houndoomed tagged me, and now I must do my part to continue and spread the meme around. BWAHAHAHAHA!

But first, the rules!
1. You must post these rules (Very Important indeed).
2. Each person must post 11 things about themselves in their journal.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4. You have to choose 11 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have tagged him/her.
6. No tag backs.
7. No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you are reading this." You legitimately (AKA, really, truly, with all honesty) have to tag 11 people.

Eleven things about me

1. I was born practically deaf. For the first two years of my life, I couldn't hear a thing because my ears were clogged. Only after I had my adenoids removed and special tubes placed into my ears to drain everything did I start hearing anything. I hear things just fine now, though my ears still get clogged pretty bad whenever I get a cold or the flu.

2. I spend about 12 hours of my day sleeping. That's 8 hours at night, and 4 hours during the day. My mother's side of the family always required a lot of sleep, so it's not too weird to them. It's usually everyone else that gives me weird looks when I tell them I need to nap for a couple hours everyday. XD It is kinda annoying that I need so much sleep, but eh, I deal with it.

3. I went to boarding school for a year. The school uniforms sucked, having religion forced on me wasn't fun, and being stuck in the middle of nowhere bored the crap out of me, but overall, I have to say that it really was a great life experience. It was a lot like college except with less freedom, but more free food. Not to mention, I kissed my first boy there. <3

4. I know how to ride a horse. The boarding school that I attended had a class that taught people how to seriously ride horses, and despite me wanting to take home economics, the people there enrolled me in horseback riding. So, I got to learn how to giddy-up a horse and stuff. Granted, I ended up riding a pony rather than a horse, but eh, not much a difference.

5. I was a summer camp counselor for 3 years. Because my parents didn't want me "laying around the house all day doing nothing", during my summer months off from school I'd volunteer at the YMCA as a camp counselor at their summer day-camp program. Funnily enough, I ended up being the cool counselor that let kids get away with stuff that they're not supposed to do, like climbing on trees, sneaking into the woods to play manhunt, and playing in the mud. In return, they offered me free snacks at the end of the day. :9

6. I know how to play the paino and can read sheet music. This is due, in part, to my parents signing me up for paino lessons when I was, like, 8 years old and forcing me to go to them for a couple years. I still know the basics, but I can't just hop on and start playing something anymore. With that said, I can still read sheet music like a pro.

7. I am a huge professional wrestling fan. Started watching it when I was a kid, and I still watch it to this day every week. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. Yes, I know it isn't real, but that doesn't make it any less fun for me, so fuck you. x3

8. I learned computer programming when I was 15 years old. I expressed an interest to my parents in programming and making games, and they bought me this special software that actually taught me how to program in BASIC. It was pretty cool. Didn't make anything cool with it, but it did give me an advantage going into college over other students in my CS courses.

9. I stole a lot when I was a teenager. Mostly candy and drinks from convenience stores. It was exciting for me! I liked the thrill of taking stuff off shelves and sneaking it out past the cashier. Luckily, the novelty of it sort of wore off for me around high school, and I haven't done it since. In total, I probably stole about $500 worth of stuff, and not once did I ever get caught. Oh, and I stole pokemon trading cards, too, haha. XD

10. I am considering starting up my own business in the near future. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do yet, but I've got ideas that I'm developing. Doesn't everyone?

11. Retna's not my only character. I've also got a kangaroo and a blue jay that few people know about, as well as a couple other characters.


Eleven questions for me to answer

1. Who's your favorite troll from Homestuck? Feel free to skip if you haven't read it. Or, better yet, go read it. ALL OF IT.
I haven't read it. x3

2. First person shooters: yes or no? If yes, what's your favorite?
They're okay, I guess. I really suck at them, though. XD I guess my favorite is Halo 2, mainly because that's the only one I've consistently played. TF2 looks fun, though. :3

3. When was the last time you accidentally locked yourself in or out of a place?
The last time I remember locking myself out of a place was my second year of college, and I locked myself out of my own dorm room.

4. For sake of 11/11/11, what are you looking forward to on that date: Skyrim, Minecraft (which is actually moved to a week later, but meh), Homestuck act 6, or staring at the clock until 11:11? Or "other", I guess.
Minecraft, I guess.

5. What's your favorite type of Youtube video?
Ones that make me laugh.

6. Assuming all other obstacles are irrelevant, would you show up if I invited you to a gaming party?
Definitely. :3

7. Favorite cartoon character from the 90s?
Man, that's tough. I'll get back to you on that.

8. Preferred pizza toppings?
Sausage.

9. Are you my food, or am I yours? ;9

Uh... what? o.O;;

I'm not going to each of their pages to leave a shout though. They all watch me, and if they read journals, I'm sure they'll see this. :3



Also, someone should tag  blaccy in their journal meme. <3 I was going to tag him myself to annoy him, but  aethian hasn't been pestered by me in a while. Since I get to annoy  blaccy whenever I want (he's my roomie),  aethian won out this time.
