I really enjoy reading these posts :D

1/ I'm born and bred Londoner and will turn 37 on April 30th - Hitler's death.

2/ I've worked in the film / tv industry for approximately 14 years as a freelance Director of Photography and Director.

3/ My music tastes are varied: Jane's Addiction, Gil-Scott Heron, Gary Numan, Blackstreet, Labi Siffre, Velvet underground, David Byrne, The Cure, House music, Trance, Led Zeppelin, George Benson, Porno for Pryros, Lady Gaga, Muse, Black Sabbath, MGMT, NIN, the list goes on.

4/ I collect toys and records and anything related to Astroboy and the silent movie star Harold Lloyd.

5/ I'm skilled in using double and single nunchaku and find this practice meditational.

6/ I'm currently designing the new website for the 90's band Republica - who have re-recorded their hit 'Ready to Go' for release this summer.

7/ My three best friends have between them Agoraphobia, Schizophrenia and Bi-polar disorder - so any one day can be a strange surreal adventure when we meet. I think of us as like a group of f**ked up super heroes.

8/ I like shopping at midnight at the 24hr supermarket. I prefer sell service machines.

9/ I would like to re-locate my wife and I to Squamish Canada and live a more outdoor lifestyle and snowboarding.

10/ Being diagnosed with AS has been a blessing and a demolition ball to the head. Everyday is an AS day - and now I realise it always has been. But I'm proud of being me.

1) I am deathly afraid of heights (in fact, looking up at or walking near a tall building almost has the same nauseating effect on me), however I have went skydiving once.

2) I love high heels, but I don't wear them. I consider myself fairly girly, but I prefer comfort over beauty in this situation.

3) I had my appendix removed when I was 13 years old. Contrary to popular belief, they don't tend to give you your removed organs in a little jar!

4) I had terrible Obsessive Compulsive Disorder when I was young (washed my hands constantly, repeated everything I said under my breath, had to do everything an even number of times, etc, however I was somehow able to get myself "out" of it. I still tend to count things (steps I take, number of stairs), but it is so much better now.

5) I make up songs about almost everything. I think it is an inherited trait and I believe I have passed it down to my son. I'm so proud!

6) I love black clothing. Shirts and tops particularly. Not because I'm sad, dark or depressed, but because I like how I look in black (people in Oklahoma don't seem to understand that, but take a trip to the Inland Empire in So Cal and it's the norm).

7) I got my Blood Elf Huntress to a Level 40 in World of Warcraft, but I havent played since then. I vowed I would never play that game because it seems to consume people, but my boyfriend is a computer nerd and got me to play. I have to admit, it is fun.

8) I can honestly say that my son is my favorite person in the world and I would rather hang out with him that anyone else. He drives me crazy a lot of the time, but he's still my favorite.

9) I have one tattoo. It's pretty big and is right below the base of my neck between my shoulder blades. It's pretty!

10) I'm a bit of a hyperchondriac. I think it's because I watch too many medical and informational programs. I don't think that I am always sick and I don't get sick often, but when I do, I assume the worst. Thankfully I have people who try to bring me back down to earth at those times.

1. I'm an eliminative materialist - I suspect that propositional attitudes (beliefs, desires, fears, hopes), pains, sensations, emotions, and the other states which consitute commonsense psychology, probably don't exist.

4. I really, really, really want to have sex with somebody.

Don't these cancel out? If emotions (and thus desires) don't actually exist, you can't really want to have sex with someone, can you?

1 - I have a tendency toward pedantry - not uncommon here, of course. :)

2 - My favorite band is Rush, which led to confusion for a Limbaugh fan when I responded to his "Rush Is Right" T-shirt by discussing the songs "Beneath, Between & Behind" and "A Farewell To Kings", and how prescient they were about the second Bush administration.

3 - My favorite video game currently is Mass Effect 2, but I recently became a fan of Rock Band 2 as well.

4 - I have two bands in Rock Band 2 - An Infinite Number of Monkeys, and Autistic Rage. The members of Autistic Rage are named Leo, Hans, Lorna, and Temple. Nobody online ever gets it.

5 - There is a database online with facial codes for your Shepard in Mass Effect 2. On my last playthrough, in which I went consistently Paragon, my Shepard looked like Barack Obama. On the current playthrough, where my responses still tend toward Paragon but include a fair bit of Renegade, he looks like Vin Diesel.

6 - I have been functionally unemployed since January of 2006; however, since my cohusband is in the Army, and our wife is legally married to him, the Army's Exceptional Family Member Program is willing to pay me for 32 hours a month of "respite care" for taking care of our autistic daughter. This may increase soon, if our son is diagnosed with ADHD (as seems probable at the moment).

7 - I met both of my wives by way of computers; the first, which turned out to be a bad mistake, was on a group of BBSes in Omaha, NE, back in the late Eighties. The second was in an AOL chat room in 1997 - that one turned out a lot better. :)

8 - I enjoy having a bedroom to myself, complete with antiquated video-game systems (an XBox and a GameCube). I want to add a PS2 to this, and (if I can find one) a Dreamcast.

9 - My very first D&D character, a ranger created for a solo campaign, was named Klaiton Moor. I had to explain this to several people.

10 - In college, one of my friends had a radio show, which was "broadcast" only on cable. Since his show was on Saturday nights, nobody ever listened to it, so another friend and I helped him out. I created "Light News - now 99% truth-free, and still no saccharine, caffeine, or artificial ingredients! Never had it, never will!" I was also the voice of newscaster Lesley Dangerouser - the other friend provided the voice of co-anchor Barely Reasonable, and his girlfriend voiced correspondent Ivory Towers.

1. My name is David. I prefer most people to just call me Dave though. However I do like it when females I fancy call me by my proper name.

