backupdump002The first player of this game starts with the '6 weird things/habits about yourself' and people who get tagged need to write a blog of their 6 weird habits/things as well and state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose the 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. I always have my hands in my pockets if I'm standing. ALWAYS. If I'm wearing pants without pockets and don't have a coat or anything, then I can actually feel kind of uncomfortable.
On a slightly related note, whenever I'm talking to someone and I feel awkward or embarrassed or nervous or some other emotion along those lines, I rub the back of my neck and shift my weight, maybe take a few uncommitted steps to the side before turning back to the person I'm talking with. I also run my hand through my hair a lot when I'm stressed. Can you tell I think body language is interesting
2. So everyone has a role model or some kind of inspiration, right? Someone loves a certain musician and finds their lyrics empowering, someone read a book with a strong message that rang true to them, someone had a coach that encouraged them to do their best, whatever.
Me? I find my confidence in humor. If I'm feeling awful about my life then all it takes is some good stand-up for me to smile and realize things aren't so bad. Hearing other people--usually people who had it worse than me--talking about how bizarre their life was and putting a comedic, light-hearted spin on it honestly gives me more strength than all the hugs and "there there's" in the world. It helps me take a step back--stop handling everything with such grave seriousness, become less wrapped up in my own problems, see things the way they are--and laugh. It helps me take punches and handle problems and still be able to bounce back with a grin and a clear head. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for my sense of humor.
3. I used to like Barbies when I was a little kid, but I liked them for entirely different reasons than everyone else. Instead of dressing them up all pretty or whatever, I'd come up with murder mysteries surrounding them and make them have karate fights over who got Barbie's Dream Car, or I'd have the huge Godzilla figure I had eat them. I got that one Barbie fashion game thing for the PC and I used to try to make my Barbie as HIDEOUS AS POSSIBLE and lol at how ridiculous she looked.
... come to think of it, I did that sort of thing a lot. I remember playing Pet Shop for the PC and I'd feed the animals food pellets over and over to see if they eventually exploded. I was so disappointed when I realized they could eat endlessly. :<
COME TO THINK OF IT I was disappointed by a lot of kid stuff in general because it wasn't ~*dramatic and conflicting*~ enough for my tastes. Seriously though he broke a vase and he spends the whole episode whining about it and everything's okay in the end what kind of pansy crap is that man where's the bloodshed
4. I hate the word "snark." It's annoying.
5. It's easier for me to curse offline than on. I guess it's because what you say on the Internet is open for anyone to read and you also can't really use your tone of voice to show when you're joking, so I'm more worried about offending someone or coming off as angry. Which isn't to say that I never curse online, obviously, but
6. I don't understand how people can be like OMG I WANT TO BE A BNF SO BADLY because having that many people know about you and talk to you and talk about you and judge you and link your things everywhere sounds terrifying to me. D: If I ever became ~*Internet famous*~ it would be completely by accident, and on the off chance that my stupid rambling did manage to get me a ton of lurkers or something then I'd probably wind up going partially friends only out of stage fright.
On a related note, I'm such an Internet hermit. I never post my stuff anywhere or anything; crossposting to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
screencappery is probably the most I've done. I tend to just stick to my own little corner of the Internet and let other people come to me, if they want. I don't have any real reason for it, either, other than feeling like I don't have anything good to show and shyness. That's not the best attitude to have, though, so I've been planning to fix that and start showing more people my artwork and everything. :D I just need to actually draw things, first...
Continuing off #6 on the meme, I'm kinda-sorta considering reviving my dA account. I'd still post most of my stuff here, but I'd put finished things on there. 'Just to have another place to show things and meet people, you know? I can't decide, though. I am so fickle about online art sites agh
No More Heroes rules and everyone should play it. Wish and I rented it and played it nonstop for several hours, slept, got up, and played some more. I think we logged 12+ hours? GOD IT'S SO MUCH FUN THOUGH i need to buy it
Bad Girl has the best boss music ever.
It's so frustrating to feel so strongly about the election only to be one year short of being able to vote.
... especially since there's apparently free food from various places going around to everyone who shows up with their "I Voted" sticker. MAAAAAAAN

Date: 2008-11-04 07:44 am (UTC)Only my dA account is called "angelpudding". Kinda weird. >_>
no subject
Date: 2008-11-04 04:56 pm (UTC)I hate everything on my DA account. I'd post new stuff on it, but I don't really do any 'serious' drawings and it wouldn't feel right to put my good sketches on it, even though that's all that's on there now anyway.
That's it, I'm getting No More Heroes. The reviews for it aren't the best ever, but all my gamerpals are going on about it and it's super cheap so WHY NOT.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-04 07:14 pm (UTC)Yeah, I know, that was part of the reason I left. And I never finish anything, so these same old crappy drawings would sit there for several months at a time, gradually making me more and more embarrassed. MAYBE IT'D BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME, THOUGH?
ISN'T THAT INTRO THE BEST THING EVER I WAS LOVESTRUCK LIKE HALFWAY THROUGH THAT
I feel bad for the people in Europe and Japan, though :O Apparently they got these censored versions where all the enemies explode into ash instead of fountains of blood. THE VIOLENCE IS PART OF THE FUN, COME ONNNN
no subject
Date: 2008-11-04 07:24 pm (UTC)Maaan all my europe gamers stuff I keep an eye on are complaining about that. At least it means I'll be able to play it without family complaints, not that they complained about my MGS killing sprees. I'm old enough now, I should be getting more violent games!
no subject
Date: 2008-11-04 07:36 pm (UTC)It's great fun, though! 8D Just kind of awkward around family.
no subject
Date: 2008-11-04 07:41 pm (UTC)Well, I've had family-awkward games before. Like in Bully, where I made out with everything make-outable for health boosts. OM NOM NOM SLUUURP MMMM OH JIMMY MMMMMMMM oh hi grandma

Date: 2008-11-05 12:39 am (UTC)dfkjghd yeah, the fact that the state I'm from is apparently one of (the?) biggest McCain supporters in the country just gets me riled up even more. BUT I'M TRYING TO KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE
