Hello, the name's James. James Bond.

[Echidna]

This will probably turn into a wall of text one way or another, so I'll try to add a tl;dr with bulletin points at the bottom.

Alright, so my legal name is Jalal Dalloul. Almost everyone calls me James though because, put simply, it's much lighter on the tongue. :p

I was born in Detroit, Michigan on the 20th of May, 1994. My parents are both Lebanese. I lived most of my life (Between ages 1 and 10) in Ohio, The Heart of America. Anyways, so I moved to Lebanon in 2004 when my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, and my dad wanted to be near her. 4 1/2 years later in December, 2008, she passed away. :(

I stayed in Lebanon up until Summer 2012. I love(d) it there, still do. It's a place where social interaction is everyone's number one concern, and making friends there is like making brothers. My entire family knows all of my friends and vice-versa. It's even up to the point where even after I left Lebanon in 2012, my friends would still come over and hang out with my parents. Not even joking. There is not a dull moment in Lebanon. So yeah bottom line is, I came to love it there.

Regardless, in Summer 2012, after graduating high school, I moved to Plano, Texas in order to attend college. (My aunt lives near me but I hate her A LOT). I am currently on the course of receiving an Associate of Sciences degree, which I hope to transfer to a 4-year university there-on-after in pursuit of a Bachelor's degree in Biology Pre-Med. After that I hope, comes Medical School. I think, think, that I want to specialize in Cardiac Surgery, but we'll see anywho.

In 2008, I bought a bootleg cartridge of Pokemon Quartz Version. I was fascinated by how someone managed to make their own Pokemon game, one that wasn't developed by GameFreak. So I went home and looked it up, only to find out that it was a hack. I started reading up on hacking tutorials until I eventually stumbled onto PokeCommunity. It took me two years of lurking before I joined. Anyways, when I did join, it was for ROM Hacking. Now, however, I've grown to love everything about PC. I don't hack anymore, but I still enjoy following up on the latest developments and checking up on / playing other people's hacks.

Along the way, I've been through a lot on PC (including TWO bans for being a straight-up utter dumbass) and other sites, all of which have helped me improve myself and learn a lot of lessons, as well as make many friends along the way. I won't list anyone other than my pairs because I'm afraid I'll forget someone and hurt their feelings ;;

• [supporter]Team Fail[/supporter]: I met Jordan on a little site we like to call... PHO (because that's its name, get it? :D). We immediately became friends due to common interests and supplementary personalities if you will. We worked together on many projects and stuff, all the while bonding and getting to know each other. He's a great guy and a great friend. <3
• [supporter]Clacla[/supporter]: I met Clay back when I was a n00bish idiot (he was too for the record, are you recording this? *_*). We hacked together, worked on several other project together (almost all of which alongside Jordan as well). I hate him and I think he's an idiot but I can't un-pair him now. It's too late
  
  
• Anbuja's_BlooDY: Ah yes. Flamur was the first person to actually let me on his hacking team. Then after the team collapsed for many reasons, we worked together on restoring it. He's an amazing person with a kind heart, a great and talented hacker and artist, and all in all a wonderful person who I am happy to have met and am proud to call him a friend.

Ok so... interests.

Sports
Basketball, Baseball, Soccer and Swimming, but not in the the same way as others.

Films
My all time favorite movie franchises have to be (in no particular order whatsoever):

• The Lord of the Rings
• Harry Potter
• Percy Jackson & The Olympians
• Pirates of the Caribbean

But my one favorite film of all time has to be The Titanic. It's a cliche, I know. but who cares really, it's my favorite and you're just gonna have to live with that.

My favorite actor is Johnny Depp by the way.

Music
I have an ear for everything. There is no particular genre of music that I out-right hate or dislike. My favorite song has to be Carry on my Wayward Son - Kansas.
Second is Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin.

TV Shows
My all time favorite form of entertainment media. \o/
I watch way too many show, but my four favorites are:

• Supernatural
• Teen Wolf
• The Vampire Diaries
• Breaking Bad

Those middle two are subject to change, but Supernatural has always been (ok maybe at least for the past 5 years anyways) my favorite TV show ever.

Video Games
Although I do in fact love games in series such as Need for Speed, Call of Duty, Pro Evolution Soccer, Ratchet & Clank... etc, I am and will always be a Nintendo fangirl. Err, boy, Nintendo Fanboy.
My two favorite game franchises are Mario and Pokemon, and my favorite games in those respective franchises are Super Mario Sunshine, and Pokemon Emerald Version.
I am also deeply in love with the super Smash Bros. series and the Mario Kart games. Childhood got the best of me I guess.

As for other interests:

• Motion Picture Production & Writing (Mostly TV Series in that respect, I love the span of episodes one has for character and plot development and whatnot)
• Game Development
• Web Dev
• Graphics Design
• Writing

OK so anyways, hit me up. I'll answer any and all questions as long as they're (par the rules) appropriate and all that. Inappropriate question can go to my PM inbox if you so desire, though.

Sorry but I'm too lazy to write a tl;dr. :(

oooooo

I hope to transfer to a 4-year university there-on-after in pursuit of a Bachelor's degree in Biology Pre-Med. After that I hope, comes Medical School. I think, think, that I want to specialize in Cardiac Surgery, but we'll see anywho.

excuse me while I nerd out here. 8)

Why cardiac surgery specifically rather than any other field of medicine / bioscience in general?

How have the last few episodes of Breaking Bad been for you? I haven't seen them yet though so please don't spoil!!

I don't know why, but the human heart has always been a fascination of mine. I suppose it felt only suiting for me to enter that field. Although, as I said, I'm not %100 sure as these things have a tendancy to change after Med School ;;

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

It's Breaking Bad, I hadn't really expected anything less honestly. :p

 

[Echidna]

It's so hard to ask a question about you when we know so much about each other ;__;

Yeah I'm actually pretty sure I know more about you than your own mother does.

What Mario Kart game do you prefer?

Mario Kart Wii, for sure. Although I have to say that at this point, Mario Kart 8 is looking to change that.

 

[Captain Gizmo]

How many people have you killed?

Did you ever kill a member of PC?

How long did it took you to become a hitman?


Aaand, what attracts you the most in a TV series?

1) I've kinda lost count at this point. Sorry.
2) Haha, no. Nope. (I... I'm so sorry)
3) I made the decision overnight, it took me a few years to get a hang of it though. It then took me about 10 years to become the best of the best.

4) [And now the serious question] It's a tie between the characters (depth / personality) and how the plot serves to develop them, aka character development x plot.

EDIT: ...which I just noticed is everything. So yeah, essentially everything.

 

[Kanzler]

Even though I don't know you sir, I will disown you if you remove teen wolf from that list

as they say: The arrow...has left...the bow of the goddess.

;)

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I'm the same way as you with music – I usually like all genres of music. However, for the longest time I had a great distaste for country, alternative (indie) rock, and heavy metal. I've learned to like the former two, because I spent all of my early childhood listening to 90s country with my mother, and the last year and a half with alternative with my father. I'm still warming up to metal, though. :)

The thing I was wondering was, do you or did you ever have a distate for specific genres? Answer honestly please. :)

 

[Kanzler]

Did you know your siggy is downright hot? Serena's pretty bangin tbh, great sense of style she has :P

Please don't disown me D:

Rock and Metal, yes. Up until last year, I hated everything about those genres, they were just so loud and confusing to me. Rock is now among my favorites and I have a particular liking of Metal! You can thank my cousin and Supernatural for that, haha.

It's just how I role
