  2.  
  3. 2. I play DDR a lot. I've been playing since 2003, and playing seriously since about 2007. I primarily play without holding onto the bar to stabilize my balance. I rarely compete in tournaments.
  4.  
  5. 3. I work in technical theater and live events. You could trace this interest back to my childhood where I was in musicals and plays for church, but I got into the backstage portion during high school, which I believe to be more influential.
  6.  
  7. 4. My preferred department is lighting and electrics, although I can dabble in other areas as well, such as sound and rigging. I have the least experience in wardrobe and costuming.
  8.  
  9. 5. My favorite color is orange. I sometimes have compelling urges to buy things in stores because they are orange moreso than other colors. Usefulness helps too, but orange drives me towards buying.
  10.

  12.

  14.  
  15. 8. I occasionally read novels too. Fahrenheit 451 always stuck with me from high school. I'm a big fan of Edgar Allen Poe. I remember reading a lot of Animorphs as a kid, but I can't recall many details.
  16.  
  17. 9. I was raised Southern Baptist, but left the church when I turned 18. One day, I woke up that morning and simply realized something was missing and wrong about the whole thing, and never looked back.
  18.

  20.  
  21. 11. As a senior in high school, I tried to get into writing. It pains me even now that most of these facts will start with "I" or "Me" and make things redundant or boring.
  22.  
  23. 12. Chinese food is the best. I'm eating some now while writing these facts. My favorites include General Tso's Chicken, Beef and Broccoli, and Steamed Pork Dumplings. Today's choice is Bourbon Chicken.
  24.  
  25. 13. In reference to #174, I can also do it backwards. It is a trait I've had since I was a kid, and I've never really questioned it. For a while I thought everyone could do it.
  26.  
  27. 14. I'm not terribly but to a certain extent obsessed with Bluetooth speakers. Some are cool and have nice lighting effects, others are designed to look cool. Some just have bad functions to them though.

  30.  
  31. 16. I've gone through many cars so far in my life. I'm sorta trapped in the loop that sometimes engine failure is more expensive to fix than getting a used car that will have the same predicament.
  32.  
  33. 17. Coke Life is one of the best sodas. I've gotten hooked on stevia as an alternative to sugar, and really appreciate soda company efforts to bring it to the US.
  34.  
  35. 18. I sometimes speedrun videogames. I've been a small entity within the community since I started running in 2012. I got into the hobby by watching a 16 Star TAS of Super Mario 64 back in 2008 or 2009.
  36.  
  37. 19. I wear a lot of black clothes. It comes with the job, but I was wearing black button up shirts a lot in high school before I got into technical theater. I don't consider myself very gothy though.
  38.  
  39. 20. One of my favorite animes of all time is Samurai Pizza Cats, the English dub. I watched it a lot in 5th grade, and looking back on it now, it was probably the first "abridged" anime parody.
  40.  
  41. 21. I'm pretty much in love with tea. Celestial Seasons is my main jam. Rooibos teas are good too. I am not a fan of unsweetened tea though. Being raised in the South and all.
  42.  
  43. 22. Cats are my favorite animal. I've had plenty as pets. Right now I live with 2 that belong to my housemate. One is named Loki and he is very aggressive when it comes to stealing your food.
  44.  
  45. 23. I unironically enjoy Snakes On A Plane. I saw it opening night in the movie theater and kept the ticket after laminating it. I watch it almost every Halloween season.
  46.  
  47. 24. I'm pretty good at the Kung Fu Panda game at Dave and Buster's. The game only gives you targets in patterns, and knowing how to look for them makes getting jackpots easy.
  48.  
  49. 25. My parents tried making me learn piano as a kid. I wasn't very good, but it did help me learn how to read music sheets and get me started on learning music in general.
  50.  
  51. 26. Politically, I am an independent. To an extent, I do lean left in the spectrum, and that has a lot to do with the political right's reluctance to include human rights for anyone who isn't a straight, white, Christian male.
  52.  
  53. 27. Visual novels on the Nintendo DS are great. One of my favorite things about that system was the inclusion of the genre, and the ideas designers came up with to compliment the hardware.
  54.  
  55. 28. I enjoy grey skies. Not necessarily rainy days, although I like the rain too, but there is something wonderful about a sky full of clouds. Snow storms make great grey skies.
  56.  
  57. 29. I've had car troubles recently, and have started riding a bike to work. I used to do it a lot as a kid, so the sometimes 10 mile bike ride doesn't effect me as much as coworkers think.
