WE've all seen the tests-

we've all seen these "what (blank) are you tests" but now it's time to just come right out and say it-

I, am analytical, logical, and possessing of a borderline genious IQ- however, I rarely apply myself and therefore, many would never guess at my mental powers. I view the world with a seemingly cold eye, but I'm not a monster...it just seems that way at first.
I respect EVERYONE until they give me a reason not to respect them. just because I respect you doesn't mean I like you, and just because I like you doesn't mean I respect you.
I love life, but I'm not afraid of death. My former best friend of 16 years has made a (failed) attempt on my life. That set me back socially quite a bit, and to this day I don't trust very many people nearly as much as I should.
When I'm not making music, I brood, depress, pessimize, and generally behave very "boo-hooy." but when I'm on stage, doing what I love, I am a completely different person.
My family is important to me, I love them, but damnit, I wish they'd leave me alone sometimes...
I have enough money to survive. I could use more, I wouldn't say no to more, but I realize I am fortunate simply to eat.
I believe in God, Satan, the Yeti, Sasquatch, the Lock Ness Monster, and I think it would be a very boring world without conflicting views- so if you Don't believe in any of the above, I respect your choice.
I don't hate gay people- as long as they realize that I'm not gay, I will never be gay, and don't get OVERLY "gay pride" on me. I've hugged a gay man, and didn't feel uncomfortable doing it because he knew it wasn't anything more than a gesture of acceptance and freindship.
I've been in love, I've been confused by love, I've hated, I've been hated, and I've been loved, but I've never been kissed.
I'm a virgin. I'll admit it to you, and if I'm comfortable admitting it to all of you, so don't bother trying to make fun of me for it. I simply don't care.
You can talk shit about me all you want- I don't care. I've never hit a man in anger. I've never thrown the first punch.
I've had a hard life. there are people out there that have had a harder life than I, and I'm not the only person that's had a hard life.
I wasn't suppose (Doctors odds- 80%) to survive being born. If, by some miracle I lived past 12 minutes, I was supposed (Doctors odds- again, 80%) to be dead in 12 months. If I again defied the odds, I was supposed (doctors odds: 100% chance) to be mentally and physically retarded. Again, and again- I've defied odds, and on the other hand, again and again, the odds have gotten me. It's life. I can accept that.

Ladies and Gentleman- me.

Interesting post...

A lot of what you typed sounds like me... wierd

I can relate to some of that. But only some. Sounds like quite a path fate has chosen for you (fate, by the way, is something that I believe in). Keep on keeping on :sun:

I personally find it entirely heroic that he's a virgin. That is very honorable, and he has my respect for it. Virginity is nothing to be at all ashamed of.





As for you, I'd say that you're ashamed in your own sexual life, so kindly don't piss in other people's Wheaties.

It's ok. let dafoo have some fun. He's right, I don't care. If making fun of me can brighten his day, then by all means, let him. anyone else out there like to take a shot?:)

Dustin is about to be banned! HAHAHA! You're banned. Let us all make fun of him, for he is banned. He doesn't care, he said he didn't, so lets make fun of him. BANNED!!!!

Well....that was alot different then the stuff posted on O.T.

I always beleive the sign of a good person is being able to show there strengths and weakness and not worry about doing it.

Its always harder for a male to "open up" and show his feelings as most people think its a sign of weakness...but congrads to you dude for having the guts to do it. :cool: ...you have the PMans respect

Whoa man...deep stuff. Congrats on being comfortable enough within yourself to share that with people. Just one small request - a little more warning about what's coming. It sounds like you've got a pretty balanced head on your shoulders and you know what to expect and what you want out of life - even striking a good balance between the two. The last thing that intrigued me was - why did your friend 'have a go'??

Very deep- maybe shifted to Philophisizing???- This has clearly required a lot of thought and philosophy after all :)

hello - the full Dustin

You have my respect also.

I disagree.Dustin has chosen this forum,let it stay here.For the record,I admire your frankness,Dustin.It's not always easy to be completely open about yourself,particulary when your chosen path flies in the face of traditional peer pressure.

There's an alarming trend in contemporary teen peer pressure towards more violence,less tolerance and zero respect.Pardon me if I sound like a crusty old fart from the veterans' home,but the old values work,and it's only the smart guys who resist the urge of the dumb herd to break every protocol simply because it exists.
RESPECT IS :cool:
ABSTINENCE IS:cool:
TOLERANCE IS :cool:

therefore DUSTIN is :cool: :cool: :cool:

Dustin is a virgin! HAHAHA! You're a virgin. Let us all make fun of him, for he is a virgin. He doesn't care, he said he didn't, so lets make fun of him. VIRGIN!!!!

If you’re not, I'm surprised...

I know firsthand how that is, man. Now i know I'm not the only one. It sucks.

Dafoo, I'll ask you nicely. Please stop taking cheap shots at the myself and the people who choose to reply to me. There are plenty of threads here. I'm sure you can find one you like. So please stop.

