TMI Tuesday
10 years ago
Well, it's Tuesday. That means ask whatever the fuck you want about me. But I'll start off by providing info about me with this meme that I've been seeing everywhere. I'm not one to jump on meme bandwagons, but it fit in with TMI Tuesday, so I thought why the hell not. Still though, I welcome your questions. They're fun to answer.
Basics
Name: Skips. Well, that's just a nickname really. Also my middle name. So yeah, it is my name!
Nickname: Well, I mean, I just said.
Location: West Florida. Nice little quiet corner of Florida, in my opinion.
Age: 22
Height: 5' 11"? 6'? Something around that.
Zodiac sign: Libra
Pets: Three cats! Two of them are maine coons. The third is a cat my brother rescued down in Gainsville.
Favorite thing about yourself: What if I don't like myself?
Worst habit: Procrastinator. Lazy. Noncommittal. Is that last one a habit? Also eating too much.
Fun fact: If I were to grow a beard, it'd actually be a different color than the rest of my hair. More ginger than brown. I know it's not all that uncommon. But what's interesting is that down the middle of my beard there is actually a stripe of dark hair. I think that's a fun fact.
Identity, Sexuality, & Personality
Gender identity: Sexy (I wish). But actually just a male.
Sexual preference: Well, I can't say I know my preferences yet, to be honest. I think I'm pretty open minded. I would say I can find both men and women sexy, so I'll just go with bisexual for now.
Romantic preference: Hmm. I would say the same as above. But I feel like I would tend to be more intimate or emotionally connected with women than men.
"Kinsey Scale" score: I don't know a kinsey, or what her scale means. So, I would say I score awesome.
Relationship status: Forever alone....
Myers/Briggs type: INFP. I believe that's Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving. I totally forget what that means. But it seemed to fit me.
Hogwarts house: I'd probably be Ravenclaw, if I were being honest. And I'd probably be jealous of Hufflepuff, because I feel like that's where the artsy folk are, but I'm just here in Ravenclaw because I'm good at studies and shit and people say I'm smart and fuck those guys BECAUSE STANDARDIZED TESTS ARE SHIT AT DETERMINING INTELLIGENCE AND GETTING GOOD GRADES IN SCHOOL AND COLLEGE MEAN NOTHING IN THE REAL WORLD!!!! Ugh.
Routine
"Early Bird" or "Night Owl": Hmm. Both, kinda. Used to be more of an early bird. But I'm totes a night owl. But I can get up early if I need to. I just need naps later on.
First thought in the morning: I don't want to leave my bed....
Last thought before falling asleep at night: Bed! I missed you! So much!
School/Work
Do you work or are you a student: Working part time as of now until I can get a job with the BS degree I got in software engineering. So far, no luck.
What do you do well: Sleep. Eat. Breathe. Program shit, I guess. Math and physics too, I like to think. Also pottery. I was fucking good at it. I miss it so much.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years: Not dead, hopefully. Happy, I hope. I doubt it, though. Um....probably no longer here in my quiet little corner of Florida. I'll probably miss it. I don't know where I'll end up, though. Probably still alone.
Habits (Do you…?)
Drink: Let me tell you about beer....
Smoke: Uh, no, actually. I believe inhaling smoke into one's lungs isn't a very healthy thing.
Do Drugs: I haven't. Though, I would be willing to try something in a safe, controlled environment.
Exercise: I really, really, really need to....
Have a go-to comfort food: Pretty much anything my mom makes. Also pizza. Mexican food. Italian. Pretty much anything made from starch.
Have a nervous habit: Not really. I don't think.
What is your favorite…?
Physical quality (in yourself): My lack of medical problems! No, seriously, not having allergies is great. So is not being constantly sick. It...actually makes me ashamed I don't take care of my body more considering there are people who do have tons of allergies and / or get constantly sick.
In Others: Um....I don't know. Never thought of it.
Mental/emotional quality (in yourself): My favorite mental or emotional quality of myself? Hmm. Probably my ability to be objective, or call myself out on my own bullshit sometimes. Probably would have killed myself long ago if I didn't keep telling myself that was literally stupid. So I'd say it's my favorite because I'm not dead right now.
Food: See the comfort food list above.
Drink: Water is great! Have you tried it? Also I like coke. I like a nice sweet carbonated sods every now and then (read: always). Also beer and cider. Recently found a love for ginger ale too.
Animal: Okay, I'm biased. I fucking love cats. The cheetah being my favorite animal. Go figure. Haven't had very good encounters with dogs. In theory, they're great. Though, I tend to like wolves, foxes, AWDs more than just typical dogs. But still, cats.
Colors: Red is my favorite color. Followed closely by lavender.
Artist/Band/Group: Oh, man, so much music. I can't begin to name. Um. Radical face is the one that comes to mind. I don't think there's a song of theirs I don't like.
Author/Poet: Again, same. I have no idea. Too many books.
Actor/Actress: Hmm. Meryl Streep. JK simmons. Other people as well.
Blogger: I don't blog.

