Threads like this are fine since they've been done before. It's the Ask Me Questions where it's dedicated to one member that it's meant for the Member Encyclopedia.

1. I have little tolerance for internet humor or irrelevant nonsense and prefer things to get the point. For this reason, I have a lot of trouble communicating with people on the internet, and find most chat rooms to be grating. Basically, I am overly serious online.

2. I have a fiance who I've lived with for two years and met online. If you've seen my other posts, you will see I mention him frequently.

3. My favorite Pokemon is Braixen. It is a beautiful little fox.

4. On almost every avatar I find, I will mark it with my "signature" of red glasses. I also wear red glasses in real life.

5. The symbol in my signature was drawn and designed by me. It is called the "Arkra" and is an emblem that is used to represent myself.

Margot February 7th, 2016 7:20 PM

1. I'm one of those mythical beings who actually can't have gluten. It's not a preference.
2. If I could move anywhere right now I would choose Montreal or Paris (my French needs help first). My dream has been to move to a new city & country.
3. I work in media marketing, but want to go back to school for art history or art education. If I had a bunch of money, I'd even try an MFA in painting or photography.
4. I run a site dedicated to women artists.
5. I played the oboe until middle school and will always defend it's honor when people argue that it "sounds like a dying duck". When played correctly with the right amount of skill, it is just as beautiful as any of the other woodwinds. COME AT ME, I WILL FIGHT YOU ALL.

Frostweaver February 7th, 2016 9:01 PM

1. I actually prefer to be swamped with work rather than being a work shift with nothing to do. Time passes way too slowly if there's nothing to do and I am only staring at the clock.

2. I love trading card games, but the only one that I actually play is just Hearthstone right now. I played yugioh and Pokemon back then on the handheld games. They are just too expensive to play unless you can get tons of cards in a video game. If I'm rich, I'll definitely learn how to play Magic.

3. I also love the cold (in case the username isn't obvious). You can always dress warmer if things go cold, but what can you really do about the heat on your own? Nothing.

4. I'm a 28 year old guy with a room of just teddy bears and plushies. There would be a lot more of them if I have more money =P

5. I am always one console generation behind where it should be. I got a PS2 when PS3 was new... and only got a PS3 last year when PS4 was out.

I never said it wasn't allowed, although, I suppose it was seemingly insinuated. Sorry for the confusion.

I've been managing it for about 10-11 years now, but I've been failing quite a bit as of recently due to absolutely no support from either from family or anyone else. Granted, I don't tell anyone about this because no one would really believe me, anyway. My mother is the type of person that believes every illness can go away like magic and there's no such thing as a mental illness.

I thought you were an adult. Can't you like, get help from a doctor without the support of your parents or friends?

At the end of the day, while I'm still saddened by their actions, I've made new friends that have stayed by my side and I know I can count on them when I'm at my worst.

Well, good for you. I know this fellow who was discouraged about making new friends after his old ones forsook him. It must be a good feeling to know that you can accept replacements.

At least in the cold, you can make yourself a good glass of hot chocolate or something and wrap yourself up in a blanket and it feels awesome. Can't say the same for the warmer times of the year. >.>;;

I'm fine with any weather, as long as the thermostat works.

If you asked any one of my co-workers currently, they would say that I'm pretty much as sunny as can possibly be; but it's exhausting to constantly put on that facade. Truth be told, I feel like I'd be one of those people in 10 years that would just be satisfied programming for a living and living alone in a big house in a quiet neighborhood or something. I can live with that, really.

I'm pretty introverted myself, and that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. Most of the people I know just aren't worth being around, regardless of my mood.

However, it's just a thing that I feel really off hugging people for some reason. Really, physical contact in general is something I need to come to terms with because it's such a shame that I rarely get to hug people nowadays.

It's not a big deal to reject a hug if you ask me. We've all got our preferences, and I respect that.

I realize how often we seem to differ in views. How coincidental... (actually, I'm like this with almost everyone I know tbh. It can feel odd at times, but I'm just being true to myself for what it's worth.)

killer-curry February 7th, 2016 11:05 PM

I'm fat but still like the body size.
I'm clumsy and forgetful
I love playing computer games
I love my life
I'm special (sort of) lol

Nolafus February 7th, 2016 11:07 PM

1. I work as a barista at my local grocery store. We also have a small pizza department next to the coffee stand that I work at too, and I really enjoy working there. The pay isn't the greatest ever, but for the first time in a long time, I can say that I'm happy.

2. I love creating things. Whether it's writing, drawing, or writing music, I take a lot of joy in building something and showing it to people. I think it would be amazing to have my own book published some day, and I'm actually writing out my second novel attempt now.