  58.  
  59. 30. Timers and countdowns used to freak me out as a kid. I don't know if it was the pressure of completing a task within a time limit or the presence of failure, but I eventually grew over it.
  60.  
  61. 31. My alcoholic drink of choice is rum and coke. I'm fond of Captain Morgan spiced rum, and I was really into Bacardi 151 for the longest time. I don't like wines or beers at all.
  62.  
  63. 32. Point and Click adventure games are my jam. I think it stems back to that Mother Goose rhymes game where you had to find and return items to the characters from the songs.
  64.  
  65. 33. My ideal temperature range is between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Autumn is my favorite season because of this, although Spring has some good moments too. Summer can die in the Sun's fire.
  66.  
  67. 34. I took a public speaking class in high school, not by choice. I did a presentation once on Nintendo controller designs. I messed up the control stick location on the N64. I blame my B grade on that.
  68.  
  69. 35. I worked in a theme park for 7 seasons. I owe a lot of my experience to that. I learned a lot from what I was allowed to work on, but the most important thing I learned was that I was better than that place.
  70.  
  71. 36. I don't go to many conventions. I want to change that, and I have a Junpei cosplay I would like to use someday. I just don't feel like going alone and don't have a lot of close friends who go.
  72.  
  73. 37. I have a strong dislike for Christmas lights. I already didn't like the holiday much, but working on the lights for so long has left me unable to see strands of lights, but only the lamps that are burnt out.
  74.  
  75. 38. The Saw franchise is one of my favorite horror genre series. I watched every film in theaters when they came out on Halloween. And I played the games, even though they sucked.
  76.  
  77. 39. I own every console version of DDR. Extreme 2 is my favorite. MAX 2 takes a close second, as that was the first one I got and is objectively great. Disney Channel Edition is terrible.
  78.  
  79. 40. I recently bought a fidget cube. I don't think it helps me focus or benefits me in any way, but it does keep my hands busy, which is something I've always been bothered by.
  80.  
  81. 41. I was engaged in my early 20's to my long time girlfriend. We unfortunately grew apart from eachother, ended up calling it off and breaking up. We are still on good friendly terms.
  82.  
  83. 42. I've been a fan of professional wrestling since middle school. It didn't take long for me to understand it was scripted, but that gave me more appreciation for it as a form of entertainment.
  84.  
  85. 43. My favorite fruit is the peach. It is tasty and has a nice texture. The banana comes in a close second, except that it has a lot of waste to discard after eating.
  86.  
  87. 44. I've been very lazy about my haircuts recently. I just got one, but I had let my hair grow out way too long, and it becomes wavy and annoyingly curly after a certain length.
  88.  
  89. 45. I've had the same phone for about 5 years now. I don't wanna upgrade if I can avoid it. It does all the functions I need it to do and is very handy in my line of work sometimes.
  90.  
  91. 46. Sour Cream and Onion potato chips are the single best potato chip. There is no competitor. Not even Sour Cream and Cheddar, not even Sour Cream and Chive.
  92.  
  93. 47. I used to be very into Christian Rock as a kid, what with being in church and all. I've grown out of most of it, but Jars of Clay still holds up well due to being more poetic than literal.
  94.  
  95. 48. Berserk is one of my all time favorite mangas/animes. The story of a stubborn character who steels himself to live only to find later in life things worth living and fighting for hit home for me.
  96.  
  97. 49. I'm a quiet person. Not because I hate people or dislike talking. Just because I don't have things to talk about, and I hate small talk simply for the sake of making conversation.
  98.  
  99. 50. I collect Amiibo. Somewhat because they are useful, somewhat out of spite to those who buy them up and increase the price to either make them unavailable or more difficult to own. I have no intent on selling mine.
  100.  
  101. 51. Lavender is my preferred scent for laundry and other cleaning. Bleach disgusts me. Window cleaner is alright depending on the brand, too much ammonia is unbearable.
  102.  
  103. 52. I'm currently single. I prefer the term "inbetween girlfriends" as an optimistic approach. Although I totally understand why no one would be interested in me, so I try not to worry about it too much.
  104.  
  105. 53. I play Pump It Up alongside DDR, and preferred it at one point in time. Right now I feel the songlist and stepcharts don't cater to me or my playstyle, so I'm back on the DDR train.
  106.  
  107. 54. Pizza is life. Of the three biggest chains, at least around here, I would rank them Domino's first, Pizza Hut second, Papa John's third. It really depends on how much grease you're feeling that day.
