This thread is so much fun thanks everyone for contributing.
1) I decided to read as many pages of this thread as I can tonight and post my 20 when I am about to fall asleep
2) I wear red cloths at least 6 days a week most of the time a red shirt, pants and shoes
3) I used to be a serious tennis player and have owned 4 pairs of Adidas Barricade tennis shoes

7) I've never owned any Product (RED) products (and I don't have anything against them)
8) I have never dyed my hair any color and if I did, i'd dye it blue not red
9) I started doing tae kwon do when I was 4 years old and still do 11 years later
10) I have never gotten in a "real fight" or even yelled at a person for that matter (well not to make them feel bad/me being angry but I've yelled because the place is loud and they can't hear me)
11) I have been a Mac user all my life
12) I was called "iPod touch kid" in my old high school which I was at for a year because I was the first one to get an iPod touch and have a jailbroken 1.1.2

17) Despite what you might think about #15, 16 and 17, I am actually "well liked" at school

21) I get immensely bugged by people who say "[that person] is [doing something bad] like a teenager." Or "You like/listen to/do/watch/ [something]? You must be a 13 year old [or any other teen age] girl." (and I'm a boy)

1. I used to be obese.
2. I have a title (The right Hon.)
3. I am a habitual user of Xen-Tan/St. Tropez.
4. None of my friends know my real hair colour. It is infact light brown, but my hair, eyebrows and eye lashes are dyed jet black.
5. As fake as I may seem from the above, I am actually a very deep person.
6. I don't see or speak to half of my family.
7. A member of my family tried to kill me.
8. I have extremely white teeth
9. I love wearing sunglasses. Anytime of the year. As long as it is outside.
10. My favourite singer is Sarah McLachlan.

1. My male modelling career ended abruptly when I discovered that I'm not good-looking.
2. I used to feel cold, until I discovered the wonders of underpants.
3. I like to make stuff up.
4. I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood (around 99%, I'm guessing).
5. I haven't watched an Apple keynote for 3 years because I don't care. I just look at the Apple.com site later, and consider buying a new product if it looks interesting.
6. I'm 28, look 23, and act 21.
7. I respect my elders......unless those old bastards piss me off.
8. I believe that Climate Change is happening due to human activity, but I believe that all our efforts are completely pointless in terms of overall environmental impact and fossil fuels. If our society were to do something cheap and easy, like cutting meat consumption by 20%, we'd be doing more to reduce greenhouse gases than we would if overall fuel efficiency (of cars, planes, transportation) improved by the same amount. But people (like me) are far too selfish to give up a bit of the meat we eat (too much of), so we'd rather fool ourselves into thinking we're really great by purchasing fuel efficient vehicles to help the environment. Oh, and the >$200 billion that will be spent on reducing our rate of fossil fuel consumption will extend the amount of fossil fuels we have available for an additional 3-5 years. Efficient use of money and time, no?
9. I once dumped a girl because her hair smelled a bit funny.
10. On a 1st date, I once told a girl I didn't want to see her again, and then I played it off as though it didn't happen and continued talking with her for another 2 hours. One week later, we ended up living in the same flat. T'was awkward. Heh.
10. I'm really bad at counting and keeping track of many things.
12. I secretly do love clothes shopping. I particularly like shoes, although I only have 3-4 pairs (excluding formal shoes, flip flops, sandals). I used to hate clothes shopping, but now I love it, even if it's window shopping or checking stuff out on the interwebs.
13. I'm a physicist, and I'm crap at maths.
14. I'm afraid that everyone will discover my secret once I start working at a proper job --- that I'm incompetent at what I do and have relied mostly on luck, an easy-going personality, and over-smiling to get this far in my education. I really don't know anything, and haven't learnt enough for where I am right now.
16. I'm incredibly disorganized.
17. I share common interests with Sir Mix-A-Lot.
18. Star Wars sucks. Family Guy sucks. The Simpsons sucks.
19. I get really nervous and quiet around people who are like me.
20. I secretly never want to date a girl that is too hot. I'm afraid of girls who are really hot, and show interest in me. They're crazy or something.
2. I used to feel cold, until I discovered the wonders of underpants.

1. I haven't been on here in a while because... I found myself not caring.
2. Mountain biking has caused Number 1.
3. I'm forcing myself to be on MR a lot today.
4. I hate anything that has to do with coconuts.
5. I've just discovered how civil everyone is here.
6. I'm pissed because I don't have any cool new Mac stuff to show you guys.
7. I start HS in a month.
8. I'm scared.
9. Because I tend to be an ****** without thinking.
10. I have a supreme dislike for hipsters.

