100 Things...
100(+) Things You May or May Not Know About Me!
- I was christened Daniel, but will answer to pretty much anything.
- I hate being called Danny, yet my entire family still insist on calling me it.
- My parents divorced when I was 6, and later remarried other people. I have a sister, a half brother, a half sister, as well as a multitude of step-whatevers.
- I could watch the old Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry cartoons all day. The new versions are pants.
- I hate TV, and will only watch a TV show if I have access to the complete series.
- I am trying to find the perfect diet - but till then, I will just eat and scoff what I like!
- Despite my "on-line" self being almost identical to my "in-person" self, I am completely and utterly useless in social situations. More awkward than a narcoleptic cow on roller-skates defines me.
- And I am the most shy male I have ever come across.
- I get on better with members of the opposite sex, and have never been a "blokey bloke".
- I believe in Ghosts, UFOs, Angels - but not Organised Religion.
- I don't "get" poetry, prose, art or - especially - modern sculptures. I worry sometimes that I am an uncouth heathen.
- I think some celebrities are treated too harshly by the media and should be left alone.
- I think some criminals are given an easy ride by the media and should be treated harsher.
- I want to learn a new hobby, but everything that interests me costs too much.
- Aside from a normal I.T Class and a further course, I am completely self-taught when it comes to computers and software.
- I have never smoked a cigarette in my life.
- I have smoked one cigar, on the night Jaysen was born.
- Aside from Kellie, I find it VERY hard to talk to anyone about anything personal. It takes a long time to get me to open up about anything.
- I can no longer use the public library in this county due to an overdue book I lost. When asked about it, I panicked and left the library.
- I could honestly watch any movie I enjoy over and over without getting bored.
- My first "Big Screen Movie" experience was the My Little Pony movie for my sisters birthday.
- I can name 90% of the songs on my computer from the first few seconds of the track.
- I suck at learning words to songs.
- I can honestly sit in front of a computer all day "browsing the internet" and only get up if I really need a pee.
- I believe there is a lot more in the world that we have yet to see - good or bad, I don't know.
- I enjoy reading "conspiracy theories" and take in what they say, but can never decide if the "Truth" or the "Conspiracy" is more believable.
- Wring this list is a damn sight harder than I thought it'd be!
- The only foods I truly detest with a passion are Fish Fingers and Pretzels. I can eat anything else, be it dead, alive, wiggly or other.
- I worry about upsetting my friends over almost anything else.
- Women - regardless of their shape or size - are beautiful to me. However, Body Odour on *anyone* makes me feel sick.
- I worry that smell of B.O is coming from me, regardless how recent my last shower.
- I love to sit and just watch/listen to random strangers go about their business. I could spend all day in a coffee shop just watching the world go by.
- I would love to do something amazing for charity - walk around England, walk across Europe, or something else to do with walking.
- I wouldn't even know how to start getting into shape, or planning the logistics of it all.
- I love to cook big, extravagant meals with lots of guests.
- I hate to eat my own big, extravagant meals and can always find a million problems with each dish.
- When Bethany died, I actually contemplated suicide for a short time.
- I think suicide is the biggest, cowardly method of escaping problems, and have hit people that have told me they want to do it.
- My belief in Heaven, Angels, Demons and Hell are very complicated and always have been.
- Despite everything I've been through, the only time I thought I would die was when an artery damaged during appendix surgery ruptured and showered my room with blood.
- I hate how I look and would change so much given the chance. "Low Self Image" doesn't even come close to describing it.
- I hate snakes more than any other creature.
- Sharks intrigue me and terrify me at the same time. I still get scared swimming in open water and convince myself I am going to get attacked at any second.
- Even in English waters.
- Even in Rivers and Lakes.
- I hated every moment of school.
- I wish I knew how to find my old Form Tutor to thank her for getting me through school.
- I've only see three of the top ten movies on the IMDb All Time Great Movies
- When washing up cups/mugs, they *must* be sorted by size (Biggest to Smallest), and all the handles have to point in the same direction.
