Post something about yourself people would not guess about you.

I have an interest in history. Always my favorite subject. Due to studying Germany from 1871 to post World War 2, i collect documentaries and watch anything to do with Nazi Germany. I`m not studying it anymore but it`s hard not to take an interest in anything new that comes out.

I`m also obsessed with the Titanic history. Collect anything to do with the ship. Watch everything relating to the disaster.

I love history, especially Tudor history, and visiting stately homes and castles.

Although I'm not religious, I love Christmas Carols and church music in general.

Hmmm...Despite my rather outlandish and vicious appearance, I'm actually a very loving, caring and sensitive person. Smile

(Who, sadly, is easily hurt! Sad

)

And I may be somewhat paranoid here...But I can see this thread opening up a whole new can of worms for certain people! Wink

When I was in my teens (at school) my friend and I were an acoustic duo and used to sing around our local area. We also appeared on telly in a children's talent show called 'Junior Showtime' which was hosted by (a young) Mark Currie and Bonnie Langford had a regular spot on the programme.

StevieB when I was in my twenties I spent a year in Munich working as an au pair and the lady I worked for (Dr Rosemarie von dem Knesebeck) was a published author and WW2 historian specialising in Hitler and Nazi Germany and was very good friends with David Irving who was a regular guest at the house.

Although I may come across as being really confident deep down inside I am shy and insecure.

I don't handle my emotions very well.

I like cooking and gardening, and i used to be a Drag Quuen in a night club.

I used to take Drama and be involved in drama productions. Then one time i got stage fright and ever since cannot speak or perform in public.
I can be loud and outspoken in smaller groups but even larger groups, i can go quite. But one on one, i`m loud and lery.

Here's another from me...
Back when I used to live in Aldershot, I used to drink only in the towns gay bar! Shocked

Although I'm actually straight, I found that the bar not only had a much more pleasant atmosphere - But it was the only place where I could drink in peace and not get started on by drunken squaddies! Shocked

(As ye may know, Aldershot is a large garrison town - And does get some rather raucious soldier crowds hanging about after dark! Surprised

)

...It has to be said though that being hit on by members of the same sex was a little unnerving for me - But then again, I don't have a problem with homosexuals at all and I just told them that I was straight! Cool

Farewell... Twisted Evil

I think somebody in the club is perfect but would never tell her. Problem is, said the same thing to the wrong person and it went bad. Can`t even work out why i said it to that person, when the other was in my thoughts? We men be tricky en it.

I spend far too much time playing World of Warcraft for my own good! Surprised

Although I know that there are other things that I need to get on with, I can't help it...I'm well and truly hooked! Shocked

Well...Hooked enough to pay £9.00 every month to keep my subscription going, at any rate! Rolling Eyes

Of course, a year after that I started smoking...And look at me now! Sad

People think I'm happy and outgoing but I'm really quite lacking in confidence and can be very emotional.

If i had a winful of cash i would set up a bird farm/sanctuary. I would love to to be involved in swan/peacock and bird rescue. I have a deep love of birds and avery birds. Have kept and bread parrots and avery birds since i was a child.

Despite my general appearance and what it might suggest to most people, I'm actually borderline teetotal! Shocked

Well, I do enjoy drinking and I'm always happy to have a beer or two when the time is appropriate...But nowadays I never find the time nor occasion to drink. Indeed, I normally only drink in nightclubs nowadays anyway! Smile

I've got really bad stage fright but managed to get up and do karoake at Peakstones

Steven Burns · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 1777

I was impressed at Bunnie and Trax at Peakstones karaoke. I was ready to rip the proverbial out of them and was gutted as they were good.

I also had a strange incident with Smiler! Confused

Despite my yearning to be in employment for ages, I'd still not be willing to give up World of Warcraft in the name of it! Shocked

I have a dodge elbow, it goes back the other way and does other werid stuff (I broke it when I was 7 and then exactly a year after, I did it again and broke it in the same place again!)

I have a very strange perchant for massacring conversation and getting told-off by board admins for posting stuff that is neither obscene, nor offensive! Sad

I had a first metatarsal osteotomy on my left foot in 2004.

This is going to sound totally wrong...But over the last 48 hours I've fallen head over heels in love with one of my WoW characters... Shocked

Hail All!

I was thinking of creating a new game thread for embarassing stuff, but to save forum load I think it would be best integrated with this topic. Smile

Anyhow...I hate to confess this, but I just posted an application for this year's X-Factor auditions! Shocked

Worry not however...What little sanity dwells within my skull remains as normal, and - Nay - I am not transforming into a "normal" person either. I seek not fame, nor fortune, nor becoming a member of some mass-manufactured boy band [Throws up]. I seek to bring a dark wave upon X-Factor, and if nothing else (I seriously doubt that I'll get past the pre-audition anyway! Laughing

) bring some discord and chaos to the programme - In a safe, honest and acceptable way of course! Cool

Farewell...And may Hell itself be raised upon Wembley Stadium that day! Twisted Evil

I rode my first ever Booster today

Death · Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:33 pm Post subject:

Congratulations, Bunnie! Did ye enjoy it? Smile

Anyway...It would seem that when I leave a negative impact upon a person, it stays with them for a very long time! Crying or Very sad

Today, I found someone on MySpace that I met at last years Wacken, but it seems that he remembers things that I erroneously said/did whilst under the influence of too much German bier! Sad

On the bright side though...At least it's given me the chance to send him a message of apology, which (Looking at the MySpace interface) he has read! Smile

Rogue · Strata Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 3865

I did enjoy it, I had the same sort of adrenaline rush like the first time I did Vertigo.

I'm in the process of trying to design my own website

Death · Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:53 pm Post subject:

Good to hear that ye enjoyed your Boost! Smile

<-- Can design and build websites in his sleep...But still hasn't gotten around to rebuilding DieselDragon - Something that he started doing about over six months ago! Shocked

Coaster Police · Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 1:35 am Post subject:

If you want a DieselDragon, go and have the most hellfire powered coaster!! At Camelot - MY LORDS!!! it's a diesel powered coaster, much thrash, much clag - was a great suprise when i first had it!

<- My dad's a Lord, so i'll inherit that one day ! (sad i know)

Death · Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:32 am Post subject:

I seem to recall that Big Stevie B told me about that coaster a while back...It's something that I'd love to have a "bash" on if I could ever get up to Camelot though! Twisted Evil

Anyhow...Despite being hetrosexual, I once spent a night out in London at the gay nightclub; Heaven! Shocked

(No...I was with a group of friends - All of whom were gay - And one of them was celebrating his 21st birthday! Cool

I have quite a varied taste in music but quite recently have been listening to an awful lot of Nightwish, Within Temptation, Avenged Sevenfold and Paramore.

Staying on the Music theme...
Only the Gods themselves know how or why it found it's way into my music library...But I just had to remove a DMX track from the database in Windows Media Player on my PC! Shocked

I used to be a camponologist (bell ringer) and have rung a number of peals which take about 3 to 3.5 hours (non stop).
I love watching most American sports especially NFL (American Football) and Ice Hockey, have seen baseball on a sunny afternoon in Indianapolis, and like Aussie rules football.
AND
Deep down I'm very shy, have little confidence and find it hard to hold conversations with people...better in groups where I can listen and then add in my two penneth rather than be centre of attention. (that's why it's taken me ages to get to know people in the club!)
