Post 10 Random Facts About Yourself

[robvalue]

Very interesting!

I'm trying to think of things I haven't already bleated on about endlessly. Let's see...

1) I'm almost indestructible. As a child I used to throw myself on the floor in the playground, and as an adult I do wrestling moves on myself. I never seem to get injured.

2) I love roller skating. I used to do it all the time, but now I don't have anywhere close enough that's any good. I can still do it a bit even with ME, and it's one of the few ways I can feel a sense of freedom. I want to skate again soon!

3) I've never smoked a cigarette or tried any illicit drugs. I used to drink a bit of cider, but I've never been properly drunk.

4) I've never been in a proper fight. I used to do judo as a kid and even won a small tournament, with the use of just two moves. I used to be strong for my age.

5) I'm so different to both my parents that if I didn't look eerily like my mum I'd think I was adopted.

6) I spend a lot of time living in the past, thinking of the glory days of Asheron's Call where I was a monarch with over 500 followers; Magic the Gathering tournaments, particularly crucial mistakes at later stages; having loads of people to play Street Fighter with, and so on.

7) I spend a lot of time in my own imagination, pretending I'm in an ideal world of my own design where everything is absolutely perfect for me and everyone else. I'm also frequently imagining extremely violent scenes where a ninja who may or may not be me is slicing hundreds of people into pieces.

8) I believe I'll be with my wife for the rest of my life. She gets me and loves me in a way no one else ever has, and she makes everything worthwhile. We have our own ridiculous world of nonsense ideas and language, and bond through our deep love of animals.

9) It is extremely rare that I get angry. I refuse to argue with anyone in a shouting match. I stay calm, and I refuse to continue a conversation until the other person talks sensibly. The things that do make me angry are abuse to vulnerable people and animals, and if anything would ever provoke me into violence it would be this. I still doubt I would use any more force than necessary to stop the abuse.

10) My sense of morality is of utmost importance to me. If I ever do something I know is wrong, I feel a tremendous sense of guilt. If I've wronged someone, I can't live with it and I must confess and apologise. I'm always reconsidering my morality to see if it can be improved.

I love these! You're such a great person, Rob! 

Thank you! You are too
