You guys...
I actually really like the community on this site, though I really don't take that much part in it. I think this site might have helped me, or if any thing might have helped me get through the "depression" I was in last year it was while I was on this site. Coincidences, coincidences still I appreciate this community and all and I want to get to know the people on it better or at least people I haven't talked to. So it'd be cool if you guys left a comment telling me bout yourselves. Yea, spur of the moment thing but I'm really antisocial so here we go!

hm...
I'll go, but not first. I'll embarrass myself if I go first. I'll edit this after someone else goes. Sorry, but I'm really, really bad at this sort of thing...
EDIT: Okay, so here I go. Come on, Magic Fantastic, you gave me a hard act to follow. But I promised.
I'm a random gajindiak who can never decide what music I like, I love oranges and orange juice. I argue pretty well, but MacAvity can still win an arguement with me. My teachers all either love or hate me because I often refuse to go along with the curriculum in somewhat interesting ways, while still managing to get all A's. What else...yes. I'm a synesthete, I get colors with letters/numbers, smells, and sometimes sounds. I've never been able to decide on a favorite color, and my favorite numbers are 0 and 9, 9 because it's just a really cool number and 0 because it's nothing, yet without it no other number would mean anything. I love birds and the ocean. I chase pigeons through Boston just for the sake of getting odd looks. Yep, that's me, sorry if I'm a pathetic mini-autobiographer.
Nice to meetcha!
I also love the Ocean but I have to say that birds and me have never realy had a good relationship! A synesthete? That is pretty cool. Haha chasing pigeons through Boston evokes pretty interesting images.
I'm sure it does.
Do you REALLY know what a synesthete is? If so, you're the first person I've ever 'talked' to who did without my explaining. I'm so sad, only 2 people posted intros here. I was hoping there'd be one worse than mine... Nice to meet you, too!
Yep, read an article about it once!
Aw really? haha well your intro wasnt bad!
I knew! (Sorry, had to
I knew! (Sorry, had to boast...)
Yay for Musicalchef and MacAvity!
For that, you each get 1,000,004 exceedingly colorful bonus points that also smell and sound nice.
I'm Magic Fantastic I always
I'm Magic Fantastic
I always fall in love, with everything and everyone
Imagination is more beautiful with reality
Synthesis between imagination and reality is even more so
Sharing this synthesis with another is perfection
Creating a narrative around it becomes immortal.
My favorite animal is the fox
My favorite color is white
(This may or may not have been a proper introduction, I'm sorry)
It was an awesome intro actually!
Nice to meet you Magic Fantastic! I actually really like the way you wrote your introduction, very poetic.
I AM SUPER DUCK. Hear me roar. :D
- I'm 16
- My favorite color is purple, but I also like pink and blue
- My natural habitat is in my room, ranting on the internet or playing old video games
- I am in a constant state of daydreaming
- The sound of vacuum cleaners makes me want to curl into a ball and die
Vacuums?
You made me laugh. I'm like that with blowdryers and, at night, printers.
Also, to add to mine, which is something random I thought of: I have a phobia of the Birdo character from Mario etc. She looks like a giant pink blowdryer, and to me it seems like she'd be able to do the Dementor's Kiss. Eeeeeh. At least I'm not like my friend, who's afraid of bananas due to a kindergarten nightmare.
Oh vacumns.
VRWOOOOOHHH : The noise they make reminds me of
Ha nice to meet you! Daydreaming is a great way to spend time!
:D
Are you checking this for new intros like every 10 minutes? Why don't we get an intro from you, Musicalchef? Hmm?
Pshaaw funnyflyby
I could say the same for you haha. But yes, I should introduce myself!
I'm Ana, or Musicalchef whatever
I love unusual colors and my favorite color usually changes every time. I'm a chocaholic, I love chocolate so I'm always shocked when people dont like it.
I'm a sophmore in Highschool, still fifteen and really into Art and athletics (Mostly track/XC) I travel a lot, but only to Mexico and Cuba so far I really love to travel... Yes, and City's . They're the best! Nice to meet you all!
