1) I'm a student and only drink a couple of pints of expensive ale when I go out.
2) Listening to Prog automatically makes me weird according to my friends (who either listen to (c)rap, dance or indie *shudders*)
3) I once fell asleep listening to Van Der Graaf Generator, I still haven't recovered.
4) My Fashion sense is.... erm interesting (leather jacket, cargo trousers, longish curly hair, mustache)
5) I'm studying motorsport engineering (we're considered some of the strangest students within the engineering department)

1) When I eat spaghettios I take off my shirt so I don't get a stain on it as I did once before I left to see Rush.

2) When I microwave something for a minute, I type in 60 seconds to the microwave.

3) I hate marinara sauce, but everytime I get motzerella sticks I dip one in in case they give me pizza sauce by accident.

4) When walking with a group of friends up or down stairs, I always have to walk in the back.

5) I take practice LSATS for fun when they're made available at my university. I have no interest in Law School.

Okay, I'm kinda improvving this, but here goes, they may not be that weird, who knows:
 

1. I make "music" with weird sound effects (see at www.myspace.com/doctor13)

2.I've never gone out with, kissed, or even hugged a girl

3. I once performed a joke skit that consisted only of me saying "existentialism" and "I am bohemia" whilst my friends did strange body movements and finally we all dropped to the ground. It was in front of a bunch of 12 year olds and their parents.

4.I can fall asleep to almost any style of music, even Opeth

5. I cannot think of more, sorry that I have a lame, boring life
      I have a comment for you: leave the computer and go hunt girls until one of them let you catch her.

 

My biggest problem: no opportunities. There isn't a single girl that will talk to me in the whole damned school, even if I try to, they'll make like a minute of small talk then ignore me.


Computer is causing all this. Your social skills will suffer more and more each day. Save yourself.

Hmm...I don't really know what's weird about me other than I like crazy prog muzak. Confused
 
I guess:
 
1) I've never broken any bones, just one minor fracture that required a minor splint.
2) I introduced my friend to Kamelot and Dragonforce (not a good plan).
3) I am highly intrigued by the stock market and will probably put in a good $30,000 bucks in 10 yrs time, hopefully. Let it ride til I'm 50 for an early retirement. Cool
4) I enjoy studying history yet also keeping up with current technology
5) Umm...I don't really know
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

hmmm... I'll have a stab at this ... though not sure if I can come up with five things...

1. have a crooked nose that I broke playing tennis (or was it a barfight) and never had set... 
2. no secret but a professed love for some rather un-prog like music such as Streisand, Willie Nelson, and gasp... disco, new-wave, or some hair metal.... but especially old love songs from the 60's and 70's..those songs could really say what you really can't or are unable to say..
3. have a Rickenbacker bass fetish...  have owned many over the years... now currently own just two:   Margaret.. a Fire Glow McCartney 4001 reissue (those pickups are worth the additional $1500 over a standard 4003) and Alexandra ( a 91 4003 who is currently being refinished to a custom color... forest glow.. a green sunburst).  They are the joys of my life ahhahha
4. no surprise again... an aspiring comedian who bombed in his one moment in the spotlight...  thank goodness I was too wasted to remember much of it LOL
5. within a year or one semester of degrees in 3 different subjects yet I never finished... go figure...  though I think I'm going to next year.. ready to do something different..... I bore easily

I have a theory about life that everything on this earth is part of my immagination, and I am forced, (for now), to live with it.
 
I like school, and learning.
 
When in doubt, I ask myself, "Would Jon Anderson do that?"
 
I never drink the bottom of a glass of liquid, don't ask, it's just some weird habbit.
 
I don't believe in "matching" my apparell, or trying to impress with my style of clothing. - This one might not seem that wierd to us, but to my non-prog friends....

mostly, i am weird about my clothes... i only wear jeans..
i only have two pairs of them and never buy a new one until one or the other is completely unwearable... also,
i only wear t-shirts with no prints on them, plain colour, i never owned sun glasses or camera...
my desktop is plain blue, i hid the desktop items and the taskbar so that when you turn on my PC you think it can't boot... also, you need two passwords to log in...
i have an excel file with all my collection of cds and mp3s, sth like an archive, chronologically, by the total of every band's/artist's releases and the frequency of total releases of each year...

now, if you'll excuse me, i'll go wear my white jacket and go back to the big white house with pillows on the walls...

TBH, I'd have a harder time finding 5 normal things about me. But anyway, here goes:

1. I know more about classic 50s-80s British comedy than most people who lived through those decades (I'm 20).
2. I can't go outside without my bowler hat.
3. My writing looks like this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36726136/
4. I have an irrational obsession with dodos.
5. My fingers bend much further backwards than nature intended.
