    Just a big, messy house. :p But yeah, I'm so used to it I usually forget not everyone has that many people around them all the time. It's fun though!

    -Until I was about 20-21, I thought epic poetry was pretentious and only liked by idiots.

    -I used to be a heavy smoker, but quit going cold turkey. I found it to be honest very easy.

    -I have smoked marijuana, but I don't like it - for some reason it gives me serious gas and stomach cramps.

    -I was in my teens improperly diagnosed with bi-polar disorder. It turns out I just have clinical depression.

    -When I was a child I wanted to be an archaeologist or Indiana Jones - in my mind they were not the same thing.

    -I also am a bit of a clean freak in some respects. I must shower every day or I'm irritable and I feel weird, and I despise it when people drink milk from the bottle.

    I imagine that would drive me nuts. :p

    I prefer milk to water.
    I love ice cream.
    I have severe ADHD, but I don't let it define me.
    I look on the bright side even when I don't want to.
    It has been a year since my last heart surgery, and I'm doing okay.
    I reread books.
    Anne Shirley is my favourite character in literature.

    There is nothing on this planet that can beat a glass of cold milk. :cool:

    Depends, for me, on what I'm eating with it. Pizza? I want beer. Chocolate cake? Gotta have milk! :p

    The only thing milk is good for is cereal and making ice cream. The cow can keep the rest.

    — I got expelled (and arrested) from school in the eighth grade (over bullshit) and had to go to a behavior school for six months. Made a lot of bad friends. Had a lot of terrible experiences. But I'm thankful for it, because I don't know who I'd be today if I hadn't gone through it.

    — I started smoking at 15yo, quit at 23 (cold turkey) for two years, started up again for six months, quit again for six months, started back up again two weeks ago... lol

    — I'm pretty sure I had the new enterovirus (that hit children in the states pretty heavily last year) over two years ago.

    — I still prefer PS2 games over any new games. I play them religiously.

    — I watch the same movies and reread the same books over... and over again, to the point to where it annoys people close to me.

    — I also love tarot cards.

    Same, I just can't bring myself to eat bacon. And when I do, I nearly almost throw up.

    I was 'religiously averse' to it for the first half of my life, and now I'm permanently ruined.

    Turkey bacon's not bad though...

    Bacon is gold for your mouth. It is music for your mouth. It is even - dare I say it? - bacon for your mouth, and there is no higher praise than that. :)

    Apparently, I suffer from hypnopompic hallucinations. I didn't even know that was a thing until just now. Hypnopmpic hallucinations is when you see things upon waking from sleep. Anything. There is no limit to how fucked up the brain can be.

    Things I've seen: weird shapes floating through the darkness nearly every night, a yellow ribbon tied to my osculating fan, and a drag queen in a green sequins dress dancing like a showgirl in my parking lot...


    ..Awesome.....

    I relate to Lemex on the clean freak thing.

    However I cannot believe our Lemex once thought that way about epic poetry. Wtf man?

    And now I want to eat bacon. Is there a bacon button anywhere that spawns bacons?

    Do I know you?

    Wow, déjà vu.

    This morning there was another girl telling part of her life story that was exactly the same as mine. What a day.

    No, I'm not a girl.

    Haha, it's true. It's a sort of odd story that lead me appreciate epic poetry, but I remember distinctly that in my first two years of university I didn't care about it. I thought it was only read by pretentious people just to say they had read Homer.

    I remember in our first year we had a poetry module, and one of the assignments was to write poetry that expressed ideas of either the ballad, a sonnet sequence, or a short epic - for the epic our tutors were most interested in either blank verse or heroic couplets for the epic, but also said they'd be interested it we were going to take a crack at alliterative verse a-la stuff like Beowulf. I wrote a ballad, and don't remember if many people tried writing a short epic. We even joked we should write Homerically-long epics, turning in our assignments with a 'Thump!' of a 500 page manuscript slamming onto the submission desk.

    Dante made me see the light, and then Virgil shortly after that. Listening to The Aeneid translated by Robert Fagles while reading that translation at the same time ... what can I say? I was hooked, and I fell in love.

    Wow, really? A simple "You spelled that word wrong" would have done the trick.

    But way to be a jerk about it. :superagree:

    It's not so bad. It was terrifying at first, because I'd wake up from a really awful nightmare to see shadows dancing in the shadows... lol So I was too scared to keep my eyes open because I didn't understand what I was seeing. But I was too scared to close my eyes because my nightmare kept flashing through my head.

    It doesn't really bother me anymore. I've gotten used to it, realized it's not real, and can go back to sleep with no issue. It's actually kind of cool sometimes... lol

    Mein Grammar-Fuhrer, it would seem you're taking your role too seriously. I suggest you ease up a bit. Sincerely, Grammar Trooper #1138

    P.S. I believe I misspelled your title. Please don't be mad at me, danke. I am, of course, only a mortal human being, nothing compared to Your Holy Eminence of the Mighty Sun of Perfection.

    P.S.S. I'm trying to annoy you. Because I can. *evil laugh*

    ANYWAY! I've long since forgotten the point of this topic, but seriously, I would like some bacon now.

    I am religion averse. I don't even like to walk into churches without feeling the need to climb up a wall and hiss.

    I am weaning off meat, and haven't bought new hamburger meat for two months now. I always did like vegetables more than I did meat, so it works.

    I hate having to do things in the morning, because eff them. I'm more likely to do things in the afternoon or evening instead.

    I love making spiced pumpkin tea with milk.

    Anything else? Eh, bacon's okay, I guess.
