Actually, "or something" is correct. I do not have a problem with posting some general personal information, but I do have this strange habit of randomly panicking and deleting the content of posts.

Yeah, it works if you are logged in (did for me at least), but doesn't appear to otherwise. Nagisa reminds me of someone, but I can't quite put my finger on who it is just yet. Hmm...

Fun facts about Mylene: Sometimes deletes posts before anyone can respond to them due to a strange personality quirk (very infrequently at ANN, but more frequently at other sites). Very frequently spends 30 minutes to 1 hour on a post, then intentionally doesn't press send.


I do that too, so you are not alone. Sometimes I'll post something off-kilter just for shock value and then delete it a few minutes later. I've gotten enough flack from the mods about my posts so anyone who was unfortunate enough to have caught my now extinct posts, I apologize. I'll usually write something and go ahead an post it and that's when my sanity filter kicks in and I'll either delete or edit something if I think it's going to cause someone to get upset.

Regarding personal information online, yes I am paranoid. Written information can be held against you more than vocal information which makes up normal IRL conversation. I avoid sharing that personal identifying info as much as possible. However the fact I don't post my picture in a public forum is for a very different reason.

Utilizing the template used by the lovely Bamboo (I like your name by the way, don't let the jokers get you down!) I'm adding in my stats. Although somehow I wonder if this is a wise move.

Name: Richard John Thompson
Age: 24 (25 this September 15th!)
Location: Statesboro, Georgia. Eventually a law school somewhere else.
Marital status: Very single. Anime cry
Occupation: College student, pre-law. Monetarily challanged at the moment.
Obsessions: World Domination! Twisted Evil (Well, really just 3 3/4 inch GI Joes and anime.)
Favorite sports: Not much of a sports person. I do like tennis, volly ball and dodge ball though.
Favorite foods: I'm a huge fan of rice. Also I'm a meatarian. I've never encountered any sort of meat that didn't taste great. Veal and medium rare grilled steak are favorites. Swordfish is also a treat, though I rarely get to enjoy it. A big plate of rice and a slightly bloody grilled steak is a heavenly meal.
Favorite drinks: Non alcoholic: Mixed fruit juices. Orange and pineapple combined is just delicious. Alcholic: Fruit based wines, especially apple wine.
Drinks: Occasionally and never to excess. I get mellow when I drink. Too much would put me in a coma. Anime smile + sweatdrop
Smokes: My lungs are very sensitive to smoke, so I couldn't even if I wanted to. I've never been around cigars though, so maybe it's just cigerettes and gas fumes that bother me.
Favorite TV shows: I've all but stopped watching live-action TV. Still, I love Battlestar Galactica.
Favorite anime: Gunslinger Girl, Koi Kaze, Rumbling Hearts, ROD the TV, Inuyasha, Someday's Dreamers, Strawberry Marshmallow and Hell Girl are some of my all time favorite series. (I have a lot of others that I love, but these are the top tier for various reasons.)
Favorite videogames: Ghoul School (NES), Ghostbusters (Genesis), Shadowrun (SNES), Parasite Eve I & II (PS1), Azure Dreams (PS1), BloodRayne 2 (PS2).
Fun facts: I write poetry and try to write novels (I can never seem to finish anything!) Also have written fan fiction but nothing anime yet. (Started some but didn't finish.)
Dislikes: People who want to censor things, people who do terrible things in the real world, and 96% of television commericals.
Pictures: Same as in the Answerman thread.

Any questions?

Alright alright, joke's over. I personally Zac had no intention on actually doing anything like that, just cracking jokes. Moving on now. Since Ariake and Nagisa have Fate Stay avatars maybe I should switch back to my Saber avatar. I also have an Archer one I could use. I do have a question for you Ariake. You said under your favorite sport it's Bid sniping. Were you talking about on eBay or am I just imagining things?

Here's one more fun fact about me, I hate bugs. I was swarmed by some horseflies as a kid and now I hate/fear almost all bugs. They just creep me out to holy hell. I also have a gay stalker. I figure after the cracks on the mods and such I'd throw that out there. His name is Anthony and he's Latino and dead set determined to get me into bed. Though I have no bloody clue why.

No he's not rich, he makes 13/hr as an assistant manager. He lives in an apt with his older, and even more flamboyantly gay (if that's even possible), brother. I met him through a mutual friend and ever since every few weeks I get a call asking me to go hang out with him. I actually have hung out with him before and he did actually once buy me dinner.

Yeah, I meant on eBay, but I really just meant it in a joking manner. Actually, I've never sniped a bid before, haha.

Me too! And I'm getting worse as I'm getting older. Also, I'm actually allergic to the bug I hate most (cockroaches ;_;). It's almost like destiny, like I was meant to fear cockroaches... or something.

Favorite Drink: Water. I'm serious.

Favorite Food: Thai Massaman Curry.


Water is my favorite drink too! Very Happy

I had Thai Massaman Curry while I was in Thailand. mmmmmmmmM! It was some good stuff. But to be honest, the only things I really liked eating there was the fruits. Holy crap it's like fruit paradise!! For the two weeks I been there, I mainly drank water and ate all the fruit I could get my hands on. Smile

A little tidbit about myself, is that I don't write elaborate bios of myself online. Mainly because I don't like to give away my preferences, what identifies me as me, etc. to so many strangers. So I hope the mods don't mind the one liners from my "about me" post.

Then I guess you'd go literally bonkers if you came to Colombia too. There are a bunch of fruits here that you wouldn't even imagine Anime hyper.

There, was that random enough?
