Fun facts about yourself

[QUOTE=Rich209;44139969]Next year I'll probably be working in a school as a band teacher and I'm 6 feet 6 inches tall.[/QUOTE]

I'm 6'9" aka tall as fuck.

[QUOTE=Stonecycle;44148819]Have you thought that your weight could be muscle and not fat? From what it sounds like, you're rather fit.[/QUOTE]

Well, I definitely have some muscle in my arms and legs, but by first glance I appear to be the stereotypical fatty. It comes in handy when trying to show off.

My great-grandfather uncle was a boxer and supposedly a European champion, and he was German and his mother forced him into the SS and after the war he was executed because the telegraph that proven his innocence(he even hid the partisans in his own house) arrived late

You should learn step over to Flash. My brother started animating sticks in Pivot and stepped over to flash animating. He has earned money with some of his stick animations. These were sponsored for about a 100 dollars each:

I remember coming across it on FP a few days back, forgot where though. It was just the plain song file, no video or anything.

Youtube gets me this:

I actually go onto stickpage, but the pivot section. And, I forgot to mention, Pivot helped me get a place at Teeside University for a Character Animation course (with art foundation year since I really need to learn how to draw better)

But, even if I end up working at disney or pixar, I'll still keep this little stickfigure program with me.

Did you ever frequent Darkdemon/Droidz? The animation style seems familiar to me.
Sticking to the thread:

I am quite hairy on my arms and legs in comparison to others my age. In fact when I was still in grade school I got the nickname "Sasquatch".

I am part-American and part-Icelandic.

When I was young I used to like playing The Sims. I got myself into a bunch of trouble when I asked my father what the word "hour" meant (presumably because I pronounced it as "whore", silly young me)

Yep. Waffles Mgee. I use the same avatar. (I'm intermediate)

I guess I've posted enough that I should say some more stuff about myself.

I'm Dyspraxic.

I've had an ingrown toenail for two years.

I have grey eyes that have been said to reflect colour (when I was a child, I scared my cousin once because they reflected red)

And I'm a lover of Terry Pratchett.

[twatbagg]

Most of my clothes are military surplus.
Nobody knows I'm from Birmingham because I don't have the accent.
I look exactly like my avatar.
I have cystic fibrosis.
I once bro-fisted every member of Jobforacowboy at a gig they were supporting.
I'm 5' 10''.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;44150257]Huh, we're opposites, I was born with a blocked tube to my right kidney.[/QUOTE]

You can borrow my extra ureter if you want. Just remember to give it back when you're done using it.

[Zes]

I'm distantly related to musician Andy McCoy, real name Antti Hulkko (we don't share a common last name). He's from Pelkosenniemi, which is very close to where I was born. My mom is Andy's mom's third cousin if I remember correctly, she did meet her at one point years ago. I've never met any of them myself, and I don't think I ever will.

This is probably not that interesting, but according to my mom, in 1990, when I was less than one year old we went to Stockholm on the MS Silja Star, which was later renamed MS Estonia. The ship sank in 1994 in the worst peacetime disaster on the Baltic Sea. Personally I find it weird to think about.

I collect, or rather "accumulate" old stuff in my apartment. I have a clock radio from late 80s I use daily as my alarm clock. I listen to C-cassettes weekly. I have a small collection of retro computers and consoles. My microwave is from 1989 and my TV is from 1992 (mostly because both were in the garage when I moved out and they worked, and I haven't had the money to replace them). Strangely enough, I prefer having this old stuff, and the only thing I keep somewhat up to date is my PC.

My dad was taught how to box by Rocky Marciano's brother
Rocky Marciano: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Marciano[/url]

Dad was raised in an all-black project with an alcoholic mum. Got picked on cause he was a quiet, skinny white kid. Had a gun pulled on him, took a board to the face, fought a 30~ year old dude, cause he kicked his son's ass. Fought in atleast 20 fights.
He only lost one fight- his first.

My dad SHOULD be either dead, in jail, or an alcoholic asshole, but is neither of these. He is the most honorable, humble, hard working, manly and funny guys I have ever met. If you can believe it, he's a perfect human being. Harbors no prejudices to any race, religion, gender or sexuality, thinks before he does or says ANYTHING. If he's made a mistake(extremely few and far between) he does everything under the fucking sun to fix it, and own up to it.

I feel extremely pressured because I have no idea as to how I am to be as great as this guy.

my thumb is double jointed

[EmperorScorpious]

I was ambidextrous up until the third grade when I finally became just right-handed.

I sometimes wonder if I practiced enough, I can go back to doing that, despite that being literally almost two decades ago.

[DeVotchKa]

I don't see why not. I was entirely right handed but just started using my left for stuff now it's kinda even. I'm also left eye dominant so that might have helped.

[Sockem]

I've never been attracted to anybody my entire life
But I still wonder...

[스카치 여우]

I hit a curb on my bike, flew several feet, then peeled my finger's skin on the concrete. Hurt like a bitch.

Fast forward several years, I decided to take a shortcut on this bike trail going through the tall grass. But that doesn't mean I knew there was a giant hole in the ground. I'm going really fast, then all of a sudden I do a 180 midair and landed head first. The ironic part is that I didn't even have one scratch or bruise.

[Magic Scrumpy]

I'm ambidextrous.

I have tritanopia.

I broke my left index finger, permanently twisting it counter-clockwise (if you are looking at it while pointing forwards)

[DokVis]

I am trying to be a game developer, but every time I try to work on a game, I scrap everything I worked on with in 3 or so weeks then start all over since I never like what I make.

[MrDemonic]

I have a few strands of hair near the front of my scalp that are white. Kinda a shit version of what Anna has in Frozen. It appeared last year and have no idea why.

[tigge]

I give away too much money. I wish i had that money.

Man, I didn't think this thread would get so many people. Guess Facepunch is a really special place.

I also have -11/10.5 vision. To put that into perspective, I can no longer have regular thickness lenses, or even slim lenses, I have to pay for super thin or even thinner when I get new glasses. Also opticians can't order lenses above -12, so if my eye sight continues to get worse (which it most likely will) I'll have to get custom ordered lenses via the NHS.

In case you're wondering, I'm literally blind without my glasses. Usually with short sightedness, there's a point where you can focus on things properly if they are close enough, that point is when the object is pretty much in my eye socket.