Not Guilty.
I've only been checking every 15 minutes. Nice to meet you, too. I remember my old babysitter hated chocolate... funny the things that make an impression on small children.
I would have gone parent
I would have gone parent trapon that lady. No babysitter of mine would dis like chocolate :D
I....
Am MacAvity.
Am a nerd, dwelling in a nerd cave with a computer, some books, a few houseplants, and my avian familiar.
Travel the world in search of memories, wisdom, and weird toilets.
Find skulls fascinating and beautiful, and have over fifty of them in my personal collection.
Dico linguam Latinam quod altam videtur.
Don't really know what I am or where I'm going or which way the river's flowing.
Can look at this silhouette and see her spinning anticlockwise, then blink, or look away, and look back and see her spinning clockwise:
Hmm...
What's with that anyway? It's happening to me, too, and I don't see how it could change direction like that.
I notice yours is basically a bonus edition of your profile-biography-thing. Mine is so bad, I should just link it to this page. You know what, I will do that right now.
Because the silhouette is
Because the silhouette is pure black, it is left up to the brain of the viewer to interpret which direction she is spinning. When the right side of the brain is engaged, she spins clockwise; when the left side is engaged, she spins anticlockwise. You and I can switch quickly between our right brains and left brains; most people cannot. The ability to switch is linked either to intelligence, or to ambidexterity, or both. Right-handed people tend to be predominantly left-brained, and left-handed people tend to be predominantly right-brained, so it makes sense that the ambidextrous would have more equal uses of the two hemispheres. Conveniently, each hemisphere controls a different kind of intelligence: the logical, mathematical, scientific in the - shucks, I can't remember.... But the point is, ambidextrous people probably have a bit of an advantage in the IQ department because of their ability to switch between right brain and left. Not that all ambidexters are smarter than everybody else, don't get me wrong, just that we have a bit of an advantage.
Oh.
That makes sense. I was just watching it, and suddenly it switches mid-spin. It seems to usually be in one direction, but as soon as I know which direction I look again and it's the other way. That's interesting.
EDIT: Finally! I got the link on my profile to work!
A collection of skulls
A collection of skulls sounds quite intersting. I really enjoy drawing and I actually really like drawing skulls or bones gbecause they have great value. Haha anyway, nice to meet you Mcavity, I like your user name by the way.
Bah.
I, so far later, am disappointed with those of you who didn't participate! Something to hide? Hm?
This is also a check to see who uses the Recent Posts and who won't notice because you only look at the Recent Journals on the title page :)
So... hm...

This post is a bit old, so
This post is a bit old, so it may be defunct, but I thought I'd introduce myself anyway. :)
I'm Rhyme, and I'm 17.
I live in Oregon. Yes, it rains here a lot, except for in July and August.
I love the outdoors and going on hikes and camping (even though I've only been once.)
I love to read, but I am kind of picky about what; I like modern fiction and Arthur Conan Doyle.
I love Harry Potter.
I am also kind of a nerd; I read Sparknotes articles for fun and listen to wizard-rock (Oliver Boyd and the Rememberalls are my favourite.)
I am vegetarian. I have been for 4 years.
I enjoy cooking and trying new foods.
I have a passion for languages, but so far I can only speak French (badly, as Magic Fantastic knows) and a few phrases in German and Japanese. One day, I'd like to be able to speak Irish.
I'm drawn towards a pagan path of faith, but for the time being I don't practice anything.
I love drawing, and crafts in general. I'm teaching myself how to knit.
My favourite colour is olive green, or maybe maroon.
I enjoy watching Doctor Who and Merlin.
I like webcomics, particularly The Less than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal, Girls with Slingshots and Hanna is Not a Boy's Name
Hello, Rhyme!
As I highly doubt Musicalchef will notice...
Hello, Rhyme! Nice to meetcha!
Yes, I am a Recent Posts user! I will not miss these things!