  108.  
  109. 55. I'm not really a hat kind of person. I will wear them and there are hats I tolerate more than others, but I like being unbridled by headgear. They can also get in the way of my glasses.
  110.  
  111. 56. I don't have any allergies that I know of. Pollen and pet dander don't affect me. I can eat pretty much anything, within reason. Although certain smoke gives me a headache.
  112.  
  113. 57. I listen to a lot of OC ReMix tracks. Video game music has been a big influential part of my life, and the preservation and respect they devote towards it enhances my enjoyment of the songs there.
  114.  
  115. 58. I do own a Himalayan salt lamp. I do not believe it helps or benefits me in any way, shape, or form. I bought it because it is orange and a lamp.
  116.  
  117. 59. Despite enjoying the rain, I hate water getting in my eyes. It burns. Even in the shower. Especially while swimming. I will do quite a lot to avoid water in my eyes.
  118.  
  119. 60. I like iced coffee. My regular way to get it is black, no cream or sugar, with mocha or chocolate syrup. It gives it a slight sweetness that simple syrup or undissolved sugar can't.
  120.  
  121. 61. I enjoy climbing trees. I don't have many opportunities as an adult to do so, nor am I light enough anymore to safely do it with less sturdy trees that I used to.
  122.  
  123. 62. Time travel is an intriguing concept to me. I really like it when stories can use it as a plot device in a way that both makes sense and isn't so convoluted that the viewer can't keep up.
  124.  
  125. 63. I hardly stream, but I'm trying to change that. I recently got a lot of hardware upgrades. Finding time to do so is also a problem with work, although we're about to enter the slow season.
  126.  
  127. 64. I don't go to bars as much as I used to. I went as part of a bigger group, and always had people and things to talk with and about. I don't have that so much anymore, and don't feel compelled to meet new people in bars.
  128.  
  129. 65. MaturedSinner is not my only Twitter account. I also use EarlySalad as a more personal, inner thought account. I also write for SeinfeldSRL, and a few other speedrunning related parody accounts.
  130.  
  131. 66. Of the 4 basic elements in nature, I like Wind the most. Followed by Water, then Earth, then Fire. Heart is just a made up element to make people think they have superpowers.
  132.  
  133. 67. I'm not too interested in first-person shooting games. Not to say I don't enjoy them, but a combination of lazy storytelling and the immature fanbase has turned me off to most.
  134.  
  135. 68. My family had a trampoline when I was a kid. I liked it, mostly as a thing to do and waste time with. I never got good at flipping though. Threw my balance off too much.
  136.  
  137. 69. My favorite number for most of my life has been 32. I feel it is an underrated number that people skipped past because it wasn't part of any big technological marketing campaign.
  138.  
  139. 70. Part of my job involves heights. I feel like I got over the fear or idea of falling rather quickly after starting to work in the air. Now, I enjoy it sometimes more than think about the risks.
  140.  
  141. 71. I'm not very interested in musicals. Odd given my profession, but as far as how I go about entertaining myself, the genre is just not interesting to me in the slightest.
  142.  
  143. 72. I have a freerunning circadian rhythm, which is the basic term for any sleep schedule that is not 24 hours. Mine is slightly more than 24, so I cycle through about every 2-3 months.
  144.  
  145. 73. I apparently look young for my age. I turn 31 this year, and in the past 2 months I've had 2 different coworkers think I'm 25 or younger. I also rarely get carded, but still do occasionally.
  146.  
  147. 74. I don't own a whole lot of shirts or hoodies from shows I've worked. The one I like most is my Monster Stomp hoodie from 2011, but moreso because it is comfy than whatever memory is attached to it.
  148.  
  149. 75. I'm the oldest of 2 other siblings, a brother and a sister. The way it was explained to me is that my parents wanted a daughter and kept trying until they got one. Even as an embryo, I was disappointing people.
  150.  
  151. 76. I remember pronouncing it "Bear in steen" Bears and also that it was spelled Berenstain Bears. I attribute it to slurred language of a kid and also early computer technology that pronounced words in their games weird.
  152.  
  153. 77. I'm a big fan of roller coasters. Not many wow me anymore, but I will always enjoy Apollo's Chariot. It is a decent ride, and it will always have a meme attached to it.
  154.  
  155. 78. Honestly, I don't get the attraction of fermented tea. I can barely deal with stale sweet tea that has been sitting for a few days. Much less tea that could have made alcohol or mold somehow.
