Seriously, GAB is my secret shame. So many times back "in the world" I want to share my funny but I can't. The normals just wouldn't understand.



Every now and then I think about recruitment. I mean, if I brought one more in then that would be one more that I could share it with. But *alas, it's a finicky world, GAB.

I collect toys. Usually small ones, such as toy airplanes and motorcycles. Hot wheels are a big collector's item for me, as are Tech Deck Dudes, and GI Joes. Sometimes the more obscure the toy, or the more outrageous, the more collectible they are to me.



I also collect stickers. All kinds. I sort them and file them, but hardly ever use them. I usually can't find the perfect place to use them, because once you attach them, you might find something or someplace else that would be cool.



I'm such a geek.

Basically, every time I find a new show to become attached to, it goes down the crapper. Got a show you want cancelled? Plop me in front of it for a month, and it'll be Shakespeare by next fall. Guaranteed.

I am an unrepentant fishing dork. Last fall, after five years of trying, I finally landed my holy grail. It was an awesome fight. I spent a half hour chasing this thing up and down the river and at one point, I was on my knees threading my pole through the branches of a tree that had fallen into the water. The fish must have gotten pretty turned on by the whole thing however. When I lifted it out of the water, it opened up and let loose an impressive load of salmon spunk all over me like some sort of Piscean porn prodigy.



Strangely, I was OK with that though.

If the later is dorkier, I should qualify that I have now decided to replace Solaris with Fedora Core.

Alright, here it is:



I read Slashdot.

I work on computers for a living.

I'm in a community choir.

I play video games - especially RPGs.

I watch cartoons on Saturday mornings - and Saturday nights - and throughout the week.

I love the new Battlestar Galactica and really hope that Dirk Benedict gets to make a cameo.

I have read all of Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series and wish I could talk to wolves - and that they'd get to the Last Battle already, dammit!

I read "Lord of the Rings" before it was cool.

I've been to Rennaisance Festivals.

I spend most of my waking hours in front of a computer - even if you don't count work.

GAB takes the majority of my computing time.



And I think I'll stop there. You get the gist.

Depending on who you ask, yes or no.



I don't have a "fursona" and don't play Furry MUCKs or RPGs, so many would say no. Some don't say fursonas or RPGs are needed to be a furry, so they'd say yes.



I do like furry art and visit Yerf (or in the meantime VCL) a few times a day to see what's new.



Favorite artists to date are psicoyote, Akira M, EDMOL and Bridget Wilde.



I do hope to get my own style of art good enough to get on Yerf and VCL, but that's taking a while.

I am obsessed with office supplies. Whenever I go into a store, I HAVE to check out the office supplies section. New Staples catalog day at work is like nudie magazine day to me. One year for Xmas I received a box full of various pens and pencils, and I still think it was the best gift evar.

I'm a major car geek. But not the cars one would expect... yeah, I have had a couple of classics including a 1962 Chrysler and a 1970 Hornet, but most of my cars are things like Chevettes, Renaults, station wagons... in addition:



- I have owned 33 cars, currently have 7.

- None of my cars were built after 1987. This is more or less by design; while there are a few cars built after 1987 that I would buy, for some reason I keep finding early 80s cars. Suits me fine.

- I have gone as far as New York state for a car (1985 Renault Encore S 5-dr hatchback, automatic, 1.4L EFI, in a rare blue)..

- I have at one point owned 12 cars at once (it's really fun when they all need oil changes at once... one week I kept exchanging cars at the mechanic's and paid a total of $220, and yes I still have the receipt -- in fact I have a file cabinet full of car titles and data, separated by car, and the folders are in chronological order).

- I'm also a license plate collector, and I get vanity plates for all my cars. (Including the Chevette.)

- I have a database where I keep all my car information such as engine size, number of doors, fuel economy, length/width/height of the car, VIN, price paid (both by me and the original owner)...

and perhaps the #1 worst dork offense of all:

- I name all my cars.



...but hey, at least I look cool, right?

I compulsively mess with try to "repurpose" anything I can get my hands on.



Examples:



Last summer, I found a working 8-track player at a flea market (Even dorkier- I have my father's sweet player from the early 70's, it works and I have about 50 8 tracks for it) and I traded the guts from it with a Nintendo system.

Both worked fine, and you cannot tell they were altered.



I put the guts from a PS2 into my brother's XBOX console. Hilarity ensued.



When I was still living with my parents, I would replace the springs in the VCR for much stronger versions- tapes would shoot across the room.





Worst of all, I can never leave toasters alone... this borders on a sickness for me-



I replace the springs on them so they launch toast.

I repaint them with flames, or various other colors.

I have put a window and fan (similar to what you would see in a computer case) in one toaster, you know, just 'cause it got too hot.

I have altered the heating element so that it would burn words into the bread.





I am now goofing around with an ITX motherboard to see if I can fit it into a PS2 case, which I will then take to work and use.

I am also a car nerd. Any 80's GMC or Chevy truck gets my full attention, no matter how dented or rusty it is.

I lose sleep over thinking about my next two project trucks.

I am planning to build an offroad wrecker (lifted 80's Chevy...), I have working drawings and everything...

I lose sleep over thinking about the project after the wrecker, an 80's Chevy Crew cab longbed dually on airbags that will lay on the ground. I have details down to tires planned out. I talk about it often, my girlfriend hates me.

I'm a diesel performance nut, I will try to race any sporty car in my 3/4 ton crew cab Powerstroke ford. I claim victory often, even if the other person doesnt know I'm racing them.

I have driven 2 different vehicles with no exhaust other than headers and enjoyed the noise. One was 7+ months, both trucks were square bodied Chevy's.

I have a ton of Pokemon cards, all in sleeves in a cigar box in the bottom of my computer desk.

Video games take up way too much of my time.

I have taken over 600 pictures of my ATV, Blazer, 1 ton GMC, 300zx, or F250, and zero of me or my friends.

I watch the Top Truck Challenge videos religiously.

My only real goal in life is to compete in the Top Truck Challenge, and I talk about it like I'm already for sure going. My friends also hate me.

I have more, but this is getting kinda long..
