I was thinking of this earlier and thought I would start this topic.Tell us something about you we might not know, no not some deep dark secret like you killed someone but something you could share we may not know.
Like for example, I like writing, I have never written a book or tried to but I write songs and also am taking some creative writeing courses and would like to write Movie Scripts.

Very good thread, Javen!
I like writing too, as a matter a fact, I've written countless poems, short stories, and have several (hopefully, someday) novels in the works.

I killed someone. It all started one rainy night in September, 2001.
I found out that my wife had cheated on me with some guy earlier that week, so there I was, sitting in my car outside his house. I had been drinking, which was a bad idea, and was nervously fingering the tire iron which I had gotten out of the trunk. I had to make my decision.
I got out of the car and stood in the rain for about five minutes. The water pelting my body and soaking my clothes was purifying. It washed away all of my doubts and worries about the ramifications of the action I was about to take.
I slowly made my way up the hill toward his house, my feet treading wetly on the moistened soil. I stepped onto the patio and stopped, twisting the wet hunk of iron in my hand, feeling the deathly chill of it in my fingers. Could I really do it?
This man had taken my world from me. He violated everything I held dear, and all that was left inside me was a gaping hole, an emptiness that could never be filled. He had destroyed me. I tightened my grip on the slippery, cold metal of the instrument in my palm.
An instrument that could deal death with no remorse, no feeling, no regret. Could I become something as cold, hard and unfeeling? Could I become a tool of vengeance, as dark and souless as what was there in my hand? I was about to find out.
He was sitting with his back to me, watching TV. The object of my hatred was just sitting there, slouched in his sofa, knowing nothing of the doom that stood behind him, just outside the glass door. I watched him through the water that was streaking down the glass for at least an hour, seeing him sitting there, knowing that he had taken my love's body and mind. Taken my sanity. And he loved it.
He laughed. Something funny on TV, maybe? Possibly, but to me, there in that moment, my mind shattered beyond all recognition, he was laughing at me and my pain. There was no turning back. I raised the tire iron slowly above my head, and with one hard stroke, shattered the glass door.
I broke away the remaining glass through with my body, tearing my black vinyl raincoat. He whirled at the horrible crashing behind him and his jaw went slack. Wind and rain blew in behind me, and he saw me for what I was then.
I was no longer human. Rage pain, hatred, grief, and other deeper darker emotions had transformed me into a menacing, arhcangel of vengeance. I was hate and revenge personified.
I said nothing, simply glared at him, my eyes burning. He knew why I was there and he opened his mouth to call out, scream, shout for help, but he couldn't find the words. He lunged for the telephone, but with a swift stroke I broke his arm with the piece of steel in my hand. He fell to the floor and whimpered like a hurt puppy. In that moment I could have pittied him. But I didn't.
I brought the terrible instrument down on him, over and over, until his whimpering ceased, and he was quiet. He lay there dead, on the white carpet now soaked red. I lifted him up and carried his lifeless form out to my car, where the shower curtain that I had torn down from my bathroom in rage earlier that day waited.
I wrapped his body in the clear vinyl, and dropped it without respect into the trunk. I looked at his eyes staring at me through the translucent material. Soulless, lifeless eyes. Much like mine must have looked then, in that moment. I slammed the trunk down to break his stare. I knew what I had to do next.
I drove slowly out through the rain to the tar pits. It was there that great beasts of millions of years past had found their doom. Nothing that went into that blackness ever emerged again. Just how I could never return from the blackness that overtaken me. I turned off the engine and got out of the car, leaving it in neutral.
I pushed the car as hard as I could until it began to roll by itself down the hill, slowly at first, but then gaining speed exponentially. The windshield shattered and metal crunched as it hit the tar. There was no splash, only an awful slurping sound. I stood at the top of the hill and smiled grimly as the car sank deeper, and with a final, horrible sucking noise, it was gone.
Again, I stood in the rain. I looked down at the great black pits. As black as my soul. The car and it's wretched final occupant were consumed by the deep thick unforgiven tar, as my hatred had consumed me. I was lost in a great darkness, darker and heavier than the great black pits below me, darker than the night around me. I closed my eyes and let the rain fall on me, soaking me to the bone, cleansing me of all guilt, washing away any shred of remorse. I had done it.
The police never found who had broken into his house, they never thought to look in the tar pits for his body, and they never learned my awful secret. No one ever knew until now.
Betcha didn't know that about me, huh?
Javen