  156.  
  157. 79. I occasionally marathon through anime series. I'm trying to keep track this year of which ones I start and finish within the year. Death Parade is my favorite so far this year.
  158.  
  159. 80. I like sushi. There is an all you can eat chain around here that my housemates sometimes go to. I like getting many different kinds so that it doesn't get boring or stale.
  160.  
  161. 81. I have an odd C-wrench that I use with work. It looks like it is supposed to have some kind of clamping feature, but it doesn't work. I use it because it makes a nice handle and I know for certain it is mine.
  162.  
  163. 82. I try to take good care of my feet. They get skeletal muscle cramps though, and that pain can sometimes be so great that I can't move at all until it passes.
  164.  
  165. 83. Sometimes going from a dark place to a bright place makes me sneeze. I thought for most of my life that this happened to everyone. It doesn't, and I guess that makes me unfortunately special.
  166.  
  167. 84. I mostly wear pants. I don't like shorts at all. No amount of ease or comfort will make me wear them willingly. Black cargo pants are the only way to go for me.
  168.  
  169. 85. I sleep with my glasses on. I'm not worried about crushing or breaking them. I'm somehow really good at avoiding that while asleep. I'm more scared of waking up and forgetting where I placed them the night before.
  170.  
  171. 86. Although I like puzzle games, I'm not as fond of action puzzle games like Tetris. I enjoy rather being able to stare at a puzzle as long as I like to come up with a solution in my head.
  172.  
  173. 87. I'm not opposed to karaoke. I used to be in choir as a kid, so I don't think I'm a terrible singer, however I just don't have much interest in going all by myself.
  174.  
  175. 88. Vampire Hunter D is probably one of the most influential animes and novels for me. I personally think the later novels start going downhill, but the first 8 or so are excellent.
  176.  
  177. 89. I pretty regularly cut my fingernails and toenails. In work, I find having long nails means they break easier. And in dance games, I find them to be more likely to cut surrounding toes.
  178.  
  179. 90. I don't like over the head earphones nor the in-ear kind. The pair I use regularly are around the back of the head style. They are the most comfortable and functional for me.
  180.  
  181. 91. I'm a pretty laid back person. I don't like doing things unless they serve a purpose. This can either be seen as lazy or efficient. I also like multitasking by accomplishing several things at once.
  182.  
  183. 92. I don't really have a preferred type of woman I find attractive. I think personality matters more than looks, but as far as looks go, I look at proportionality rather than things like face, skin, hair, etc.
  184.  
  185. 93. The Cat Lady is an excellent game. This might not be so much a fact about me, but it is a fact. Go play it. I enjoyed it. I connected with Susan's character a lot.
  186.  
  187. 94. I'm seriously into making pizzadillas. They are super cheap to make and I found ingredients that come in groups that all run out at the same time. And they have a cool name.
  188.  
  189. 95. My favorite knot is the Alpine Butterfly Loop. You can make it in the middle of a line and it can hold force from any direction. It is also simple to make.
  190.  
  191. 96. I have quite a few world records in video game speedrunning. I don't really think of them as records though. Mostly because I can see how fast they should be, and I don't think highly of myself.
  192.  
  193. 97. I've always been decent at math, but I hate showing work. I got an F in the second semester of Algebra II/Trig in high school because of this, but got a perfect score on the final exam because you didn't have to show work. Passed with a C.
  194.  
  195. 98. I have a strange habit of going to specialty restaurants like steak houses, ramen joints, sandwich shops, etc., and ordering the Chicken Caesar Salad. Go to a special place to get something common.
  196.  
  197. 99. I had a hard time learning hand plants in ITG. Mostly because I wore my left knee out to the point I couldn't put weight on it when bent. It eventually healed, but it stalled my dance games for a while.
  198.  
  199. 100. If you've actually read this far, here's a special fact for you! My eyes are my favorite part about how I look. They are blue and green, but look like one color is breaking away to reveal the other.
  200.  
  201. 101. I think our entire world should be moving away from fossil fuels as the primary energy source. I'm very interested in solar power, but sad that oil and coal companies are rigging our government against renewable energies.
  202.  
  203. 102. I used to watch Adult Swim back when it was first made. I enjoyed watching Yu Yu Hakusho on Toonami censored, and then watch it later that night on Adult Swim only somewhat censored. I also had it uncensored on DVD.
  204.  
