Well, the meme bug has bitten again! But this time it’s 25 things instead of seven. Here we go…

1) I’m an avid Linux user and have been since Redhat 4.2, which I think was released in ’96
2) I can bring my arms from in front of me to behind me without parting my hands
3) I did beastly things as a child, such as turning lawnmowers upside down and throwing frogs at the whirring blades.
4) I also used to make elaborate snail races and obstacle courses. How did I make the snails compete? Salt for the track markings.
5) I find extreme amounts of fictional gore hilarious
6) I’ve been playing roleplays for quite a long time too. I play D&D mostly but find I enjoy White Wolf’s offerings much more and rather enjoy Shadowrun too.
7) I’m incredibly lazy, though I prefer to think of myself as ‘efficient’, littlest effort, maximum gain and all that. I can’t remember a thing. People, places, events, what I was talking about in the middle of a conversation. I’m terrible, what am I writing about again?
9) I’m normally very hard to rile up, being the embodiment of calm.
10) During a rather nasty incident, I kicked and door and damaged the hinges in blind rage while trying to get to someone so I could kill them. Two people needed to hold me back.
11) The same incident involved me and some others running away from home, but it lasted all of an hour or so before one my fellow runaways got hungry. It turns out people at gas stations get concerned about a bunch of children turning up at 3am.
12) I’m messy and my desk looks like a landslide of paper.
13) Ironically, despite my messiness I really like minimalism.
14) I can digest metal and glass
15) I have 2 more ribs than most people.
16) I once cracked my head open on a rocking horse when I was a kid and still have the scar.
17) My long hair and beard are mostly the result of the aforementioned laziness rather than a concerted effort to look this way.
18) I have size 13.5 feet, quite narrow and can’t wear anything but boots because anything else always seems to cut up my feet.
19) When I don’t wash I think my armpits sometimes smell like ham and pineapple pizza.
20) I love meat. I love it so much I once tried making a meat-shake. Word of advice – don’t try that, ever, you will not enjoy it. It comes out much the way it goes in – through the mouth and lumpy.
21) While on a caffeine high, I once swung a shopping trolley around my head while sprinting down the road.
22) I think I’m an incredibly boring person and always find these lists incredibly difficult to populate.
23) I hate travelling or going anywhere. I don’t really feel much benefit from paying to go somewhere and see something, I nearly always happier to see pictures on the computer for free.
24) Before I got into computing, I wanted to be a psychologist but a teacher told me not to bother because it was a saturated job market. So I went into IT. Doh!
25) I basically don’t watch TV, listen to radio or even go outside that often. I have adblocker installed on my browsers so I basically have no exposure to adverts at all. It really freaks me out seeing them because to me, adverts are really rare. Saying that, I also seem to have adblock in my head, so my brain rapidly tunes them out anyway.

Right, I’m not going to tag many people (the ‘rules’ state you should tag 25) because anyone I know who would actually carry this on will read this eventually and do so anyway. In fact, when thinking about tagging people I was amazed I actually had 25+ friends on facebook, especially since I deliberately try and keep my list of friends on here sparse. Amazing.
