My family thinks I'm gay. But this is probably due to the fact that I'm a lesbian.

I'm a 16 year old. I sometimes do/say stupid things, that I make bad excuses for, but I'm trying to change my personality to become a generally cool, like-able person. If I do/say something stupid please call me out on it. My life is pretty cool. Right now I am in Chile. I am doing a foreign exchange student program for a year. I am originally from the US. It is a really cool experience because not only do I have a chance to change my personality completely, but I can also learn a new language and learn more about another culture. So far I think I am succeeding, it is harder to say dumb things in a language you not fluent in. (Although, I have already done things I regret on this forum.) Anyways, I was just saying all this because maybe a person here would want to look into it. The program that I am using, AFS, is quite good. I would strongly recommend doing this type of thing. Maybe I'll make a topic about it, but now more about me.

Movies
I like many different types of movies, but usually I like the comedy genre. A list of my favorites: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forums, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, V for Vendetta, Forest Gump, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Slumdog Millionaire, the first Pirates of the Caribbean, all of the Pink Panther movies, Rat Race original and new, The Longest Yard original and new, there are others for sure but I can't think of them all right now.

Books
The Redwall series when I was younger, The Harry Potter series, The Odyssey and Iliad, Artemis Fowl series, THE FOUNDATION SERIES <3, again there are many more, but I'm not going to bore you with a long list. I am a sucker for fantasy.

Games
Baldur's Gate II Shadows of Amn (such a good game...), every Final Fantasy game (Tactics didn't have that great of a plot line on the handhelds, but I still liked it), The Golden Sun series!!!!!!!!!!!, Shadow of the Colossus, Mario Tenis (Gameboy version), Dragon Warrior III (gameboy) !!!!!!!, Red Alert and Tiberium Sun series are great, PORTAL, N haha, and uhhh can't think of more right now.

School
I like World History, Algebra, Accounting, and Lunch. I get grades in the 90's without really trying that hard. I procrastinate a lot, this is one of the things I am trying to correct. I play the trombone and piano. Here in Chile, I am learning Spanish (obviously), but besides that I am mainly using the time to work on my physical appearance (working out and what not) and my social skills (I was a nerd in the US, but here I am really popular with the guys, and more importantly with the girls). I have to retake the year of high school that I am missing so I can concentrate on the aforementioned things. I really don't care about grammar. I'll probably make grammatical mistakes in my posts, but I don't really care as long as I am being understood.

My Theories About the Meaning of Life
This is too big to put here. Maybe if I organize my thoughts enough, I will make a topic.

My Personality
Well as I said, I am working to make myself the person I want to be, but I think that overall I am a friendly, down to earth guy. I think at times I can be immature (working on it) and lazy. (working on that too) If you get to know me, you will probably like me.

My Maps
I think they are pretty good, but obviously I am jaded. You are always free to play them, and give your opinion on them though. :)

Food
I love food. I always like trying new things. This is one subject that I am really interested in, and I am more serious about this. I love to cook and to eat. Some of the more interesting things I have tried are snail and horse. I love Dim Sum! Pork Buns are great. I love all types of food. Vegetables are not my favorite thing, but if they are prepared right they too are delicious. I could go on and on about my love for food, but I'll spare you.

Travel
I like to travel. I have been all over Europe, Canada, China, New Zealand, Fiji, Australia, Costa Rica, and Chile. I actually spent 14 months traveling Europe with my family. We saw almost every country, but that is a really long story.
Well that is a lot about me. I doubt many people will read it, but whatever.

Hi, I'm lactose3. I joined these forums after having completed the first column in N.

Spoiler, clicky clicky

Pink is a horrible motivational first colour to be rewarded with. I mean, seriously?PINK? It's as if the authors wanted me to just give up then and there. TACKY.

So as you can tell by the spelling of one of the words in the spoiler, I'm Canadian, originally from Russia (I moved at around the age of 4).

