Title: Interesting fact(s) about you
Post by: PaperLuigi on February 15, 2009, 04:11:33 AM
Here's a topic where you can post an interesting fact about yourself. Just a little breath of fresh air to start interesting conversation.

I am related to Sir Henry Morgan (better known as Captain Morgan) the notorious Welsh privateer/pirate who made his name in the Caribbean. My great-great-great grandfather was Welsh and was distantly related to Morgan all the way back to his great-great-great uncle. The difference between me and Morgan is about 7 or 8 generations.

Evidentially, we also share the same last name, and my father shares his father's full name (Robert Morgan). No, I haven't killed 300 men in the Colon Province and I don't know a thing about pirating in general. I am not proud of what my ancestor did.

EDIT: Oh yeah, before anyone asks, I hate rum. They should've picked a different pirate as the logo/mascot, 'cause no one actually remembers him for who he was or what he did (not that what he did was worth remembering, but whatever).

EDIT2: Hm...it would appear as if I had forgotten about SJ's "10 facts about you" topic from a year or so ago. How about in this one, you must post only one interesting topic about yourself and elaborate on it. Sound fair enough?

It is a crime your CT isn't "Got a little cap'n in him".

I don't question the originality of this thread but as I already posted most of what I'd post here on the defunct "10 facts about you" thread (ah, the memories of so many members when I went back), I'll just reprint those responses with some editation:

-I have been temporarily stranded on a (technically) deserted island--twice.
-I am double-jointed and can put my leg(s) behind my head.
-I went streaking when I was six or seven through a friend's (well-attended) house.
-I accidentally broke a minor law involving butter cubes.
-I have vacationed in France, India, Africa, Canada, and England.
-I cracked my brother's head with a large plastic chair (semi-accidentally).
-I went bodysurfing in Santa Monica and lost my glasses.
-I'm pretty sure I saw a huge UFO--that, or I have hallucinated once in my life.
-I wear sandals and a coat to school virtually every day.
-Though I'm not the best, I throw discus and javelin on the track and field team.
-I may or may not be related to Charlemagne.
-A flypaper strip fell on my back from the ceiling when I was in around first grade.
-I still close my eyes in the graveyard part of The Haunted Mansion.
-Intimate teenagers disgust me.
-Boxers, not briefs.
-I had two petite mal seizures when I was about six (my brother had a grand mal and was momentarily hospitalized. Thank God for meds for the next few years afterwards!)
-I'm pretty sure I have every "standard" poster from Nintendo Power since #103 on my walls (up until the last few issues where I totally lost respect for them.)
-I know almost all the lyrics to most of my favorite songs.

- I can put one leg behind my head. (I'm not double-jointed, I just practice)
- I've lived in Washington state and have been to Seattle, even though I've lived mostly in the more eastern areas.
- I have "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Gump" CD single.
- I only have two pairs of shoes. (I've had one pair for a really long time. I think my feet have stopped growing... thankfully.)
- My birthdays now mostly consist of getting money from relatives. (I get presents less and less every year.)
- I sometimes sleep in a duplex separate from my family.
- I've been writing books since that age of six. (Only the recent ones are even close to interesting... ugh.)
- I have a bunch of Hawaiian shirts. (Including one that Weird Al wore on stage during the last tour!)
- My first SNES VC game was SMRPG (Yeah... whatever.)
- I've been planning on going on a date with a girl after school is out. (Long story. It was originally just kind of a joke, but a date came from it nonetheless.)
- I found girls from my first grade and third grade classes on Facebook. (I've been trying to arrange a way to meet them again soon.)

I'm not that interesting and as far as I know, no one has recollected a (an) (in)famous past relative of mine.

- I once got a laugh out of a crowd by driving one of those battery-powered ride-on toys backwards to avoid a worker at a fair. I think I was about four years old at the time and I was participating in a much scaled-down version of a tractor pull (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor_pulling).

- I have only purchased one game for the Xbox 360
- I run long-distance and do Triple and High Jump for my school's Track and Field team.

- I often put my hair in pigtails.
- I'm trying to learn Japanese in my spare time, with Ubisoft's help. After a few months of work, I've pretty much gotten the hiragana down. And if you sit me down with a Japanese - English dictionary, I can put together something that a Japanese person could probably figure out. Watching subbed episodes of Death Note is helping a bit too.
- I wish I had a kilt.
- I have a yellow suit.
- Every state I've ever lived in voted for Obama.
- I sometimes carry around a wind-up flashlight for fear of EMPs. I have no idea whether the wind-up flashlight would actually survive an EMP.

