Bumping for a new topic for this thread: It's been a while- tell us about yourselves (if you feel comfortable too!)- do you have any fun facts about yourself, or weird quirks that you do?

A fun fact about me: I'm a sucker for arcade games and have hit over 9000 "powertickets"* playing at Timezone arcades on my old card (which I had to retire because it isn't a tap card and that's what my local one is slowly moving to) (*sometimes with the help of my siblings or Rui )

Lightning round quirks 

- All good things end in 0 or 5. I will wait to end a call for an extra few seconds if it means they end up on those digits. Absolutely hate seeing numbers like $9.99 because please just round it up.

- Picked up bowling after a breakup as a coping mechanism, now it's my official hobby. I'm currently sitting on 145 as my personal best and hoping to get much better over the year.

- Thinks some Disney sequels are better than the original films. Most controversial opinion is The Lion King II being better than The Lion King.

Definitely a "quirk"
For The Lion King Franchise it really is:

TLK 1 > TLK3 > TLK2

For what other films does your statement apply to?

Some very random facts about me:

- I really like dark chocolate.

- Drawing is my hobby, and I really hope to inspire people through art.

- I have nice handwriting, and its one of the only thing that makes me popular at school.

- I haven't watched enough Disney movies.

- I like neverrrr watch TV.

- I have no idea how to apply makeup properly 

- I like quotes and inspirational people and things in general.

I too like dark chocolate, and I can't do makeup to save myself (so I just don't wear any haha)!

- getting Ls late

- liking dark chocolate
- childhood dream career marine biology
& of course,  loving accessible education

I can agree that in terms of animation quality and storyline, TKL I is a classic but TLK II has the best music and I think its message about racism and division rings true today. If it had a better budget and more fleshed out character details, it would've rocked but then again, it didn't need that for me to love it as much as I did.

Other sequels I prefer include Peter Pan II: Return to Neverland, Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, Lilo and Stitch 2: Stitch has a Glitch and recently Frozen II. Also really like the music for Mulan II but Mulan was definitely superior.

(This is probably going to spark a debate and I'm totally cool with that).

Here are a few random facts (or mini essays, whoops) about me:

- I'm an avid gamer, more specifically RPGs and open-world games. Yes, I'm the self-proclaimed queen of side quests. I will finish EVERY single side quest and level up my characters to its maximum level before finishing the main story. Fun fact: I completed every single contract in The Witcher 3 before completing the main story (plus the two DLCs), and with FFXV I completed ALL side quests before finishing the main story, including those stupid fishing quests (mind you, this is the Royal Edition so extra lore and side quests).

- I've broken my nail 5 times in my life. When I mean nail, I don't mean my nail polish chipping off or losing nail acrylics, I mean my actual nail being ripped from its nail bed.

- For being a bibliophile, I really hate YA fiction. I think they tend to promote toxic tropes, an example being the "I'm Not Like Other Girls"/Cool Girl trope (there are great video essays breaking this down on Youtube but my favourite would be by The Take). I think I've also reached that cynical state that no novel can ever have a completely original storyline so you're gonna have to wow me with the writing style. And the YA books I've read are almost like Wattpad/fanfiction material (no tea no shade but like *side eye*).

- For someone who's studying engineering, I prefer writing reports over the calculations because I find it to be the best way for me to get my ideas organised instead of having lines of equations scrawled all over a scrap sheet of paper.

Hehe I'm actually starting to enjoy being active on the forums, so Imma give this a whurl.

A fun fact about me:

I have a ridiculous obsession with languages.


It all started in Year 5, when I realised my native Filipino wasn't up to par with my six-year old, recently imported self. I sorta got obsessed tryna re-learn Filo, and then eventually, I realised that other languages exist, and I dabbled in them too If I could list them off the top of my head, I've played with Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, German, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Italian, Russian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic and Bulgarian.

So far, Spanish and Dutch are the ones I managed to push up to fluency- well, fluency as in I can talk about stuff like climate change in those languages haha.

But yeah, my dream one day, is to take as many languages as I can up to fluency. One of my Post-HSC resolutions was to go back into language learning, which had to go on the brakes ._. Rn I'm thinking of self-studying in Korean and Portuguese for 2020!

Sorry I'm a language nerd, but it's such a thrill, when you're talking to people in other languages. I sorta develop my own little persona in each one (no I don't have multiple personalities someone said that to me once lmaooo)

SAMEE FAM I'M A HARDCORE RPG COMPLETIONIST OMGG. My favourite series growing up was the Dragon Quest Series. I will literally do everything. Like finish every side quest, buy every possible equipment, max out every class/skill tree- I just graduated Year 12, and I'm only now remembering how much I missed doing this during junior years ;(

Omg nice to see a fellow gamer! Most of my gamer friends are into FPS/PVP but I'm to asocial to play with others lol

And yes, I do the same as well! Max out every single skills and equipment and spend a good 1 hour organising your inventory from hoarding items xD

Any games you're playing at the moment? I recently bought a PS4 (I had an Xbox One before buying a new console yikes) so I've finished Spiderman, God of War 4 and now playing Horizon Zero Dawn.
