I just shyed away from all social circles from the ages of 12 and 16, sitting in my bedroom shooting out short stories on my grandpa's old typewriter and running downstairs to show my mum and dad when I finished yet another tale of lower dimentional beings vomiting spacetime or vampire Nazis. They were worried, but my English teachers kept telling them at Parents Nights to encourage me, and they did. I love my parents, they're the coolest people I've ever met. If I had a son like me I'd be throwing him outside and locking the bloody door. I just couldn;t wait to get home from school to get back to deciding the fates of the people on my pages.
That's pretty much what my parents did. We weren't allowed to watch much TV at all, and I didn't really even want to.
Or did you mean you'd throw yourself out because you were so odd? 
And as for you being a smartarse, well..... I can't help you there. 
I needed whatever sun we got in Scotland. Vitamin D is fought over in the streets here. My face reflected more light than the moon. | |

The vast majority of my photoshops are for jokes and stuff. This is becuase I find visual jokes as funny as auditory ones. I also am extremely hit-or-miss in humor, and for some reason, I'm more comfortable being hit-or-miss visually. 
I havent' painted anything in well over a year, and I haven't finished that painting. Well, I think you're a bit of a genius. And you're the first orger I've said that to. I know you know know yourself and sometimes compliments can cut rather than caress becaus eof insecurity and conceit, but seriously, I laugh my arse of at all your shit. | |

Reading, I constantly had my nose in a book.
Does 15 count as being a kid? In that case...  | |

For me, it was:
Bike riding...used to get up at 5:00 am and be out the door by 5:30, riding in the middle of empty suburban streets, feeling completely alone and free.. Hiking in the woods...well, the wooded area near my home...I'd spend hours out there just exploring... Reading...would lock myself away in my room and read book after book...got hooked on Ray Bradbury that way... And Warner Bros. cartoons...I don't just mean watching them, but studying them almost...I watched the timing and delivery of Bugs Bunny's lines, and tried to mimic them...not necessarily word for word, but mimic the delivery style...I actually developed my sense of humor by studying Bugs Bunny and Hawkeye Pierce from M.A.S.H. for hours and hours...couldn't get enough of either when I was a kid. | |

So have you gotten past your moon-face stage yet then? I got obsessed by Anne Rice pretty young and some residue has stuck around in my adult head. I thought I was Lestat with I was 16. Having porcelain skin never bothered him. | |

I was quite an active and romantic child. I loved to read when I was young. Much more avidly then now which I'm trying to revive. I was also very keen on sports and went to football, judo and gymnastics weekly. Some days I was playing football up to 4 or 5 nights a week. | |

Not that I don't like you now or anything. I fell deeply for Lestat. The eighth wonder of this world is that I'm not a homosexual. | |

I heard a story that as soon as my parents divorced when I was 3, I started toting around the cassettes and portable radio. | |

Reading, music, and my animals. I've always danced but dance became more of an escape for me as I've become an adult. | |

Finess said: mine wasnt cartoons or anything else...
it was Music, as a child i would listen to music constantly and it would take me places, and make me happy regardless of the harsh relaity of my surroundings as a small child, it helped me go away from everything and take me to a place that i created in my own mind and that place becomes so real to you, that you can actually see it and touch it. reading books | |
