Gonna give this one a try...


1) I'm single
2) I'm currently studying Philosophy
3) I'm a music nut. I usually listen to a lot of rock and metal, but I'm open to a lot of different styles.
4) I'd love to learn to play an instrument (probably either guitar or bass), I just never really had the time or money
5) I've never had a serious/long lasting relationship, I'm not the type for short lasting flings or one-night stands or anything
6) I tend to be lazy when it concerns schoolwork, I really need to give myself a swift kick in the behind to get started
7) Once I get started on something I tend to be at it for hours and finish it in one or two days
8) I do believe there's something more out there, but I don't follow a specific religion
9) I used to have rabbits and hamsters as pets, but once all of them passed on I decided agains getting new pets because I knew I wouldn't have enough time to spend with them and give them the attention they need and deserve
10) I'm a hopeless romantic
11) Favorite color would be blue, followed by black (assuming you consider it a color...)
12) I like to spend a lot of time with my friends, I'm a pretty social person
13) I'm also very shy
14) I used to be very self-conscious
15) Once I get more spare time I want to lose some weight in get in better shape
16) D&D 3.5 was my first table-top RPG
17) My favorite animal is probably the (brown/grizzly) bear
18) I don't really play any computer games
19) I like watching movies
20) I used to visit a psychiatrist quite regularly for my depression among other things, recently things have been going reasonably well, allowing me to cut the visits to about 3-4 times a year tops
21) I tend to have a crush every now and then, but I don't really fall in love that often, only once or twice in my 22-year lifespan
22) I'm heterosexual
23) I'm afraid of heights
24) I hate the fact we get way too little good TV shows around here (hell, they never aired Firefly :P)
25) Eberron is my favorite D&D setting

I did this on facebook too actually...let me find it....BAM!


1. I can play the piano, and am learning the guitar.

2. My favorite food is cheese. Seriously.

3. I am a NERD!

4. I've had very few relationships last longer than a couple of weeks (not including my online relationship phase). This is because I have a tendency to jump into them.

5. I used to have an online blog, but it caused a big drama fest so is gone forever.

6. I'm a published author.

7. I enjoy jazz.

8. I'm such an English 'Nazi' that I even text using proper spelling, capitalization, and punctuation unless I'm really tired.

9. My favorite animal is the badger.

10. I hate beer.

11. I hate it that so many people have the wrong opinion of me. I'm neither a smooth suave seducer of women, nor am I a sex-crazed perverted user of women.

12. I became a member of MENSA at the age of 16.

13. I have a habit of not eating lunch because I can't decide what to make.

14. I didn't get my drivers license until late last year.

15. And now I'm trying to find an affordable car.

16. Because I have passed on a six-speed standard little convertible.

17. I have an irrational fear of being slapped by women. I've been slapped, it's not that horrible.

18. One time I got slapped and she broke my glasses.

19. I'm supposed to wear glasses, but I can pass a driving vision exam without them so I don't.

20. I'm physiologically defective in a lot of ways. Eyes are more sensitive to light than normal, I give off more body heat than normal so my core temperature is off, I have minor scoliosis, and my teeth are angled in such a way that there is not enough room in my mouth for my tongue and so I bite it every now and then when eating.

21. I have a long tongue, I can lick my nose.

22. I can't whistle. No, seriously, I can't.

23. I have monkey toes.

24. I'm hungry. Why? See number 13.

25. I have a random habit of picking up and discarding verbal ticks.

My babies - A thread of random builds I've come up with over the years.

Wait, Robby is the Fluffy guy? I remember you, but not by name.

Let's see... Here's some troll food for ya (Despite appearances, I am not so egotistical so as to believe people on the Internet actually give a shit about me).