Damn, you're a good writer, Justin. Only one hole, buddy, you didn't take the lincense plate off, they can find you! (hehe).
Here's my magnum opus of poems (it's also on poetry.com):
Aftermath of the Holocaust
As I set off on my way
I remember the glory of a happy day
A day in which we all were free
To live, to love, to be let be.
No one warned me of the danger
Of just walking around; in this land, I'm a stranger
Lost, torn up, spit on, and hurt
Just walking by near Frankfurt.
Still alive, free from death
I look around for my wife, Beth.
For the last years now, my skies weren't blue
I was beaten and hated for being a Jew.
My wife was too; was she alright too?
I sit now upon an ice cold bench
Set free, scared, and left to thrive.
Hated, treated badly, yet, still alive.
I can't help but think of those who survived
Those who didn't too.
But mainly,
Why was it a crime for being a Jew?

Okay. Out with the easy stuff first. I'm (if some of you didn't know...and Keri, I would think you heard rumors in that backwater bumpkin town after I moved, but I doubt you believed them...) homosexual. Something I sort of made as a choice for my life last year. Before that, I was pretty insecure about it and almost no one knew. Moving...somehow changed that, and I'm not sure why. If you really want more info, then feel free to ask via IM or email.
Other than that, I've been writing since I was 11 years old. I've written four books, countless short stories, and even more poems. I've never had a book published because most of them were just all make believe fantasy stuff that was fan fiction deviation from video games. And I'm sure if any of you read my fanfic that I started and have been avidly posting on, you know that I've definitely had some experience.
But anyways...I'm seventeen years old and I've gone through a lot. I've never killed anyone, but I've put two people in the hospital after their attempt on my life.
Hrm...I suppose I'll put in a poem of my own now...the last one I wrote:
____________________________________________
<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%">Will you be there?</span>
As time passes, layer after layer,
When tomorrow comes…
Will you be there?
You tell me yes,
But still I wonder,
As the sky begins to thunder.
As I turn to find your piercing stare,
I begin to doubt
You even care…
But still, your lies do hold me true,
Faithfully, as always,
I am here for you…
Please don’t make me doubt or cry,
I feel lonely now,
As time does fly…
You bring me closer
Then push me away,
Whenever your heart does lead you astray…
I try so hard yet still you prove,
You have no idea
What you’ve put me through.
The night has ended,
Morning comes…
I search to find your promises rescinded.
So now that the daylight begins to show through,
I look inside myself and wonder…
Where am I?
…and where are you?
By: Brad Wilder -- September, 2002

Keri, if you didn't know about the first thing I mentioned way up there, I'm sorry for not telling you sooner. It's a lot harder to talk about this to friends that I know are so set in their religion. I'm not even sure how you'll react when/if you read that, but I hope that things won't be too much of a shock for you. Love ya.

Great stuff, guys. I like that poem about the Holocaust, Kit. That's an interesting poem, Cloud. And Justin, you should consider a career as a suspense writer or something of the sort. Very well done everyone.
I'm currently working on the film adaptation of one of my many favorite video games: Half-Life.
Just an excerpt from the script...
-------------
...Freeman boards the transit system. As he steps on he steps on the train he slips the note from the administrator back into his pocket. The tram moves with a sudden jolt, nearly knocking Freeman over.
The PA system makes its daily announcements:
Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit system. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of employees of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel. Please feel free to move about the train or simply sit back and enjoy the ride.
Freeman decides to sit down and read the local newspaper. He can't help but notice the ride is unusually bumpy today and several of the open stations are having electrical problems.
The time is 8:47 a.m. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees, with an estimated high of one hundred and five. The Black Mesa compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times.
As the train pulls out into an open area, he notices a helicopter unloading a one of his colleagues. He waves down to the man and the man waves back with a smile. The train now pulls into a darkened secured sector. The lights quickly flash on and the security gates open within seconds.
The train reaches the lower levels of the facility and things are not going quite as planned. There is a large chemical spill in Sector D. Freeman quickly stands up, but soon realizes there are several large maintenance robots working on sealing up the leak. Freeman returns to his seat, but not before noticing an odd-looking man in a black suit. Before he has anymore time to study the odd man, his train pulls away, but that doesn't stop him from glancing back.
Freeman soon relaxes, for his stop is only moments away.
Now arriving at Sector C Test Labs. Please stay inside the train until the security guard can verify you identity. Visiting NERV personnel should remain on board until arrival at Sector F Hangar. Thank you for using the Black Mesa Transit System.
Freeman waits for the security guard to unlock the train door.
Guard: Good morning, Mr. Freeman. Looks like you're running a little late. Not too good for your first day.
Freeman: Yes, well, I ran into some... trouble this morning.
Guard: Well, nothing a little of the coffee here wouldn't fix, eh, Freeman?
The guard laughs to himself and after awhile his laughter trails off.
Freeman: Quite...
Guard: Right. This way, Mr. Freeman.
The guard leads him to the large security door.
Guard: We're having some problems with the security and electrical systems today.
Freeman: I hadn't noticed.
Guard: Nothing too serious, but it's required that we take extra safety measures today.
The guard stops at the security console and turns to face Freeman.
Guard: Especially with the administrator paying us a visit.
-------------
Eh, it requires work, but not bad for a rough draft if I do say so myself.