- If the mugs are not arranged as above, I am certain they do not dry properly.
- I *hate* mathematics after having it forced onto me as a child. Even today, I tend to use my fingers to add up.
- I take pleasure in putting junk mail in the reply-envelopes of other junk mail.
- I have a very low self-image, which is why you very rarely catch me on the business-end of a camera - photographic or otherwise.
- I often try to find names from my past on the internet, but am too shy to contact those people I do find.
- I occasionally see people I went to school with in town, but never know what to say to them.
- I think most of the people from school hated me anyway.
- I often think about posting various things on my blog, but get all panicy over what people might think.
- I think some of this information would change a lot of peoples views about me.
- I suspect my family would have some choice words to say to me.
- No, I won't tell you anyway.
- I don't know why I constantly feel the need to change my blog template.
- I want to change it right now because it's not "just so"
- If I could live anywhere, it'd be in the middle of nowhere - a forest, preferably - with a log fire, lots of thick rugs and soft furnishings.
- I can draw the floor layouts of every house I've lived in - as well as the houses of my close relatives.
- My feet are stupidly large, and getting me footwear is a mission.
- I'm not telling if the old wives tale is true ;)
- I've been fishing once in my life and caught one fish.
- While trying to remove the hook from the fish, I accidentally pulled it's head off. I've never fished since.
- I love the smell of petrol as it's being pumped.
- I enjoy extremes of weather, especially thunder storms.
- I even enjoy watching TV Shows about "wildest weather" on Discovery and similar channels.
- I don't know my blood type, but believe it's something strange.
- People using excessive punctuation (Like, Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!) should have all forms of punctuation forcibly removed from their keyboard. It drives me mad.
- People that use animated icons on MSN that replace words in a sentence should have their computer confiscated - trying to read a ten-word sentence with six animated icons is a reason for murder.
- Toilet paper should hang from the top of the roll, not the bottom.
- On the various occasions I was bullied as a child and told my mother and step-father, they never believed me and assumed I was lying.
- I once burned one of my lips on a cuppa. My parents believed I was addicted to drugs and abusing solvents, and grilled me for two days about my addiction. I still think my mother believes I was a drug addict.
- I received so little pocket money, it would have taken me about six months of saving to afford one hit of anything!
- The sum total of my drug habit has been three special brownies, and one special chocolate cake, all within the last 18 months.
- The special cakes did nothing for me at all.
- I very rarely sing aloud, and if caught, I get embarrassed and shut up.
- While I am a pacifist by nature, on the two occasions I've been jumped, I beat the living crap out of my assailants.
- One of these fights was against two guys armed with baseball bats.
- I wasn't freaked out at all until I got home, and discovered one of the guys teeth caught on a thread at my wrist.
- The police didn't give a crap.
- I believe that people shouldn't take me very seriously - life's too short.
- If I am ribbing/tasking the piss out of/generally having a laugh with you, it means I like you.
- If I am quiet, polite and don't say a lot to you, it probably means I don't like you.
- I feel like I've known some of my friends for a lot longer than I actually have.
- I also believe I've known some of you in a previous incarnation.
- Judging by my bad luck in this life, I suspect I was probably a WW2 War Criminal.
- And you all worked for me.

- I don't think it makes me look younger.
- You will never see me in short-shorts, speedos, vest/muscle tops, or anything see-through.
- In fact, you will be very hard-pushed to see me topless, even if the temperature is cooking eggs on the pavement.
- I can't believe I figured one hundred things about me. It's only taken me a week to compile this list.
- I had to use other peoples "100 Things About Me" lists for inspiration...
- In December 2007, I became a guest author for About:Blank, but it didn't last :(
- I became a single dad in March 2008.
- In June 2008 it became apparent I was falling for a friend that I had been socialising with for several weeks...
- Luckily for me, the feelings were mutual and I didn't look a complete muppet!
- In September 2010, Kellie and Myself got engaged!
- She asked me...
- On June 14th 2013, Kellie and I finally got married. It was a great celebration and a brilliant day!
