I may post a picture of the knife later.

Here are the pictures of my prized knife:

I have a habit of randomly making chicken noises.

…And occasionally flicking my tongue in and out of my mouth like a lizard.

I like listening to death metal whenever I write fight scenes in a story or RP. It just gives me that rush

. One of my favorites while writing such scenes is Rammstein's "Du Hast"

.

^Music inspires my writing ideas as well.

Serris · **Reply #1645 on:** July 15, 2010, 01:52:37 PM

I listen to "epic" trailer music, electronic, heavy metal or hard rock when I write.

I have the most awesome umbrella imaginable; it has a handle that is that of a katana.

^Whoa! That is awesome! o.O

I like to say "liek".

I sometimes use foreign language versions of profanities. And no, I won't post 'em here for obvious reasons (underage visitors and non-English speakers

).

Same here.

I have fallen asleep in front of my computer.

Instead of swearing, I often spout nonsense words and strings of untranscribable gibberish.

Other times I use real words that aren’t swear words, like “sheep!”

Pangaea · **Reply #1651 on:** July 16, 2010, 01:22:10 AM

I seem to be prone to coincidences.

For instance, I was going to post my fact about substitute swear words even before CT and lbt/cty_lover posted theirs. :blink:

Adding on, I actually do that, to.

My alarm clock can get as loud as 113 decibels. To put that into perspective, a jackhammer is 100 decibels. That's right. My alarm clock is louder than a jackhammer.

Since I'll be going to college about a month from now for the first time, my dad bought me a new laptop for me to use while I'm there. I am currently using it right now, and I'm planning to do all of my web browsing on this laptop from now on. It has Windows 7 on it, a system that I have never used before.

Oh, nice. Same here for the college thing, except I got a desktop. By the way, where are you going again? You probably mentioned it, but I never saw the post(s).

I'm off to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in a month. I'm at the peak of excitement.

The Chronicler · **Reply #1656 on:** July 18, 2010, 06:45:27 PM

I wanted to stay local, so I'm going to Vermont Tech to study mechanical engineering. I originally wanted to go to a college that offered aerospace engineering, but there weren't any such options nearby enough to where I live.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #1657 on:** July 18, 2010, 07:00:38 PM

WAIT!! You wanted to go into aerospace engineering? That is an awesome major. Personally, I'm going for a math/physics double major with a minor in computer science.

The Chronicler · **Reply #1658 on:** July 18, 2010, 07:30:24 PM

I've always had a fascination for astronomy, and I've always been very good in my math classes, so I figured that I should find a career that combined both of them, and aerospace engineering seemed like an ideal option for me.

One benefit I see for majoring in mechanical engineering is that (I hope) it'll give me more options of which career or job I might be able to get, and let's face it, in this economy people will take a job anywhere they can get one. (After all, I've failed to get a summer job this year for the second time in a row.)

I like donuts.

I'm guessing Canada makes better donuts than I've had in Europe
