The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Tell us something about yourself!

Has just became a fan of Strawberry Shortcake Berry Bitty Adventures. And I'm damn proud of it. It's actually a good show. I've seen six to seven episodes. And I'm also a Brony as well.

I like sake.  And I am currently typing this under the influence of 600ml of sake as a personal experiment.  xD;;;;;  Man...  I can't believe I am able to type this well...  It's been two hours since I've consumed all of it though...  I think I might be sobering up.  I have not seen double yet, and if I were to let myself reach such a stage...  The stuff I would be typing now would be complete gibberish.

Is happy that no member made fun of me for liking that the show I mentioned.

Is very lazy at home sometimes. I make sure I clean but I'm to lazy to.

I had a habit of crossing over terms from the equestrian world and applying them to people. This was due to excessive research for one of my furry stories. I stopped when people were getting upset.

Unfortunately, it kind of has returned with research for the Insane Cafe Pony Arc. And this time, I stopped caring if people get upset. Mainly because it rarely happens and I don't see why we can't use the same terms that horse breeders use. I mean, reproduction and inheritance work almost the same way in all mammals.

On that note, I occasionally display equine-like behavior (weaving, stomping at flies, spooking, etc.)

Yeah. I'm a bit of a CloudCuckooLander. Deal with it.

One of my favourite ways to inspire myself to write is to pull up a text program like Microsoft Word and resolve myself to write whatever garbage comes into my head in regards to the story I can muster.  Usually by the time I get past 2 paragraphs it starts to look really good.  A day later, I read over the entire thing again, edit it using my magic senses, and then if I am satisfied I post it.

Easy as pie... the only hard part is getting people to review it so you know your story is being followed >_<

I will eventually have to get my driver's license and passport photos changed.  My driver's license photo is of me when I was eighteen, and my passport photo is from when I was twenty.  Well, not only do I look nothing like what I used to look like, but I actually look YOUNGER than in my driver's license photo :blink:.  Because of this, I have been repeatedly accused of using a fake I.D and therefore need to show two forms of I.D just to prove it's real :p.  Even my expired military I.D photo, which is of me when I was twenty-one, looks nothing like me.  In fact, somebody once accused me of using my mother's I.D when it is actually mine :blink:.  Funny how looks change over time.

BTW, I used to never get carded.  Now, I can't even buy a bottle of wine from the store I work at without a coworker checking my I.D :DD.  I'm twenty-five, but most people say I look like a teenager.  Whatever I'm doing is working in my favor ;).

For my next (and last) semester of college, in addition to four required classes for my engineering major, I'll be taking a class on the history of Vermont (I have to take five classes, and the fifth is one I have to choose from a list of classes that will be available). I'm definitely interested in learning more about the history of my home state, so I figured taking a real class on it would be better than just reading about bits and pieces on Wikipedia.

I recently tried a persimmon for the first time.  Yum!

I also like grapes.  The darker, the better :smile.

I AM A BANANA!!!!  :lol just kidding.

Believe it or not, folks, I nearly got hit by lightning once. The lightning strike barely missed me. I've been scared to death of lightning since then.  :blink:
Petra is a variant of the Greek name "Petros" meaning "strong" or "rock." Andi is a variant of the Greek name "Andy" meaning "masculine" or "brave." Therefore, I am tremendously brave and strong! :lol

-There are two common ailments I have never dealt with in my 18 years of life: strep throat and cold sores.
-I am the only one in my family who can't recreate a stereotypical Mexican accent.  :p
-My mother's half of the family are from Europe. She said that we have French, Spanish, Italian, and German descendants. I never knew!  :!
-When I was 8, I had a Jurassic Park related dream that occurred every night for 2 months. My dream was based on the book rather than the movie. I read it first. Not once did the events in the dream change.

I, too, have never dealt with strep throat or cold sores.

I think I got strep throat once as a kid, because I remember my throat hurting so much it was hard to swallow, and I had to go to the hospital. I can't STAND cold sores, I don't get them often, but if I feel one coming on I carry around a tube of blistex for like a week and attack it :p

Ugh... yeah. I get mouch ulcers a lot, usually because I accidentally bite myself when eating. I have unusually sharp canines, and they seem to be poorly positioned so that I always end up biting myself at least once every two weeks. It's really quite annoying. :p Cold sores though, I don't get as often. I used to get them alot, and I heard they can be brought on by stress, but I've been pretty stressed lately and haven't had a major one in... years now if I recall. So that's a good thing. :yes

I've also had strep throat twice. Once as a kid, and once about six years ago. It really sucks. Sore throats are the one thing I can't stand about being sick. I'll take almost any other symptom, but I hate having pain when I swallow. :p My sister almost died from it in fact, because she didn't finish her prescribed dose of anti-biotics, and it got so bad that her tonsils had to be taken out after it kept recurring over and over again.

I'm a moderate drinker.  Every Friday night or weekend I have one or two drinks.  I usually grab a glass of sake, schnapps, whiskey or Bailey's.  I hate the taste of beer regardless of brand, same with gin.
