Oh oh oh. Looking at the other thread where Roark is spouting off about William Penn and all that, it reminded me of this bit of family history.
If you look back at the records of Philadelphia, the first sheriff, appointed by William Penn, was named John Test. I'm like, his great-great-great-great-great-great grandson, or some such. Sadly, my full name is (and you will NEVER see me repeat this anywhere else!) Kyle John Test.
I sign EVERYTHING Kyle JT. Which is why some of my friends refer to me as JT (because it's a better boy-bandish name than Kyle, for some reason). Lame.
EDIT: And my last name belongs to someone with a big head, apparantly. S'what it means, from it's english origins. And my brother's like, 5' even with this big arse watermelon noggin'. Hahaha. So yea. It fits some people in my family.

Something very few (in fact, I don't think I've told any one of my 'real life' friends. They all seem to think me this semi-intelligent emotionally wise person. When it comes to giving others advice, sure, but I suck at handling my own life) people know: I have a huge fear of rejection.

Very very few people know that I can configure/troubleshoot/network computers. I've been taking a vocational computer systems class for a bit over a year. I think I'm pretty good at it. Guys for some reason think it's amazing I can fix a computer. I remember the first day of school one of them made a remark about how I was better than Dell.
Another thing is I was the 2nd person to catch a computer on fire in my teacher's class.. 1st person to catch it on fire in 3 places. It wasn't my fault though.. my partner didn't document the wiring properly so I had everything in the wrong place. It scared the ever loving out of me.. because all the sudden we turn it on and POOF! It's in flames..

...I didn't even know such a thing was possible .
Personally, I caused the network to crash on my computer (don't ask me how I did it, I have no idea), accidently created a program to reboot the computer and developped anger issues, all of these at programming classes in college . Poor crappy college computers, I probably caused a few to take their retirement earlier than planned
Right now, I gave up on learning anything computer-related, if my computer freezes or something, I try yelling insults and/or kicking/punching it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

Very possible . Sucking up the fumes isn't too healthy for you either, apparently. It certainly didn't do me much good when our computer decided to moonlight as a smoke machine.

The worst that happened to me was my computer refusing to turn on. No matter how many times I'd press the damn 'Power' button, the screen would stay black and empty (and yes, the screen was on too). Needless to say, much kicking and insulting ensued

Yeah that's happened to me a few times. It was caused from anything ranging between my computer overheating, the harddrive being deaded or the RAM being put in incorrectly (or something like that). Fiddling with it fixed it all in the end. Everyone needs to have a good fiddle.

No, you're just wierd. Dolphins are AWESOME. They LOVE to play. But I'm the freak who swims with wild dolphins because they're a lotta fun.

YES!!
Dolphins and Orca's are both awsome, I've swum... swam... something like that with both before, and they are as friendly a critter as I've ever met.... Orca's can be a lil scary because of how big they are, but their still cuddly *Grins*

Hey, dolphin lovers.
There's a clhelp file in The Dark Carnival that you really ought to read.

Warning, just.. no. It could damage you fairly horribly.
Edit: Won't post it. If someone can tell me where I can host it, perhaps, a log generator..

I extremely hate it when people stand over me and tell me how to do whatever it is I am doing and then proceed to tell me how easy what I'm doing is and how to do it.
I dislike being touched in real life.. so yeah.. if we ever have a Lusternia meet and one of you touches me that I don't know.. beware of the slap reflex. This means.. no running up to tickle me.
I've always wanted to go out on a date to the county fair. Still haven't done it yet.

The only reason I began the path to becoming a doctor was pure spite at no one I know thinking I would be a good one.
And I have a nearly unnoticable birth mark that covers the entire left side of my face.
Also I fight crime on my off time at work.
Only two of those are completely true... can you guess which one?

Hmm. Some more stuff...
I've only told one person that I play games like Lusternia, when I did tell them I abbreviated the whole thing with a lot of letters, like OL TB RPE MMORPG (That's online text-based role playing encouraged massively multiplayer online role playing game, in case you didn't know, and yes I know it's redundant, it was meant just to confuse them when I said it fast) yet they still understood me, as it seems they used to play them too.
Also, March of the Penguins is an excellent movie. Although sad, it was also motivating and overall powerful. The intended purpose was well met, even if you don't like that purpose.
Also, dolphins are not scary, they are fun.
Hmm... what else...
Pokemon related: I collected the pokemon cards a long time ago. I had a nearly complete set, including a HOLOGRAPHIC CHARIZARD which I got in a RANDOM BOOSTER PACK (can you believe it!), but then when I got bored, and was going to sell them (and they were worth a lot back then, the official thing said my HOLOGRAPHIC CHARIZARD was worth a whopping $40!) to random people for lots of money, except that my brother was also collecting them, and he wanted them all. So, if you can believe the evilness of this, my mother MADE ME SELL THEM to my brother, but since he had little money, I HAD TO SELL THE ENTIRE COLLECTION FOR A MEASLY TWENTY DOLLARS!!!!
I'm still a little angry about that.
One other thing: I've been counseled several times by psychiatrists who seem to think that I'm shy, but the truth, which I promptly tell them, is that most people just bore me. Yet the professionals always think I'm lying! Weird, eh?