Truthfully? I just fed off of my own emotions from losing someone really important to me. One of my best friends killed himself two days before I wrote that and the emotions I felt I used to turn into a deep, emotional poem.

Cool stuff everyone!!
Cloud, sorry to hear about your loss. I've never had anyone I know die, granted I do worry about some... high school is difficult.
Thanks again for the praise all! As I said, I needed that; I've been kind of run down lately. And excellent writing to you Cloud and B7!
Anyway, about me (BTW: This is a good thing to read if you can't sleep), I've had some health problems in the past (hydrocephalus, and ruptured intestine when I was born), but medical science has helped with those. And as some of you may have gathered in some of my posts, I'm somewhat Bipolar (which is hereditary). And for those who haven't heard of it, it's just mood swings over periods of time. And for a historical tid-bit, Ernest Hemingway was Bipolar.

Kit: I was diagnosed as Bipolar at age 13. Since then...well, I've had quite the tests run about at me and slowly learned how to control my problems with getting depressed more and more often. Or even the manic side of emotions. But I never took meds for it because of the rumors. Also, I've always believed I could handle it. Anyways, love your writing.

Some of you know I have a diabetic son. He also has celiac disease, which is a severe allergy to wheat and gluten. He has lots of food allergies, so it's very hard to feed him when he has to eat every 2 hours because of the diabetes. He'll be 12 in a couple weeks.
Also you guys are awesome writers. I have written many many stories ever since I was 6. My first Star Wars story is in the fanfic area. And most of my depressing, teenage suicide poems are online for everyone to read.
That's interesting, Vyndim. I have lived hapily avoiding my fears for many years, but lately my anxiety level has risen and all my fears are on the surface. I have never been afraid to cross a street, I do it 20 times a day, but lately I get terrified crossing it. Cars (which I hate anyway) don't care about pedestrians when they are in a hurry in the morning and they nearly hit my son and I in the crosswalk every single morning. A couple weeks ago a 13 year old girl was killed near my house trying to cross the street to catch her school bus. That is enough to make anyone panic.

Mn...Yes, I did get a little too personal in some of that I wrote, but I could have been a lot worse about it. Javen even said in his first post to the room about the topic that we didn't have to get overly personal about things, so don't worry about it. You don't have to share more than you are comfortable sharing. And if you do, it won't change the way we think of you. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
As for the death of my friend...this was about three weeks ago now and he's not the first friend I've lost. That personal stuff I probably won't go into...Seanakin was maybe the second or third person I was strong enough to tell it to because it's wrecked my life in so many ways. Love hurts really...really bad. But I'm not going to give up on it, no matter what.

You know it's strange, but I just don't find drunkeness all that appealing.
Something you might not know.. Hmm. Here's a recent one: whilst clowning around with my friend last week I managed to slash my finger open. At first I thought it was okay but then, whammo, couldn't stop the bleeding. Anyway, it's running everywhere so I think, hell, why waste it? So I started lapping at it. I liked it. I was almost sorry when they patched me up. I like the taste of my own blood.

