Well, this is interesting, huh? My first blog post in months and it's only because StarFox-Elite pimp-slapped, sorry, tagged me to do this "5 Things You didn't Know" thing. I suppose I owe you guys an apology. The reason I haven't been active in all this time is due to two simple words: Xbox 360. I am literally glued to this stupid console every second of every day. (Well, when I'm not doing schoolwork or when I'm at work. I have priorities. ) On the upside, my Gamerscore is now over 6000, that's awesome! Well, I guess I should go ahead and get started on this, shall I?

#1: I can't stand loud noises
Lemme explain this one. I know plenty of people don't like loud noises, but I literally cannot take them. I think I have some kind of mental condition (I haven't gotten a professional opinion, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is) that makes it so loud, sudden noises upset me. Sounds like dogs barking, babies screeching, hell, even balloons popping can almost make me collapse to the ground in a ball weeping. Every time I'm in a situation where I think loud noises are immanent, my fingers immediately go to my ears. And this always confuses people around me, who are like, "What are you doing? Is there something wrong with your ears?" So I either just change the subject or flat-out don't answer.

#2: I'm bisexual
I'm unsure as to the reactions this will bring. I'll either get, "Whoa! I had no idea!" or "Ha! I freakin' knew it!" But yes, as it currently stands, I am bi. Don't know if it's just one of them "teenage phases" I'm going through, or if it's actually the case. But to be honest, I don't really care. I'm just gonna let the chips fall, as it were, and see what happens. I will say this much, though. I do want to, one day, marry a woman and start a family. It seems like something programmed in my head I need to get done at some point. But who I date before then will certainly vary.

#3: I have never had a romantic relationship
Frankly, I'm surprised myself at this. I'm 17, but I have never had a girlfriend or boyfriend. Hell, I've never even been kissed before. Ah, well. You can't really blame me, though. I'm actually very shy, and I've been homeschooled for going on 4 years now, so I rarely leave the house! However, I have met a guy, and we are seriously talking about dating. So wish me luck on that!

#4: I hate scary movies, but I love scary games
You could assemble all of the most brilliant scientific minds of our generation and lock them in one room for a month, and I can guarantee they'll never be able to figure out why the hell I can't watch scary movies, but can play scary games. I don't even know why this is! The only way you could get me to watch a scary movie is if you restrained me and pryed my eyelids open a la Clockwork Orange. But the second you tell me there's a new scary game on the market, I'm already half-way to the store to pick up a copy. Seriously, I have no freakin' idea why this is! I should probably not play so many scary games, because even though it's been months since I've played them, I still have nightmares about Condemned: Criminal Origins and F.E.A.R. And now that Condemned 2 is out, I'm gonna wind up playing that. So if I rent it and disappear for a long time, just know I'm not playing it, but I've locked myself in my room and refuse to come out!

#5: I own over a dozen movie posters
I don't mean those wimpy-ass posters you buy at Wal-Mart for $5-$8. I'm talking honest-to-God, official, what you see hanging in the theaters, movie posters. Apparently, one of the perks of my little job at our little local theater is that I am allowed to take, for free, any of our old movie posters for the movies we get. We get a movie, we get the poster, and when the movie comes out on DVD, we still have the posters. So my manager lets everyone who works there take any posters for movies that we either got and gotten rid of, or are already out on DVD. The night after I found this out, I made off with over a dozen posters, including those for I Am Legend, Land of the Dead, 28 Weeks Later, The Brave One, and Spider-Man 3. Now every time a movie comes out I want to see, and I like, I'll be like, "Oh, yeah.... That poster's going up on my wall by the week's end."

Well, that does it for this blog. I hope you've learned a little bit more about your furry friend here. Now would be the time I would usually say I'm sorry I haven't been that active and promise to come on more. But frankly, I just can't promise that as long as this 360 is still in my possession! So all I can really say, is, I'm lucky to even get on the computer any more at all! Well, I'll see ya when I see ya, I guess!
