I sit at the computer and wait
But seriously, I usually browse VR or, if I'm REALLY bored, I do some sit ups and push ups to help counter the detrimental effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Quote:
As for my favorite book... that's an even harder question! Reading is boring. It's been so long since I've actually read a book all the way through.

Movies are tough for me. I've hated going to movie theaters ever since I was just a little kid. It's dark and the sounds from the movie are so loud you can feel your internal organs vibrate. I prefer my internal organs to not be vibrating unless they are supposed to. My favorite episode of Spongebob Squarepants would have to be the one where squidward falls off the cliff on his bike and then explodes in a nuclear mushroom. My dad and I laughed SO hard when that happened! It's one of my fondest memories. I also like pretty much any episode with "MY LEG!!!", or the DEAEAUGEAEAU fish. Quote:

My dad's homemade pizza is my favorite food. I'm pretty territorial about it, actually. I get angry whenever someone takes the middle pieces (it's rectangular) and tend to eat about half the pizza, if not more. He usually has to make two pizzas to keep me from going crazy My favorite drink is water. As you can see from my eating habits, I can't afford to drink soft drinks or other sugary beverages. Also, carbonated beverages give me the hiccups unless I use a straw to blow bubbles and get the air out of it. |

I've been with pokemon since the beginning. I remember the exact moment my mom gave me pokemon red. I was in the kitchen, and it was right after school. I was a bit confused at first, because it wasn't my birthday and it was no special occasion. I caught a pidgey that night, and I was so proud of myself. Even today, I'm still pleased by the simple things in life
My favorite generation, however, has to be generation 2. I have VERY vivid memories of it, and get a distinct sensation when thinking about it. My friend got it before me, and he and I talked on the phone for several hours while he played Gold one night (since I didn't have Gold yet). His cyndaquil evolved into quilava while I was on the phone, and I thought flame wheel was the coolest thing ever. His togepi also hatched while I was on the phone with him. I was so excited for the new pokemon, ESPECIALLY espeon. I always loved eevee and its forms, but I simply adored espeon. Generation 2 was the most exciting for me. Because of all the new evolutionary forms, and the fact that we were suddenly getting a bunch of new pokemon that we didn't know about before. No generation has quite matched up to it for me. |

Cyndaquil. No contest. Generations two and four are the only ones with mammalian starters, and I'm not a fan of monkeys. Cyndaquil is a cute, chubby little thing that you'd have to be crazy not to hug. After Cyndaquil is Oshawott (which is not my favorite starter, so the excluding 5th generation does not apply ). I go for the cute ones. Or, In the case of the final evolved form, the least ugly.

My favorite color is red-orange. It looks like it would taste good if it had a flavor. Kind of a sweet-and-sour thing going on, you know what I mean? My difficulty with math probably has to do with an underdeveloped or malfunctioning intraparietal sulcus (located on the top-back part of the brain). In other words, it makes my brain sad. I've always struggled with math, and I have a hard time doing simple addition and subtraction in my head. In fact, I'm SO bad at math, I had to change my career path in college to something that doesn't require math. Wouldn't you know it, web game programming doesn't require math! |

I made this post ages ago but I never asked a stupid question.
Allow me to fix that. If the sky was the color of blood on the fourth moon of the second harvest, and the rivers were made of cream cheese while Cheetas pranced around the fields of chocolate like rabbits, would you still have a pet hamster in your pocket? |

You mean do I like the pokemon Aipom? No, I don't. I've never been a fan of monkeys. My username has nothing to do with Aipom. It's mere coincidence that it sounds like it.

Am I really though, or have I merely infiltrated your mind and forced you to unknowingly make use of the Freudian defense mechanism called projection in which the individual unconsciously associates the negative or unwanted trait or feeling with another individual and perceiving it as though they are the one who is suffering from said trait?