  205. 103. I worked at Chick-fil-A as a teenager for 6 years. Most people know of the company due to the owner's bigotry. My store was lucky that the GM was a nice, tolerable man who didn't let employee's sexual preferences stop him from making them top managers.
  206.  
  207. 104. I honestly will eat french fries whether they have dressing drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Dipping ensures even coverage on every bit though, and is superior.
  208.  
  209. 105. The Nintendo Gamecube was the first video game console I owned myself. Every other one I played belonged to a friend or a relative. Luigi's Mansion was my first game for it.
  210.  
  211. 106. I once drank a vodka and orange juice at a party. I got sick overnight. I have ever since then been skeptical of vodka. Although I still will drink it, just not with orange juice.
  212.  
  213. 107. I have the opinion that people overestimate me at work. Either they think too highly of me or think I can accomplish more than I feel I'm capable of. Either way, people hold me in too high regard.
  214.  
  215. 108. I've had periods in my life where I was an asshole to some people and I have since then felt extremely bad about it. I can't ever ask for their forgiveness though, since I can't forgive myself.
  216.  
  217. 109. I have a pretty bad farmer's tan. That is, a noticeable difference between my head and forearms compared to my chest. I've kinda given up on fixing it and just let it continue to get worse.
  218.  
  219. 110. Celery and broccoli are my top tier vegetables. Cucumbers are only good as pickles. Carrots are low tier. I will eat tomatoes, but only processed or cooked, never raw.
  220.  
  221. 111. One of my first anime experiences outside television was when a friend let me borrow her VHS copies of Revolutionary Girl Utena. I enjoyed it. The plot didn't make much sense to me then.
  222.  
  223. 112. The first speedrun I ever did had no recording and I didn't post a time because I thought it was a bad game choice. It was Escape Trick: Rock City Prison for the DSi in about 20 minutes.
  224.  
  225. 113. In the lighting world, colored gels have numbers associated with them. I'm fond of R23, R80, and L201. I suppose I also owe a shoutout to good ole reliable R132.
  226.  
  227. 114. I have a habit of combining Dr. Pepper with sweet tea. I think it tastes great, especially the Chick-fil-A version. Subway's comes in a close second. Mixing that with Sailor Jerry comes in third.
  228.  
  229. 115. I worked a WWE show once a few years ago. I stayed professional despite walking by people I recognized. The thing that surprised me most was how tall Jack Swagger is.
  230.  
  231. 116. I want to eventually cosplay as Decim from Death Parade. I feel like we share similar personalities. That, and it might score me some alcohol at some point since he is a bartender.
  232.  
  233. 117. I watched all of Chappelle's Show when it came out during high school. I was hooked after the first episode. I was sad to hear when he stopped making episodes, but understood his decision.
  234.  
  235. 118. This thing is taking me way too long. Longer than I thought. I have since moved on from my Chinese food and did a WaWa run for a bowl of macaroni and cheese with an Italian sub.
  236.  
  237. 119. My Nintendo Switch friend code is SW-5104-3227-6430. Feel free to friend me. Most of my friends list came from Miitomo, since Nintendo couldn't just make things simple.
  238.  
  239. 120. I like to think. I spend most of my down time thinking. If I'm at work waiting for something, I'm usually thinking about stuff so as to not waste the time and process something.
  240.  
  241. 121. I was really into mystery novels as a kid. Hardy Boys Mysteries, Boxcar Children, Encyclopedia Brown, Clue, pretty much anything that was child appropriate and had a case to solve.
  242.  
  243. 122. My favorite Pokemon is Kabutops. Yeah, I said it. I know it isn't a popular one or really useful in any game. I like the design and the idea of its rarity due to extinction.
  244.  
  245. 123. I have a shrine of sorts to my time working in a theme park. I have something from the majority of the shows I worked there, except for Kinetix. I suppose a garbage bagged T-beam won't fit on my dresser though.
  246.  
  247. 124. I was in the Chess Club at high school. I did my best, but we only had one match against another school and I was put in our 2nd spot. I won my match easily and was disappointed I didn't get a better opponent.
  248.  
  249. 125. Who has two thumbs and once won a mug from McDonald's Monopoly and had it covered in Zero Escape 999 and VLR pictures? This guy. I know you can't see my thumbs. Just believe me.
  250.  
  251. 126. I usually order sandwiches as they come normally even though I pick the tomatoes off and waste them. I do this so as to not confuse the fast food chef into making something other than what I want.
  252.  
