Something Random About You Thread

The more wine I drink the better I think I play. Think being the key word.

I just re-installed an amazing old game called freelancer. Just played the campaign to pittsburg, and my god I forgot how much I enjoyed this game. This is the first game I ever purchased with my own money. And to this day, I say its worth the 40 bucks I paid for it.

I still have the box, the jewel case, and the manual for it too. My version, is the game before any patches were made for it.

for you yougn's that have no idea what I'm talking about, this is the wikipedia article on it. Ask anyone who's played it, and they will all tell you its one of the best fighter space games ever made.

Edit: One of the most complete mods ever made for it.  Discovery was recently updated, and the modders (last I checked) are still working on it.

Mmh, let's see. Another important random thing about me. Didn't know more than a few english words when I came on the BSN, lurked first for a while. ( Now I am a bit better, I learned alone ) Could barely say one or two sentences with very few words at th very beginning. I was the typical french who was allergic to english. The first posts from bsners I've seen the first day while i was talking about Ashley were mocking my posts and my bad english which was indeed pathetic. They made absolutely no sense to be honest LMAO. While it was a bit crual, I never blamed them for mocking me. 

It was my " welcome on the bsn mate, hahaha, look at this idiot ! "

Let's say that the first day, I really wondered if I shouldn't go back to lurking  instead of trying to talk with people who could hardly understand one word of what I say, thinking I was really being ridiculous !

Well, I was hurt and furious, but after, I relaxed and went on with a strong will. I didn't give up. Now, there is an improvement, people can understand me even if i'm still bad with my english lol. i kept coming on the bsn, also because it was a good way to keep learning silently this foreign language while around me, nobody speaks english. except my sisters. But with my friends, nope, they all suck. ( When we went in London, it was mostly me who talked, others couldn't do it lol )

Though, honestly, it's often frustrating, i admit. I'm not always able to say what I want to say, and most of my points are forced to be simple, while my thoughts are really much more developped. ( I'm very confident in my own language ) There are many debates i would like to participate, but I can't, because the language is an issue and a barrier, it becomes to complicated. 

I'm pretty sure that a lot of people do not always understand what I say in my posts, but they are nice enough not to tell me, even if I'm arguing against their post. 

The BSN after a few years really helped me to improve my english, more than anything else to be honest. 

I have a new favorite program...Ice Bear ROCKS.

I thoroughly enjoy category 1-3 hurricanes (so long as I don't lose power for too long). No sounds of human activity, just a symphony of wind and rain; the occasional crack of a tree and the boom that follows when it falls upon the earth. Lightening cracking the sky that looks as though it's bright and sunny for just a split second before you're plunged back into the darkness. Serene af.

This is basically me... It takes me forever to remember my home phone number and my own cell number whenever I get a new one 
Also, I really suck with names, unless your name actually looks like it "fits" you perfectly

The essentials man, the essentials... Everything else is garbage data lmao because I can lecture you for days on astronomy 

My wakeup-alarm is the alarm from the Alien 1 Nostromo self destruct sequence. Very original, I know. 

I find roller coasters to be extremely unpleasant. A few years ago I tried a couple I liked as a kid. Nope.

I haven't been on a rollercoaster, though I think I would like to try it at first chance. What I definitely don't like is the Ferris Wheel, especially when it just stops up at the top.