I gotta agree with you Grim drunkness even thou halerious at times is so not appealing, particularly when people are in the 'about to pass out' state.
As for wierd things I went clubing this year and ended up with a piece of glass through my foot and seven stitches my best mate never left me that night. He held me and took care of me in the hospital. I love him so much for that and now that he has a girlfriend well I can get a little jealous. Not because I want him in that way just becoz I'm over possesive and don't want him hurt. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif

More wonderful tales of the intoxicated.
I write this at 1:24 am. My friend is lying, quite incredibly inebriated, on my other friend's bed (he won't be happy.. Actually, as a fellow drunkard, he'd probably be pleased as punch). He's there and not in his own bed because I dare not try to get him back up the stairs. You see, on his "trip" down the stairs, he managed to tear a chunk of his ear out, which will almost certainly require stitches later on, and bruise the entire side of his face. Also, he almost certainly has alcohol poisoning (wouldn't be the first time) and I've just had to turn him on his side so he wouldn't vomit all over his face and restrict his breathing.
I've decided against calling the ambulance. I don't think it's quite THAT bad, though he'll have to see someone later today, though I'll have to drive. He's going to hurt a lot, and damn straight too. I'm covered in blood and sputum, having just hopped out of a nice long shower, and had to clean the aforementioned materials from the floor (he'll have to get the worst of it out of the carpet though).
Not happy. Why oh why oh why? I should never have let him convince me he could navigate those stairs on his hands and knees. I'm such a ****ing idiot.
Sorry, I didn't mean to get too off-topic, but it was a topic-within-a-topic, sorta.
To stay on topic: I like chilli and rice sandwhiches.

He'll live. Stitches won't make a difference at this point anyway, and I have an ear to flick if he ever bugs me (which he does constantly in a most annoying fashion).
I won't touch alcohol. It tastes awful. None of the dolled up drinks do enough to mask the aftertaste of alcohol, and I just find it.. unpleasant. I'll stick with a coke, on ice.
Interesting info Vyndim. Thanks. *would love to experiment some more...*

10-20-2002, 06:55 PM
Things like that will happen to me. Sometime's things go kind of ESP-ish. I guess what Kit's thinking all the time. Especially if he asks me random questions. Once he said "Guess what Sunday was?" when I had been on a vacation the whole week, and had no idea what he was talking about. Now, I'm not religious at all, and Kit doesn't often talk about religious things to me, yet the first thing that came to my head was Palm Sunday. When I couldn't think of anything else I guessed that. Then he said "You're too good at this, how did you know?" I suppose that case is a bit exaggerated though, cause I had gone to church that Sunday, when Kit assumed I hadn't. But my sister's noticed it, too. She'll say "What am I thinking of?" And before I even ask why she wants to know I tell her the first thing that pops into my head. Usually it's right. But it never works if I realize that she's trying to test me, it has to catch me off guard. Then in science a few days ago, we have this project to do, where every group makes different parts of a cell. My teacher listed the different parts we might draw randomly, and I immediately started thinking about what my group could do when we got a certain one. I hardly realized it, but I didn't think in terms of "if" but, "when". Once I did realize what I was doing I stopped, and began to doubt myself. I didn't even have a group yet, but the next day that's what our group drew. It was weird.
I don't remember that, deary... sorry. And I usually don't talk with you about religious things, so I'm guessing I was talking about that damn mouse.
To fill the rest of you in. Two years ago on Palm Sunday (of 2000) I awoke that morning and received the upsetting news that a mouse has stolen and eaten half of my Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. The damn rodent didn't even eat the whole thing. Now, had he come up to my room and sweaked in my ear about how he wanted the candy, I would have gladly given him the piece. But no! The rodent just took it, ate half of it, and left-- didn't even cover his tracks. He mocked me! The ****ing rodent, I hope a hawk got him.
Sorry, I'm still a bit upset. Story over.

Kit !!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! hehe. We just got these peanut brittle type treats for the gerbils but they can't seem to figure out what they are. They just keep pushing em round they tank like they are little footballs. </span></span>
Haha! I can picture gerbils doing that, Nerf. I remember having gerbils once when I was very young. But now we have cats, and it just seems cruel to put gerbils in the environment.

Yes Rusty used to have cats, he lost a few gerbs that way. Although the cats never ate em, just knocked em off the table so that they died of broken legs!!!!!!

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hehe.gif
Nerf, I'm sorry to hear they died like that. (hopefully this doesn't sound cold): It kind of reminds me of Jurassic Park, Ian was my favorite character, so I just remember that. Yeah, dogs usually cooperate well with gerbils. My mom and I used to have a german sheperd with the gerbils. She was the most caring dog ever; my mom tells me the story all the time about how I once pulled out all of the dogs whiskers on one side (I was just learning to stand and before I fell, I grabbed onto her whiskers), and she didn't byte, didn't get mad, just got off the couch and walked away.

