Alright, confess odd things.

For example, I'm jealous to my big brother becuase he discovered The Smiths first. Dammit, now I can't have a crush for Morrisey without feeling weird about it.

This may not be the thread to say this in, but Duolingo just gave me a starting Ramp-Up with only one exercise in it.

Sometimes I feel like I am too hardened to gruesome imagery, as if it is a bad thing, as I was not overly surprised that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 got a PG-13 in the US and 12 in the UK.

I'm only fine having my player character be a boy if the option to be a girl isn't there. I'm... possibly looking to step outside my comfort zone when I eventually start White? Maybe?

I prefer to play as male characters. I like the escapism.

I like to play nonhuman characters that bear no resemblance to humans besides humanoid shape, or characters with masks that hide such human features. This shows up in my art too.

Sometimes when I get to the punchline of a joke, my voice gets a little higher-pitched (probably to make it sound goofier).

When a social media post tells me to turn up my volume, that just makes me not want to turn it up even more. I almost always keep my phone on silent, and I just love the satisfaction of not listening to those posts when they tell me to turn it up. evil grin

Every time I see a username containing "King" at the start, I immediately think of Vapour Soul OS.

This year on St. Patrick's Day, I sang "Picture" at the local bar while buzzed on Michelob Amberbock and Jameson. I'm still patting myself on the back that I can carry a tune while drunk. I can't remember if anyone sang Sheryl Crow's part though.

I didn't know McDonalds had other mascots (besides Ronald McDonald) until the "Grimace Shake" meme.

[up]That's interesting. I've known about the other mascots for a long time, but I've very rarely seen them used in marketing or anything. I don't know how I knew about them. :P


I don't really sing a lot. But lately, I've tried singing "Peaches" when I'm alone, and I think I'm getting kind of, sort of good at it. I just have to sing one octave lower than Jack Black does for most of the song, and I can't do the screams at the end.

I just love singing the "I love you" parts and making my voice growly. [lol]

I never had too much issues with drawing five fingers on my cartoon characters but I can't get five toes right so I often draw them with four toes instead.

Should be noted that I often have characters with footwear and I find feet annoying to draw for me.

It took me a good while for me to learn that maggots are baby flies.

I kinda just assumed that they were different species.
