  1. I've had a lot of bad experience with fandom meetups offline. I know people will always say they're wonderful and all to vouch for the community, but my experience has been the opposite. Well, a clean slate for a new fandom, I suppose... maybe bronies are the ones who don't look at porn on their laptops in public.

  2. I used to be, but I've tried a few of the newer games and was terribly disappointed. There was a DS title (can't remember the precise name) that I honestly doubt went through a real testing phase because there were at least half a dozen noticeable problems with gameplay.

     

    Sloppy, sloppy work.

  3. I grew up on Sega Genesis, Gameboy Color, Super Nintendo, N64, and the early-ish days of PC gaming. I've had my fill of most of it at this point, though. I can't even play some of my childhood favorites unless I play with ridiculous handicaps, I know them so well.

  4. I'm really not a "sensitive" person, so I feel like the kind of guys I'm friends with (some real characters, trust me) are better able to understand me when I'm upset and seem less put off by my vehemence and anger - which is a common response of mine - and more likely to simply listen and get to the point instead of trying to comfort me, or at least keep the comfort to something simple like a hug or a drink. If I'm afraid, I want to attack the problem head on and prepare for the worst, not be distracted and comforted. My female friends and sensitive male friends tend to do the opposite of these things.

  5. My favorite would have to be a Hell's Kitchen down in the city, though not for the food. It has a really interesting "gothic" atmosphere to it, which while not usually my thing is actually kind of neat. I don't know if it's real or staged, but on their very decorative menus they have a comment card from an 8-year-old that reads: "Hell is a bad word."

     

    My favorite restuarant for the food is a pizza place around here called Old Chicago. There's too many varieties of gooey, cheesy, meaty pizza to choose from.

     

    Haven't eaten at Subway in years after a horrid food poisoning incident. Not even if it comes free can I forget two days of being bedridden, over a week of struggling to eat and drink, and another several days of discomfort. Don't bring it near me, I'll shriek and back away like it burns.

  6. Tearing my hair out over an assignment. If I have a framework to go by or am free to do what I please with no restrictions I'm on a roll with only moderate effort, but as soon as something with vague guidelines and an awkward context gets thrown at me everything comes to a screeching halt.

  7. Back in high school, my friends and I used to wander around a lot at night for lack of other things to do in this town. Late one night (reeeaalllly late), one of them somehow got it in his head to streak across the church parking lot. That was... very unexpected and mostly unprompted, but he was a weird guy. As for outright creepy, I think the creepiest thing that happened to me would be when one of my ex-boyfriends stalked me onlinefor three years with intermittent blackmail attempts, even after he married.

     

    I haven't seen much genuinely creepy stuff on the Internet since I gave up furries and stopped hanging around the stranger parts of the Internet, but I think someone IMing me out of the blue to talk to me about his sex life with his Sonic the Hedgehog plushies was the worst.

  8. I don't really see the point? People should be allowed to form and hold their own opinions, and who are any of us to decide which ones are appropriate outside of the basic ideals of our society such as "don't hurt people." If the enemy is bullying itself - and I do mean actual bullying - I'd see that as more sensible, but there's lines between standing up against bullies, standing up against people expressing opinions rudely, and calling the thought police that need to be acknowledged.
