Star tattoo on my elbow. 3 scars on my head, 2 from falling 1 from surgery. Scar on my forehead from a nail under a bed. Broke my leg broke my arm. Scar on my thumb from almost cutting it off.
 
Oh... that reminds me.

reading back on this thread, I noticed you were discussing your favourite FF game. FFVII is my favourite FF game. I also think it had one of the best soundtracks of any FF game.
 
I have a mark on the palm of my hand. Had it since I was 4. I was stupid; I put my hand on my parent's old iron just to see how hot it actually was.
 
I also have a scar as a result of an iron accident, it's not very noticeable though.

Overall I'm not very scarred. I am planning on getting a tattoo soon, when I can afford it.
 
I have a tattoo on my shoulder, got it in 2008 while in New York. I could post a picture if I find one. Nothing too original, it's a triskel inside a sun. Got it as a souvenir of my year long trip in the US :)

At the time I was obsessed with getting a second one, but the feeling wore off after a while because I couldn't think of any design I liked and I didn't have much money left anyway.

The tattoo I have I got when i was living in Japan. It was my last week in the country, and I got a tattoo to remind me of all the fun times I had living there.

It's a kanji tattoo, which I guess is cliche if you're a big douchey dude, but it's expert japanese caligraphy done by a Japanese caligraphy/tattoo artist, and it helps that I know what it means.

The kanji is 無限 (mugen), which means infinite.
 
I was in two bike accidents in college. First one left a pretty noticeable scar on my chin. The second one fucked up my face pretty badly at the time, but everything healed except for this one spot under my nose.

So for the last eight years, people have been kindly pointing out that I need to blow my nose, or that I "have something right there." The best is when they think it's coke. Like I'll be at a party, and I'll come out of the bathroom, and some dude will say "Bro, you've still got some right there." No, I was not snorting cocaine in the bathroom, but thanks for the tip.

Hil-fucking-arious.
 
I'm not sure my reaction to someone just having done coke would be "Hey, you missed some!"

It would probably be like "Hey there's something I need to do over there please stop staring at me it is weirding me out."
 
Have scar on my knee after a bike accident.

I have one scar after hitting the side of my head. I was about 6-7 years old. All of me was bloody. Never seen my mother that scared.

Have a scar on the back of my head after a kid thre a stone at me.

No tattoo.
 
I used to do the same thing when I was working with electronics as a kid. My parents used to buy me these kits like "make your own short-range FM mic" which I'd assemble over summer holidays. By the end of the holidays my hands were a mess of 1st and 2nd degree soldering-iron burns. Good times, though.

The best kit my parents ever bought me was for a transistor radio. No soldering required, which is probably a good thing.
 
How long have you had it? They will disappear, mine took about 5-6 years.

At least 4 years I think. It's hardly noticeable, so I'm guessing it'll disappear soon.



On another note: I just made some delicious chicken hearts and gizzards chilli with red wine. Yum.
I still have tons of hearts and gizzards left though, so I'll have to think about what I'll do with them tomorrow.
I also have a lot of leftover beer from Thursday's D&D game, so I'll have to think of a way to combine the two.
 
I am getting two large pizzas tonight thanks to this thread. One regular extra cheese, one with aioli and basil.
 
So I'm sorta having a hard time with sleep. Lately when I go to bed I can't get myself to sleep for 2-3 hours. Any tips to help me feel more relaxed? The whole clearing your mind thing or focusing on your breathing doesn't really help for me, it actually makes me more anxious DX I've tried drinking milk or eating a banana an hour before I sleep and that kinda helped for some nights...

Taking a shower right before before bed works pretty well. Also, work out earlier in the day. If all else fails, do what I do and take some benedryl and melatonin before bed. Being an insomniac sucks.

Cold shower. Tylenol PM will work but isn't really a long term solution. Melatonin, huperzine, and ZMA are other options that are much less effective in my experience. You could try listening to white or pink noise.

If you are in the habit of watching TV or using your computer before bed, try cutting those out for about an hour before sleeping. If you cut them out completely for a few days you should get back into a rhythm, but then how will you haha with RP GAF???

I always discourage people from counting sheep or focusing on a color or any of those old tricks. You want to empty your mind, not occupy it. Of course it'll work for some people, but for me it only causes more restlessness.
 
Nice job the Devo mosaic, Sentry.

Either white noise, or something that provides a constant sound like a fan. Or count backwards from 100 which has always helped me, if it doesn't work the first time just keep doing it, next thing you know you'll be asleep, usually gets me before the fourth time.

I've been having the same problem myself lately and this works for me.

First things first: nothing works 100% bar sleeping tablets.

But some things are better than others in terms of solutions.

1, Melatonin = sleep aid via drugs. You get sleep but at a cost - it never feels like a good night's sleep.
2. Sleep at the same time everyday.
3. Darkness - you need to let your body know its time for sleep.
4. Get rid of distractions in the bedroom- no good for gamers, but this works.
5. Stay up longer during the day. You need daylight.
6. Excess heat is bad.
7. *Don't try to fall asleep* the stress of trying to fall asleep keeps you awake.
8. Don't work nightshift. :(

Sweet Dreams...

Daily exercise really helped me out when I couldn't sleep. Just jogging on a treadmill for 30-45 minutes seem to do the trick.
 
I find just plain focusing on something like reading or trying to do homework lmao or playing a repetitive nature of a game helps me fall asleep.
 
Can't find Professor Beef's old avatar anywhere. :( Also, so many tie avs i'm not sure if they're ever gonna change or just keep those till the end of the month, lol.

PS. I'm compiling these from scratch and naming them cuz i'm hardcore, also, I know all of your names and avs now by heart, holy shit this is weird

Also, looking back through the first several pages and found a few gems, one of whichl

Say what?

Bahaha I love it.
 
I didn't have a problem with shan to be honest. In the context of shan's posts in that thread though, bishop's comment just made me laugh.

Although, It seems he/she was saying something racist which I never actually saw.

At the start he just made stupid threads, but those whiny comments made in that thread were just annoying. Like bish said, you can't threaten to go out with a bang, then you're just grasping for attention.

What was he apologising for?

What did he actually say to apologise about?
 
I've been playing Monster Hunter Tri all night.

Holy shit I'm addicted. I haven't played a game like this in years... years.

I, honestly, feel like a kid again.
 
Seriously talking about Shan in another thread. Call me when people stop.

If my avatar is any indication, I don't visit the black culture thread too often. :P

Don't know, don't care.

Yeah.... I saw her pic somewhere, should I put it in or not?

Seriously, when this is all done it'll be a great way to track banned gaffers. If I mark a red x on every person that's been in the collage, by the end of the year it'll look like a calendar.

[edit] Also, that traitor Jason Raize '75 - '04 (aka Meus) changed his av back. Luckily I made it for him so it's already someone on my computer. :lol