Very nice original post there. :)

Mind if I play along?

Go ahead Twist- I posted this with the Hope that other people would shed the inherent anonymity of the internet.

*cracks knuckles* Here we go! :)

I don't fit the molds. A little bit of me fits here a little bit fits there. Allow me to elaborate.

I'm studying to be an engineer. A mechanical one to be exact. I want to build Lancer Evolutions and other Japanese super cars. I'm very good in mathematics and physics.

However, I am an artist. I draw all the time. I am incredible visually oriented. (this will freak some of you out, but...) I have visions. Yup. Not of earthshattering things and not hallucinations. I see things. I draw them. For example, I see landscapes, or people laughing or hands holding. They are simply the things that wind up in my sketch pad. I have an overactive imagination. Practically everything summons for an incredibly elaborate mental image in my head. You say "long grass" and I see a field at night with farm houses around, the wooden fences, the old knotted tree with great limbs for climbing, all the constellations, and so forth. It's gotten to the point where I process emotions visually. When I feel sad, I play through sad images in my mind often having them happen to me. Same goes for happy things or any other kind of emotion.

I am a Christian. I love God and Jesus. This is the first way I define myself. (but i list it here third because I wanted to emphasize contrast first and nothing about being Christian conflicts with something else within me) Because of this love for God and humanity, I am a pacifist. A few of you may have read my views on this subject that I posted in Philosophizing a few months back.

C.S. Lewis said that there are 4 loves: Affection, Friendship, Erotic (simple love between a man and woman), and Love of God. I have felt all but erotic love. I have never had a girlfriend (and in my book) I am thusly a virgin. (That should really, read: b/c I don't have a wife, I'm a virgin).

I trust until somebody gives me reason not to trust (or at the very least I try to go by that).

I have hated, but I made a conscious effort and removed it. I don't think I've ever been hated, but I have indeed been disliked.

I am sarcastic. Yup.

I love to laugh and even more I like to make others laugh. To quote The Bare Naked Ladies (the band), I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral. But almost at the drop of a hat I can be deathly serious. I prefer the goofy, laughing phase much more.

I read comic books, but I also read Fyodor Dostoyevsky, C.S. Lewis and Bernard Shaw (classics and theology).

I like just about every kind of music but rap and country. If somebody puts on rap, that's fine. If somebody puts on country, I'll leave.

In general likes: Green Tea, Chocolate, Ping-Pong Coca-Cola, Sprite, Cheese, Japanese Sports cars, German Sports cars, video games, Car models, Cartoons, etc...

One thing I don't really like is being in the lime light. I'd rather some one acknowledge what I did over me doing it. I enjoy showing people my sketchbook, but I am quick to criticize the little faults and even quicker to say it's not good at all.

Whoa...that was deep, mate. I will have a go at it when I have some more time. Can we PLEASE see some of your sketches? Scan 'em in and post 'em up!

Damn!!!! Another deep interesting post- I think this is the only thread I have read top to bottom :eek:

Yeah sure. I'm working on a website right now for my art, but for now you'll have to be content with this. It's titled "Haunted" I don't know if she is haunted or she is haunting someone. But I felt I should give it a title, even though I very rarely give titles.

Also, many, many of my drawings are sad. The title for my old website was: Sorrow is my only Art. I didn't mean anything by it at the time (it simply sounded cool), but it's amazing how true it is.

Also, my "visions" often take on a life of their own. I picture them one way, but they will only come out another. I picture things one way and sometimes, they won't have it and will want to be something different. Sometimes different clothes, different hair, different emotions, different positions.

My website should be up in a week or two. I'll be sure create a thread and get all you wonderful people to check it out. In the mean time, if you guys clamor for more (doubtful), I'll put a few more up. :)

Dustin has inspired me to share bit more about myself. I am still working on how to present everything :)

For right now, I am just lettting you all know that DaFoo's comments are going to be deleted. I think it is safe to say that no one reading this thread finds his mockery amusing, and they are a discredit to this otherwise very serious and revealing thread.

Here's another one for ya to erase.

...and JD, why is this thread so sacred to you? You act like it's a Gnostic scroll. You ruin it by adding your post showing off that you erased my comments! You'll erase this, and then leave another one because you think being a mod on the internet is cool. Well JD, I'm glad I ruined your good time while you were taking in the deepness of this post.

:rolleyes: Oh please. The guy is very open about who he is and why he has become who he is, and you make fun of him for it? I mean sure, being a mod on the internet is cool, but you're waaayyy cooler for making fun of a guy for confessing that he is a virgin when he didn't have to. Real classy.

And for the record, I made it clear who deleted your posts and why, because otherwise people get to thinking of mods kind of like evil dictators. This way, our actions are not anonymous and perceived as negatively. But I'll tell you what.. it was malicious of me to single you out. I apologize for that.

Now, can we stop this?

Yeah, we can stop. I sent you a PM to explain.