3. I would honestly go broke if it meant I was helping out my friends.

4. I'm really shy and introverted. My friends also call me the king of awkward, so I guess I'm not the best at talking to people, haha.

5. I have a cat named Mozart who wakes me up every morning at 8:00 on the dot.

noa February 7th, 2016 11:14 PM

1. I am adopted, I was adopted as a baby so I never knew my birthmom. I talked to her on the phone once, though.
2. I am a Hello Kitty collector, so far I have a Hello Kitty phonecase, blanket, two mugs, mouse, ds games case...
3. I am narcoleptic.
4. I really hate bananas.
5. I'm actually really loud and obnoxious in real life.

pkmin3033 February 7th, 2016 11:21 PM

1. I remember in a forum I used to go to there was a thread like this that served as a chat thread...I racked up about 20k posts in it. xD;
2. I can sing the entire score to the HMS Pinafore. I also know the Major General's song, as well as bits and pieces from The Sorcerer.
3. My guilty pleasure is 80s and early 90s pop songs.
4. I've had a series of fantasy novels in the works since I was fifteen which I've mostly developed when I've been either in bed or relaxing in the bath.
5. I frequently make obscure references to various pieces of media, be it in my posts, when I'm talking to someone, or even to myself. Nobody ever spots them. Sometimes I don't even realise I've done it until a few minutes/hours later.

Melody February 8th, 2016 12:15 AM

1. I'm genderfluid, which basically means I don't actually sit anywhere on the Male/Female binary of genders. It means my gender identity can fluctuate over time, and it most certainly does! 90% of the time I'm somewhere in the middle, leaning towards the female side most frequently. As such I usually act and portray myself as female, since that's how I normally feel.
2. I'm really friendly and nice, even if I'm somewhat shy and reserved. My friends are pretty special to me, and if I do sincerely feel you are my friend then...
3. I'm a really affectionate person. Like REALLY affectionate. Online this translates to a lot of very casual hugging. I hug my friends a lot! While I wouldn't be so inclined to do so in reality, I definitely would be if it were socially acceptable in reality!
4. I'm transgender! Yes; this means that I am not happy with my sex assigned at birth. I hope someday to change that about myself to the extent that I am happy with myself. It's not easy though, and I'm not rushing things though. It's just difficult for people like me to find proper care.
5. I'm forgiving, loyal and honest to a fault. To my friends especially. This has caused me some friction with other people, as I value these traits in others highly too. That doesn't mean I won't give everyone the benefit of the doubt if they make a mistake though. I will call things out how I see them.

Universe February 8th, 2016 1:09 AM

1. I like warmth a lot. Indoor heaters, warm drinks, blankets, flames, the sun, etc.
2. My hair is really cool.
3. Art is subjective, but sometimes I draw neat things.
4. Pink is my favorite color. When I was little it was my most hated.. kinda funny.
5. The person reading this is really cool too.

the last one's not a fact about me but a fact regardless. i'm not very good at these "about you" things.

Rude and insensitive, eh? If you say so, though it truly wasn't intentional. If it was the part where I said "I thought you were an adult", I didn't mean to accuse you of being immature. It was more or less a figurative hyperbole used to represent my misunderstanding of your circumstances. If you were referring to the part where I said you don't need the support of your family or friends for your illness, I would like to specify by saying that I don't see how they could really help you with your problems nearly as much in comparison as a professional probably would. In the end, I think the most they can do is adapt to the problem as much as possible. I don't know. I'm not in your shoes. Consider this a random rant as an awful attempt to display what I make of the facts, for those who care. Haha...

Tbh, I feel like it's more my fault for being too cryptic. This isn't the first time I confused someone. The good news is that I won't run into many problems as long as I get the chance to reword myself. : D

It's a big issue you've got. What do you have to lose to get checked out again? Good luck finding the motivation.

Somewhere_ February 8th, 2016 2:44 PM

1. My favorite food is lasagna. Pasta is really good. Basically carbs with sauce. (without is fine too)

2. My political leanings are Libertarian. Philosophically I am a Voluntaryist, but I am realistically a Minarchist. Although I am slowly becoming a Voluntaryist (if i am not one now). *jams to black and yellow*

3. I am a Christian. I try and go to church. I fail at doing that...like pretty much everything else (not really).

4. I enjoy anime and manga! I watch/read them mostly on the weekends at night when I have more time. Some of my favorites include Blue Exorcist and Watamote!

5. I am the founder of a charity club where we make ceramic bowls to raise funds!