  253. 127. I find it annoying that people think "going the government regulated speed limit that you can't go faster than" in the left lane of a 2 lane highway is equal to "going too slow and should be fined and jailed" even though Virginia has no such law.
  254.  
  255. 128. I used to moderate a Sonic the Hedgehog fansite in high school. I became disillusioned with it over time. That, and I didn't quite fit in. I think I was the only non-furry on that small site.
  256.  
  257. 129. I used to listen to classical music on the radio a lot while driving before I got better music players like my phone. 107.9 was only available halfway to work, so I listened to 90.3 the other half.
  258.  
  259. 130. This was a bad idea. That is a fact. I included the like from that Metroid Prime pic when it was less than 100. Now it is over 1,600. I'm glad I set a limit of 1,000 facts.
  260.  
  261. 131. I recently worked the ballet Swan Lake, which inspired me to watch Black Swan. It reminded me a lot of Perfect Blue, except it ended without a clear antagonist or answer. I was a bit saddened.
  262.  
  263. 132. There are quite a few games I want to play and own, but I just can't get myself to do it for some reason. Like Silent Hill 3, Chrono Cross, and DK64. I want to, I just don't.
  264.  
  265. 133. I like wearing light hoodies, even if it is moderately warm out. I like the option of pulling the sleeves up to cool off or pulling them down if it gets chilly.
  266.  
  267. 134. I really liked reading Vagabond before I slipped out of manga phase. Like Berserk, the protagonist honing his skill and maturity while searching for something worth using them to live for intrigued me.
  268.  
  269. 135. I played with Legos a lot as a kid. I liked building with them, but I moreso liked that I could create characters and an environment for them, and then change either to suit a story.
  270.  
  271. 136. I don't like cherries. I can tolerate the flavor when it is in candy form or whatnot, but the fruit itself I cannot stand. The worst is when it is made into a half fruit, half syrup sauce.
  272.  
  273. 137. My eyesight is pretty terrible. It is so bad, my prescription cannot be made on thin lenses. I'm opposed to contacts. I don't think I could manage them well.
  274.  
  275. 138. That said, I would like to get laser eye surgery one day. After that, maybe I would be less opposed to getting decorative contacts, like for that Decim cosplay.
  276.  
  277. 139. I worked at an arcade for about a year. I kinda enjoyed it, except that we were understaffed, our manager did little to fix the issues we weren't allowed to, and the place attracted some stupid people.
  278.  
  279. 140. I have a lot of friends that I met through house parties that I've rarely talked with since. I don't wanna unfriend most on Facebook because I'm afraid they remember me more than I remember them.
  280.  
  281. 141. I wanna get into animation at some point. I have an idea for a story, and animation would be the best way to tell it. I hope I can eventually get to share it.
  282.  
  283. 142. I have a scar on my left ring finger from where I was once cutting lemons and missed. Or rather, I hit too much. Either way, it's not that noticeable unless you are staring at it.
  284.  
  285. 143. Picross is a great game. I really enjoy the logic in solving puzzles, and how you can go about learning that logic just by playing.
  286.  
  287. 144. I like fast food coupons. The ones we get around here are generally useful. Burger King and Hardee's usually have the best deals. I could go for some Hardee's burgers any day.
  288.  
  289. 145. My favorite professional Wrestler of all time is Brock Lesnar. Mmmmm, yes, give your smart mark rage. I enjoyed the man during the Ruthless Aggression era, and still do.
  290.  
  291. 146. One of my favorite lighting tricks is during a church gathering or service, when everybody bows their heads to pray, changing the level of the house lights so they don't notice.
  292.  
  293. 147. I often reference Indian in the Cupboard, but no one ever gets it. Usually, we are talking about something that is plastic, so I have to say "Plastic. Plaaaaaaaaaastic!"
  294.  
  295. 148. DDR Extreme has a filter for high score names so you can't swear. I used to get around that on lesser played machines by taking the top 4 spots with names like "FFFF" and "UUUU" and so on.
  296.  
  297. 149. My favorite chess piece is the knight. Because it doesn't go in a straight line, I think it makes the game more than 2 dimensional in a way. Also on tiled floors, I step just like it moves.
  298.  
  299. 150. I don't want to have kids. I don't care if that is weird or uncool. I'm not a father figure and I don't want to be. I really don't care about passing on my DNA when there is so much in my mind I can pass off without chance of my failure.
  300.  
  301. 151. I have a tendency to think faster than others and it sometimes hurts me in my job. Where I act upon what I believe should be the next step, someone else doesn't think that far ahead and does things differently which negates my actions.