1: Single, uninterested. Cost/benefit analysis = Epic Fail. Not much else to say here.
2: Iji = awesome game.
3: When not smiting imbeciles, or playing the above I'm probably reading something.
4: If you need me to tell you what my favorite animal is, I counter by asking how the fuck you can read while blinded.
5: I rarely care about anything, much less anyone as it just isn't important enough to penetrate my Apathy Resistance.
6: I hate cold.
7: My Charisma is over 9,000. No, not really, but I have little trouble getting others to do what I want them to do.
8: I'm very snarky. But you already knew that.
9: It is nearly impossible for me to gain weight. Which is why I eat a lot and still maintain an average weight. No eating disorder or anything, it just gets burned fast.
10: Heterosexual.
11: Furry. (rare combo, I know)
12: Pizza and Pepsi, bitches. Nuff said.
13: I despise Imbeciles, and smite them with fervor.
14: I also despite 4.0. These two points are semi related.
15: Actively mocks religion with a vengeance if provoked, or just for the lulz. People in this thread are currently safe.
16: Skilled optimizer, doesn't go all out though.
17: Eberron for the win, no contest.
18: Eventually, I'm going to get a Husky.
19: I don't really like TV or movies, and only really watch these when cooking just to have something to do without being distracted overmuch.
20: Very low view of others, until proven otherwise.
21: Despite the above, I'm actually an optimist in some roundabout way, as I always try to find something useful about a person or thing. Even if it's just 'only good for cheap laughs, otherwise completely useless and at best irrelevant if not an active liability'.
22: Cold mofoer. But you already knew that too.
23: I optimize life. Moreso than my games in fact.
24: I'm used to dealing with idiots and crazy people. And by crazy people I mean devoid of reason, not merely affected with a mental disorder.
25: I make a Bluff check to convince you there's something here.

I also did this on Facebook, but will repost. 

1) I'm a perfectionist and have a really hard time starting anything unless it'll be just right. Hence putting off this task- I'm a bit crippled in that I know as soon as I hit publish I'll think of 12 things I wish I had said instead. Oh, wait, there is a "save draft" feature... that's dangerous!

2) Related to #1, my new mantra is "done is better than perfect". I had to tell myself that over and over when I was writing my Master's Thesis. I would fiddle for months if I could- but that looming due date ignored my pleas of perfection and "good enough" had to do.

3) Related to #2, I hate settling and I hate settlers. People give up too easy when confronted with even an ounce of resistance or confrontation. You've got to at least try to get what you want.

4) Exception to #3: Space settlers would be awesome. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment if I was asked to colonize a space settlement. See ya bitches.

5) Point of clarification: I have a couple of profiles and online personas depending on the use. This is my podcasting personality which is different than my "real" self. I like to segment my life- it helps know how to deal with situations and what the expectations are.

6) Further clarification on #5- I am both extremely open and honest and pretty private. I will answer almost any question asked and will openly, loudly, discuss topics that would make others blush. But I won't talk about any struggles with anyone until I'm at a breaking point.

7) 6b- I don't quite understand many social interactions. I understand most people need external help to solve personal problems, but I've never figured out how to make that work for myself. Talking with someone will almost always spark a new thought, but actually solving the problem is a completely internal process.

8) Proof of #6- My prized Toy is a Hello Kitty vibrator. I don't use it though- it's too cute. And pokey.

9) I love to present and talk in front of an audience but hate social mixers. I fake my way through it every time. I'd much rather speak in front of 200 people than shake hands with 20 strangers.

10) I watched almost no TV growing up but had a few favorites- Dukes of Hazard, Electric Company, and The Smurfs were my friends.

11) I would "fantasize" about being able to shrink and go and save the smurfs from Gargamel. I had a stuffed Azrael that was one of my favorite toys.

12) I have lucid dreams and since I was a child I fall asleep telling myself stories in my head. Then it was about the Smurfs, now it is about traveling and meeting people and heroic feats. Sometimes my dreams have full beginning and end credits and original scores.

13) Related to #12- I have restless mind syndrome and can only fall asleep if I am overstimulated. Otherwise my brain won't shut up. My self medication involves a white noise machine, the TV on, and reading. If I'm traveling I have to take either an antihistamine or a Tylenol PM or some such and wear ear plugs to simulate my white noise machine or I won't sleep.

14) Related to #12 but in a different route- I've always felt like I should make movies. I find story inspiration everywhere-- sometimes moments that would be great in a scary movies, sometimes songs that would be great in a soundtrack, sometimes lines or phrases that I'd love to write. I haven't ruled it out yet. I have the eye for it, could lead a team well, and would direct actors well.

15) I drive fast but always wear my seat belt.

16) (obvious) I'm a total control freak. Define the Type A personality. I've always had to do it myself and it's still easier to just do it than to articulate my expectations.

17) I need physical touch. A true physiological need. There are people (and I'm one) who only feel validated as human beings if they receive enough touch. Ironically, I'm not a touchy-feely person and will rarely initiate contact, but once someone else does, my mood changes and I feel electrically grounded.

