Favorite Handgun: Desert Eagle .50 cal, I swear I will own one some day, Californian laws be damned!


Not to completely crap on your dreams, but I doubt that a .50 (handgun) will ever be allowed. You'll probably have to move to Nevada like everyone else, your best bet is 44 magnum Desert eagle. I'd like to have a .45 Jericho (aka Baby Desert Eagle/ Spike's gun from Cowboy Bebop) but I guess I'll be contend with what I have now.

Thought I'd redo this, by going back in the thread and answering all of the same questions others asked themselves. Long and disjointed.

Name: Steven Nicholas Pennington

Age: 22

Occupation: Mail Room/Admin work at ComCare. Hopefully getting out of that soon and doing Software Testing, which pays a lot more.

Preferred Future Occupation: Doing some kind of screenplay junk, something in media, FIlm and Sound Archive/Museum work, that sort of stuff. I'd like to work with things.

Books: Truckers, Diggers and Wings, the Harry Potter Books, The Hobbit. This is based on the fact that I have not actually read any other books in their entirety.

Hobbies: Film, writing, building lego, painting figurines/minatures, (possibly) music/music production/performance, cooking.

Music: Electric Light Orchestra, Daft Punk, Tea Party, other cheesy 80's music/rock, some local bands, Airbourne, and a few others. I need to see more proper live gigs. I like classical music, but only in small doses, as it can sort of blurr and blend after a while. I'm going to try and get in to Jazz/Blues/Whatever.

Favourite Sports: Basketball (to play), anything else (to watch, but with friends. I haven't really done this before but wouldnt mind to at one point). I'd like to play Tennis one day.

Favourite Sites: here, Somethingawful, AnimeJump forums, Perry Bible Fellowship, Google.

Favourite Handgun: Walter (?) P-38, only because it's the gun Megatron was/is. Otherwise, guns are pretty stupid.

Favourite Food: Some kind of chicken with sauce. I actually really like some mexican stuff which others like, but there's a paticular red marinate out there, possibly chinese. It's awesome with chicken legs and makes them taste even better. Steak is also awesome, when done right.

Favourite Drink: Water, these days.

Favourite TV shows: Gargoyles, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Michallef Pogram, I.T Crowd, Black Books, Poirot (most recent UK version)

Favourite Movies: Batman Begins, Transformers, Lord of the Rings, Children of Men, Pirates of the Carrebean (all), Others

Favourite Manga: Berserk, Hellsing, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

Favourite Anime: Berserk, Hellsing Ultimate, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Jin Roh, Innocence, Most high-budget romps (miyazaki, Kon, Oshii, etc).

Likes: Spring time, lego, The ocean, Road Trips, laughing, being in good company.

DIslikes: most real-life drama, badly organised lists, Joe McNamara, Mango, Disney Channel.

Drink/Smoke: No, but I like second-hand smoke.

facts:

-Currently trying to make more money for the sake of making more money. This is a first for me.

-Made out with someones girlfriend. This is not especially big but I've not done this before.

-Sara Pocock, AKA Cloe JK., is one of my heroes.

-The other hero is Batman. Shut up.

-I may help make a skit show.

-I've been working on a screenplay for a story, a full length movie, for about two years, and as such have annoyed the pants off of nearly everyone i know about it.

-I worked in my perfect job for four months.

-I had a car accident on Wednesday. The woman inside was beautiful.

-No one is reading this.

-Especially not you.

-Bought a new car today. Second hand, so relativley new. Nissan Pulsar from 2002, auto, maroon. Not the best but I like it.

-Moving out in a few days, over the next week. Going to be free. Horrah!

Coming soon maybe?

1) I hope that you are okay regardless of the fact that the woman you collided with was beautiful or not.

2) Yes I am

3) See #2

4) The important thing is that YOU like it. Screw everyone else!

I just went and edited my profile on page 1 for anyone who wants to look at it now. I added all the extra information I mentioned on latter posts, and I also decided to go ahead and give away my real name, for anyone who's curious. Wink It also now includes links to my newly created Manga and Anime lists, so you can go ahead and check that out now.

Wow, I get to be grouped in with the Dark Knight? I'm honored! Incidentally, I wanted Batman to be my boyfriend when I was little (along with Optimus Prime and Spidey, the coolest heroes there ever were).

