Getting to know you

[Goliath]

I'm not going to reveal my actual age, but it's less than 15.

I never would have guessed! The way you write (particularly your 'essays' on the movies you've watched), I thought you were about my age.

[ajmrowland]

you're overweight? In pictures I saw of you, you seems pretty skinny to me.

I'm about 260. I didnt show the stomache section.

Are most people on here in their early to mid 20's?

It appears so. It looks like I'm one of the youngest posters here, if not the youngest. I'm not going to reveal my actual age, but it's less than 15.

Wow, now I'm feeling old! When did I stop being as young? Not that I'm THAT old mind you, but it is starting to hit me I'm not a kid anymore.

Well, for beings so you, you present yourself well online.

[Disney's Divinity]

Not surprised most people here are in the 20 range. I’m guessing the majority of UD’s members grew up during the ‘90s, when Disney was flourishing.

I’m a perfectionist.

I'm a bit of perfectionist, too. That's why you'll see these super-long list posts where all the numbers have to be perfectly bolded, titles italicized, etc. Or would that be considered anal-retentive?

Interesting you should know [Nobuo Uematsu]. I've never heard of him, until (years and years ago), a friend of mine send me a wonderful little bit of music done by him and someone named Aki Kurado. It was apparently done for one of the 'Final Fantasy' videogames and it's called 'To Zanarkand' . Do you know this bit of music? It's a simple, but beautiful piece of piano playing.

Oh, yeah, I've heard that. One of the best things about all the FF games are their soundtracks--especially those by Uematsu. I've always thought his soundtracks for FFX and FFIX were his best, but that might be because I'm preferential to the later games in general. "To Zanarkand" is one of my favorites, too, actually. He's amazing.

I use to be a perfectionist when it came to my drawings as I use to try make everything perfect looking. I realize that's the WRONG way to go. Now I don't worry about making everything perfect and my drawings come out much much better than before.

We disagree on numerous stuff but at least this is something we BOTH can agree on.

We disagree on numerous stuff but at least this is something we BOTH can agree on.

I knew we'd get there eventually, somehow. At least it happened before the end of the <strike>world</strike>forum as we know it, and all that.

And, yeah, being a perfectionist can be really stifling when it comes to art and those kinds of things, because there's always some way you think you can improve it. It really can drive you crazy, so it's best to be relaxed. I'm glad it's worked out for you.

Being a perfectionist also leads to "Last Edited by..." notes

I like being a redhead. I'm not very pretty otherwise, but I've always gotten compliments for my hair (especially from old women, for some reason).

Personality: It's hard to describe myself, really.

I am very loyal to my friends and will do anything to protect them and make them happy. I like to think a lot, I love to analyze stories and discuss movies with friends.

Guess that's it!

You shouldn't say that about yourself. I once read something that stuck with me for some reason: "Don't speak ill of yourself. Your friends will do so for you."

(That's not cheerful at all. But I meant to say you shouldn't think badly of yourself.)

Likes

Movies: The Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, Harvey, Ben-Hur. There are more, but those are my go-to four.

Books: Peter Pan is my favorite book of all time. I also love The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles and The Scarlet Letter. Growing up I adored The Magic Tree House series, and they still hold a place in my heart.

TV: The Three G's: Gargoyles, Glee, and The Golden Girls. But not necessarily in that order.

Food: I always hate these categories... I like a lot of foods, but I can never think of anything that I'd consider really superior to anything else... Simple rustic things, I guess, with no mayonaisse...

Candy: Now this is a category I can answer. Anything with chocolate and smooth caramel (not chewy) is a gift. You can add nougat, you can add peanuts, whatever, but there's nothing as delicious as plain milk chocolate and plain caramel paired together! Yum......

Drinks: I love a Coke.

Stores: Amazon, forever.

Music: I honestly don't listen to much music. I have very wide tastes, though. I like classic showtunes, current pop, classic rock, eighties tunes. I don't like metal or rap.

Animals: For wild animals, I love deer and dolphins. I don't know which one is more majestic. As for domesticated animals, dogs definitely. As for a specific breed, I grew up with dachsaunds and still love them.

Actors/Actresses: Well, the answer to this question is blatantly clear. Julie Andrews, of course. Also like Kate Hepburn, Bette Davis, Jimmy Stewart, Charles Loughton, Chaplain, Leonardo di Caprio, Anne Hathaway (in the right vehicle), Debbie Reynolds, and so on and so on. I could make lists and lists...

Color: Maroon, or burgundy. Simple red will suffice.

Talents/Interests

I like to write. I've acted, and fancy myself a singer, although I have terrible stage fright in front of people when it comes to singing. Can't dance to save my life, and have no interest. I've also tried my hand recently at making films and made a small student project last month. I won't see the finished product for a few more months, but we had fun making it. I also like to cook.

I'm sure your pretty, people don't really know if they're attractive or not, and besides vanity can make even the most attractive people look bad, so at least you don't have that.

^And those who do know are egostical maniacs.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go admire myself in the bathroom mirror.

How come so many people on UD seem so much younger than I would have thought? I would want to praise you for your maturity, but maybe that would come off as belitteling, so I just won't say anything.
