So lately I've seen a lot of ladies post a few facts about them and figured I might give it a whack myself. It's always nice to learn new things about new (and old) people and this gives me a chance to type out a few quick lines and feel like I've actually done something productive on this rainy day.
1. I'm practically obsessed with tabletop games, most noticeably Magic: The Gathering, though I've only played in 3 public events to date. Amongst my friends, I'm the one to go to if you want a party game, and There's nothing I love more than hunting down a new title to get into. Unfortunately this does lead to problems. As I am the only one with the active interest in finding new games to introduce to the gang, I tend to want to try games that my friends just don't want to learn for the occasional game night (such as Battlestar Gallactica, which is a brilliant concept, but a punishing set of rules) and I need to settle for the lighter and slightly less fulfilling game sin my library.
2. I'm not allergic to anything currently in circulation, though when I was young, I had a violent reaction to a soda that I cannot find anymore. It had candies in it, and when you opened it for the first time they would start to dissolve into the soda. The doctors think something in the candy cause the reaction, but to this day we have no idea what it is. On a related note, the only time I've ever lied about having an allergy was to Tim Hortons (the "national" coffee chain) so that they would stop putting egg in my BLTs.
3. I have read The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings 8 times. My fastest read of it was 12 hours straight from 10AM to 10PM with only a 15 minute break to eat. I did literally nothing else all day. Didn't even put on pants.
4. The first video game I ever played (besides tapping the buttons stupidly as a child playing Sonic 2 with my dad) was Chameleon Twist on the Nintendo 64. Turok: seeds of evil was my second. My favorite game is Borderlands 2
5. I have a condition called post nasal drip that causes me to just about all my waking life, and the medication to treat it didn't work on me, and I can be the most annoying person to be around for some people.
6. My poison is Scotch
7. I am currently planning my third tattoo which will go on my left arm. I'm currently looking for a\ tattoo artist to design a tribute to all things geeky.
8. One of my favorite books to read was Falling Sideway by Tom Holt.
9. I have a horrendously morbid curiosity into how people are behind closed doors. Are they strange? What's the weirdest thing they've done? Are they kinky? I have this huge desire to know everyone's deepest secrets.
10. My biggest turn ons are eyes (Bright shiny eyes), smile, and tattoos. Interesting tattoos.
