My grandfather was in Calabria, Italy, during WWII.

My great-great grandfather came over to America during the Gold Rush as a prospector.

My great-grandfather on my mother's side was from Poland.

Most of my creativity flows late at night (past 2100) and while listening to metal or trance.

I always use military time.

I have cursed using the NATO phonetic alphabet.

I find it easier to write dark-themed stories at night.

I once taught a student who wrote using the Cyrillic alphabet... of course, I don't know Cyrillic, but I taught him to use our Latin Alphabet.

I was an aid for disabled students in middle and high school until I moved to Minnesota. I'm looking for a new program to join at my new school, but it seems there are no student aids for the disabled here. :blink:

I hate normal clocks.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #428 on:** June 26, 2009, 01:44:28 AM

I have a very high pain threshold and do not feel nearly as much pain from injuries as I should :blink:.

These are actually my two worst traits and ones that I want to get rid of but I seemingly can't.

1.) I am incredibly blunt. There was one case where someone in my school was really annoying me and I just outright said to his face, "You know what, I [censored] hate you."

2.) I'm not capable of being empathic.

Noname · **Reply #430 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:02:04 AM

I was told I was empathetic, but I am not sure that is totally true... I once told a teacher to choke on her own $#!+

I unintentionally pegged my second grade teacher with a pencil. That's alright, 'cuz I did not like her anyway

.

How did it happen? Somethin' in my mind told me it was play time, and I hit my pencil so it would sail through the air. Unfortunately for her, she ended up stopping right in the path of the pencil

.

I got sidetracked from writing chapter 22 of Twilight Valley...again.

I get aggravated when an author of a fanfic leaves readers at a cliffhanger and never updates again, or at least, for a very long time.

Serris · **Reply #434 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:16:00 AM

^^^

Same here.

Worst case of it happening: Land Before Time: Remnants - the sequel to one of the first LBT war fics: Land Before Time: War of the Worlds

Falcon88 stopped updating on 11-29-07, right as war is declared. Argh! That was the SINGLE. WORST. PLACE to cease updating.

Noname · **Reply #435 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:51:36 AM

I like hot dogs.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #436 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:57:35 AM

I mind my manners in public but not at home

. Who does, anyway

?

Noname · **Reply #437 on:** June 26, 2009, 02:58:32 AM

I sometimes lean back on my seat while typing... I shouldn't really do that; it is bad for the carpet... who cares?

This is a somewhat late submission to the pseudo-discussion on optimum temperatures:
Maybe it’s because I’m a native-born Minnesotan,

but I don’t mind cold weather that much (though I can’t abide temperatures lower than 10? Fahrenheit). For that matter, I'm actually not too heavily affected by high temperatures either (contrary to popular belief, it can actually get quite hot in Minnesota during the summer

:). It's high humidity that causes me problems. Provided I have a little bit of air circulation, I can tolerate 85? F or higher, but as soon as it gets humid, I become as lethargic as a three-toed sloth.

I went to both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
