What part of the UK do you live in?
I live in Bristol and I love it here, the music scene is second to none!
Dude, you live so close to me, it's not even funny. x_X;

I live in Bath. Not far away at all - less than 10 miles, I believe?

The music scene here is good, considering the size of the city.. We have one dedicated 'alternative' pub (the Hobgoblin) and then one 'alternative' themed club night (Discord).

Unfortunately, my college timetable says I'm not allowed to attend Discord anymore, unless for some reason I'm off college that week. Sucks, really.

My name is Jonny. I'm 16 and currently in my first year of (the UK version) of College.
I'm taking: Maths statistics, electronics, computing and philosophy. I was also interested in psychology and physics, since physics was the only thing I ever got an A* in.
I like the simple rules of these subjects and how they build together as opposed to something like English. But, I do like philosophy and psychology because I like to dip into people's minds.

I've lived in the same house in West Sussex in South East England, 40 miles from London, in the countryside, my entire life.

In my younger years I thought of being an inventor because my mind mostly works in the way that unless you tell me logically that something can or can't be done I may not believe it until I try it myself. But now I am basically being pigeon holed for Game Designing because of my obvious hobby. Have a few ideas, but apart from finding good ways to put things into practise, and the constant complete flukes I make in being able to string story together, i am terrible at breaking the mold of characterisation, as most of the main characters are better versions of me. I'd like to join the business just so I could hope to do things like fix certain series I believe have gone astray.

I'm about 6 foot tall. Skinny with a noticable belly when I sit down. Blue eyes, Long bedhead dark ginger hair. Wear glasses. Basic nerd.

I find that I have a rather large mass of negative traits that however bad I love about myself. Sadism, emotional masochism, misanthropy, narcissism, low self esteem.
I also have ADHD and Asperger's syndrome.
I am also the master at conflicting opinions and traits, thus the origin of my username; Paladin+Demon.

I also consider myself to be (for a lack of better phrase) hopeless romantic, being single all my life and after all the childhood mocking, really wanting someone who thinks of me as their favourite and would pick me above all others. This is pretty much my only goal in life.
In this way I see relationships in a more serious way than most other people and tend to over ananlyse things. And since I've always been single and the only girl I ever had reasonable feelings for, rejecting me, I have never been brought down to Earth with relationships and therefore have high standards of what is to be my 'perfect' person in ways of personality.


...too much?


EDIT: Oh yeah, and I like english dubbed anime and giant robots.

I'm 22, a former dropout from a private Baptist college and now attending a public university. I've been unemployed for 4 months, my car died right before I moved into my apartment, and my parents are too poor to give me any financial help, but I still enjoy life whenever I can. I'm an English major, former Practical Theology major. I was born in Brazil, raised in China, Jr. High in Costa Rica/Venezuela but I still consider myself American even though most of my life has been in other places. I love reading, and tend to be quite competitive at stuff I know I'm good at. As for the future, I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I try to stay open to whatever may come.

Well, I turn 20 on Saturday. I'm a college student studying medicine, but lately I have been having doubts and might change to something else. At the moment, I'm taking the semester off to work. Unfortunately, it's a terrible, demeaning, soul-destroying job with some of the worst customers this side of the Sahara, but the pay is decent enough for me to keep working there. Right now, there are few things I enjoy, talking to certain people, driving, video games, reading. Other than that, there is nothing else. My job does not give me any free time. I haven't even had a weekend off in almost 2 months. I'm not sure in what direction I should go in my life, and I question my purpose here almost every day. But, there are so many people I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks about this. I've been living here in Costa Rica for over a year, and I gotta say...I love it here. But, I'm still moving back home to finish studying.


I don't know what else to say.

I'm 18, live in t' Yorkshire and like many people in t' Yorkshire I'm not working, but unlike many people in t' Yorkshire I'm working my arse off looking for work and have an interview on Thursday...
Been with my boyfriend for 15 months now and we recently moved in together.
I know my alphabet in sign language and always leave a bit of tea in the bottom of the cup. Only met one other person who does that.
I do that too, maybe it's a northern thing?
Maybe. The other girl who I knew did was a Northerner too. I do it because I'm scared I;ll choke on the last little bit, didn't really know about her.
I do it because if any of the tea leaked through the bag or if any sugar was improperly stirred it will end up in the bottom

I used to drive through bath all the time on the way to my ex's, it's cool, a very chilled place during the day, lots of elderly couples.