I made a deal with PG that I’d start posting here again if he stopped identifying himself as PantsGoblin on 4chan, so as long as he holds up his part of the bargain I’ll hold up mine. Threads he started/posted in would often turn into people asking how he “molested” me and if ANN was a good place to pick up little girls, and while I thought it was pretty funny at first it started to get on my nerves after weeks went by and it didn’t die down… Getting a little bit of attention is fun, but too much just makes me feel paranoid.

So, since the old introduction thread is gone now, I guess I’ll re-introduce myself here.

Name: Katherine, but I go by Katy (and I have no relation to this Katy, though it is an amazing coincidence.)

Age: 14

Location: Hawaii (specifically O’ahu)

Religion: Atheist

Status: In a relationship

Preferred Future Occupation: PEDIATRICIAN!!!! Ha ha, actually I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. :p

Favorite Books: Harry Potter, Flowers for Algernon, The Time Traveler’s Wife. Lately I haven’t really been doing a lot of non-manga reading, though. My friend finished reading Lolita the other day and liked it, so I’m going to borrow from her the next time I see her.

Favorite Music: Pop, rock, dance, and techno music from any country. My favorite Japanese bands are UNDER17 and MOSAIC.wav, but as far as domestic music goes I don’t really pay attention to band names. Usually I’ll just hear a song on the radio and think “Hey, I like this song” and not bother to do any further research on the band it came from.

Favorite Sites: Various anime-related anonymous imageboards, Youtube (but not for watching anime), any website that has anime-related current news.

Favorite Drink: Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper

Favorite TV shows: House, Boston Legal, X-Files, The Twilight Zone, Spongebob Squarepants, The Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Invader Zim, South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy.

Favorite Movies: Edward Scissorhands, A.I., Pan’s Labyrinth.

Favorite Manga: I don’t have a set-in-stone list of favorites, but off the top of my head and in no particular order I really like Strawberry Marshmallow, Pita-Ten, Welcome to the NHK, X-Day, and After School Nightmare.

Favorite Anime: Again, I don’t have a definite top-ten list of favorites, but I really like Dokuro-chan, Strawberry Marshmallow, Nurse Witch Komugi, Welcome to the NHK, Card Captor Sakura, Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru, and Koi Kaze.

Favorite Video Games: I don’t play a lot of video games, but I like Kingdom Hearts, Nippon Ichi games, and Xenosaga.

Likes: Anime, manga, moe, loli, shota, PantsGoblin, being an obnoxious pervert, dressing up for movies on opening day (I’m going to the Harry Potter movie with a bunch of my friends as a clan of Hufflepuffs since Hufflepuffs are awesome because they’re stupid, ugly, fat lazy bastards and no one loves them.), and other various painfully uninteresting stuff.

Dislikes: Forum drama, elitist anime fans who think they’re better than other fans for liking/not liking a specific genre/series of their choice, fans who care more about their prestigious reputation as a basement-dwelling nerd than they do for anime itself, and people who don’t think for themselves. (Look at that, all the reasons why I left ANN in the first place...)

Fun Facts:

- I recently bleached my naturally red hair blonde and dyed it light pink. (Not for cosplay, just for the hell of it. It’s always better to buy wigs for cosplay anyway.) It’s been a few weeks so it’s starting to come out though; it looks more like I have platinum blonde hair with pink highlights now.

- I cross-dressed throughout all of elementary school. (I love wearing skirts and dresses now, but I still hate wearing makeup. And I still don’t understand why most teenage girls go all ga-ga over shopping for shoes -- I look at all shoes the same way and can’t comprehend how one brand/design is supposed to be better or worse than another one. Except Crocs, those horrible things are just UGLY and need to die.)

- I hate my screen name on ANN. Seriously, I do. The only thing that could possibly be lamer than it would be a name that attempts to incorporate the word “angel” but is misspelled “angle,” like AngleKeybladeMaster or something like that.

- I just got back from a vacation to Washington DC a few days ago and I saw The Phantom of the Opera performed at the Kennedy Center. It was the most AWESOME thing EVER. I cried manly tears.

- I am a morbidly obese male in my late forties.

- Wolverine Princess is actually just one of PantsGoblin’s dummy accounts.

Pictures-

Finally, THE MOMENT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!



….



Razz



Actually, I’m absolutely paranoid about publicly posting my picture on the internet, but feel free to send me a PM and I’ll send you a picture if you want to see what I look like.

I thought the deal for PG was to stop posting on 4chan altogether...?

Welcome back to ANN, Wolverine Princess. You've got quite a bit of facial hair for a 14 year old girl... Wink
