Just tell us 3 generally unknown things about yourself.

Like this

1. I have had a total of 28 stitches on my head. They were from 4 different incidents, which all occured in the course of 2 1/2 months. They were smashing my head into the piano bench twice, once into my sister's dresser, and the last one was when I fell off of a playground and my glasses cut my eyebrow. I was a crazy child

2. I own a CD called 'Songs of Whales' that I got at the dollar store, and it's a full hour of, you guessed it, whales. It's rad to listen to at night.

3. My mother thinks I need a haircut.

1) Despite popular belief, I was the one who discovered that Yan really can cook

2) I once killed a man because he insisted the thumb wasn't a finger.

3) I invented the internet.

1. I had cut my thumb once in science class, the first day we were gonna dissect a frog (the lid was STUCK on the knife).

2. I rode a spooky horse through a flock of geese, and lived to tell about it afterwards.

3. I've been to Alaska, and walked on a part of Mt. Denali (after the plane flew us up there). :D

1) I was the one who sang the songs Milli Vanilli lip-synced to.

2) The play "Les Miserables" is actually an adaptation of my life.

1. I have a natural streak of white hair on the side of my head, called a 'blaze'.

2. I once took up residence with a Japanese exchange student who could speak no English, while I spoke no Japanese.

3. I studied Russian and Linear B (ancient Greek language) in college after determining "Ha, German! Like I'll ever need that!". F*ck.

Hey, that brings me to a question i wanted to ask you a long time ago. you're an english-speaking person that emigrated to a german speaking part of the world, right? did you think that german is hard to learn? because i had my problems with it. and: do you speak german accent-free? i have a "beautiful" swiss dialect.

1. I have a natural streak of white hair on the side of my head, called a 'blaze'.

I know someone with a huge patch of that on their head. Looks pretty weird. But maybe that's just because they also have a huge reddish birthmark on their face. :lol:

1. I enjoy fistfighting, even though I haven't done so in about 2 years. When someone is pissing me off, I just want to kick the sh!t out of them.. mostly those homie kids. I have a strong hatred of them.

2. The only time I'll download a CD is to see if I like it or not. If I do, then I'll buy it. I won't burn it because I like to support the bands I listen to.

3. I split my knee open as a child whilist running around in the house. It wasn't the whole knee, but it was pretty big. There was one of those big ass nails sticking out and I fell oddly on the head of it. :dead:

I'm an American stationed at a US military installation, many thanks to my husband's job. We didn't know we were being transfered here until about three months prior to the move.I'll be either back in the states or in Wales working on my degree by the end of the year, so my residence here is anything but permanent.

I struggle with German, though I've only been living here little over a year and haven't had time to seek formal education. For a tongue that's studied romantic languages (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian) and Russian, I find German a bit harsh and guttural (in the least technical sense). I stumble with it, but I have a knack for imitating accents. It comes in handy.

Sarah Brightman being my biggest inspiration...

Just reminded me of part of my 'Music And The Media' essays, I spoke about her song used in 'Brokedown Palace' and it how this is an example of a song having advantages over composed music in a film because the lyrics were fitting (I think the song was 'Silence') and she sings 'in this white wave I am drowning in this silence'

That's one random fact I guess :P

damnhooligan
02-24-2004, 12:08 PM
what's a femur?
It's a bone in the leg situated between the knee and the pelvis. It's the largest single bone in the human body, and no doubt would hurt like a muthaf***er if broken.

I'm gettin' the jibblies just thinking about a broken femur. *shiver*

Ouch... That doesn't sound like fun at all.

Three facts about me? Let's see if I can conjure some semi-interesting stuff...

1) While traveling in Oregon, my family and I got caught in a terrible lightning storm. While staying at a hotel, lightning striked a nearby street lamp, creating a nice explosion complete with sparks. First and only time I've ever seen lightning actually hit something.

2) I've been going to the dentist since I was 5, and I've never had to wear braces or use a retainer. :D

3) I attended several tapings of Jeopardy. I was even on TV for 2 seconds, which leaves me 13 seconds of fame left. :razz:

Cool! If you ever want to discuss anything, lemme know. :) You should definitely have some Plato in there at some point -- he's my favorite by far. (I wrote my senior essay on the Phaedrus.) You don't really get into the good stuff until the senior seminars -- or at least you don't get to focus on the good stuff in depth, or didn't at Yale, anyway -- but yeah, I'm always up for a discussion. Maybe I could be helpful around essay time? :wink:

The Defibrillator
02-24-2004, 08:28 PM
Yeah we're studying Plato's The Republic right now. I think we're in Book 5. My professor is giving us our first essay assignment tomorrow... :o Our whole grade in the class is based on 15% attendance/participation, 10% on in-class writings, and 75% on two essays. We don't even have any tests. Just 2 essays. Crazy eh?

Wes
02-24-2004, 08:37 PM
Not at all! Most of my courses were based on one final essay. Of course, participation could raise you from, say, a B+ on the essay to an A- in the course -- if you were one of the four or five people who dominated class discussions -- but yeah, tests and other assignments were mostly a thing of the past.

That's one of the things I liked about the major -- yeah, you can cram for a test, but the information probably won't stay with you afterwards and you may not have to really think about it. With philosophy papers, though, you really have to put some work into 'em and it's likely that you'll learn something important -- depending on your subject matter, of course -- even if you don't remember exactly what Foot had to say about this or that in Kant. But for some reason Plato stuck pretty closely to me -- even some of the arguments in the Republic, which I kinda skimped on reading during my freshman year. :) Plato's great stuff! Enjoy!

Being a college student, I can't afford to buy their CD's, so I download them.Heh, I'm glad I'm not the only person who downloads Japanese music (when I can find it on an English site, anyway... darn Japanese characters... :P ). 'Course, I can only speak a few words of the language, but in my opinion, Most Japanese music I've found is much better than alot of the pre-fab crap we get over here. *cough*Nsync*cough*JustinTimberlake*cough*BritneyS pears*cough*etc*cough* (I have no idea if Japan has pre-fab groups or not, but even if they do, they're music is still better than our pre-fabs. :lol: )

1. My passions in life are acting and film making. I made my first movie last year as a final project for my broadcasting class, and I've been in several plays at several schools, including Oliver, The Hobbit (as Gollum), Heaven Can Wait, Rapunzel, Angels In America, and I'm currently rehersing Cyrano De Bergerac.

2. I was in a pretty bad car wreck in 5th grade. Bruised me liver, I did. Good thing I don't like the taste of alcohol, innit? And probably as a result, I'm 19 and own a car, but don't yet have a license. (The car is a result because I got a fat 10 grand sometime last year from us suing the other driver's insurance company or something. And I'm working on getting comfortable with driving it, thank you)

3. Finally, and most shocking of all, I have never read an issue of Fantastic Four in my life. In fact, I haven't read any comics regularly for a while. My local shop relocated and I'm too damned lazy to bother keeping up with them if the shop ain't in walking distance. I do, however, subsribe to Wizard to keep up with what's going on, and an issue from I think October 99 is what got me so obsessed with Dr. Doom. He like took over the issue or something. He's been featured several times since, so I eventually just really started liking his omnipotence and the whole shtick they gave him.