I did something really odd at work once...
This guy I didn't really get along with was back there crushing boxes with me and a couple other employees in the receiving/docking area by the cardboard baler. He (Ronnie) said something kind of mean to me and Ed whispered in my ear, "I wonder if he knows about your martial arts ability..." and I snickered and whispered back, "No, but he's going to find out in a weird way..."
I picked up a box and threw it into the air, laughing a little inwardly as Ronnie stared up at it and screamed, "What the heck are you doing?" I had just enough time to grin before jumping a little off the ground, tucking in my left knee and slinging my right leg through the air into the box, which sailed through the air and hit Ronnie right in the forehead. :eek: It was SO hilarious.

I'm sorry Aayla, I like you, but that's just not cool. Maybe this guy hurt you, but it's not right to try and get back at him like that. I suppose when you're young you don't realize how much damage you can do to someone by spreading rumors.
Listen up, kids: If someone pisses you off, the mature thing is to either try and talk to them about it, or just ignore it. You can ruin people's lives by spreading rumors about them, and it can leave lasting impressions on the person's psyche.
I don't understand why kids are so cruel, and why they do this kind of thing. You wonder if they knew the true consequences of it, would they still do it?
It's the lack of empathy. It's the true definition between adult and adolesent/child, in my oppinion.

When I was a kid I set a neighbor's car on fire.
In 7th grade my science fair exhibit got a certificate of merit from NASA.
In HS my three fun subjects were Band, German, and Latin. I made All-State Orchestra my senior year at the tuba. Got to do the doo-doo-doo-doo daaaa-ah daaaa-ah part to Mussorgsky's "Night on Bald Mountain." Also got to attend the National Latin Convention four straight years.
I read some and watch a few movies, but my primary entertainment interest is music. My MP3 file currently sits at nearly 14 gig, and only because of converting the vast majority of my stuff to the new MP3PRO format...same sound quality at half the bitrate. My files cover all sorts of areas, though from conversations with certain Senators (style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif) I get the feeling that I've just scratched the surface.

10-23-2002, 05:32 AM
You may not know:
I was born on the 27th day of the 9th month of the 1980th year. All of these figures can be divided by 9. When we do so, we get 3, 1, 220. Any significance or bearing this may have on my life escapes me. It was someone's birthdate, to be sure, but probably not of anyone we'd remember.
I am 6'3", with dark brown hair that I want to grow long but is driving me nuts. My eyes are the same colour.
I wear a dog tag around my neck that says GRIM JACKAL, my anthropmorphic alter ego.
I have pale blotches on my right hand that are the remainder of chemical burns I received when working at a leather tannery.
My only sibling is my older sister, who lost her leg to bone cancer when she was eleven. I was 5 or 6 and expected she'd return with a wooden leg nailed to her stump. I was way off.
I love classical music, and rock, and J-pop, and some techno, and other stuff that won't be confined to a category. I enjoy Gustav Holst, and Rammstein, and Nobuo Uematsu, and Linkin Park, and Queen, and Ayumi Hamasaki.
I collect plushies of tigers and lions and the like.
What I consider to be a fertile imagination today is only superceded by my imagination as a child. I like maturity, but not the picture of adulthood associated with it.
I like sci-fi and fantasy, but write fantasy over sci-fi, and prefer furries (anthropomorphs) over human characters. I can't remember the last time I fell asleep before transporting myself to those places.
If I have any reason to be here whatsoever, it is to tell my stories. I have no other uses, and I am not a social person.
I can't eat full meals, so snack randomly instead and let my metabolism handle the rest. Works surprisingly well.
I play soccer and volleyball, and have just started taking Tae Kwon Do (you're never to young, right?).
My fave authors are Matthew Reilly, Clive Cussler, and Ian Irvine. I didn't like The Lord Of The Rings as much as I thought I would...
... Though the movie blew me away.
I like Star Trek only slightly more than Star Wars, and am really looking forward to Nemesis.
I collect the graphic novels of manga artist Johji Manabe, who's stories all revolve around chicks-with-swords (of whom Karula is the finest).
I have a neice and nephew and they are both older than I am.
My shoulders are double-jointed, and I can dislocate the left one at will (it only hurts momentarily.. and then quite a lot later on).
I hurt like hell. My wisdom teeth want to come out.

