I know how that goes. I'm up for school at 6:30am every morning (yes, I'm getting close to 30 and back in school; and yes most of my classmates are around 10 years younger than me). Sadly all the years I've been a night owl prevent me from sleeping at night. I go to school in the morning, have about a half hour at home between class and work and then I work until 10:30. I can be tired all day but I just can't sleep before 1am no matter what I do or how hard I try. Too many years of staying up til 3 to 6 in the morning have pretty much made going to bed at a normal hour impossible. I don't mind really, I make up for the lack of sleep on Fridays and Saturdays, it does make getting up in the morning a real pain though. |

I heard learning to sleep between classes is a real hard thing to do. At least thats what my relatives who went to college told me. I'll find out for myself next year. Like you guys, I also am nocturnal. My mom makes quite a few jokes about me being a vampire haha. Everyday, I get home from school at 3:20 and in a few hours I sleep til midnight then stay up for school which is 6:30. avg 6-7 hours. well theres a benefit to getting on at night especially if u play any MMORPG's since all the idiots are asleep and the night gang comes out hehe. Not to mention the peace and quiet although its starting to get lonely especially since I'm now the only child left still living with my parents. I use to stay up and play games with my brother which was a blast. I remember the old days, we would skip school together and kick it.

Well now that we have some more fresh faces around these parts I suppose it's time for another round of hearty welcomes. So a big howdy doody and ANN welcome to GMSenpai, legendfunk, Scout_Leader, xoliveyouxx, DamienStryker, TheDrizzle, and Theory1789. Welcome to forums, please take off your shoes and leave your coats in the coat closest to the left.
 Hopefully you'll all find something of interest here in these forums to keep you occupied and entertained. I suggest reading our very own Jadress's web comic Anime News Nina. Funny stuff, and it's free so what could be better? As part of your welcome though you all are lucky enough to receive your very own individual mystery welcome bag of goodies. ::hands them each a brown paper bag:: So my friends you are all the proud recipients of a belt buckle, a handful of pencil shavings, some deep fried crickets, and an empty fire extinguisher (I'm using my my jumbo sized brown bags today). I hope you enjoy your truly.......interesting gifts heh, and while you enjoy them don't forget these words of wisdom passed down through countless generations of my family; A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't.

I'd completely forgotten to introduce myself in this thread before now... oh well, better late than never.
Name - Joseph Sex - Male Blood Type - O (Not sure whether it's O positive or O negative, though...) Location - Fort Wayne, IN Marital Status - Single Age - 22 Ethnicity - Scottish, Irish, German... probably some others I'm not aware of. Religion - None. Pets - Seven, yes SEVEN cats. Five indoor ones, two outdoor ones. The indoor ones are all females... only two spayed, the two outdoor ones are males. Also, two dogs. A labradoodle and a shetland sheepdog. Both are idiots... especially the Sheltie. Drink/Smoke - I don't drink on my own, but I'll gladly have a few (too many) drinks if I've got a drinking buddy. As for smoking... rarely, if ever. Likes - Animals, eating (yay fast metabolism!), taking it easy, peace and quiet. Dislikes - Crowds, job interviews (Good first impressions are not my forte... even when clean shaven, I still look too much like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo)... and that's about it. Favorite Anime - Elfen Lied, Cowboy Bebop, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal, Death Note, Spice and Wolf Favorite Manga - Elfen Lied, Unbalance x Unbalance (well, Manhwa... close enough), Rosario + Vampire, mx0, Angel Densetsu, Spice and Wolf Favorite Books - White Fang, The Call of the Wild Favorite Games - Final Fantasy Tactics, Devil May Cry 3, Breath of Fire series, Baldur's Gate II + Throne of Baal, Civilization III & IV, Simcity Series, Super Smash Bros. Brawl Favorite TV Shows/Movies - Buffy, Angel, Braveheart, 300, Star Wars (Original Trilogy... and Ep III, I guess) Favorite Drink - Amaretto, rum, & vodka. Separate, and with nothing mixed in. Non-Alcoholic Drink - Apple juice and chocolate milk, separate, of course... yeah, a bit childish, but I like what I like. Favorite Foods - Stuffed Bell Peppers, Cheese or Vegetable Pizza, Ham & Swiss Subs, Cinnamon Swirl Bread Favorite Sites - DeviantART (Homepage), GameFAQS (When I stay away from the message boards, anyway...), Anime News Network, The Daily Grail, Giant in the Playground (for Order of the Stick), Ctrl+Alt+Del, Penny Arcade, F@NB0Y$, Onemanga (First Site I visit upon waking...), BleachExile. Favorite Sport (to watch) - Hockey, I guess. Favorite Sport (to play) - Soccer Favorite Music - Anything but country and (most) rap. Job - Currently unemployed. Not much of a problem, since my grandparents left me 1/3 of their estate. It ain't much, but it helps out when I'm in a pinch. Hobbies - Playing video games, reading manga, watching anime... I used to draw and write, but I've not done that for years. Fun Facts  It's a dubious honour, but I am the only person in my former high school, that I know of, to pass a class without doing ANY homework whatsoever... that class being psychology.
I'm incredibly shy in person.
I look fairly similar to Shaggy from Scooby-Doo
When I was 18, I tried to join the Marines and was rejected due to psychological reasons. According to the psychologist that interviewed me, I have "dysthymia", a chronic form of depression... never mind the fact that I'm generally a very happy person, even if I don't outwardly show it.
Incidentally, I'm distrustful of psychologists now.
I hold grudges very easily.
I once owned a very nice '95 Buick Riviera...
...until I slid out into an intersection and got T-boned by a van.
I have a liking for Wolves, Dragons, and Vampires.
I have an (over)active imagination.
I'm allergic to penicillin.
I was once attacked by a German Shepherd.
I've never been out of the US... though I want to visit Japan, Korea, and various European countries someday.
Give me the slightest chance and I'll ramble on and on and on...
...and on and on...
I have a very very poor sense of time.
I generally like animals more than other people.
I'm running out of "fun" facts to type...
....
....
I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener.
Okay, I'm going to stop now.
