    Sad but true. It's a good thing I don't have any kids, that would make me feel much older. ;)

    Who isn't? We can only hope to be as cool as Splunge when we get there. :p

    Same thing here. Shoes matter. :D

    I've dated a few girls who were 5' tall. Makes you feel like a big guy. :p

    I have three different copies of Heat for that very reason.

    :)

    Somebody finally uses the metric system! Yeah! I'm 180cm tall too (a little more with the right shoes).

    Oh yeah. I also hate people who drive slowly on mountain roads, they really freak me out.

    I'll probably get there soon enough...

    Me too. MY nickname as a kid was "Beeper". Given to me by my oldest brother. He said I talked so fast, it was like hearing someone go "beepbeepbeepbeepdabeep".

    1. I'm 5' 10" and 165 lbs.
    2. When I was ten, I bought a small hardback copy of the Odyssey from a bargain bin at a discount store, and I still have it 35 years later, along with six other copies.
    3. I've played music since my second year in public school and still play drums and guitar. At the moment, my favorite guitar is an Epiphone Studio Firebird, which is a large slab of cherry stained mahogany, and looks and sounds just gorgeous.
    4. I like plants and gardening, and I like working outdoors. I especially like to grow roses.
    5. Even though I studied literature and history in college, I've worked most of my adult life as a salesman, and anyone who has worked with me has remarked that I could sell ice to an Eskimo. I'm not boasting, only that timid, modest salesmen typically have skinny kids and bad credit.
    6. I despise old people who think they know more than young people just because they are older.
    7. I consume large amounts of bottled water, coffee, beer, red wine and chocolate, in no particular order.
    8. I'm a true conservative: I believe the Ancient Greeks created Western Civilization. :grin:
    9. I'm married to a woman 10 years younger than I am. But I don't hold that against her, since she has given me three wonderful children who are every bit as beautiful as she is.
    10. I am a pretty lucky guy. :)

    Well you certainly aren't setting your expectations very high. :p

    Probably should contribute now that I went on to comment something.

    1. I'm 180cm tall.
    2. I don't know next to anything about music, nor do I listen to it much.
    3. I live in the closest thing to a slum around here.
    4. I'm almost obsessed about my financial security and am a very very careful spender...
    5. ...so studying economics and accounting sort of comes naturally.
    6. I've never been arrested but have been involved in plenty of stuff that could have gotten me arrested, guess I've been lucky so far.
    7. I'm myself fully Finnish but have done all my education in Swedish, making me effectively bilingual. Most of my friends are also Swedish speaking.
    8. In sports, Sweden losing is almost as important as Finland winning something.
    9. I'm currently only using a laptop since my desktop said BOOM about a year ago.
    10. ...which means I haven't been playing much computer games since, which is probably a good thing since I really don't have that much time for them either.

    1. I'm 5'7, so short, but not as short as 8 :p
    2. I'm a lover of music...
    3. ...but despite owning a guitar for around 8 years and practising obsessively, i'm terrible at it.
    4. I love tea, I drink it in pint mugs, and I love Berry Relentless.
    5. I've been with the same lass for over 2 years now - She's good for me.
    6. I work for Microsoft on the Xbox 360 project, but I own a PS3 at home.
    7. I'm an obsessive MMO fan, have been for over 10 years.
    8. I've never had to save anyone's life, and hopefully i'll never have to. I'm not good under pressure :p
    9. I've been a D&Der for probably about 4 years now, but I still can't recreate the magic of my first character, no matter how hard I try :(
    10. I am Keyser Söze.

    Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Soze. :D

    As a father, I disagree - kids make you feel young again. However, they also make you feel tired.

    Heh.
    My best RL friend (and semi official translator to impatient people) claims I talk by speeding up to a monotonous buzz. My brother beeps.

    1. I'm 1.86 m, and even when training every day am still borderline overweight according to the BMI index. The BMI index is rubbish.
    2. I'm not quite 30 yet, but when people ask I tend to say I am, because it is easier to remember.
    3. I love to listen to music. If I'm not listening to music, I'm either sleeping or doing sports outdoors. Occasionally, I might also be talking to someone.
    4. I don't drink, smoke or eat meat. That's because, in order, it tastes terrible, it smells terrible, and I can't seem to forget what it used to be.
    5. I've about as much tact and subtlety as a sledgehammer to your shins.
    6. I don't particularly care much about anything.
    7. People I meet for the first time often think I'm bearish in some way or another. May be linked to point 1. Point 5 too, come to think of it.
    8. I never saved anyone's life, but have sent someone to the hospital with a sliding.
    9. I have a master's degree and have an interesting job.
    10. I like to go biking/running/swimming and just forget about everything in a blissful endorphine induced trance.

    Scottish? I love the sound of it :p

    1) I am 6'2" but only weigh 134lbs. (That's 9.5 st. to those of use who use normal measurements, or about 64Kg if you're a crazy european)
    2) I have just celebrated my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend (today actually). He's amazing and makes me very happy.
    3) I'm a Dispensing Optician, but I currently sell electrical goods because there's no work in my proper field.
    4) I drink a lot of red wine, but can't stand white.
    5) I DM D&D campaigns just to make people happy. I actually find it a little stressful, and spend the whole time wishing I was playing. Don't tell CJ.
    6) I drink tea white, but coffee black. Both with sugar.
    7) I have 2 cats, and they are complete polar opposites in every way. Except the obvious similarities that physically makes them cats.
    8) I am a pagan by way of life.
    9) I have refused to learn to drive all my life because I'm a hardcore eco warrior.
    10) I have never required medical treatment for anything in my life, illness, injury, not even a tooth filling.