  302.  
  303. 152. When I was a kid, I was told I couldn't go into a friend's treehouse until I was 10 years old. They moved out when I was 9. I realized then that waiting until time has passed you enough was not a good reason for waiting.
  304.  
  305. 153. My power is derived from cheese and broccoli soup. Put some chicken in that and I am unstoppable. I have built up a lifetime of energy from this dish.
  306.  
  307. 154. My first show working on lighting in high school was Footloose. The drama teacher wanted the finale to be flashy, but I had only just learned the light board, so midshow I discovered Bump Buttons.
  308.  
  309. 155. One of my favorite animes that I don't see being very popular is Princess Resurrection. I absolutely love everything about it, but I don't think may people have heard of it, which I find sad.
  310.  
  311. 156. I listen to Lindsey Stirling a bunch. I have her Shatter Me and Brave Enough albums. She did a show not too long ago nearby, and I was sad I couldn't go to it and even more sad that I could have worked it.
  312.  
  313. 157. I always wanted to get into fencing, but never had the opportunity. I feel confident I could be good at sword fighting, but at this point in my life I don't think I can find time for it.
  314.  
  315. 158. My favorite donut is a Boston Creme filled with chocolate icing donut. I can't stand the kind covered in powdered sugar. Or any donut covered in powdered sugar.
  316.  
  317. 159. I regularly weigh about 200 pounds. Right now, I'm a little over because I've been eating a lot lately, but I was also recently as low as 190 pounds.
  318.  
  319. 160. I think the single best tool to have in my line of work is a volt meter. I don't use it often on other peoples' shows, but it is most useful for testing connectivity.
  320.  
  321. 161. I can make a pretty mean spaghetti with meat sauce. I don't know how many other people would enjoy it, but I could eat it for days without any problem whatsoever.
  322.  
  323. 162. I'm not really into fanservice in anime and manga in the form of out of place sexualization. If the plot, art style, tone, atmosphere, or situation call for it, then it feels so disconnected that it disinterests me completely.
  324.  
  325. 163. When I was a kid, I used to leave my window open all throughout winter. I really like the cold and being outside in the snow. My area rarely gets weather like that though.
  326.  
  327. 164. I'm pretty into Splatoon. I never joined a team despite playing a lot because my work schedule conflicted with 100% of tournaments. I still appreciate those who let me play with them. Team Marie 4 lyfe.
  328.  
  329. 165. I wear boxer briefs. Briefs are too tight, and boxers are too loose, so boxer briefs make the most sense to me. And no, they are not Hanes, Michael Jordan, stop asking.
  330.  
  331. 166. I used to play Doubles a lot in dance games, that is using both pads rather than one. I haven't done so a lot lately because the new DDR won't let you play Doubles for only one credit like most older ones.
  332.  
  333. 167. One of my favorite things about my work is that I pretty much make my own schedule to a degree. Employers ask me to work certain days, and I respond to the ones I can or want.
  334.  
  335. 168. I've been sitting on a project for some time where I wanted to make a bunch of FishFry Visors. I recently got all the items to finish them, and hope to soon.
  336.  
  337. 169. I like ice cream. It is hard not to. I like cheesecake ice cream a lot. I like referencing Forest Gump sometimes when the subject comes up. Because ice cream.
  338.  
  339. 170. I don't have any definitive genre of music I like. I certainly have some that I enjoy more likely than others, but I listen to many different styles, and I like songs based on how they make me feel rather than what they sound like.
  340.  
  341. 171. Peach tea is my favorite flavor of tea. No matter the brand, as long as it has peach, it is good by me. Gold Peak Tea is one of my goto premade teas for the peach variety.
  342.  
  343. 172. I used to watch Comedy Central a lot. When I stopped getting cable TV, I tried to keep up online, but just kinda stopped over time. I don't feel inclined to watch much on there anymore sadly.
  344.  
  345. 173. I do have a kind of crush on a coworker. She is an excellent woman whom I respect greatly. I just don't wanna be unprofessional and ask her out while we are working or do something to ruin our working relationship, so we don't hang out much outside of work.
  346.  
  347. 174. I like hiking and walking through trails. I don't get to do it often, but you get to see some really cool sights. Walking forward is one of the best feelings.
  348.  
  349. 175. One of my favorite things about stories and writing is foreshadowing. That and hiding plot right in front of the viewer. When a story can make you go back and think "Was this going on the whole story?" that means it is good.