So if you attend (or used to) alternative nights, what sort of music are you into?

I'm turning 15 in two weeks and am currently in Freshman year. I live in my basement and over the summer I mow lawns to finance my video game habit. I want to either be a politican, a video game developer, or a writer (preferably for video games). I love me a good RPG(Dragon age Origins, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Fallout, etc.), and play TF2 "religiously" (according to my friends). And I love to read Sci-fi.

There is man,many things I want to do. I want do write a book(doing)draw a comic(preparing)sing,(may start),act/ do vidios (peeps say I should be a actor/comedian) and I try to learn any language I come across; currently I am at 7(few words/basic understanding).

For now I am working as a personal assistant, where I mostly eat good food,play games and watch gibli films. I recommend it :).

I'm 21, currently working in telesales but I really want to work in the airport then for a tour operator. I love writing and (obviously) playing games. If it wasn't for my friends on the escapist I would have gone crazy by now.

I may be the dullest person on this website.

21-year-old male, I live in Florida (aka, America's wang, or that state that tries too hard to imitate California). I have no aspirations, am misanthropic, ruthless, cold, and I talk to/work with people when it benefits me. I do believe in common courtesy. In short: I'm what a DnD'er would call chaotic neutral.
Small world, I also live in Florida, and I'm what most DnDers would call "Lawful Good" not to be confused with Lawful Stupid as most people seem to play people like me as. We might follow the rules, but our knowledge of the rules allows us to find loopholes to work within them. >.>

Myers-Briggs, that's right. Sorry, I had just woken up when I was posting and couldn't remember the exact name. Jung only looked at the first and third aspects of that personality test if memory serves. Myers-Briggs added on to it later on. It's an interesting test. Did you take the short one with only like 50 questions or the full fledged one with about 300? I took the long one, so I'm curious to see if you used the shorter one if it turned out to be accurate.

Also, proving that opposites attract, my gf is my exact opposite on the spectrum. I'm ESTJ, and she's...wow I can't recall the lettes right now...Introverted, feeling, intuitive, and...perceiving, that's it. XD

I collect those glasses you get at 3D movies. I have ten pairs.
First movie I ever watched was The Dark Crystal.
I am a diehard comicbook fan.
If I could change my name it would be Clark.
I have a man-crush on Johnny Knoxville from Jackass.
I want to be an actor.
The Dark Crystal was one of the first movies I remember seeing. It's a good movie.

i'm 3 years into a B. Psych degree yet i see mental illness as pathetic, a form of weakness, and generally regard those suffering from a mental illness with... profound distaste... no idea why, and the belief seems impermeable based on arguments i've had, so i'm not that worried
There is part of me that agrees with that to a degree. I used to be a psych major, and some mental illnesses, I agree with you, but there are others that I don't. I wanted to go into psych research, but changed to sociology research when I found out I liked sociology better, much to the dismay of my psych professors.

I don't remember. I think, when I was younger (about 15/16?) Connexions got me to take the shortened version. A few years later I took the longer version, and got the same result - INFP. (Incidentally, that's the same result your girlfriend got. Don't ask me why they use 'N' for intuitive - I guess so the results look better?) The shorter test is still quite reliable, but perhaps doesn't provide as detailed a result as the extended version. I forget how the results were presented; whether or not they displayed percentages.

I understand the opposites attracting thing, though. I can't imagine enjoying a relationship with someone who is effectively my clone. o_O Diversity makes life more interesting.. When things are the same all the time, they tend to stagnate. Mind you, I'm only speaking from my personal experience, flawed as it may be.

I'm sixteen.

I have never beaten a game that is considered to be easy.

I'm a drop out.

I own a gaming Pc, as well a ps3.

I have never lost a chess match OR an arm wrestle.
I used to play chess frequently. I've played against a few masters when I was younger and played often. I won some and lost some, but overall they were impressed that I could keep up with them. It was fun and a good learning experience.