Ditto, it blows, I tend to be self righteous about it which is probably worse.
Guilt is for suckers
Ugh, I completely lit into this guy on another forum and he lit into me back and we started a huge flame war that covered like 75 posts about whether or not I bought my bike just to look cool.
I'm pissed because everyone sided with him so I think he won.
Damn it.
See? There I go again.
Oh dear...
- I'm an ovo-lacto-vegetarian.
- I work at a rural electric company, but my last day at work is this Friday YAY.
- I don't have a problem telling people the truth, even if it hurts.
- I despise the Oklahoma-ized phrases, "thank 'ya much" or "ya'll come back now"
- If you couldn't tell, I'm ready to move away from Oklahoma.
- I do not believe that a person is not capable of learning, or attempting to learn, new things because of age restriction.
- I came out of the closet to my mom in January, her response was "I wondered why [boyfriend's name] was always here."
- I had an abscess the size of a tennis ball removed from my leg.
- Coincidentally, I've played tennis since I was 5 years old.
- I'm considering changing my major to pre-law.
- I'm single.
- I've made some of my best friends at my current job.
- I was once mayor of my hometown for 1 day.
- I put my right hand on the face of a grill when I was 3 1/2 years old and siered my skin. Don't try that.
- I also busted my fore head open that same year running into a wall!
- The movie Mean Girls is my guilty pleasure.
- I pretty much stick to water, and GV sugar free pink lemonade (no calories!)
- I'm a third generation.
- I have two tattoos, no they are not tacky.
- Eating noises such as clacking of jaws, GULPING, smacking, and "ahhh" after drinking are REPULSIVE. Burping/belching is okay though.
90% of my first few thousand posts on this forum are *utter* flamebait.
I had a bit of a chip on my shoulder, it's hard to believe it but I have mellowed! There is a part of me that misses the *epic* flamewars I used to get myself into, I don't post as much as posts tend to just get lost in the maelstrom as the forum's grown so large so you just never seem to have such fun threads any longer.

This has to be the saddest post I've read in a long time. Even if 1. were removed.
1. I hate italian food!
2. I hate peanuts and I can't eat black olives. Other than that I'll try just about anything
3. I pick up random/expensive hobbies and never really go anywhere with them.
4. I have owned three iPods, and sold two. For some reason the two I sold were the ones I really liked (16GB touch and 4GB 2nd gen nano)
5. I am addicted to Viso (my friend tells me it's a gay boy's drink, makes sense to me)
6. Even though I'm gay I can't stand effeminate men. They annoy me more than anything else I can think of.
7. I used to be a hardcore music snob. Then I started listening to mainstream music this last year and now I have nothing I can 'one up' people about.
8. I'm 6' 1" and weigh 130lbs.
9. I haven't purchased a CD in years. iTunes owns my soul.
10. I have an obsession with cleaning my fingers and finger nails. Making my fingers raw 24/7, it's quite problem.
11. I thought I hated small dogs until my sister gave me her chihuahua. Now I know that small dogs just hate me.
12. I'm marrying my best friend when we get out of high school. (we're going to have boyfriends on the side)
13. I've bungie jumped once and that's enough for me.
14. I've jumped off a really big rock (30') into a deep into a deep river once and that's enough for me.
15. I think getting tattoos once you turn 18 is cliché and I won't do it. (I can't commit to something like that so early in life)
16. I've never had a serious boyfriend, but I have had sex. Which is a lot sadder than it sounds.
17. Modest Mouse is my favorite band ever, but I hate their last two albums. Sell outs.
18. I own every single Godzilla movie. However 90% of them are on VHS and we got rid of our VCR six years ago
19. I have very curly hair, but I get up every day at 5:30 so I can straighten it every morning. Most people think I have straight hair, they have no idea that I could have a mini afro.
20. I fall asleep driving too often. (I guess once is too often anyway)

Well did you?
Just because I buy a 9 inch travel downhill race bike and then proceed to ride it on the road doesn't mean that. It just means we have trails that aren't worth a sh*t here.
Links or they didn't happen.
A part of me loves getting into epic flamewars. Then people accuse me of being a troll, and I deny it, and then people flame me even more, and then it gets REALLY fun.
Not on this forum though. Only on other ones.
Like, once, I went on to a mountain bike forum to the 29er section (and they're elitist fanboys) and started a thread called "What's so great about 29ers?"
What's funny is that some of the mods over there were in the flame war, on my side.
I'm definitely going to start stalking you now, cause I know your full name and where you live.
Juuuust kidding...or am I?

Lol That's fine. If you want my credit cards you can have those too. I'm better off having them stolen than holding them under my spending habits.
