or students favoring the teachers/principal to get good grades), maybe it's something else. I could be a natural, bigtime flop at Math as well. In regard to the system, there's a lot more to it, but I won't bore you with the details :).

You've had both better than average luck and worse than average luck. Have you see the Lost TV show? One of the stories is about the character named Hurley, who won the lottery and then had a string of bad luck. I hope your name isn't Hurley!
Sure, I've seen seasons 1 and 2 of Lost. The third hasn't started airing here :(. Good thing my name isn't Hurley, and I haven't started hallucinating. If the first one were true, the second one might just be possible. I'm prone to weird coincidences like that :). I'm in a state wherein nothing surprises me anymore.

And btw, congratulations, Doc, for your prediction of the Oscars :)
 
7 & 10 -- so, you gonna get through school? Do you never do well to the point of failing, or just not as well as you'd hope? Pass your classes, for god's sake.
I had a test done today, but it turns out i have Dyspraxia, which means i am slow at doing stuff like writing and thinking, despite my intelligence being in the top 5% of the population, so i have a bit of an excuse. :p Also, my school is a bit s**t.

12 & 19 -- Neither a Street Art nor a Graffitti thread here yet, so far as I know. ;)
Well, even though i like it, i don't know that much about it.

I hate watching Bill. Gran and I never watch him on Fox News over here in Australia. He doesn't make very good points.
I completely agree :p . And he also seems to think that rappers (mainly Ludacris & Snoop Dogg) are the root of all evil, which is a big fat lie.
 
I doubt anyone can share a birthday with Chuck Norris, Jaffa Cake. But maybe he'd share his with you. For more dumb jokes like this, see the latest Chuck Norris joke thread.

Your shift key thanks you for the beating it hasn't had to take.

10. i don't go to the doctor for anything...unless i'm very ill. i ride most everything out.
Men tend to do that much more than women. It's a hard habit to break, but if you go to at least an annual checkup, you might like hearing "you're fine".

15. i want very badly to have children, but i am not ready and fear i never will be.
I don't think anybody should have children if they aren't prepared for the commitment, but I also know that nobody is ever 100% prepared when they DO have children.

19. i'm so proud of my brother that it makes me want to cry.
Be sure to tell him!

This is often true of me when it comes to posting. I type at least 2 or 3 posts per day that I don't submit, usually due to frustration when I can't think of how I want to phrase something...

...I almost didn't post this for just that reason.

I read it. :p
 
...20. On average I think 1 person will read this.
An average of 1?

I hate maths and statistics, if the average is 1 and the world population is ~6,500,000,000 does that mean ~3,250,000,000 will NOT read it and ~3,250,000,001 WILL read it? We're gonna need a bigger server!