More about me:
I'm bipolar (manic-depressive disorder)
I'm more attracted to males than females (Duh)
I have quite a few older friends. My oldest friend is 31.
I'm applying to Cornell but I probably won't get in.
I'm completely frustrated with my MUD building right now. I need to find a coder with -time- to help me (I have Mags and myself right now, but I work a lot and Mags is about as limited with her knowledge as I) and I need a few builders to get stuff ready for players next year.
My middle name is Scott...for whatever reason, but most people think it's "S" because that's how I sign everything...I've done it that way for years.
I was reading newspapers at age 6.
I was on my school's spellbowl team and never competed when we went to state because I missed one too many meetings. And I knew every word that my team missed because I'm really good at spelling. So we got second place and my teacher was mad because I was the top speller on the team.
I once dove off the top of a three-story house in hopes that my neck would shatter before I had a chance to feel pain, but shifted my weight a few feet from the ground and landed in a roll which only caused a few abrasions because I was scared (blah...a reason for hating martial arts...I learned to fall without getting hurt too badly)
My dad is parapolegic (usually means paralyzed from the waist down, but he's not, really...just borderline. Has to use a wheelchair or cane around)
I can speak Pig Latin fluently (no clue why I'm saying this...hehe). But I also speak Spanish and a little bit of Portuguese and Japanese.

If the internet's shown me one thing it's that people are happy to talk about their attempts at suicide. Seriously, I don't know why but my screen name attracts more people than I never hoped could feel this way. It's also a testament to how many get another chance.
I don't know you very well Cloud, but I trust you feel better these days.
More about moi:
I've visited four continents.
I was born in Nigeria.
I was delivered by a man named Doctor Kookoo. (I'm not kidding.)
In Africa we had pet antelope and a chimpanzee called Pili-Pili that drank Pepsi. (My parents were happy enough to let it share a bottle with my sis now and then.)
My father was a freelance mercenary pilot who fought in several wars in Africa, the Middle East and the Mediterranean, and had one of the hardest yet most fulfilling lives I've come across, but he doesn't really know how to be a dad. He wrote an autobiography recently. It made me sad - I realised my years with him had been little more than a remnant of his former greatness. (He's almost 50 years older than me).
I've just this instant received a poem, which touched me. People aren't supposed to care about me that much. I feel strange, but I have a smile on my face. What is this I'm feeling?

I'm 6' 7"
I wear a size 16 shoe
My father passed away when I was 9 (It was his 6th heart attack that took him).
I was reading novels at age 4.
I'm a die hard Chicago Bulls fan.
Once when I was a little too inebriated at a club he used to own where I live, former NBA player Kermit Washington drove me home (I know his son and am cool with Kermit). The bad part came when I threw up all over his BMW. He was really cool about the situation though and didn't get upset or hold a grudge at all. I still feel really bad about doing that.
I've played basketball with Damon Stoudamire and Terrell Brandon at various gyms around my community.
When I was 17 a buddy of mine was a lifeguard at a local country club and one day myself and another friend were stopping by the club to make arrangements for that nights festivities. As we were walking through the lobby I was looking back talking to my friend, who was behind me, when I bumped into someone. I turned to see a young guy about my age walking along with a few reporters asking him questions. I said "Excuse me" to which he said that it was "No problem". After he and the reporters walked off I turned again towards my friend and his jaw was nearly on the floor. I asked him what was the matter and who that was that I had happened to bump into and he responded that it was Tiger Woods. That is when I started to get into golf, which I am now completely addicted to playing.
My life really isn't so shallow as to only purtain to sports but I don't want to get into personal accomplishments or achievements. That is why I am sticking with things that are sports-related.

My name is Dorian Shawn Brookhart. I am 29 years old. I am 5'9". I am male. I have blue eyes, long wavy brown hair(about to my waist), I haved played guitar off and on from 9-18 but got serious at 18.
When I was 4, I met a girl in my apartment complex and we became best friends. She was 5. At 9 she was diagnosed with lukemia and diabetes. She lived until she was 17. She died one week before her 18th birthday. Very tragic for me, not to mention her family which was close to mine.
When I was 18 I went into the Navy. (Jedikeri, we should talk sometime) I signed up for 4 years but only served 1 1/2 because me and authority did not get along. I was kicked out for dereliction of duty and insubordination. But someone was on my side because i got an honorable discharge.
I then spent my time roaming around and getting into trouble for various reasons until I went to school in Florida for music. I learned how to record as well as mix down and studio work and live work. I helped roadie for the Vans Warped Tour 1 and also for Megadeth/Misfits tour.
I now work at a company called LaFarge Aggregates as a customer service rep and play and record music in my spare time as well as collect and love all things Star Wars.