Is sentence fragment. I am particularly fond of physics. It explains how the universe works the way it does... or, at least, it attempts to. A lot of stuff we think we know about the universe is actually unprovable... no one has actually sat next to an O-class hyper-giant star and counted how long it took to go from its core initiating nuclear fusion to when it goes supernova. That's all just a guess based on assumptions that are assumed to be reasonable. Do we really know how much of the solar atmosphere is thrown off during a coronal mass ejection? No, but we can make some pretty good guesses. Physics attempts to explain all that, and that's why I like it. I'm particularly interested in the really big and the really small, as you can probably tell by now. Relativity and quantum mechanics. That sort of thing. The two systems are so different, yet they both accurately explain the world we live in (as far as we can tell). Somewhere out there, there's a formula that brings the two together to explain how it all works, but I certainly won't find it due to my inability to math. Only God really knows, and it doesn't look like He intends to tell us outright. We're gonna have to figure it out ourselves. |

2. That's going back quite a way.

If I became a moderator, most people would probably dislike me quite a bit due to my incredibly high standards. My skills aren't in moderation, though. You gotta be a people person to do that. I'm much more qualified for an administrative position. After all, knowledge of that sort of thing goes along with a degree in Computer Information Systems. |

Well, it depends on what type of pony you are talking about.
Well, I prefer to keep my hair in a ponytail that's closer to the base of my neck. It looks more masculine. However, my hair isn't quite long enough to get all of it into a ponytail that far down, so sometimes I have to put it up a little higher. In the more likely event you are talking about My Little Pony, there are only two I know by name (due to the outspoken fanbase on this site): Rainbow Dash and Derpy. Derpy obviously gets my vote because the eyes look funny. In response to Phantom, who posted as I was posting this: I have a quilava with glasses because my pokemon of choice is a quilava. Fire and earth have always been elements I've associated myself with more than water or air, so what better than a volcano pokemon to represent me? As for the glasses, I wear glasses. It's that simple. You might also notice the extra fire extending down from behind the ears. That's a reference to my long hair. The eyes are blue more to represent that I don't really "fit in" really well into social groups. I've always been an oddball. I don't really have blue eyes. The blue jacket is similar to one I got while visiting Montana a little over ten years ago. I was really overweight then, so it still fits me Last edited by A'bom; August 16, 2011 at 09:49:30 AM. |

As for what I did to lose the weight: I did nothing. No. Seriously. I did nothing. The family went away on a vacation and I was too preoccupied trying to catch a shiny Shinx to realize I need to feed myself more than once a day. I lost all the weight in one summer. People who hadn't seen me during that time looked like this when they saw me: It was so awesome. That's about the same time I decided to grow my hair out, too. It was like I graduated from highschool and underwent a transformation. Hopefully I don't transform back! |

If that isn't enough to make the conspiracy theorists rethink their arguments, consider the ultra-high-powered HAARP on steroids that blasts our ionosphere constantly: the Sun. Our sun has blasted earth with solar storms more powerful than we can even imagine, and we're still here today. All that happens during one of these storms is a magnificent display of Auroras near the mid and lower latitudes. And mass failure in communications technologies. HAARP, in my mind, is no threat.

2. Explode, no. Quilavas have been known to erupt from time to time, though. You should probably be wary of that! It varies, but you can't go wrong with tacos and burritos. Anything can go in those: Spaghetti, peanut butter and jelly, meat and cheese, macaroni, fruit and cream cheese, pizza toppings... you get the idea. The most versatile of all foods! Quote:

At the time, I was taking a Web Design class, learning HTML and CSS. I wanted to mess around with the CSS more, but wasn't sure how until I figured out I could look at the source code for websites by right-clicking and selecting the option to do so. Most of the resulting text document was such that I had no idea what it meant (I do, of course, understand all of it now), but I did understand the part of the code having to do with CSS. Basically, I decided to mess around with VR's CSS in an effort to learn more about the language.

Nope.
I start by drawing a really cruddy drawing, then I draw it again, but so that it looks less cruddy, then I draw it again, until it looks less cruddy, then I draw it again until it looks less cruddy, then eventually it turns into what you see when I upload pictures. Quote:
If I could make a mod. Buh huh huh... Ask Shade, I think mods are evil and I refuse to use them, even if I think the concept of them is fantastic (such as better weapon enchanting, the nether expansion mod, aether mod, etc). BUT, if I could make one, it would be a mod to add new biomes. I was very excited to see the Jungle biome added to 1.2, and I got to thinking about other biomes that would be a nice addition. So far, I've considered Riparian zones and glaciers, though such things would probably fall more into the "structures" portion of the code like abandoned mineshafts and NPC villages. I have noticed from time to time that there will be odd areas of exposed rock while exploring the world. I typically call areas like that "wasteland". So I thought that might be a cool one to add, as well. Karsts would also be cool, though more of a structure than a biome. Other content would be stuff like coral reefs, ocean trenches that go to bedrock, shipwrecks that would contain treasure and stuff... that sort of thing. Now, for the NETHER... I would love to see soulsand beaches near lava, and nether-specific vegetation, including fireproof trees. One of my more developed ideas is the glowstone cliff biome, which is exactly what it sounds like. Then the obsidian cavern, which would be like an overhang of obsidian with HUGE glowstone stalactites hanging down from it en mass, with smaller stalagmites on the floor. Then there would also be nether-specific ores, new mobs, and I could go on for a very long time with all my ideas, but I'm afraid this post has already reached tl;dr length! D: |

