11 Interesting things about yourself

[sajungzak]

Not for me, and I'm US-based.

Well, that's not fair.

I know. I guess the internet just doesn't like you.

ManUnited supporter, I suppose?
I heard we haven't got the same rights as everyone else.

I don't know what that is. Soccer? Politics?

6. I am very quiet around people. It takes a lot for me to open up. I much prefer to sit back and watch than to participate.
7. I will occasionally more often than not have trouble taking a personal project to completion. HQP is proof of this But I'm working on it, I promise!
8. I have an absolutely horrible memory, which makes me look more stupid than I really am at times.

#6 is to such an extent that I've been accused of being antisocial before, which is totally false of course, but I can see how people could see it that way. (And there's me seeing the other side of the argument, too).

Some of my friends have told me they thought I was creepy when they first met me because I didn't talk, I would just sit there and watch and listen. I actually don't talk much at all, even with people I know. I've gone entire weekends without saying anything to my roommate.

I could copy and paste ALOT of things and they are true for me!

1. "I have an absolutely horrible memory, which makes me look more stupid than I really am at times."
2. The most precious thing I have in my life is my education. I was so damn lucky to get alot more Science courses than I should have been allowed for a Bachelor of Arts degree - majoring in Psyc! (~half my credits were pure Sci courses)
3. While Star Wars is very cool, there is nothing like Star Trek TOS - sure it's dated and cheesy....but Shatner Kirk RULES!
4. My favorite plants are ferns...and cycads! They have been around for a long time, and they "just look so awesome!"
5. Martial Arts are a defining part of my life. I teach and I train.
6. My Science education has given me an accurate picture of what reality is. "Belief" is not in my vocabulary; only FACT.
7. I love Dinosaur Paleontology to the point I always have to have one as a pet. My current Cockatiel is perfect - not too big to be an attention drain, and not too small to be stupid, either.
8. While I played loads of FASA Star Trek Starship Tactical Combat Simulator in the 80's (BEFORE TNG debuted) I only played HQ once to help my cousins with their Xmas gifts. After that I didn't play it again for over 20 years.
9. I absolutely love women. Females - they make life worth living. Some of them can be real scum, but most are....alluring.
10. I love dancing (to 80's music) at parties/clubs but I don't get much chance to do that these days.
11. I would live in a rural area if I could make it work financially.

Very cool! You don't have to be a fan of martial arts to appreciate that video!

Also cool video of yourself! I liked the part where you check out your phone while kicking!

Cheers. I was trying to time myself. That’s one of those records I mentioned. Number of head height kicks in a minute. I’ve easily got the speed (I can do it a lot faster now I’ve practicing it), I’ve just got to last for the whole minute rather than about fifteen seconds and I’m there. I’ve never known a minute to take so long. Although there’s nothing stopping me beating it by one and then stopping I suppose, other than it’s hard to keep count.

I’m glad all the non martial artists who have seen it so far have really liked it. That’s very encouraging. I knew martial artists would like it. Her sister’s done a really cool professionally produced and directed video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6CrKnLIRnI That’s what I’d love to do. One thing at a time.

When I click the link it takes me to my youtube app with a message about one or more copyright owners blocking streaming of this video in the US.

I was afraid of that. It’s far too big to upload here, I tried it. PM me your E-mail address and I’ll send it to you if you like.

5. Martial Arts are a defining part of my life. I teach and I train.

What style?

I just did a video of the sister. She's not quite as good as the older one but very few people are and she's still at a much higher standard than most other instructors. Ginger Ninja next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbnJ5rtaN5U, then me.

I'll have to admit I was somewhat disappointing seeing the actual video after reading those words...

[Gold Bearer]

What's wrong with it? It's a different vibe to the first one because she's more light hearted than the older one. I used all music from the videos I used to make it this time. What didn't you like about it?

[Gold Bearer]

I changed the music at the end. I thought it would be good to end with the same track it started with but this goes much better with the last bit. It was a good track to start with but not to end with. Music makes a huge difference.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but a few people have said they're interested in martial arts or liked the first video.