18) I like sex and don't believe in true monogamy.

19) Ethnically I'm Irish and Welsh but culturally, I'm a Mainer. People from Maine are their own breed. We have a unique outlook on life that isn't like other areas in New England. It has shaped me more than almost any other aspect of my upbringing.

20) I'm an observer. I read body language well and will rarely enter a situation unless I have had a chance to assess it.

21) I met my podcast cohosts in a production of Anne of Green Gables. Actually, no, I met Zeke a year before that on a pitch black road. He freaked the shit out of me. Almost literally.

22) I love to travel and explore new places. I like to visit grocery stores in new cities and take public transportation in foreign countries. My dream job would be one where I was traveling at least every month.

23) I want kids. Like... now. So parents, watch your babies 'cause I'm in a stealing mood.

24) Ender's Game is my favorite book ever and has inspired me in so many ways. Whenever I'm solving a problem, it helps to keep in mind, "the enemy's gate is down" to remember to not just look at an issue straight on, but sideways, backwards, and reverse time.

25) Games are probably one of the biggest influences, inspirations, and motivators in my life.

I'm going to respond to all of that in a way no one will expect!

There is a guy that works in my library named Reader, but his first name isn't Easy.   :D

Wow, small (facebook) world!

1. I moved to Japan in 2006.

2. I can speak 3 languages (English, French, and Japanese), and I'd like to learn another language for each decade that I live. Not sure what I'd want to learn next... Maybe German or Spanish.

3. I've been playing guitar for about 10 years, though I rarely practice (and the humidity here causes my strings to rust in a matter of days).

4. My family drove across the northern states in the US when I was 12. It was the best vacation I've ever had. We camped in Yellowstone National Park and saw buffalo, and I remember eating Taco Bell almost every day.

5. For several years I stopped watching TV, but have recently become hooked on a couple good shows: Supernatural, and Burn Notice.

6. I think my imagination hates me. I'm constantly seeing dark things lurking at the edges of my peripheral vision.

7. I'm not a very tough guy, but I've studied various martial arts since I was 8.

8. I tend to reread/rewatch my favourite books and movies several times over.

9. I think Puff the Magic Dragon is one of the saddest songs ever written. Losing touch with your inner child is tantamount to saying "I choose to no longer enjoy life".

10. I generally don't trust people unless I know them well. In my experience most people are not good people.

11. If you were to compare my father's CD collection and my CD collection, you'd probably find about half of the artists are the same.

12. I dislike ceremonies. Formalized action is the antithesis of life, in my view.

13. I tend to over analyze things, but miss the obvious at the same time.

14. Aside from my friends, the main thing I miss about Vancouver is the variety of food.

15. It's my dream to become a published writer, but I have neither the attention span, nor the motivation to actually do anything about it.

16. I enjoy cooking, but I never bother with recipes.

17. I find menial tasks to be more bothersome than they are worth. If I ever got a job in an office doing paperwork all day I'd lose my mind!

18. Clothes shopping in Japan is an exercise in futility. I have found a grand total of 3 things that actually fit me here, and I've been here almost 3 years.

19. I went to film school instead of getting a degree. It was the most enjoyable schooling I've ever taken, even though I didn't end up working in the industry.

20. I can usually feel which way is north, and have an excellent sense of direction, unless I'm underground.

21. Hi, my name is Erik, and I'm a computer addict.

22. I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

23. Children instinctively like me. And then they usually try to jump on me. I think in their eyes I'm either just a really big kid, or a walking jungle gym.

24. I feel emotionally detached, so I gauge my emotional state through what type of music I feel like listening to. If I can't listen to anything except Iron Maiden's Killers album, I know I'm stressed out.

25. Sometimes I wish monsters were real. It would make life much more interesting.

So, you wanna be Sam or Dean? I think I'm more like Dean myself...

Don't worry, I'd still let you drive the Impala :P

Personality-wise, I'm more like Sam.  Taste in music, etc...  Much more like Dean.   :p

Dean on both accounts for me, definitely as far as the music goes, although I have some personality elements of Sam as well... :P

It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

12. I love to imagine all sorts of stories, but I can't seem to bring myself to actually write them down. I've got the plot for three or four stories more or less fleshed out in my head, but I have never so far actually written a single word of them.

That makes two of us.   :rollseyes