My shoe size is 5
I had stitches left in my eye for 20 years following a botched operation when I was two. I finally had them removed two years ago.
I can throw knives (on target that is, not just as a random nutjob)
I plotted to kill my father when I was nine.
I have not spoken to my father in over four years.
I adore the actor Alan Rickman, and would marry him despite the 32 year age gap *sigh*
I can play the spoons and the violin, but not at the same time.
I studied latin at school
I have been with my boyfriend for six years.
I have a cat called banana.
and lastly.....I like beer...yay!

Woah there soldier! I come from Scotland and I don't know if I can fall in with that claim that we have the best food....in Scotland at least. As Mike Myers once said 'most scottish food is based on a dare'. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif
As for the overweight thing, I think judging by some of the sights I've seen on the streets in recent years we may very soon catch up with the American weight problem, especially if people continue with the deep fried marsbar thing!
And as for the last one..I couldn't possibly comment (as they say in political circles) style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

...and I do believe they have bacon in America style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif
Oh, yes! TONS OF BACON! And it's wonderful!
And gun-ho mad man?? Bush is one hell of a President! If Gore were there instead of Bush, I think the speeches would have been more like this after 9/11:
"Now, calm down, citizens of America. We will have a re-count of the death toll and then we'll see about war against the Taliban." Granted, I will say that Bush is no Woodrow Wilson, nor a Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he's doing a much better job than Clinton style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif !
Sorry, I'm off my soap box now.

I never voted for Bush....
I can't vote, yet... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sly.gif .... but soon!
Anyway, I didn't mean any offense to people who voted for Gore, but I really think Bush is doing the best job that he can do, he has had one hectic presidency afterall. And personally, I think he was the better choice.

My friend and I once crashed my car through the front window of a State Farm Insurance building. It was late at night, like 3-4 am, and we had been partaking. I pulled in to the parking spot to check my brake fluid and the pedal just went to the floor. We bounced over the curb and into the front glass, knocking over a desk, computer and other stuff. We then pulled out and raced home. A couple of hours later we went up there in HIS car to see what happened, no one had even found out about it yet.
The next morning, my dad, brother, and I were going somewhere and passed by the place. The windows were all boarded up and my brother says, "Woah! Look at the insurance place. I wonder what happened?" I said I had no idea.
That was about 8-9 years ago. At my wedding reception in June of this year, my best man, Jason, who was with me that night, was drunk and told Dad what happened. We all laughed about it. True story, swear to god.

I have a huge scar on my left shin that I got from running aroung the pool when I was ten, it went all the way to the bone, it bled alot, it got infected.
I cut the infected skin off with sterile medical scissors, and put neosporin over the wound, I never used bandades, it looked really nasty at first.
er my dad slit his leg open with a knife and my thum can curl into my hand

I also broke my nose when I was 15 trying to do a handplant on a skateboard. I went up the halfpipe, overbalanced and crashed on my face. I suppose you could say i pulled off a faceplant, though. To this day the nose is still broken.

I was working construction for awhile and I shot my finger with a nailgun. It went through the finger at an angle and came out the top. There is a funky scar there now and sometimes it can hurt when I play guitar too long.

I got hit with a bat that way at about 9.
You give me power, to get out of bed, when in the morning, I'm feeling dead.
Living and loving is a lot to accept, it's true. Gonna say it about you. Sorry, McCartney moment! On his latest album he's got a song called "About You" and this thread just reminded me of it :o)~
I don't have any scars or broken bones or anything... um... well, I've played the piano for 12 years and I'm one of the accompanists for the chorus at my highschool which I think is a lot of fun. There's really nothing else interesting about me, I don't think...

Ouch. I got knocked out while playing a game called Flying Dutchman...it's like duck, duck goose, only in pairs. My partner and I weren't watching where we were going, and we ran into the other pair. I ended up runing full tilt into the bigest guy on campus(he's built like a football player) and My head hit his elbow...
