Okay. Thimoty Lilliehook has tagged me to do the “Eight Random Facts” meme.
Here are the rules:
(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
(4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
Evil kitty. I should slap you for that, I’m not in the mood for meme play. I have no time either. I should be working on MachinimaCam but instead I will bore you to death with those 8 random facts about me.
1. Nothing calms me more than the sound of the rain or water falling. When I was a kid I used to lock myself in the bathroom, turn on the shower to maximum strength, roll myself in a thick towel and lay down on the floor. I could stay like that hearing the water fall for hours sometimes. Too bad for the spoiliage. I also love being in a car or in a house with galvanized roof covering to hear the loud noise of the rain hitting the metal. I have several recordings of heavy rainstorms that I listen to when I’m really stressed and can’t sleep. Helps me relax.
2. I am struggling with substance abuse problems since the age of 12. I went from heroin, to cocaine, to meth, to speeds. I probably tried and abused every available substance. Lately it was more amphetamines. It kept me awake for the last year. Lately I strongly slowed down, I only take some from time to time, about twice a month. When I was a teenager I did over 12 severe overdoses, at least 6 of them should have been fatal. All of them on a substance known as PCP or Angel Dust, that was readily available and cheap as dirt, but an horrible toxic mix badly dosed. Therefore today I’m strongly engaged in decriminalizing marijuana, which probably saved my life and cured me from heroin addiction, and I am strongly in favor legalizing all other substances. For me, having them under medical supervision is far better than leaving drug trafficking to the street gangs. But since the governments use drugs to control it’s population through both legal and illegal drugs, advocating legalization isn’t a piece of cake. Propaganda is strong and people don’t understand that if they keep it illegal, criminals will deal it, with the subsequent overdoses, impure substance intoxications, and total lack of treatment and medical supervision.
3. I love cats. I hate dogs. Got snapped by a Rotweiler and could have lost my fingers. I have a rabid phobia of dogs so I never let any approach me. I have 2 cats, called Void and Voline. I found Void in a dumpster eating in the garbage of a Chinese restaurant in Vancouver. She was starving and meager. I own Voline since my first apartment as a teenager. I was 16 or 17. So she’s getting old. She witnessed so much debauchery, and most of my adult life, when she goes away that will really hurt.
4. My first computer was a TRS-80 Color Computer from Radio Shack. The Coco 2 with 16kb of RAM and Extended Basic from Microsoft. Worked with a cassette tape, the CR-81. Learned Motorola 6809 assembly language at age 8. 8086 assembly at age 12. C at 14. Now I program a dozen programming languages.
5. I like pr0n. Yes, I do. Especially old Danish or German porn from the 80’s, like Color Climax and so on. Those people knew how to make porn. It looked amateur, and it was pretty kinky.
6. I love watching Saturday morning cartoons while eating a bowl of sugary cereals. Yeah I love all kinds of adult cartoons too from Daria to Ghost In The Shell.
7. I’m from a single mom family. I have one little brother which I had to take care of because we were in financial difficulties too. I come from far on that point. I panhandled often for a few hot-dogs. I love cooking. I can roll sushis. I’m pretty imaginative when it comes to invent recipes with little material. Comes like that when you fed in food banks for a while.
8. I’m a workaholic. No, really. I work about 10h a day, get in SL and work another 10. I slacked a bit lately because I couldn’t take it anymore, I’m burning out the candle by both ends. But I’m working on it and try to rest as much as I can. Being hyperactive without a treatment, my brain is always on and spewing things, so I have nothing but a good joint to slow it down at the end of the day.
That’s pretty much it. Now let’s find some victims. ACQUIRING TARGETS: October Hush, Chloe Streeter, Dalien Talbot, Eloise Pasteur, Elusyve Jewell, GoSpeed Racer, Kisa Naumova, Tyffany Flintoff. Yeah you guys can hate me but blame Timothy for hitting me in the first place. EDIT: Elysyve was already tagged and GoSpeed’s blog needs registering for comments. So I had to find two new victims: Rosie Barthelmess and Phoenix Ellsberg
