1: I nearly killed myself when I was about 4 or 5. Growing up a had an awesome GI Joe tent. I took it apart one day and I was playing with one of the plastic tubes. I took one of the tubes with me into the tub and I was filling my mouth with water and then using the tube like a straw to shoot water every where. I stood up to get out of the tub and and fell face first with the tub in my mouth. I nearly punctured my brain. My parents rushed me to the hospital to have them remove the tub from my mouth which I had clamped down on... it was pretty scary. I still have a scar in the back of my mouth from it.
2: I'm an Eagle Scout. I used to be very involved with the Boy Scouts back in my home town. The head of our scout troop was/is a retired Marine (Vietnam vet). He has friends and contacts at Bases all over the place and he has taken many kids on base to do cool stuff. I've been able to sit in an M1A1 tank. I've stood next to a missile silo on a nuclear sub... it was loaded with a city killer. That's a very scary thing. Camping is one of my favorite things to do. Unfortunately I don't do it very often anymore.
3: I love surfing, sailing and pretty much anything you can do on the water. We have a pool at the house I grew up in. I used to be able swim about 5 laps underwater.
4: I used to do Triathlon training. I would bike for 30 miles or so, swim about two miles, and run for about an hour... I used to be in great shape. Not so much now.
5: I don't speak Spanish. I should learn to...
6: I like people with odd body mods... it's fascinating to me. Like that chick with the forked tongue that was making the rounds on the internet a while back. That kind of forced change to the human body is just... well, like I said, fascinating to me. Also, Lizard Man.
7: I am a compulsive buyer. I buy more games than I beat. In fact I've bough a lot of games that I've only played once. I've bought PC games before I had a PC that could run them. I am a consumer whore D:
8: I play the Piano. I can play the drums... a little. I like to sing... but I usually sing falsetto. It's more fun that way. 80's hair metal is the best for this.
9: I like to dance. Seriously. I'll just do a little dance when I'm really happy... or hyper.... or drunk... which is almost all the time.

about me
I love video games. I love them for better or for worse. It's a passion that will for ever drain my bank account and waking hours.
I've spent more money on game consoles, pc setups, and games than I've spent on any other type(s) of product... other than food and gas of course.
I'm currently playing:
Little Big Planet
Halo 3
Gears of War 2
Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 2
WipeOut HD

Eagle Scouts all over the fuckin' place on Dtoid. Are you guys planning a rebellion of some sort?
Not yet...
I can teach you dirty spanish, I learned working at a mexican restaraunt.
Psh, I already knew number 10
*Dances all up on Tdiddy*
Shit, there are a lot of Eagles here... Also #7 used to apply to me, a lot. I've gotten better about it though, for my wallet's sake...
I've stayed at your house and No 10 is absolutely true.
Horrifyingly true.
Si Si!!
Muy bueno hombre. :D
Ok Bruce Lee!(number 4)
I was no where even close to Bruce Lee. That dude was like Robocop, the Ternminator, Ah-Nuld, Solid Snake, and Samus all in one and then some.
@Marques, you know you loved it :D
@Y0J1M0, Les prometo que voy a jugar más SOCOM con ustedes esta semana.
I dance too.
I was a Life Scout, but that's as far as I go.
