    Same. I'm an excellent shot as well. I can also shoot a sling shot with surprising accuracy. I'm also immune to poison ivy, oak and sumac, my grandma has me pull them out for her because she's extremely allergic to them. I can swim, but I'm terrified of drowning so I stay in shallow water.

    -My hair is always colored, usually pink. I haven't seen my natural color since 6th grade, but that works out though because I'm going prematurely grey like my father.
    -I have a medical alert service dog
    -I've been doing art since I could hold a pencil.
    -My hands are always cold, even in the summer
    -I can talk to anyone about anything, I've very hard to offend
    -If someone gets egotistical or self righteous around me, I want to hurt them.
    - Through school, I use to routinely make teachers cry, but only if I felt they were being bullies.
    -I always knew I wanted to be a scientist and a writer.
    -I could read at a college level in grade school

    * I've never the pleasure of most of the classics; musics, literature, programming, film, the physical arts, even Theatre productions have eluded me. :twi: I didn't watch Pulp Fiction until this past Summer, ::S: and it certainly lives up to it's storied fame.
    *I love being backstage on Theatre productions. :sleep: It's very fun back there; experiencing the backstage is even more fun than being in a play.
    *My most influential relative is my maternal-grandfather.
    *I love history, but I feel it's taught incorrectly.
    *I almost have an :zebra: associate's's in Accounting.
    *I was in Mock Trail in High School, and Middle School.
    *I went to 11 clubs through-out High School.
    * I'm into environmental determinism, which can basically be summarized as the idea that geography basically determines :grin: how well people fare in an area; I explains quite universally, and, to my view, accurately why some people live in heated houses, driving automobiles, work on the clock, and come home to enjoy their technologically advanced home, :magic: and some people live on subsistence agriculture in grass huts.
    *I'm into incompatibilism mixed with libertarianism, which basically means that I don't think the universe is deterministic, and your life is only partially built by your own free will, but you do still have free will. :smile:

    So tonic reagents are a real combination! :Boo: I never knew that before. :smile:

    I was heavily involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement, but eventually left because I got sick of their unwillingness to actually do anything.

    -Not sure if obvious or not, but I'm incredibly shy and keep to myself majority of the time. Less so online, though.
    -Pansexual, or something like that.
    -Studying for Computer Science degree with honours.
    -Been programming since I was like 12 or something.
    -I've nearly died very many times when I was younger, especially to water, so I have a fear of going into the ocean, or deep pools.
    -I like autumn/fall, and prefer to be cold than hot.
    -I pretty emotion-heavy and can be clingy to those close to me.
    -I'm pretty feminine.
    -Unless you can keep a conversation going, we're going to have an awkward time.
    -Despite my very clear love of metal music, I can enjoy a lot of other music, including classical and jazz.
    -I have a range of mental issues, officially diagnosed. Including Bipolar II, and some form of anxiety and paranoia disorders.
    -I like math and physics.
    -I'm terrible at creativity and ideas.
    -I wish to travel all over Europe.
    -Live in New Zealand (beautiful place :3)
    -I'm a complete nerd when it comes to computing and games, having worked in a couple computer shops for repair and stuff, as well as watching e-sports every day, and have started doing some casting (commentary) for DotA 2.
    -I have very few friends, but I'm okay with that. quality > quantity.
    -Don't really watch films that much, nor TV shows that go for an hour, especially serial shows.
    -Got a $5000 scholarship.
    -I'm 6'5"
    -I suppose I'm a hippie, but probably less so than most. (please don't judge me D: )
    -Very accepting of people and their choices. I'm the sorta person you can say anything to (about yourself or opinions) and I'll think no less of you (Echoax could probably vouch for me there)
    -I like intellectually stimulating activities, like puzzles of any kind, IQ things, stuff like that.

