Zel-kun’s Words

The illustrious Julie Scott of Perrero has ‘tagged’ me to do this thing where I list ten unusual things about myself then ‘tag’ ten people to do the same.  Viral in a way, I suppose, but far be it for me to pass up an opportunity to talk about myself.  So here goes.

1. I love being mentioned by other people.  Not sure what it is, maybe some ingrained inferiority complex.  Or maybe just part of my huge ego.

2. I have mild OCD.  I often find myself rearranging things so they’re perfectly parallel or symmetrical.  I also must complete anything I start to it’s fullest, I make an effort to do EVERYTHING in an RPG I play, even if I didn’t really want to do so.  Perfect example is bug collecting in Zelda: Twilight Princess.  Boring, innane, and takes for-friking-ever, and the reward is lame.  Still, I felt compelled to do it, because the game would not be complete without it.

3. I love Buffalo chicken and ranch dressing.  Can’t get enough of it, if it’s available at a restaraunt, I always order it.  (I would have mentioned the chili thing… but I think everyone here knows that.

4. Despite being friends with, and being related to, several drug users and drug dealers (I know I grew up in the suburbs, but they exist there too), I have never once done any sort of drug (unless you’re one of those people that counts alcohol.  And even then, I’ve never been drunk, only buzzed).

5. I was in two automobile accidents, that while being two years apart, were with the SAME driver.

6. The first thing I ever wrote was a novelization of the game ‘Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past.’  It basically followed the game to the letter, but with more dialogue.  The world is better off that the computer I wrote it on (old DOS-based thing) crashed.

7. I love self-describing words.  Words that, in themselves, describe the word.  Examples: Awkward, grandiloquent, and archaic.  Bonus points if you can name others.

8. I have an unnatural hatred of The Flash.  If I get into why, I’ll just make myself angry.

9. I read every single quest in World of Warcraft, I find some of the plots to be the best part of the game.  I often ask members of my team, “Why are we killing these guys?”  The answer, “Because the quest says to.”

10. I once got buzzed on Serbian moonshine during a Sci-Fi pen and paper RPG on New Year’s Eve.  After which I had a lengthy argument with the ship’s computer that he was in love with some little girl on the ship.  The funniest thing was the computer was supposed to speak with a russian accent, and the GM kept it up through the whole argument, much to the amusement of the other players.

Okay… ten people to tag.  I don’t even KNOW ten people.

David N. Scott - Julie did it, now it’s your turn.

Zai

Kyle - Though I doubt he reads this site.

Jeff - Same as Kyle

Dad - It’d be cool, he DOES have a MySpace page after all.

Sabre - Yeah, you won’t do it, but now you’re doubly challenged.

Well, that’s six, really can’t think of any more.

Zel-kun out.
