I sleep with a teddy.

I actually like two songs by Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus

My first computer was made of cardboard.

I had over 30 NES/Famicoms/Famiclones

I'm ~~not~~ passive-aggressive.

Your turn... whoever

1) If I won the lottery multiple times, I'd be like Frank Miller's "God Damn" Batman living in an Antarctic Bat Cave so I don't have to pay for air conditioning.

2) I used to be proud of wearing hot and stuffy and way uncomfortable Superman Pajamas going to sleep.

3) I find stalking to be therapeutic.

4) I like sleeping outside randomly with nothing but the stuff I'm carrying when I find myself late at night outside. (btw I live in an urban environment)

5) I keep meeting women who want to dominate the world...and I keep getting a crush on them even if it's starting to become old and cliche.

(1) I'm a huge Hannah Montana fan. I know every lyric and can put the 8-year old girl next door to shame. Don't judge me!!!

(2) I'm the luckiest man in the world. I married my best friend from college. We're still crackin' jokes and leaning on each other 27 years later. I owe it all to my Dad. When I asked if I should marry her, he said, "Boy, you're not going to find another one as good as [Renee]. You'd better marry her!" I did, but not before I made her ask my dad for my hand in marriage. She did! He said, "Hell, please take him!" A lot of people marry for love and fall out of love, then split. I married someone I like and cared for. You can learn to love almost anyone, but that doesn't mean you'll like them.

(3) I love cold weather. My room stays at 50F/10C much of the year. If I could, I'd live on the north side of Norway.

(4) I'm the guy who feeds all the stray cats in the neighborhood.

(5) I suffer from crippling headaches, which in turn makes me a classic manic-depressive. I'll be in bed for 1-3 days at a time, but once I'm up, I have extraordinary mental energy for as long as 32 hours. However, the pain is so bad, I fear I will die. But in my dreams I die of suffocation. My eyesight is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Don't know if that's connected. Went to two doctors, they wanted to prescribe viagra. WTF!

Well, I'm truly sorry to learn about the headaches.

There is, however, item 2) and you do also say "I'll be in bed for 1-3 days at a time".

If you give me a word, I can almost instantly reply with the alphabetized set of letters in the word.
I always count the number of steps in a every staircase. I tell myself it's for safety, just in case the lights go out. But I think that, in combination with #1, it's really a symptom of OCD.
I have lost count of the number of speeding tickets I've gotten in my life (of 42 years). I think it's somewhere above 30. (But the only accident I've ever had was when I was 16).
Right now I'm making my own yogurt.
I like to watch bad horror movies. They may be lousy, but they're a sort of art form.

I LIKE TURTLES!

While I primarily listen to brutal metal and evil industrial, I do have a pretty varied music taste - and even attend raves in the woods when it's summer.
I'm also a stair-counter, to the extent that I sometimes can't focus on conversation while walking on stairs.
I really enjoy cooking and I'm OK at it - although I'll always downplay my skills face-to-face.
I almost never watch movies when I'm alone, I always get caught up procrastinating on the internet instead.
I often take the path of least resistance.

I get HORRIBLE migraines, to the point of literally screaming in my sleep and waking myself up (the sleep is my attempt to get them to go away, and I have one right now in fact).
I can go from sitting down and sleepy to jumping up and down for no apparent reason, at any given time.
I still collect my Pokemon!!!
I have this massive love of the color blue. Blue computer, blue mouse LEDs, blue keyboard LEDs, blue speaker power LED, blue monitor power LED, and in most games I'll buy anything if it is blue.
Like my dad, I'll count random items - example: if there is a garage door I am looking at, I'll start counting the number of decorative boxes or whatever on the thing - even though I already know how many there are, I do it anyways. Same with walking. I used to look down and make sure that I stepped an even number of steps in any given concrete "section", even if I looked like an idiot.
The last time I went outside voluntarily, I was with a group of friends that described my appearance outdoors as "strange", "rare" and "random". Be that as it may, I think it was already highlighted by my "Geek Squad" shirt.

I could go on and on, but those 5 came to me the quickest. Oh, I like flip-flops, too.

1. I'm addicted to fabulist literature

2. I think Neil Gaiman's Sandman is a great work of fiction, even if it is a graphic novel

3. I can come up with a decent original bass line for anything

4. The first woman I ever had a major crush on was Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in The Avengers.

(mmm...those sexy-brainy English-types <sigh!>)

5. If someone were to offer me the chance to go to Mars or another planet (but with only 1 chance in 3 of surviving the trip) I'd still go in a heartbeat.

6. I often enjoy disregarding written instructions.

Dealer's choice.

However, in the immortal words of Bilbo Baggins to Gandalf in the movie version of The Fellowship of the Ring

...I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin...sort of stretched. Like butter scraped over too much bread.

I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return.

In fact, I mean not to!

40hz, don't go into outer space.
What if you get caught in a black hole?
Then you'll really know the meaning of 'feeling stretched'!

You guys love horror movies like I love Sci-Fi movies. The only sci-fi movie I couldn't finish despite two tries was Stranded (2002). Why Vincent Gallo was allowed to walk away from that performance alive I don't know. That was a crime against nature, it was that bad.

More than anything, I love seeing people cast against type in sci-fi movies. Sean Connery in Outland, for example, and it turned out to be very good.

When I was about 3 or 4 years old, I had an ABC book that went like this:

A is for apple.
B is for boy.
C is for cookie.
D is for duck.
E is for elephant.
F is for fish.*
G is for girl.
H is for hat.
I is for ice cream.
J is for jam.
K is for kitten.
L is for lamb.
M is for mittens.
N is for nut.
O is for owl.
P is for puppy.
Q is for queen.
R is for rooster.
S is for scissors.
T is for truck.
U is for umbrella.
V is for violin.
W is for wagon.
X is for xylophone.
Y is for yarn.
Z is for zebra.

*When I got to this page, I always whispered this or quickly turned the page without saying a word, because you weren't supposed to say the F word, because it was a bad word. In fact, it was such a bad word that I took a black crayon and scribbled out the page, so nobody else could read it, either.

2

There have only been 4 people in my life that I have truly loved with all my heart:

my grandmother*
my father
my brother*
my daughter

These 4 people, there is nothing they could ever do that I could not forgive, no matter what it was or how much it hurt me. They are the only 4 I would be willing to give my life for.

*My grandmother died when I was 14, and my brother died 12 years ago. I never got over either one of their deaths and probably never will. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about either one of them, at least once.

I haven't really watched TV since 2003. Every time I try, it gets interrupted by a commercial and I end up leaving the room and forgetting to come back and continue watching whatever it was that captured my interest for that 10 minutes before the commercial break.

4

Whenever it snows at night, I get an uncontrollable urge to go walking in it...alone. The worse the snow storm, the stronger the urge. Once the sun comes up and other people start putting their footprints in the snow, the urge quickly passes. At that point, I hate snow. This all started when I was around 10 years old. I can remember climbing out onto the roof outside my bedroom window at night whenever it snowed...and I only thought about it and got the urge to do that when it snowed.

My first crush was Spock.

I have actually been driven home (forcefully) by the police in my town on more than one occasion, for being the "crazy lady" out for a leisurely stroll at 4am during a blizzard.