  350.  
  351. 176. I'm a Libra, which either means a lot to you or means absolutely nothing. I'm in the camp that it doesn't affect me. I sometimes read horoscopes just to laugh at how wrong they are.
  352.  
  353. 177. I used to play this DSi game called Number Battle a lot. I was pretty good at it, but the online play was underdeveloped at the time, and the single player was boring after time. I wish it came back now that online play is easier.
  354.  
  355. 178. Captain Jack is seriously underrated as far as DDR music goes. Even though he is so recognized, he deserves more, and it is sad that he passed away before seeing the game hit this evolutionary stage.
  356.  
  357. 179. I'm not very interested in sports like football or baseball. I just can't get into them. Whenever those events happen though, I root for Oakland because it is technically my hometown.
  358.  
  359. 180. A lot of my humor comes from references or just seeing patterns in life where two things are similar. I sometimes feel like some people just laugh when I point it out so as to not make me feel bad that they don't get it.
  360.  
  361. 181. I'm not much of a dog person. I don't mind them, but I just don't understand them well enough I suppose. My housemate has 2 dogs, and I get along with them well, but I just don't care for them much.
  362.  
  363. 182. The light board one of my workplaces used to use was the Congo, which talks in Reverse Polish Notation. I had the hardest time learning it, but I don't think it interferes with how I talk to other boards.
  364.  
  365. 183. I was in a youth group as part of church as a kid. I never felt like I fit in, and I don't think many people were fond of my being there. Not necessarily upset I was there, just indifferent.
  366.  
  367. 184. Monster is a really good manga. I like the story, how it is presented, and how all the characters interact with eachother. It is a high standard for me of character progression.
  368.  
  369. 185. I prefer using cash instead of credit card. Cards take a long time to process and accounts sometimes do transactions out of order, and cash is simpler and instant.
  370.  
  371. 186. Despite playing dance games, I'm not into dancing otherwise. Like, I don't actively seek out opportunities or events to dance at. No arrows means no fun.
  372.  
  373. 187. Although, when I operate a spotlight, I kinda envision it like a dance. They move on stage, I move with them. I even have similar hand placement to ballroom dancing.
  374.  
  375. 188. Ranch is the superior dressing for all purpose eating. I will eat it with quite a lot of things. For salads though, Creamer Caesar dressing edges it out.
  376.  
  377. 189. I play Samus and Pikachu in Super Smash Bros games. I don't play competitively, and I use the C-Stick half of the time. My first game was Melee, and is so far my favorite of the series.
  378.  
  379. 190. I once was ambitious and tried to make a huge rotating bookcase. It didn't rotate quite as well as I hoped, but it was sturdy and held all of my manga. It got destroyed when I moved out.
  380.  
  381. 191. I get cuts and bruises all the time. Part of my job is just accepting that I will be constantly bleeding. I'm pretty much over it, and don't feel much whenever I get hurt.
  382.  
  383. 192. I have been summoned for jury duty only once. I was not picked to be on a jury, and was excused. I was paid for 2 hours at minimum wage at the time for that. I could have made more at real work that day.
  384.  
  385. 193. I don't really have dreams. Nothing that seems dreamlike anyways. I think my brain processes info while I'm asleep, and sometimes I get a glimpse of it, but it's not dreaming, more like recalling whatever is processing.
  386.  
  387. 194. I once taught someone at work how to properly wire an Edison plug by using The Legend of Zelda and the Triforce as a visual example. It made sense to me at least.
  388.  
  389. 195. Portable battery chargers are my life now. I took a few to a convention and was on the floor the whole time. I've been hooked on them ever since.
  390.  
  391. 196. I really enjoy the anime Suzuka. I don't typically like romantic anime, but I connected with both protagonists so well, that I watched and read the whole thing.
  392.  
  393. 197. I'm addicted to energy drinks. Red Bull is my goto, with Monster Rehab Peach Tea as a close second. I've tried for years to ween myself off of them, but my job sometimes demands them.
  394.  
  395. 198. Despite liking the wind, I don't really like fans. The wind they produce feels artificial. The gusts that nature makes are much more enjoyable to me.
  396.  
  397. 199. Thanks for reading through all of this, or just skipping down to the bottom. I appreciate every one of the people who follow and support me, even if I don't always express it.
  398.  
  399. 200. Combining the likes from the Metroid Prime pic onto this meme was a mistake. I know I said that already, but my whole life leading up to this was a mistake too.
