A friend of mine inspired me to write this, so I'll just go ahead and say 16 things about me. ~de arimasu

I'd love to see your versions too. ~de arimasu

Here we go... ~de arimasu

1. I must mention this before I forget xD... one of my most obvious "problems" is my lack of attention to what is happening around me. In fact, the building could be on fire and I wouldn't notice unless it was like REALLY obvious. That also contributes to the fact that I don't remember people's names easily (I need to ask them 2 or 3 times when they are already calling me by my name >.>). I forget where my keys are ALL the time. I forget my homework at home. I forget I left something in the kitchen getting burnt. I forget that I should be doing an important hw right now. And... I forgot the book I need to do my homework at the school (for real)... ~de arimasu

2. So, why am I so distracted? Think about it as me having a big imagination and being able to daydream all day long >.>... I could be talking to you and nodding to everything, and at the end of our conversation ask you "so what did you say again?"... ~de arimasu

3. I often talk to myself while doing whatever (and I answer myself too)... Oh, once I was in a place where people rent internet (a cyber-cafe, in Ecuador it is pretty common), and when I was about to leave the manager called me and told me to stop talking to myself like that since I was "scaring" customers. ~de arimasu

4. If you didn't know this by now... I love J-Music. It is just way different from whatever I could ever hear in the US or Ecuador, and in this case, different = awesome for me. ~de arimasu

5. My favorite bands (tied in first place) are L'Arc~en~Ciel and Los Iracundos. L'Arc~en~Ciel is a Japanese group from Osaka, currently on hiatus, but they've planned to return in 2011. Los Iracundos, in the other hand, is a group from Paysandú, Uruguay, and were pretty active from 1960-1994, when they released their last original album. Now you get the idea of my influences while composing =O ~de arimasu

6. Some people tell me that I laugh too much, while others ask me "why so serious?" all the time... who should I believe? Actually, I think that both of them are right. When I'm not doing anything involving people or I'm concentrated doing stuff (that means, I look so "serious"), people ask me "are you ok? you aren't depressed, aren't you?"... but I laugh pretty easily at lots of things (sometimes I get this weird look when I'm the only one who laughs at the bad joke of the teacher)... ~de arimasu

7. I HATE having to get a haircut. When I was in school I HAD to get a haircut like each month because of the rules and all that. Nowadays I get one every 5 months or so. I'm getting one this month (last one was in August). ~de arimasu

8. I started getting into web design just as a hobbie, when somebody stole my msn group from me. Now I'm doing a couple of different works here and there (including my school). And what if that person had not stolen that msn group? ~de arimasuka

9. I don't like hot weather a bit. Cold>Hot any day for me. My luck is that I get to live in a hot region of the country, however >.>. ~de arimasu

10. I've been using my hotmail account for 6 years now (since 2002). That is why, at the moment, my msn list holds 519 contacts, and usually between 30-50 of them are online every day. There are many people I have NO idea of who they are or where they came from xD ~de arimasu

11. I usually do things when I need to do them. Actually, that was a lie xD... I need constant pressure to remember to do something, but that is when I do it with the best quality =O ~de arimasu

12. I've visited 8 different countries in my lifetime: Ecuador (duh!), Uruguay (wow!), Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Brazil and of course the USA... xD ~de arimasu

13. For some reason, I don't like to take the easy way out of anything. I'm always taking on challenges that seem pretty difficult to manage (AP Chemistry, I'm looking at you!). While this may seem like a good thing (and it is!), sometimes it gets in my way when I need to do really simple stuff and I end up making it difficult, losing lots of time which I could use to play videogames >.> ~de arimasu

14. About videogames! I don't quite remember the first game I played (must've been Mario for the SNES), but my first system was the NES and 11 games that an uncle gave me (Punch Out!, Super Mario Bros 3, Mickey Mousescapade, Batman, Goal!, Days of Thunder, Dick Tracy, Peter Pan and the Pirates, Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout, and two others I can't remember) ~de arimasu

15. My favorite dessert is cheesecake... can't resist! Second place is the pumpkin pie (which I only get to eat on Thanksgiving >.>) ~de arimasu

16. I don't recall to this day having ever copied in an exam. I have, however, let other people copy from mine numerous times... is that as bad? =P ~de arimasu

-----------------------------------------------------

There you go. It's been a long blog, but I hope you enjoyed (?) reading it as much fun that it was to write it. ~de arimasu

No bragging about the band and all that today. ~de arimasu