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that stores itself in your body fat (and liver). Its main function is to help blood clot (more specifically, coagulate). So, an example of how it would benefit you:
Let's say you've got a problem with nose bleeds. The kind that you have to literally shove a tissue up your nose to stop it, but then it just pools in your sinuses and goes down your throat (Ick!). Vitamin K will put a stop to that. In my personal experience, cuts that would bleed for five minutes now stop in about thirty seconds. Now, it's not going to help a whole lot if, say, your arm gets hacked off, but for minor injuries, you will notice a difference within a few days of eating a spinach salad. |

I like spring because of the rain and thunderstorms. I'm not particularly fond of the nasty thunderstorms that bring with them hail and tornadoes, but standard thunderstorms are very calming for me. There's also the fact that everything is turning green.

Special Fire-type Power 500 Accuracy -- PP 1 Poisons user, burns up its held item, remaining attacks' PP are reduced to 1, and attack and special attack drop to -6 regardless of prior stat boosts. The only means of avoiding is Shadow Force. Requires one turn to charge. So power wise, it's a fire-type de-nerfed explosion. Overpowered? Probably. Do I care? Not really. As for the animation... On the first turn, the user glows white and the sound effect for earthquake is played. On the second turn, background takes on a dull red hue and displays a radiation hazard sign while a warning siren sounds. The sign fades away, but the siren continues as the user glows again. Once the glowing reaches its peak, a shockwave shoots out and the camera angle shifts upward to look at the nuclear mushroom from below. Then the siren and the graphics fade out. |

Unfortunately, the funniest things are always "You had to be there" things.
Here's the first thing that came to mind. My siblings and I found a picture my sister had drawn many, many years ago. The people in the picture looked like they had noses for left ears and right ears on their necks. I borrowed a quote from the Fairly Odd Parents saying, "That thing on your neck. Is that your ear?" Then my brother made a noise like he was throwing up and slapped his hand on the paper and said, "Oh, it looks better now!" Neither is that creative or pleasing in my eyes. If quilava had the blue fire like that bloated piece of pork Emboar, then quilava would win. If I had to pick one or the other, I'd go with glaceon because eeveelution. |

Why do I feel like I've been asked this before? Y'know, I decided to do a little more looking into the definition of explosion. Turns out that any time there is a localized pressure change there is an explosion. There are, however, two different categories of explosions, being deflagrations and detonations. The title of my question thread is implying the latter. However, many of my attacks are indeed capable of releasing supersonic shock waves, making them detonations. Either way, I have in fact exploded.

It's hard to get more powerful when you're already the most powerful and versatile quilava on the internet. There's also the distinct lack of RP battlers that battle the way I do, but if there is someone out there who thinks they can deal with a volcano, bring it on >:3

As for sunglasses, those are a bit more manageable. I wear regular glasses for my near-sightedness. It's hard to describe, but you just learn to "balance" them on your nose.

Oh wow, it's so hard to choose. For my favorite mob, Iron Golems. How can you not love a gentle giant that hands out flowers to baby squidwards? It's a guardian for the innocent, and that's just awesome.
My favorite item... Chests. They hold things. ALL THE THINGS. They have treasure. They have loot. You never know what's in them until you open them. Then again, you have a moment kind of like this one when you open the chest and there's nothing but string and gunpowder in it. Last edited by A'bom; March 26, 2012 at 10:27:28 AM. |

Probably a fox.
I was bullied throughout elementary school because I was fat, slow, and naive. If people were talking about something and I asked what it was, they said I was "too young", even if I was older than them (I was the third youngest in the class). I was almost always last to finish running the mile in physical education class, and typically just picked on in general. |
