Know Yourself

Keri · 09-11-2006, 10:16 AM

This is the perfect opportunity to get more of a community feel to the Eliza board...

So.. I want to know about you! Tell us all five things about you that have nothing to do with Eliza

I'll go first:

I have a cat called Mouse.

When I was little I tried to tightrope walk from the top of my climbing frame to the top of the swing using skipping ropes and my natural flair for balance. Needeless to say a hospital visit was required.

I am addicted to Everquest 2.

I am frightened of clowns and drowning. Hopefully I'll never be drowned by a clown then...

When I press Ctrl and V together on my keyboard I get http://www.lost-theory-generator.com/

Next please!

Prison Break has just overtaken Lost as my favourite show, but only until Veronica Mars comes back

Is that some kind of bearded dog that plays practical jokes on you?

Sorry Simon, couldnt resist

Keri · 09-11-2006, 12:34 PM

Hahaha... I didn't even notice!

Just PM'd you about shared addictions Ben

See how much we are learning already?

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 09-11-2006, 01:05 PM

hahaha, nice one ben

to good an opportunity to miss

M@tt · 09-11-2006, 01:33 PM

I have a goldfish named Jake. He likes scraping along the bottom of the fish tank for no apparent reason.

I've only been abroad once and that was as a child to Portugal.

I'm quite obssessed with James Bond at the moment. There was a Bond season on ITV4 that finished a few weeks ago, with that and buying some of the new DVDs... AND reading the books, it's become a little extreme. In fact, I'm going be so tired of him by the time Casino Royale is released, I really should stop.

I have a weird phobia of blood. I've passed out twice from it, once watching a medical documentary, the second time reading about AIDs being transferred through the blood. It's weird because other times blood doesn't phase me whatsoever, like a few weeks ago on the Ultimate Fighter reality show, a fighter was cut real badly, real badly. It was literally like someone turned on a tap and it was flowing out of his forehead. Didn't affect me at all and yet if you're a doctor wanting to take my blood, I'll be freaking out like there's no tomorrow.

When I press Ctrl and V together on my keyboard I get... my password for the forum. Uh huh.

**andrew r** · 09-11-2006, 01:54 PM

Well okay here goes....

When I was a kid at school, I looked after the classes hamester. He was called Darth Vader.

Like paranormal and weird stuff. Guess watching the X-Files is to blame for that.

Love spicy food

The Simpsons is one of my favourite shows. Homer and the Comic Book Guy being my favourites.

That's all for now....

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 09-11-2006, 01:59 PM

i will post more about myself soon also .

**andrew r** · 09-11-2006, 02:08 PM

Well you could explain the boots thing....

Glasgow Girl · 09-11-2006, 02:17 PM

Ah Know Yourself, love it, totally reminds me of Aisleyne. Anyway...

I'm loving dance music at the moment which is just wierd!! (Dancing in the Dark rocks).

I was at work in my bowling club job from 10.30am till 1am on Saturday.

I bought Justin Timberlake's album today and wanted The Fratellis album but it was sold out.

My favourite TV Shows are Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars, I can't choose just one.

I went to bed at 8.30pm last night

Keri · 09-11-2006, 05:01 PM

Yay Kim

I was hoping you'd spot the Aisleyne reference and get drawn back in. 8.30pm eh? Anything special? *wiggles eyebrows*

We seem to have a lot of pet goldfish on this board. All head over to Whatever and help Simon with his goldfish problem please

lovely_disaster · 09-11-2006, 09:24 PM

my turn!

i have 2 cats that are overweight (25 to 30 pounds each) named jasmine and jellybean

ever since watching the movie mozart and the whale, i've had a HUGE obsession with autism and just want to keep learning more and more about it.

when i grow much older, i hope to become an FBI agent

im hispanic :P

and.....i badly want a chinchilla!

Aphrodite · 09-12-2006, 02:48 AM

Be warned everyone, I LOVE to talk about myself.

1. I'm a bit of a chameleon. I'm always changing myself and in the past 10 years I've gone from tomboy to goth to Spice Girl/Madonna wannabe to raver and all the way around to a Pacific Sunwear girl despite the fact that I neither surf nor skate.

2. I grew up in Chicago and I still say the word POP when referring to carbonated beverages which makes anyone who isn't from the Midwest either laugh or get into an argument with me about whether or not it is pop or soda. IT IS POP!

3. I am a theatre major at a college in Southern California and I am hopefully graduating this year!

4. I just recently purchased a hookah the other day, yet I have no idea how to actually use it yet.

5. My birthday is in two weeks and I'm throwing a costume party for it. My roommate and I are going to be the Egyptian goddesses Bast and Sekhmet. We're making our own costumes since we discovered when we made Ren Faire costumes that I am an awesome designer and she is an awesome seamstress. I'd invite you all if you didn't live hundreds of miles away!

Keri · 09-12-2006, 05:33 AM

It is POP yes *nods* Sometimes even fizzy pop

And what the hell is a hookah? Or is that a typo?

Aphrodite · 09-12-2006, 05:51 AM

Alright! Another one for team pop!

Haha, no, I didn't mean hooker! Hookah is a middle eastern smoking device that's really popular around here. For more info, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah There are a lot of hookah bars around where I live where you basically go in and there's a bunch of hookahs set up and you all smoke in a group. It's pretty fun. I wonder if Eliza ever does it, I could totally see her digging the hookah.

Keri · 09-12-2006, 05:57 AM

Ohhh like a bong?

09-12-2006, 06:00 AM

Its definately 'pop', 'soda' is something you put in whiskey

...and round here hookahs are called 'Hubbly-Bubblies'
