QOTD Friday September 23

Happy Friday!!

QUESTION: What's one, random fact about you? It can be anything.

I like meeting people,when traveling for example

Hmm...I wonder where you got this idea...? XD

lol, anyway. I already gave up ten random facts on my blog, so...oh! Got one! When I first got my silver ring, which you can kind of see in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] video, it turned the skin underneath it this purple-green color, so I had both a silver ring and a purple-green ring, the latter pasted directly onto the skin. Because I was allergic to silver.

It faded to a blue-green, then a light gray-green, and now it's all skin-colored, because my finger got used to the presence of silver. It took like 3 months to completely disappear. I think I might be part werewolf.

part werewolf? I am preparing the silver bullets lol

@Stephen, I love meeting people too! You're lucky to be able to travel so much.

@Amanda, Part werewolf?! Oh snap. I hate when rings do that. :/

A random fact about me is...that I'm obsessed with football!!! I grew up watching football with my uncles & now I gotta sit on the couch, like one of the boys, every Sunday. And my dream is to go to the superbowl one day.

What about you, Lizzy?

Haha, I forgot I hadn't answered this yet. A random fact about me...I have a phobia of telephones? Not telephones as an object, it's the act of calling--I'm terrified of dialing the wrong number, and I always fear I'll word things wrong, or offend someone because they can't see my expression. It's torture to call new numbers or schedule appointments, even though I've hardly ever made a mistake, and I rehearse exactly what I'm going to say and check the number, like, five times. It's probably related to my social anxiety... I have issues--I'm working on them.

@Stephen Me too!

@Amanda Oh wow! How interesting that your skin got used to it. I probably would've given up on the ring the minute I saw it turned my skin purple. O_O

@Shahira Aww, that's cool! You'll get there yet. When you're a successful, published author, you can treat yourself to the super bowl.

@Renee Awwww! I know what you mean. I HATE making phone calls. I kinda got over it, because I've had to, and Constance helps me by calling me. But I always struggle because I can't make expressions / see expressions (think I'm visual or anything?) so it makes me feel like I'm shouting through a wall to the other person.

ANYWAY. And I'm not afraid of dialing the wrong number... in fact, I was the kid that would dial strange numbers and then sing happy birthday to whoever picked up. #confessions

And as for me... a random fact. Hmmm.

Well, I feel like I've said this already, but I have a mild chocolate allergy. IT SUCKS, to say the least. Milk chocolate and white chocolate don't bother me at all, but as soon as it gets darker, too much bittersweet or even just a square of, like, 80% cocoa, chocolate makes me nauseous. Sad, sad world.

I... can't think of anything... Oh. I used to play World of Warcraft. A lot. >.>

@Constance YOU DID??? You are so full of surprises!! O_O

It was only cause Quinn played it! ...And it was... fantasy... and there were elves. *can't resist the elves*

@Twin Okay, that makes sense... I played the same video games my older bro. played. Except that would be a Pro Bass fishing game, and a realistic deer-hunting game. Hey, I caught some pretty darn big fish! And I got really good at shooting the vitals and taking down huge bucks on the first try. *coughs* Not nearly as impressive as elves...

Yeah... You can't judge me playing WoW when you played fishing/hunting games. At least I had a good book-related excuse. ...In a roundabout way. *cough*

@Maggie--OH NO! That sucks! Dark chocolate is my favorite...I actually hate white chocolate(it's NOT chocolate! ), and milk chocolate is usually too sweet for me--when I make hot chocolate, I like Hershey's Baking Cocoa mixed with a little Ovaltine. It comes from drinking coffee and tea, my taste buds learned to crave(or at least not mind) more bitter things. Like tea!

@Constance--LOL. World of Warcraft...I had a sixth grade teacher who was literally obsessed, her whole family played it. I heard a couple years later that it led to a divorce--I felt really sorry for her, because she was a nice person. If we're going to make gaming confessions...I love The Legend of Zelda, and I'm not ashamed! I just don't have time to play them anymore.

@Amanda Yeah. It's soul sucking.
I would totally play Legend of Zelda if I could get my hands on it. I used to have a gameboy, and I played Legend of Zelda and Mario all the time.

@Amanda White chocolate is a thing of its own! It's WONDERFUL! Ahem. Anyway. I don't mind bitter chocolate, either. In small bits. But because of the allergy thing I haven't had it in a while, just to spare myself a stomach ache, and thus my tastebuds have become very familiar with the sweeter chocolates. Sad but true. Although, I do like my hot chocolate very dark!

And I drink tea with no sugar, so it's not like I mind the bitterness... Yeah. You get the point.

And as for gaming, I had forgotten that I did go through QUITE the obsession with Evony at one point. I don't think it's quite as... involved, as World of Warcraft, but I was spending HOURS glued to the screen. O_o It's okay, because it's over now!

True. Although COME ON! Fishing/hunting is PEACEFUL! And I almost just said there wasn't any killing. There might have been some blood in the deer hunting one. But honestly? I can write much more realistic hunting/tracking scenes now! So THERE! *grins*

What is Evony?

And, this is true. Maybe I just have a violent side.

You've really never heard of it?? *sighs*

Well, their advertisements are lame, because they give the wrong impression of the game. But basically it's a fantasy game where you own castles and soldiers and you fight. As you can imagine, it's very addictive if you get into it!

OH THAT. Right. I've seen those ads. I haven't clicked on them, for obvious reasons.

Lol! I've seen those ads for Evony, and I was like, you couldn't POSSIBLY be referring to that HEATHEN game, could you??? But I understand, since I guess the game isn't actually like that, lol. False advertising keeps people like me away!

Yeah. It TOTALLY does. I don't get it, because it isn't even close to what they make it look like. All that "Save a queen" stuff. *rolls eyes* Trust me. Inside, it's just CASTLES and BATTLES!

CASTLES! BATTLES! EPIC! Heheheh.