    Here is a personality test I took (its huge), it was a pretty lengthy test, so I guess its decent on reliability, except for What it says under agreeableness, where it says I may have more concern over myself, than others. I would say I care a lot more about others than myself. But that would mostly be people close to me. (Best friends, family, which it does mention)

    I can't think of anything else. Feel free to ask if you'd like.

    Here goes, although they won't necessarily be interesting:

    - I'm bisexual
    - I've never dyed my hair
    - I dropped out of computer science (go me!)
    - I once accidentally peed on a guy I later started dating (go... me?)
    - I am great at baking
    - When I was a kid, I would sometimes faint out of sheer rage because I forgot to breathe in between my screams.
    - I think jealousy is a disgusting emotion, and I hope I never catch myself feeling it again.
    - I lovelovelove spicy foods, but if you warn me about its spiciness, I will inevitably see it as a challenge and end up burning my tongue off.
    - Long nails are so unattractive to me, and they are one of my very few real instant turnoffs on the superficial level.

    - I haven't changed my OC in about...Ooo...7 or 8 years. Been a fox of varying degrees for a long ol' while.
    - Me and Foxy once sat in front of the comedian Sean Lock on a train.
    - I once referenced myself as an Artist in a School Art Project. Effectively, I got to do nothing but turn up, doodle anything then go home. Got a B.
    - I once reviewed the fan fic 'Cupcakes' because Foxy dared me. Since then, nothing has come close to it in it's particular brand of horrible.

    Said every Monopoly player ever. :derpe:




    I think the only fact about me that could be considered interesting is that i once played World of Warcraft for 4 days and 3 nights straight (there was no sleep, only Red Bull) and leveled a character all the way from 1 to 85 in that time, and geared up considerably after achieving said level.

    I once got hypothermia (my body temp was 76.9 degrees) and didn't realize it until my mother started freaking out because my skin was bright red.

    Occupation:

    - I'm a game designer who is working on an MLP card game as a side project (I started way before we knew about the official CCG). Right now I'm working on my first major game project.

    - I'm part Navajo, which I identify with but no very little about the culture.

    - I love super spicy food. I've had ghost pepper salsa and almost beat a spicy ramen challenge that included habeneros.

    - I'm Catholic but I love learning about other religions and beliefs. This also means that I'm an altruist and a pacifist (though I'm not very good at the second part).

    - I play (or use to play) Super Smash Bros. competitively with items on. You don't know Smash until you've played some higher level play with items. Things get really interesting. I main Ike for fun and Pit for competition.

    - I'm a gym leader for a local Pokemon league. Ghost specialty.

    - I've studied martial arts for most of my life. I think I'm still pretty good at it too.

    - I'm a feminist, meaning I believe that people should be treated equally regardless of gender. I also believe that gender stereotypes are stupid.


    - I love the Star Wars prequels, though I recognize their flaws (especially from Attack of the Clones).

    - I speak a little Japanese.

    Thanks Xander for reminding me a couple things.

    -Despite being a pacifist, I did a mixture of martial arts for about 5 years, managing to achieve black belt. I hated sparring.
    -I have gone to some local competitions for Quake and Unreal Tournament, managing to achieve decent results.
    -I speak at least some of Spanish, German, Norwegian, and learning Russian currently.
    -Got 2nd prize out of my university for a small group-developed Android app.

    Makes me remember that I've played Nerf competitions, and used to be the elite shooter of the team.
    And I'm also part of the admin of a (dunno how you guys call this) medieval reconstitution with a fantasy scenario live event (Grandeur Nature in french), and am almost unbeatable when I have my two daggers and short sword. I'm also a real-life alchemist, so I-m playing that role in that medieval event.
    I'be been called Loki when I was in college, both for my luck and manipulating my teachers.
    And... I'm considered as a magician, but not the rabbit-in-the-hat type of magician.

    I was in marching band in high school and played the sousaphone.
    I love music that includes a strong brass part, hence my adoration for Streetlight Manifesto.
    I believe the previous two points are connected.

    I don't think there's anything else really interesting about myself.
