I need to get around more often, I miss the greatest threads! Okay, my turn:
1. My real name is George, but all my friends call me Barrett (my middle name).
2. I'm 5'11"
3. I was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
4. I stayed in New Orleans during Katrina for 3 months to help family. Big learning experience..
5. I'm a quarter Mexican, and despite the fact that I've never been to Mexico and know very little Spanish, am still very proud of my heritage.
6. I've never been outside of the U.S., but plan to move to Osaka, Japan after college.
7. I'm probably just about the shiest human being on this planet if I meet you for the first time in person.
8. I hate football (American), yet played it from the age of 6 to 17.
9. Why? Exercise and getting out anger.
10. I'm a Final Fantasy addict and own every game to date, along with the entire Legend of Zelda series.
11. I still consider myself a hardcore gamer, yet I hardly play games anymore due to time constraints.
12. Despite my somewhat dislike for it now, my favorite manga series is still Dragonball.
13. I've been an otaku since about 9 when I first saw Dragonball Z. Cosplayed, went to conventions, and have every episode on both VHS and DVD. I also own many, many figurines.
14. During middle school, I wanted to be popular (*GASP*), so to boost my popularity level to 1, I smoked a cigarette in the middle of class and put it out on my teacher's desk. My younger sister goes to that same middle school and tells me people still talk of it, but someone different claims he/she did it every year. (PHAILURE AGAAIIIIIINNNNN!!!
)
15. My first experience with death was with a lizard name Iggy. I cried a lot. I also accidentally killed it by tripping over an ant pile, thus having me and poor Iggy bitten to hell.
16. My full name is George Barrett Lucas, and just about every other day I fool at least one person saying I am related to "THE" George Lucas (he created Star Wars for those of you that live under rocks) and am loaded with dough. I've also gotten exactly 3 meals free my entire life doing this little charade with my dad ( who is also named George Lucas) there to help out.
17. My favorite food in general is the ever scrumptious cherry.
18. My favorite drink is apple juice.
19. (Another George Lucas story) I convinced my entire Elementary school (including the teachers) that I was George Lucas' son...till my dad came to open house. Then I didn't get recess for a week.
20. I printed out a fake lottery ticket one night to play a joke on my parents. Long story short: They thought for a night that we were so very rich and are so idiotic with their money spending that they were already planning a trip to Hawaii. I told them before they went through with it.
21. I hate tomatoes and will throw up (literally) if I taste one.
22. I also hate dip, and if I smell the wintergreen flavor of it, will become nauseous. Lucky for me, most of my friends dip. Their favorite flavor is wintergreen.
23. In High School I ate dog food as a bet. It wasn't that bad.
24. Oh yeah...and no, I don't like Star Wars, I hate it, it disgusts me.
25. Yes, I really do hate it. I hate most Sci-Fi movies.
26. I was deathly afraid of the dark until I locked myself, screaming and crying, in my bathroom for a few hours until I didn't care anymore. The reason I didn't care was because I was so hungry that I forgot that it was dark. I was a REALLY smart kid.
27. My dad still has a video recording of my running in circles, naked (I was 5 or so), to the Wizard of Oz theme song, singing it. My best friend pulled a nice little prank on me by broadcasting it on our local High School news show one week.
28. I got him back by putting hot sauce in his Icy Hot one day. It was funny.
29. He then got me back by throwing me out of the shower room (we were in Football together) into the High School parking lot ass naked. It wasn't funny.
30. I'm still thinking of what to get him back with for that one.
31. I've never see snow before (aside from TV).
32. I hate math more than anything else in this world.
33. I love English (I'm not copying GK, I swear).
34. My favorite Naruto character is Yamato.
35. My favorite Bleach character is Isshin.
36. I tend to have a hard time reading manga that's not from Shonen Jump. I love SJ too much. It's dumb, I know. I still love it.
37. I can't eat anything but cereal in the morning, else I'll become nauseous.
38. I used to go out in my backyard (don't remember how old I was, but I was young) and eat leaves off trees thinking I was eating my vegetables. My dad still gives me shit for it.
39. I really have had monkey throw poo at me. It missed. I threw an orange at it. I didn't miss.
40. I LOVE German Shepard dogs, aside from my full bred yellow lab *sticks nose in air*, they're the only breed of dog I'll own.
41. I love to cuddle. No, I'm not kidding. It's fun and makes me feel warm and fluffy inside.
42. My favorite days are when the sky is a bit dark, but it's still kind of bright. Also, the sun has to be hidden by the clouds. And it can't rain a drop. It also must be 75 degrees. That's my perfect day. I've had a few.
43. I sold my Pokemon card collection when I was younger to a kid I didn't like for $250. I bought the same collection on Ebay the next day for $25. I sold that one to another kid for $50.
44. I ate nothing but pie for a week as a bet. It was yummy. I also gained 12 lbs.
45. I then lost it by being inspired by watching Forest Gump and running downtown. I didn't keep track of how far I ran, but I ended up calling my dad to come pick me up.
46. I gained it back again by discovering that a good friend of mine who happens to be a woman can cook cookies like no other. They're still my favorite cookies.
47. I love ferrets. My nickname is Barrett the Ferret by those that have seen my love for the little guys.
48. I have no idea what I want to be "when I grow up".
49. I'm actually 18 despite my profile saying I'm 19. I'm too lazy to ask for a change.
50. When going scuba diving with my grandpa as a young lad, my foot was "swallowed" by a Whale Shark (it put my foot in it's mouth). I cried the whole day. The next day, I rode one for a while and named him Humpersnickle. He's still my best friend.
