This is cheesy, and stolen from Vivien's Tea House forums, but hey, I'm bored.
Everyone list 10 random facts or things about yourself. They can be anything, silly or serious. I'll start:

1. I adore flowers and plants. I am constantly buying house plants or flowers for myself. One day I hope to get back into floral design, it will always be one of my favorite things to do.
2. My favorite place to explore and hang out in are cemeteries. I love looking at old tombstones, checking out "haunted" places within them, and just taking photos. I feel at ease there, I love it.
3. I am not vegetarian, but I loooove fake meat. I'd rather eat a Black Bean Burger from Chili's than a real burger from anywhere.
4. I love owls. I decorate with owl themed things in my home.
5. I am scared of E.T. due to a recurring nightmare.
6. I love to read. I probably read at least a book a week.
7. Only within the past few years I have become comfortable with who I am, and how I look. Now I know I'm awesome.
8. I'm a Hanson fan.
9. I do not want to have kids, and thus I have never really found out what exactly happens during birth. I vomited when I found out you give birth to the placenta. I always thought the umbilical cord rolled back up inside the woman like a slap bracelet.
10. I collect post mortem photos.

1. I have a real fear of heights but only when it involves standing out over things without railings.
2. apparently the reason I got such a great deal on the house I own is that the previous owner died in it. I didn't find this out until somewhat recently and have lived there for 10 years
3. I keep a list of people who's graves I will piss on and/or dance on.
4. I can pick up anything technology related very very quickly and as a result get thrown at problems without any prior knowledge or skills with amazing frequency.
5. I have a hard time reading actual books so tend to only read things on the internet or comic books
6. I get an overwhelming sense of dread with I think about my own death
7. When I was 3 I hit a kid in the head with a brick for tying up my sister cementing my awesomeness for ever.
8. I really like shooting skeet and wish I lived somewhere I could do it more often and get a golden retriever to train as a hunting dog
9. I'd like to move somewhere other than the DC area but can't because the job I have is really specialized.
10. I completely lack any ability for anything creative. Can't write fiction, can't draw, can't paint, can't sculpt.

1. I worked in a fine china department in an upscale department store, and bought an Old Country Roses teacup as a joke... I now have an expansive chintzy teacup collection.

2. I did a brief stint as a life model for a local art center when I was in college

3. I can pin point to the decade almost any fashion that hit England from 17th century up (and can date a movie setting accordingly)

5: I can speak/read/write a little Japanese, though the skill is fading

6. I can look at a photo of an object and come up with a way to make said object without any tutorials etc.

7. I'm a formally trained fine artist and studied in one of England's oldest art schools.

8. I mostly dress in any decades style but none I was alive for

9. I love scones but can't bake them

10. I'm like the only person who's google searches never pull up Porn, but do find weird things like medical oddities, and collections 18th century dirty language on accident instead

1. I've dyed my hair almost every color. Here's a list: White, dark blonde, auburn, medium brown, dark brown, deep red, orange red, black, blue, purple, turquoise, green, red, pink, orange, yellow. My hair is naturally a light white blonde. I've also had my hair super long, kind of long, shoulder length, in a bob and now I have a mohawk. I'm not afraid of doing anything to my hair. I kind of want to shave it all off at some point.

2. I want to start my own magazine that would help teenagers survive their teenage years and learn about a lot of things. I also want to start a program that teaches kids about bullying and specifically cyber bullying. I want to start my own photography business too. But my dream job is National Geographic photographer.

3. If I could drop everything and move to Seattle I would in a second. I'd change my name and everything about me.

4. I used to have flings with guys all the time until I was raped and it completely changed my life and view on certain things. It didn't happen too long ago and I was deeply depressed until a couple weeks ago when I found a site called GivesMeHope.com. I'm a completely different person because of a website.

5. I have over 55 pairs of shoes. I have at least 22 pairs of Vans. The rest are heels, a few flats, slippers, a couple pairs of Converse and a pair of boots.

6. I absolutely love to work out. I used to work out everyday. I'd go to the gym and work out on the machines for a couple hours and then swim and sit in the hot tub. It was amazing. But now I have no money for the membership and it's killin my mood.

7. I want to travel the U.S. and visit a ton of haunted places with a few friends. I believe in ghosts and I watch ghost shows constantly. They fascinate me!

8. I'm only 18 but people always assume I'm a lot older and that I am older than my sister who is 22. I really wish I was actually older. I'd like to skip these young years.

9. I'm addicted to technology but half the time the people I meet on here are the only reason I make it through each day. I have a FaceBook, MySpace, Tumblr, Formspring.me, JPG Mag, Deviant Art, Flickr and forums. Tumblr has definitely been a life saver. Some of the people on there are nicer and better people than half of my friends. They're so understanding. I just wish they lived near me. Also, this forum has taught me so much.

10. I collect a lot of things. I collect shoes, shirts, SYG product, magazines, books, dvds, and Snapple caps. I also collect random items that I can make art out of. My room is completely stuffed. I even have a traffic cone in my room. Ha.

