  1. Although some are born with a stronger inclination towards this, it's totally possible to train yourself to be as good at it as anyone who was. All it really comes down to is practice. That simple. The only catch is it's going to take a lot of it, and consequently a lot of time. I'm also left-hand dominant, and most of the time objects and tasks naturally drift to my left hand, but I've trained myself to do almost everything equally well with my right hand as my left, except for writing. Writing has been more of a challenge and I simply didn't feel like dedicating myself to it. I've even become just as proficient using my non-dominant eye with my right hand for shooting as I have with my left hand and left eye; I can grab a pistol in each hand or move a pistol from one hand to the other rather seamlessly. Just keep working at it and you'll get there.
  2. A 2012 Sonata. Been faithful to me so far. Survived a head-on collision with a deer (literally, as the only thing I hit was his head) with only minor cosmetic damage and a bent condenser. Didn't take much to fix. Gas mileage is pretty good, it's safe, it rides smoothly, and it's comfortable. Pretty roomy too. Thinking about trading it in towards a 2015, but I may keep it. Undecided on that.
  3. Oatmeal cookies are where it's at, imo. Although I have the world's biggest sweet tooth, I'm also a huge fan of things with an "earthen" taste to them, which I believe oatmeal and oatmeal cookies possess. They satisfy my sweet tooth and have a uniquely comforting quality I've not found in any other cookie. Not to mention they go better with coffee than any other cookie I've tried.
  4. Much coffee and many cookies will be needed to get through this - http://mlpforums.com/topic/116004-making-christmas-merrier-videogame-livestream/

    Looks like I'm going to need lots of coffee.
  6. Word. Everyone else in my family is decorating, making plans, listening to Christmas music, and everything else you might expect at that time of year, but somehow they always find some way to make themselves miserable and to fight incessantly. This applies to any holiday or special event that most other people might enjoy, like Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, and birthdays. Over the years they significantly improved though, I must admit. Now these things don't fill me with the dread that they once did. Helps that I live alone now, but damn, I hated Christmas or any other happy occasion, and music and decorations of any kind intended to elicit joy and happiness only pissed me off wherever I encountered them because they felt like a taunt. So as a child and through my early adult years, I hated holidays and birthdays. Might be why I tend to forget my own, because they haven't been happy occasions. Now as a man, they aren't so bad. I have total control over how these things go now without having to conform to anyone's plans, and I only keep the company I wish. I find myself appreciating the decorations and music considerably, and enjoying the atmosphere that's settling everywhere leading up to the holiday, rather than anticipating Christmas or any other holiday itself. It's about the journey rather than the destination, you could say.
  7. Does anybody have a TV tuner they'd recommend?

  8. Nothing would be better than some monity hot chocolate right now.

      I've just left the heat off. It's a little colder outside.

  10. Thanks. I would also accept sipping coffee or bourbon in a smoke-filled cafe at night while listening to delta blues. <3
  11. Been a long time since I've seen this thread... Need to revise my earlier post. Black coffee is almost what I use to sustain myself. I drink it constantly, every day. But I still enjoy my liquor and beer. Had a Rolling Rock tonight, and I love min juleps. But yeah, coffee, black. That's almost the definition of my life and probably what I'm most known for. Give it a try.
  12. Lol at all of these people who haven't heard their voices before. Part of me wanted to vote for Lavo just because he's the only Brit, but I went with my man SCS this time. I think either he or Spoon have the best voices for narration. Not that the others don't have lovely voices, just saying those guys have a particular kind of voice for reading. ^^
  13. I demand that everyone conform to my time zone.

      You should show us the rock.

  16. What Aquila said was what I was getting at. Mystery solved. xD It did that to me too back when I was still an admin. Despite being an admin, it kept tossing me back into the Members group and one of the other admins had to fix it daily or sometimes every few hours. Great job, IPB.
  17. Were you already a donor or subscriber before making your Christmas donation?
