10 Facts about you

[Super-Jesse]

The title says it all, just post 10 facts about yourself, and there you go! We'll all feel closer together, disturbingly close.

I'll go first, I suppose...hrm..

1) How did my Mario addiction start? At the young age of 1, I found comfort in Mario's heroism because my dad and my mom would always 'fight'. I made a post about in my myspace blog, much more detail.
2) I honestly don't know much about any other Nintendo franchise, or gaming franchise, but somehow I've managed to work with various media sites where I covered Sony and Microsoft exclusively. Anything for the virtual resume, I suppose.
3) No, I don't run around in a Mario costume all day. I do, however, wear a different Mario shirt everyday
4) The only concerts I've been to are Nintendo's Fusion Tour 2006, and when Avril Lavigne came to my city in 2004. The latter was because my then-girlfriend now-wife LOVES Avril.
5) I was on the local news for my Mario collection. It's on my youtube, along with an embarrassing "rap" I did. Watch it, and it will destroy any respect you had for me. If any :P
6) I dislike my real-life job. It's great pay and benefits, so I guess that's all that matters,
7) I once believed an April Fool's joke stating "MIYAMOTO SAYS MARIO 64 LAST MARIO GAME". :(
8) I hate that because I like Mario so much I'm expected to never lose a Mario game. I used to feel pressure when playing friends, because they'd see my room and bring their A game just to take away from my credibility. Now, I just don't care as much. Sure, I want to win, but even when I lose, I'm confident in my, erm, talent (sad word to use, i know).
9) I don't like being told I'm wrong if I'm right, and I hate being told I'm wrong when I'm wrong.
10) This list was the hardest list to compile, ever.

Okay, so, there you have it. The more honest you are, the more...read-worthy it'll be.

[BP]

3) Though right-handed, the watch goes on my right wrist. I can't put it on my left.
4) Shorts year-round.
5) Milk is my equivalent of coffee, sort of. Breakfast is extremely important and lack of milk ruins breakfast.

7) No cartilage in the tip of my left ear. You can't tell by looking, but you can feel it. It doesn't flop down or anything, it's just flexible.

10. Around the time Super Mario 64 came out I had a Mickey Mouse doll which I transformed into "Mario" by adding a doll-sized red cap, a Mr. Potato Head mustache, and an old pair of blue shorts. I used to keep that doll with me at all times.

3. I didn't learn how to ride a bike correctly until I was 9.

5. When the DS came out I claimed I'd never purchase one. Today, I have one with 9 games.
