Things about yourself that people would be surprised to learn |
Lead | ||
|
I thought that I would start a new "FUN" topic in regards to things that people would be really surprised to learn about yourself. Alright now,
everyone knows that ALL of us here in the Monolith forums are all into Gothic-fiction & literature, Gothic-horror & fantasy/Medieval-fiction &
fantasy, Nox Arcana, Horror, Vampires, Monsters, Sci-Fi, etc...BUT, tell us something about yourself that no one else really knows about you, like for
example...do you like another altogether different style of music that is totally on the opposite, far end of the Gothic-horror & Medieval-fantasy
spectrum. C'mon, don't be shy...let us know!

I like comic books and cartoons, though they usually involve a brooding anti-hero, like Batman or Wolverine (from X-Men). What can I say, other than, to quote
Toys R Us, "I don't wanna grow up"?

OMG - you people are BORING!!!!!!!! Except for Ron and his "Larry Welk" - now that was a surprise. I grew up with him, too. Sitting on my dad's
lap, watching the sherbert-colored dresses whiz by, escorted by their same-colored, frilly-laced dance partners while Myron Floren pounded it out on his
accordion. I don't think the DVD's from the shows are out, but I think the "specials" are if you're interested, RON!!!
Either Garth, Bella and Wolfy are too chicken (bawk bawk) to share their deep, dark weirdness or they're just plain ol' boring............ here goes (just a few) of mine: * I love to eat spinach right out of the can. Room temperature - just give me a fork. NO POPEYE JOKES PLEASE. * I am obsessed with Manfred Von Richtofen. * People are shocked when they find out I have 4 tattoos. "You don't look like the type of person who would." Uh, and what would THAT person look like? * I can recite WORD FOR WORD the entire shows of The Christmas Story (with Ralphie) and Spaceballs. * I can sing the alphabet song backwards. (it's amazing that few people can do this??!!) * I can sing "You Are My Sunshine", VERY ARTICULATELY, with my mouth closed! * I can mimic many cartoon voices. I talk to my dog a lot in the Homer Simpson voice, or Barney (his drunk friend) or Buggs, or Daffy... * I love the Flintstones and I don't think there's ANYTHING I don't know about them or the 166 episodes. Had 6 six seasons, running from Sept. 1960 to Apr 1966. * I love MOST music and can switch from any style within a blink of the eye. I have been known to listen to Metallica or Slayer and the next song be a New Agey song. Then back to metal, then to classical or jazz. NA .... then folk, then YoYo Ma. I have seriously CRAZY play lists....... That's enough for now. Alright you other darksters...... cough up more! |

*Sets out to prove how boring he is.*
Despite loving Nox Arcana and a FEW flicks, I generally DON'T like horror films. I gross my family out by eating peanut butter straight from the jar. I once ate a container full of salt to get to the four pretzels it had in it. I'm deathly afraid of bees, spiders, etc. I may write eloquently and be warm on the phone and such but I'm usually not very outgoing. If you get into my inner circle, you stay there. Well there you have it. If I can think of more boring stuff about myself, I might put it up here. Take it easy. |

Oh, I bet I could eat an entire jar of peanut butter faster than our sweet John could Garth is very ........ um ...... interesting ( I've seen KOTH a few times; I like the skinny guy who mumbles - don't know his name) Wolfy is ........ still boring. Afraid of mirrors at night? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................... C'mon!!! Something juicy!!! * I also have all the Count Duckula episodes memorized (older folks will remember who that is. If ya have to ask, forgeddaboudit). * I can wiggle my nose, wiggle my ears, turn my tongue sideways, EITHER WAY, and whistle without my fingers 2 different ways (thru my lips and thru my
tongue), whistle WITH my fingers many different ways, including the thumb/forefinger route.

It's really kewl to have some of you post in this "off-key" topic I started...so I guess that makes me OFF key, eh?
* nods to M' Lady, beladragon and fellow FAN and friend of ALL things Frightful and Macabre...and other* ...since our own beloved friend, Sir JCRME (a.k.a. John) comes forward with his passion to consume peanut butter, straight out of the container...I too, also eat peanut butter straight from the jar Here's more surprises that no one knows about me...until now! * I can do a pretty good Popeye voice, just ask John (JCRME)... AND I can also talk like a possessed person or sound like a demon/monster, where it sounds like two or three voices talking at the same time. * When I heard the news back in 1977 that Elvis Presley had passed away, I had ran to my bedroom and had thrown myself on to my bed and just wept like a baby...I will never forget Elvis! The man and his music had initially inspired me greatly, to become interested in becoming a musician and he was my earliest musical influence from the get go. * I once dated the niece of musician, Charlie Daniels of the Charlie Daniels Band, back in the early 90s. * I once had my artwork (a spread american eagle) televised on a local cable television show back in the mid-80's, the show was called, "In God's Heritage"

A spaghetti sandwich sounds VERY interesting. I'm sure it would have been even MORE interersting watching you attempt to eat it!!
Okay, I'll choke as I type this, but ........ I still get down and funky to "Macarena", that stupid spastic song from the, what, early 90's? ~lady bela |

Okay, since we're talking about cooking shows, I miss watching The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr. It ended in 1971 after he was temporarily paralyzed
from a car accident.
Yes, Kerr's still alive. I thought the guy was a hoot!!! ~lady bela |

I have created a new word, which I have started to use as my username in some forums: Vérmämpìr. I thought of it after a misreading of the word Vampire in a
different language. If you find anyone using that username, that someone is me.

Well, I feel comfroted... I ALS0 eat peanut butter straight out of the jar.... and use the same spoon, haha
I've tried to explain the following to a couple of people but so far no one has understood it: No book has ever made me cry as much as Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I cannot bare the fact that Sirius died. The first time I read it I was depressed - truly depressed - for days. Even now, a few years after that I cry and howl in agony and always ask to no one in particular: Why did HE have to DIE? It's heartbreaking... |
