Profile for venort:
I've moved away from the family business of crocheting doilies for worms (cookie for first b3tan to guess the reference to an old member) and into origalchemy, the process of turning paper into gold by folding it. so far, no luck; I keep overshooting and ending up with platinum.
I'm often woken by my father playing the spoons at 3 AM.
oh, and I'm a bit nerdy:

» Worst Band Ever
any so-called RnB group since the genre went downhill.
good RnB: just take a look at the soundtrack for the blues brothers.
pathetic corruption of the genre: pretty much ALL modern entries to it.

» Things we do to fit in
I fit in in most places
despite a strange taste in music (scottish pirate metal) and being a sci-fi fan/conspiracy nut/being referred to as "bill nye" by some people/being into Gmod (still can't master them expression chips or odd way of speaking for RP). but the one place I don't fit in...
is on a bus. I can't stand them, but I have to get 2 every day to get to where I'm going on time. I try to sit near the front (but not too near the front due to old people.) I can't really sit at the back (due to illegal smokers and asthma) so I sit sort of near-the-front-ish. sometimes someone I know gets on and we argue for a bit. bah. good old public transport...
length? well the bus is medium size, so about 29-34 feet.

» Famous people I hate
no naming names...
but boybands and RnB singers. they're clogging up the charts with their incessant crap, we're due a change. we need metal. we need rock. we need... pretty much anything but what we have at the moment. unless some new guys show up singing opera and become a hit, the charts can't get much worse in my eyes.

» Procrastination
well...
I think of questions to ask 118118 (but never send them), such as:
where is bin laden hiding?
why?
were the moon landings faked?
how much are you paid?
what is the meaning of life?
if I were to set off now from london, would I get to barcelona quicker by train, bike, car, helicopter, fleet of turtles or plane?
why don't chickens that eat smarties lay rubik's eggs?
what number am I thinking of?
when is hammer time?
what is the square root of -9?
can a snake eat itself?
how can I train a poodle to fly?
how many planes have flown across papua new guinea since 1900?
yeah, I'm kinda mad.

the day before
my local burger king shut down (fear ye not- a new one opened eventually, and the company that took the spot of the first didn't last long), I decided to treat myself to my usual... they forgot to charge me.
one XL bacon double cheeseburger, large fries and drink and onion rings. ALL FREE.