1. I'm moving to Canada next year.
2. My last show with Gyalázat is going to be tomorrow night. I'm quitting the band after growing up being a part of it, touring Europe, making new friends because of it, having our songs released, all of these things i never imagined when we started out. It's a comforting feeling.
3. I have a good job with lots of responsibility and awesome benefits that I don't really have the skills for.
4. I don't post new threads on here too much anymore eversince I'm on facebook. I seem to post stuff on there instead.
5. I spit all the time.
6. Co-worker sitting next to me has the hots for me and it's really fucking annoying. She's fully aware of me being in a serious relationship.
7. I'm colourblind, and as a result of that I own a purple sweater I have mistaken for navy blue. Also a green beanie which is grey for everybody else, and who knows what else!
8. When I go for a run I always listen to teenage bottlerocket's they came from the shadows album. Last year I took up on a habit of only listening to the Shorebirds, and only got bored of them after half a year has passed.
9. I really want to get tattooed but I can't because I have to save up money - I'm getting my thighs finished though for free.
10. When I think about my life and where i'm going with it, i can't help but consider myself a lucky bastard.

I wish I could say he was, at least then there would be a logical reason for him to come up with such a wierd name.

Yeah I know, I am a really out going person and I have no problem saying anything to anybody, but if I can't see them in person for some reason I am nervous

I hate it, you are right it does get in the way of things that I want to do or I need to do. But I recently got a job at a hotel where a part of the job is answering phones, so I am getting a little bit better because I have to, but i still don't like it.

This would make me crazy. There is a guy that works for me that's color blind and he has done accidental hilarious things before because of it.

My sister is like that too. She won't order a pizza because she she is scared. Due to text messaging, I hate being on the phone too, I'd rather text. That probably makes me a douche.

I used to be really socially awkward, but I'm a pro now. Come hang out with me and I will fix your problem!

Been there. It's awesome. :D

Okay, my turn:

1. My sister was born on my 7th birthday.
2. When I get angry or nervous, a muttled Irish accent comes out.
3. I don't make friends with females easily.
4. I used to write a 'zine called RANT! for nearly 8 years.
5. I have OCD, but not severe enough to be medicated. I just tap things and need to have items stacked a/o color-coded.
6. I was born without one of my ribs.
7. I have seen the entire series of "Gilmore Girls" three times.
8. Belly dancing and yoga are probably the only feminine activities I publicly admit to doing.
9. My fear of crossing bridges was rapidly eliminated during my summer cross-country roadtrip. Being paralized while crossing the Brooklyn Bridge is not an option!
10. Ten is my favorite number-it represents completion. It was my number 8 out of the 10 years I played softball.

texting is ridiculous and takes too much time and effort for simple conversation. If people text me i go back and forth twice before ringing them and demand we converse the matter in real time.

That said I used to be scared of the phone but that has come close to disapeering all together. I am much more positive toward using phones and actually enjoy it to a degree.

1. My parents originally wanted to call me Martin when I was born. But they changed there mind and called me Dean.

2. When I was 9, my dad tried to scare me by hiding behind a bed and jumping out. He was met by a wicked punch to the face and his 9 yeard old succesfully gave him the best black eye of his life.

3. I am a big Dragonball Z fan. So much that I wish that in real life there was actually Z warriors and that I was a Super Saiyan. Fuck yeah.

4. I think I have some mild form or selective OCD or something. I organise select things perfectly and dis organisation really aggravates me and makes me angry. If a wall power socket is left switched on but it is powering nothing, this annoys me to no end and I must put the switch to off. People at work laugh at me for this as I walk around the campus switching off sockets and they all think I am insane.

5. I used to have some sort of allergy to seeded fruits up until I was 15, but it has now disappeared.

6. I have not ate red meat for going on 2 years now. I have only eaten chicken and fish.

7. I have been in an earthquake, but I would also love to experience a hurricane and see some tornado's in Death Valley.

8. I am fascinated with everything zombie related. I am constantly assessing areas and buildings to see how suitable they would be in surviving a zombie outbreak. When I eventually get a place of my own, it will be ready and prepared for an outbreak.

9. I really want to visit Japan. I will visit it one day. The country fascinates me in so many ways.

10. My eyesight is terrible. I am meant to wear glasses all of the time except when I am sleeping. I do not do this. I only wear them when driving and when sitting at home or at the computer here at work. I hate wearing glasses.

1. I'm big Alanis Morissette fan. I just love her voice...
2. I'm afraid of water. Mainly deep water where I can't see the bottom. It is a result of an accident when I almost drowned.
3. I ain't pushing my vertical limits so I'm afraid of heights, too.
4. I'm a big Linux supporter and long-time user, yet I code for a 100% MS-oriented software company.
5. I don't respect authorities other than those I recognize as such.
6. I have abnormally high IQ, but I also have ADHD which makes the capacity unusable.
7. I grew up in classic soviet bloc projects
8. I once did few digital hardcore / breakcore tracks for fun and they ended up on vinyl and CDcomp in Asia. I was like 14.
9. I'm very shy and I dislike eating in public.
10. My English is bad, but my German is even worse. I've studied it for about 11 years and I can hardly show foreigner a way to bahnhof.

From now on you will be known as Martin. :)
You should wear your glasses more, or contacts. Not wearing them will make your eyesight worse and then zombies will be able to sneak up on you.