2. I can be bribed with pizza.

3. I usually don't misspell things, but I do have a problem of leaving out words sometimes.

4. I have an adverse reaction to ginger root.

5. I don't like coffee.

6. I suffer from migraines and IBS. Most of the time I'm pretty good.

7. Romantic thoughts when meeting a new lady always cross my mind.

8. I call recall the sensations of having my teeth shattered and removed(wisdom teeth removal) and having my eyeball cut open(laser eye surgery) and regard them as very interesting experiences to have gone through in life.

9. I had a love interest from middle school that lasted nearly seven years and took me a thousand miles to resolve.

10. I dislike any insect I find in my accommodations. They will become instant target practice for my knife skills which are quite good. However I don't share these feelings for spiders. Strange?

1. I'm developing a special interest in photography, and hope to one day buy a big ol' camera with all the fancy lenses and stuff. I sometimes post some pictures on the blog linked in my signature.

2. I refuse to laugh at jokes that aren't funny. I don't humor people, either.

3. My favorite soda is Diet Dr. Pepper. No, I am not on a diet. And regular Dr. Pepper leaves a bad aftertaste.

4. Sometimes my fiance and I will stay up late late late at night just talking about black holes.

5. My absolute favorite fabric is Modal, and my wedding dress is being made completely from modal! It's sooo soft!

6. I hate to expose my shoulders, cleavage, or any leg above the knees. I usually dress very modestly.

7. I get a large Double Fudge Cookie Dough Blizzard with extra fudge and extra cookie dough from Dairy Queen AT LEAST twice a week. It's sooo nummy.

8. I hate most wedding traditions (like father walking bride down the aisle, bouquet/garter toss, father/daughter dance), so we're deliberately cutting many traditional elements from our wedding and totally doing it the way WE want, rather than the way "it's always been done." Needless to say, I don't look at any wedding advice from theknot.com.

9. I've worked at a thrift store for over three years.

10. I always correct people if they say something about me that is incorrect. I expect people to correct me if I say things that are incorrect about them. I believe it's only courteous.

1. I am an exhibitionistic introvert.

2. I sang my first lead opera role when I was 17.

3. I once rattled a picture window with a burp. Unladylike, yes, but impressive nonetheless.

4. I still don’t know how to talk to boys.

5. Only I know the real meaning of ‘tinyfishycot’.

6. I'm straight, but I would do Nigella Lawson in a heartbeat.

7. It takes a lot to deeply offend me, but if you cross that line you will know it. Lucky for some people that I have really bad aim.

8. My first word was when I was nine months old.

9. I love British comedy, doing Sudoku in bed, and, as I’ve recently discovered, comic books.

10. The most meaningful compliment I have ever gotten was that I have an unshakable faith in the goodness of people.

1. My father calls me Doc.

2. My first language was spanish because my mom raised me and She's from PR.

3. My little brother is Chinese as he was adopted from Taiwan.

4. My best friend is Romanian.

5. I have an extreme fascination with the sea.

6. I am a Star Wars fanboy. I walk around in a Jedi tunic a lot(I'm actually typing in my jedi tunic right now, lol). I read the books and comics. I frequently practice with an orange lightsaber at 11 o' clock at night in my cul de sac. Yeah, just to give you an idea.

7. Anime Cosplayers scare me. Specifically, fat boys/girls with colorful spiky wigs often cosplaying as a character of the opposite gender.

8. I have a phobia of balloons.

9. I have only mild Asperger's Syndrome and I often surprise strangers who I'm conversing with when I mention I have it. I do get nervous in crowds though, and won't talk. For instance, I wandered around at a large Star Wars fan gathering two weeks ago for three hours, only talking two or three times and very briefly.

10. I love dogs and am second in command of the dog pack my five dogs have formed in my household. They hold my mother in high reverence as she used to be a vet and seems to have a way with dogs.

Sweet, me too. :D Well not really the book part because I don't read very fast and I don't find all SW books interesting, especially some of the old ones that add nothing significant to the universe.

1. My name is Ben.

2. I really am not a parakeet.

3. I'm the one on the left in my avatar. The beautiful woman in the pink sweater is my fiancee Jacklyn.

4. I have worked for Wal-Mart and haven't gotten over it yet; I want to see them go bankrupt eventually.

5. When I was a kid I used to play Super Mario Brothers 1 & 2 with my dad.

6. My dad died of lung cancer when I was 13 and then my mom started looking for a boyfriend the next month and found my stepdad 3 months later.

7. I kept myself from going insane during this time by playing computer and console games, such as OO7 GoldenEye and C&C Red Alert: The Aftermath.

8. I have been homeschooled for most of my life and my favorite subjects at high school level were Geometry and Chemistry.

9. I have worked at a variety of places and have found that a lot of managers are equal to ketchup in intelligence even if they are good at manipulating.

10. My fiancee and I are getting married in about 16 days.

1. I am named after my grandmother. I hate my name.

2. I was mainstreamed for my whole schooling years. Back in my day, there was only one type of special education, that was for those who are mentally challenged. Even though I was largely non-verbal before third grade they knew I wasn't mentally challenged so they kept me main streamed.

3. I only spoke to my sister and grandfather up to the third grade.

4. I have 2 siblings. My sister is a drug addict and my brother has a mail order bride. Them and my folks live over a 1000 miles away, in different directions, and I like it that way.

5. I am right-handed.

6. I broke my jaw on a jungle gym in first grade. I didn't cry. Refused to communicate with others, except for my sister and grandfather. Communication included crying.

7. I have been to 43 of the fifty states and 6 foreign countries..

8. I had a boston accent as a child, even though I had never been to boston before the age of 16.

9. Mowie Trojie po polsku. (I speak a little polish.)

10. I pierced my own ears in math class in high school when I was 15.
