Get to know a Big Nerd.
Name: Thorin
Why, Yes, it is an interesting name. It's Icelandic. Kinda, I'm one fourth Icelandic, but it's the most interesting part of my heritage.
Age: 20
Sorry, *****, I beat puberty.
Residence: Canada!
Hair Color: Red.
This is relevant. And that's right, I didn't put a U in color. Why make the effort?
Favorite Animal: Dinosaur
So, when I was five-ish, I went through this phase where I really loved Dinosaurs. It's back with a passion. Bacteria (even though they aren't animals) and Sea Turtles are a close second.
Gaia: (?)
I don't like anime( or manga or whatever you feel the need to call it to make yourself feel Hardcore) or internet communities but here i am. Pretty damn addicted.
Other Stuff
Interests wouldn't, work, so for those of you who are interested in people you've never met, Here They are!:
I like Novelties.
This happens to be why I am the proud owner of a garden gnome, Negative Threat Batman(TM probably), Jesus action figure, a key-chain etch-a-sketch, Little dinosaurs that started of as eggs and grew into bigger dinosaurs with water, A Wolfmother CD( A lovely band that i don't like but I happened across their CD and it had a glorious naked woman on it, painted by the Immortal Frank Frazetta), Two staple removers( one named Gimpy and another named Gimpy Junior, they help me steal posters from down town), a Chinese hackey sack, a pyramidal clock, a batman kite(Who would sell that?), several Starwars: episode III action figures from burger king, a small vial of maple syrup, a pickle jar( used both to grow dinosaurs and to harbor sea monkeys, the latter of which died.), a Street Armour Teenage Mutant Ninja, Turtle, Window writers, a small Silver Surfer van(Why does he need a van, he has a flying surfboard!) and much, much more.
Conversely, I also like Old things.
This is probably why my recently deceased backpack was older than I am. And why my shoes are really more like sandals.
I also like vocabulary.
Unfortunately you'll never get the chance to witness any of the exquisite words I like to try to use, but never really can bring them up in a conversation. Here's a few good ones: Quintessential, Nebulous and Animadversion. Good, hey?
I also like biology, which happens to be why I chose to study it as a post-secondary adventure.
I like Art. Okay, so it isn't that I don't like anime. The first guy(Gal?) to come up with it had an awesome style. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to pinpoint the identity of said individual. Too many people have now adopted it as their own style instead of bothering to come up with something original. Equally unfortunate, anime seems to have been incorporated into the zeitgeist of our times.
I like being a swim instructor/Lifeguard, I get payed an above average rate to play with kids and sit in a chair and watch people. However, due to the immense responsibility I take, I am still very under payed. More Money!
I like Skiing and Snowboarding, Yay for living an hour or so away from the rocky mountains.
I like ethnic(other ethnicity, in case that wasn't implied) food. even if it's not really what people eat in that country, just the fast and americanized equivalent.