I read copious amounts of Chris Ware, Chester Brown, Jeff Brown, and Stephen King. I have a special T-rex shaped place in my heart for Ryan North's Dinosaur Comics.

As of this writing I haven't posted a single map on the n map site, have no avatar, and no signature, and I think I'm up to five posts after this.

I just saw the film Death Proof. Wan't that April March song by the end credits catchy? Quentin Tarantino is a personal fav when it comes to film directing.

I don't watch much TV but get lots of DVDs rented. I own a 360, but can't be bothered to pay for XBox live or many games altogether. The 360 was a gift. My PC isn't the best and so I play lots of indie games as well as old games like Half Life.

Thanks for tuning in!

This past Halloween, my friend held a zombie-themed party at his house, and our friend Sam came as an undead redneck; Lynyrd Skynyrd T, sleeveless denim jacket, mullet, and steel-toe boots. Long story short, he accidentally shoved his boot right into my big toe, full-force, effectively thrusting the nail of said toe about ½ of an inch into the toe-meat, as well as squashing the nail as to push about ¼ of an inch into the sides. It hurt instantaneously, of course, but I shrugged it off.

When I got home, I took my shoe off to examine, and my sock was completely red. I removed the sock, saw the damage that had been done, turned the shower on, and got to work. I spent thirty minutes painstakingly, and painfully, carving out shards of nail from flesh (which, at this point, was basically ground beef) with a nail catcher. Also, if you've never dealt with a dead toenail that's had a good five hours to ferment/rot, it basically becomes a cesspool of disgusting pus and infection, though it's hard to tell, as you can't see through the nail's pitch-black shade. In order to deal with that problem, I tried to cut the nail, but, not only was it too difficult to pry the clipper under the nail, but the nail itself took on an impenetrable form that I can only describe as some sort of gelatinous diamond. Luckily, squeezing the toe as hard as I could drained a good bit of that funk, which oozed out in a glorious black, yellow, and purple. This couldn't have been the most efficient method, however, as the amount of pain it put me in caused me to lose my breath completely, and to black out for an amount of time I've yet to determine.

When I came to, I had just enough energy to finish scraping the final bits of nail shrapnel (which were probably the worst, as they had somehow adhered to the flesh, and usually managed to come out with a piece of bloodied meat that was twice as large as the piece of nail itself), and crawl into the shower. Thankfully, after thirty minutes of doing breathing exercises as steaming hot water poured over me, I managed to come out okay. I didn't regain feeling in my toe for about a week, however.

And that's why they call me Yahoozy Guacamole.

Hello
Age: 18
Livin' in: Belgium - more specifically, Belgium (it's fucking small).
What I like: Music, see below. If you count a day with 24 hours, you distract 8 hours of sleep, then you have 16 hours. Of those 16 hours, I'm atleast 15 hours busy in some way or another with music, so yeah, it's pretty important for me.
Plans for Uni: I'm doing conservatory. I play the saxophone there, which is a pretty awesome instrument.

Hey brainbabe, good to see we didn't scare you away from the community n_n

I don't think much people know me (they may know of me though) so I'll post here:

Name: Chris
Age: 16
Location: UK (bournemouth to be precise)
Music: Anything really, though I most often listen to dubstep and breakcore (or their mutant child "raggacore")
Books: Asimov, Lovecraft, Bester, and anything gloomp recommends (House of leaves was damn good)
Films: Too many to list. Art house to horror, Anime to Russian sci fi (solyaris).
I'm taking A levels at the moment: Maths, ICT, History and English literature.
I hope to study english literature at uni (oxford or cambridge (fingers crossed)).
Then I'll probably apply for the JET programme.

So that's me.

You can take that up by PM'ing one of our four beautiful Admins. Ahaha, who am I kidding? They're only relatively pretty at best.

[SlappyMcGee]

You should have PM'd us, we can change email addresses. But, I will delete the old account.

Thanks. And sorry D:.