From what I understand, "that particular Rickroll" involves several script-related things similar to the "You Are An Idiot" thing from years ago...but still has Never Gonna Give You Up playing. I don't know for sure, since I've never seen it myself.

But if you read more than the last 3 posts, you would have known that he was asking for the link to a Rick Roll video that keeps repeating and freezes your computer so you can't get rid of it and you have to shut down your computer.

More facts!

-I have borderline chronic flatulence.
-I'm currently on a regime of sorts to try and rid myself of night terrors (I think I've had at least five in the last year).
-I'm very, very nearsighted.
-I'm lactose-intolerant (my periodic ignoring of this often goes hand-in-hand with the first fact above).
-I'm about six-feet-tall.
-I am an aspiring author and have already sent several short stories and the beginning of a book to publishers. Alas, no "yes" yet...
-I climbed to the top of an active volcano.
-As a little kid, I almost started a fire with a shoebox and an exercise bike.
-I once cut my foot with a toothpaste tube.
-For a few years, my brother and I were obsessed with filming stop-motion (most of it was pretty bad, but some was okay). As for "normal" home movies, we've got plenty of those, though they're anything but normal.
-I was forced to take anger management in third grade and grew up assuming it was my parents who put me in it (it was the school. Big overreaction, really, but I won't bore you with the story).
-When I first saw The Phantom Menace, not only did the theater have "rumble seats", but I stood up and screamed "that's what you get for messin' with the force!" when Darth Maul got killed.

I could have been born on February 29th, 1992. The doctors were like "no" and had it scheduled to February 25th instead.

-My sister was born on February 29, 1992. This is something she completely detests because people made fun of her for being only "3 years old" in school.

-I don't take "no" for an answer.
-Once stayed up late for two days straight (video games)
-I can draw.
-I can catch a thrown grape with my mouth.

The story of a poor Canadian boy, raised solely by his misunderstanding brother, and the struggle to realize his dream of hockey stardom despite rejection, discouragement and racial prejudice around every corner. This four-hour epic will chronicle the laughs, tragedies, loves and lies faced throughout bullykoopa96's inspiring life story.

Here's a few cool facts about the trip I got back from yesterday:

-We went to Marshall University in West Virginia for some sort of theatre awards type thing.
-The play I was forced to write and enter last year in my theatre class for a grade won 1st place in the novice category. I did not remember the plot, characters, or the fact that I wrote a play until they reminded me.
-Said play was a horror/drama deal about a meteor that drives an old man insane and makes him kill his guests.
-Their adaptation was a goofy comedy/horror deal done in radio format because they were too busy focusing on the other, more angsty, winning plays to set up a few boxes for a set and have the actors move around.
-There is a direct correlation between the level of angst in a play and its likelihood of winning, with the insane exeption of my play.
-At the afterparty, a 12-year-old from one of the middle schools approached my half-drunk, Rorschach t-shirt wearing, party sweat-covered, ping-pong playing self and asked me if I would go out with her. I replied that now was probably not the best time, since age gaps of more than two years in a relationship freak me out.
-Seeing people sit in one chair and text during the entirety of a party depresses me. Seeing people play board games the entire time is either more or less depressing depending on the number of players. Witnessing a one-player party-long game of Risk would probably make me kill myself.
-I thought someone had spiked my drink with alcohol until I remembered I was drinking alcohol the entire time.
-When not partying, most of me and my friends' time was spent at either Chick-Fil-A or the nearby arcade.

 My great grandfather was Bill Mullen, who played for the Saint Louis Browns (the predecessor to the Saint Louis Cardinals). His stats are pretty mediocre, but apparently he was on buddy terms with Babe Ruth, as the man looked after my Grandma on more than a few occasions.

  Also, of less interest, I'm entirely serious here when I say that the first memory of my life is sitting in front of the big Zenith TV in the living room, playing Super Mario Bros. That was 22 years ago.

I meant Djy1991, the dude who made Idiots of Garry's Mod. My bad. I forget exactly how I realized it (it wasn't his name, and he didn't out-and-out say it), but I figured it out around the sewers part of No Mercy. He was pretty cool, but didn't have a mic. And no, no info on the next IoGM.

Also, when I was about 6 or 7, I used to play video games with the controller upside-down. My dad would always turn it rightside-up (the correct way) and say "no, son. Hold it this way." ...I completely ignored him and continued holding it upside-down.
