Our sad, sad selfs. - Page 11

Oh yeah? Well, I'm such a sad person that:

I had a Madagascar hissing cockroach as a pet once, no wait twice.

I actually do know the song 'the rainbow connection' (why are there so many, songs about rainbows?)

I couldn't get to the internet to read Brian's comics, so I had my mom print out more than a hundred of them (which I still have stapled together in a box in my dorm room)

I love the game Ico so much that I beat it three times in a row without taking a break once.

I have a Gundam Wing card set (both game and standard), every figurine of both the Gundams and the characters, at least four shirts, and several posters. I'm still thinking about getting more.

I'll think of more later.

I can be told what a card does without being told the name, from Odyssey on, and tell you the name of that card. (M:tG)

I also know the Rainbow Connection, and it's a good song! I like it!

YAY! Rainbow connection isn't uncool!

Just because we can identify and enjoy the song doesn't mean that it's not uncool. I mean, look at the thread we're talking about it in...

I don't know if this stuff makes me sad, insane, or something else all together, but... Oh well.

I listen to Jrock. A lot. Like... most of the time. I don't speak Japanese, and I listen to it around other people so much that I'm able to explain to them before they ask, "It's Japanese, not Chinese, and no, I don't speak Japanese" because I know what they're going to say.

I also have some really weird form of kleptomania. Maybe it's just because I'm that age where being a jackass seems like a good idea (and so are my friends), but I steal anything that I think would make a good story, especially from the road. I've stolen stuff like road construction sandbags (which became 30 pound memory bags of doom...), traffic cones, and my friends and I actually managed to steal one of those huge orange traffic barrels... I have a stolen green neopets Jubjub from McDonalds on my dashboard. I don't even play neopets.

Just for fun, here's a picture of my sandbag. I stole it, and my friend Sam autographed it, as she stole one and I autographed hers.

Formulas... Fire Emblem...

Damage: STR + Mt. +/- Weapon Triangle bonus - Enemy Defense
Attack speed: Speed + (CON - Wt), and if (CON - Wt) turns out anything above 0, it is rounded down to 0.
Critical: Skill/2 + Weapon Bonus + S rank bonus + Support Bonus

How Hit/Miss is determined: Hit rate - random number (between 0 and 99). If the result is > than 0, then it hits. If the result is = to 0 or less, then it misses. If the attack will miss, the game doesn't generate another number for critical.

How Crit. Attacks work: Critical - random number (0-99). Result > 0 is a success, result </= 0 is a normal attack.

Devil Axe backfire: Luck x 2 - random number (0-99). If the result is > 0, then the attack is a success. If not, then you take the damage instead. THis works with criticals, making the Devil Axe a dangerous weapon.

Sad things...sad things...sad things...

Um...well, I can sing the musicals, "Rent", "Cats", "Camelot", "Aspects of Love", and "Chess" (both the concept album and the...uh...the other one) word-for-word, in their entirety (of course, I'd have to do the overlapping parts one after another, since I can't sing both parts of a duet at the same time), but I know a lot of people who can do that, so I guess it's not a big thing.

Other than that? I have most of the season of "Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future" memorized. Every line. Every inflection. Every bloody move the actors were making as they said the lines. What can I say? Fixation is an ugly, ugly thing, and I spent long hours watching and rewatching those damned episodes.

I've also got most of the series of "Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad" (obscure 90's Power Rangers rip-off, the makers of which clearly had no idea how a computer worked) on tape and memorized. Yeesh. That sounds much, much sadder in writing than it did in my head. [Weeps]

And I've got fifty-eight stories currently posted on Fanfiction.Net, most in universes that few, if any other people read. It used to be sixty-eight, but I had to remove the script-format and the NC-17 stuff. Of course, again, I know a lot of people who have double or triple that, so it's not so bad.

[Whimper] Okay, so it is. I need a life...

I have most of the lyrics of Sweeney Todd, most of the music for City of Angels, and several songs from Little Shop memorized.

Dona Maria · 10-20-2004, 02:09 AM

How about Be Prepared… For Nader

I can quote thus spoke Zarathustra on command, and win any argument related to theology or philosophy. (well maybe not all, but all I have been exposed to)
I also beat Def Jam Fight for NY without losing once.