First a question for yourself (as I would assume the answer to likely be a personal thing and thus not something to write about here); why do you hate yourself so much? Give it thought. Does it make sense? If it does, what can you do about it? :)
Um, ok... Why the canine hate, racist?! Dogs are the most awesome things EVER :D
Also, "I would tend to be more intimate or emotionally connected with women" WTF? :D A guy is good enough for sex, but not an emotional bond? ;D I'm just pokin' ya ;) I felt the same way once. Now I've been with the same guy for *look of concentration; counting on fingers* ... 13 years! :)
And no nervous habits? O_o Must be nice! :D I bite my finger nails, sing random tunes to myself (embarassingly over PSN / XBL too, as Torque_Tiger could attest to!) and if it's easily available, eat sweets / chocolate (not good!) :)
Jeese I hated physics. Worst thing the tutor could've done was tell me that a bunch of the laws weren't exact and were likely to either change or be completely disproven and re-worked. From that point on, the answer to everything was "Coulombs", as it's a pretty sexy word (and explains why I failed physics!) :)
Second off, that is a personal question. But, this is TMI Tuesday, so someone finally picked a good question to ask for a TMI. In my opinion, anyways. So, congratulations. Why do I hate myself? Well, my therapist said it was because externalize all good things that happen to me and internalize all bad things that happen to me. In other words, I tend to blame myself for anything going wrong, but I credit outside sources if something goes right. That, combined with how I'm highly critical of myself tends to not make for a very positive opinion of self. And feelings like that felt over years have developed into a general self loathing, and my laziness and lack of care for myself has done absolutely nothing to change those feelings. So, that's probably the best reason as to why I hate myself. Does it make sense? Well, it makes sense to me. What can I do about it? Probably stop being a little piece shit, and I really need to get motivated to get around to doing that.
Okay, third. I don't hate canines. I never said I hate canines. Did I say that? *rereads post* Hah. I didn't. I just said I haven't had good experiences when I was young. I end up getting jumpy around dogs. They're so much energy. Cats are chill. Like me. We get each other. We're cool. Why are you racist against cats, if Dogs are the best thing ever, according to you?
Fourth. I never said guys aren't good enough for an emotional bond! I just said I'm better at forming those bonds with women. That doesn't mean I won't find a guy who I can form such a bond with. I'm talking in generalities when it comes to this. I can't talk anything more specific than that because I don't have such experiences. I'm 22 years old and can't even say for certainty what my sexuality is, nor had any sort of relationship beyond friendship with anyone in real life because I can't interact with people well enough to go anywhere beyond that. And I probably don't even know myself well enough or know what I want enough to be in a committed relationship. It's all very confusing and sometimes frustrating. But that's too negative of a paragraph so far, so congratulations on 13 years together with your guy. That's literally more than half my life.
Fifth. Nervous ticks, I don't really do anything out of nerves. Yes, I bite my nails, but that's just a habit I do even when I'm not nervous. I don't really sing random tunes. I might whistle them, but not when I'm talking to someone or some such. Maybe I just don't know what a nervous tick is.
Sixth. Who the fuck was your tutor and why are they so bad at life? Physics is just a bunch of laws that weren't exact and were likely to change or be disproven or reworked? Honestly, did they even science?! Like, no wonder you hate physics. I am actually sorry you had to go through that, because it's fucking bullshit. Like, I could go on a whole rant. Oh my God. I want to punch them in the face. They sound worse than my Chemistry teacher, and I hate chemistry because of him. One, the laws of physics don't change. That's why they're laws. They've been pretty much proven to hold true. They're very exact. There's no ambiguity about them whatsoever. Things only really get wonky in extreme situations like near the speed of light. Physics can be summed up as math and drawing things to visualize the math. Like, yeah. "Coulombs" is not a sexy word. It's a fun word, yes. But I feel the "Tesla" is a much sexier sounding unit. OH MY GOD I HATE YOUR PHYSICS TUTOR THAT PERSON IS SHIT I'M SORRY THEY RUINED PHYSICS FOR YOU.
*deep breath* I'm calm. I swear I'm calm. But I think that answers all your questions! Thank you for asking. It was quite fun responding. Made my day. Thank you.
Second; that makes you sound more English than American ;) We're TERRIBLE at accepting praise (the fact that you guys applaud yourselves on TV horrifies us!) :D Set yourself some kind of routine involving exercise (light or otherwise), say, three times a week? Go jogging / cycling, do some weights, just something exercisey. It helps to clear your head AND you feel you're doing something positive :)
Third; don't you throw this back at me, racist!! :D I grew up with multiple cats AND dogs. I just find cats to be a bit stuck up and pompous. Dogs are big balls of love and affection that just want to play and make you happy :)
Fourth; ok, I admit I purposefully took that one out of context ;) But my point remains! You can fall just as hard for either (if you ARE bisexual. If not, then you'll figure that out in time of course) :)
Fifth; maybe I misread up there... A nervous tick is an involuntary muscle spasm :) Such as the corner of your eye twitching. I think it was asking about nervous HABITS which are very different ;)
Sixth; born again Chirstian guy who was a bit of a douche. He was also my Chemistry tutor but I still love Chemistry (even tried for a degree in it later, but failed horribly) :D Coulombs is a BOOB word. I don't know why, it just is. Tesla is good too though, I'll admit :D
Second, I can accept praise sometimes...begrudgingly. And I should go exercising a bit instead of just sit around doing nothing when there's nothing to do.
Third, now you're being racist. My cats showcase lots of love and affection. They cuddle and purr and sleep with me and they're warm and fluffy and adorable and make me feel happy. So, maybe, your cats were stuck up because you didn't like them.
Fourth, nothing more to add, really.
Fifth, well, I was thinking of things like nervous ticks suck as eye twitches or involuntary tapping of the foot and things like that.
Sixth, I blame his like for chemistry for fucking up physics that badly. But, then again, I still hate chemistry.
