Amusing little complete-the-sentences meme
Found this on a friend's blog, and thought it'd be more fun as a forum game. Complete each two-word phrase below, and create a sentence about yourself.
I am: easily amused. I think: interactive storytelling is important. I know: I'm always right, for selective values of "always" and "right". I have: the greatest job ever. I wish: for my own apartment, already. I hate: everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. I miss: when commercial adventure games didn't suck. I fear: for our children. I hear: the dulcet baritone murmurs of my coworkers. I smell: asphalt, which makes me think of Maureen. I crave: nothing right now; I just had hot chocolate, and I'm full. I search: for love, in all the wrong places. I wonder: if we'll ever get to go to the moon or ride around in flying cars, like they promised us 50 years ago. I regret: on occasion, but I try to spend more of my time thinking about how to do things better next time, now that the damage is already done. I love: a good conversation. I ache: for the touch of your lips, dear, but much more for the touch of your whips, dear. I am not: like all the others. I believe: that the world of imagination is more interesting than the world we perceive with our senses. I dance: on a DDR mat. (Don't laugh.) I sing: but I generally prefer instruments. I cry: when I have PMS. I fight: for the underdogs. I win: at life. I lose: at life. I never: forget to wash my hands. I always: use capital letters and punctuation. I confuse: even myself, sometimes. I listen: when people talk about their feelings. I can usually be found: easily, if you're looking. I am scared: and excited all at once. I need: to know what my actions mean in the grander scheme of things. I am happy about: indie game development. I imagine: for a living.

I'll play later, but for now I just have to point out that I love this:

I am happy.
I think slowly. At least sometimes. I know plenty of things. It's translating that knowledge into practice that can be difficult. I have a lot to be grateful for. I wish: A great song by Stevie Wonder. I hate the times when I act unfriendly. I miss a lot when I try sports. My aim isn't that good. If I kick a ball, it may end up anywhere (if I hit the ball at all). I fear things will get worse. There are signs that point that way. I hear the aforementioned song by Stevie Wonder, now played by iTunes. I smell: Not much. My smelling sense is really bad. I crave: Nothing at the moment. (Friends sometimes make fun of the fact that I rarely eat sweets.) I search: Mostly using Google. I wonder: I'm not a wondering type, but sometimes when I wander I'm filled with joy and thanks for this wonderful world. I regret the times when I made the wrong thing. I love music. And my family, and… not in that order. I ache: Not really. My back itches though, since I was stupid enough to not protect myself properly from the sun one day a week ago. Now the skin on my back is falling off. With a skin as light as mine, you have to be careful. I am not like all the others. (Yes, I stole Deirdra's answer. It's an answer that's fit for duplicating.) I believe in God. I dance when I'm all alone. I sing all the time. I cry when watching Disney's Robin Hood. I fight: No. I do believe that there are things worth fighting for, but fighting is not one of my talents. I win sometimes. I lose with a smile. I'm generally not a competitive person. I never drink alcohol. I always use capital letters and punctuation. (Ok, so I stole yet another answer, but it fits me too.) I confuse people when I try to be funny. I listen: Well, I try anyway. If I'm not a good listener, it's because I'm bad at asking questions, and not because I'm not listening. The lack of questions can look as a lack of caring though, which is unfortunate. I try to improve. I can usually be found: Playing, singing or listening to music. (I was tempted to steal Deirdra's answer once again, but I decided that would be too lazy.) I am scared by wasps, spiders and such things. I need: Many things. The most important of them are related to point 18 above. (If I counted correctly.) I am happy about life in general. (Note that I didn't steal Deirdra's answer. I could have, though.) I imagine this post could have been more entertaining.

I am more thoughtful than my posts here probably suggest.
I think Major League Gaming is the best thing that's happened to the gaming industry since Doom. I know very little about truffles. I have a new pair of spectacles, which finally have a good tint. I wish: my life was more exciting. I hate the lowest common denominator. I miss the friends I had to leave behind. I fear Tyrannasaurs in F-14s. I hear Various noises. I smell: Nothing, because my allergies are bothering me. I crave: Gears of War 2. I search: Using MSN Search, as I'm not a fan of Google. I wonder: When we'll develop interstellar travel. I regret nothing. I love the sight of heavy machinery doing its thing. I ache: When I've pulled a muscle. I am not like all the others. Hey, no need to change my colleagues' answers, if they fit. I believe in wearing cargo pants. I dance never, because I couldn't if my life depended on it. I sing never. See answer above. I cry rarely, if ever. I fight: only when I have to. I win at FPS games. I lose at adventure games. I have to check the walkthrough every five minutes. I never eat garlic. I always brush my teeth. I confuse(d) that senile old guy at the airshow, when I had to shout so he could hear me. And there were like hundreds of people in line behind me. I listen: Carefully. I can usually be found: At home. I am scared of global warming. I need: Air, water, and food. I am happy about my new glasses. I imagine that the world would be a much better place without money. |

I am strange.
I think too much, though how much is "too much"? Let me think about this. I know this universe isn't an accident. I have as much entertainment as I'll ever want. I wish I could meet myself. I hate people who try to change me. I miss the one person I was ever friends with who was like me. I doubt I'll ever see him again. I fear my future self. How do I know what he will or won't do? How do I know he won't give up? (I am the sort of person to give up.) I hear high-pitched sounds. In practice, that just means I can tell if a TV's on nearby. I smell bad, as I'm told. I crave good games. I search for opportunity. I regret missing opportunities to show off. I love to explore. I ache in my right hand. Didn't notice until just now, so it's obviously not too bad. I am not. I believe the human mind can be comprehended. I dance by hopping up and down. I do that often. Though, is that technically a dance? I sing only when it can't possibly be interpreted as a faux pas. I used to cry about everything, but then I realized that is not socially acceptable and stopped. Now I mostly just cry at movies. I fight myself at every turn. I win those fights. I lose those fights. I never can win without losing, but I never can lose without winning. I always make a fool of myself when I deal with normal people. I confuse them, though there's really nothing to be confused about. I listen only to my past self, and people he would have agreed with. I can usually be found at my computer. I am scared of losing control of things. I need people willing to listen to me. I am happy about my achievements: my blog, the game I'm working on, my music. I imagine I'll be a great gamist someday. Or a useless bum. I wonder which. |

This is fun, Squinky! I've enjoyed reading all the answers so far. Here are mine:
I am open to new experiences, as long as they don’t include hairy spiders. I think more about the hereafter now. When I walk into a room, I think what the hell am I here after? I know I still have a lot to learn about life, the universe, and everything. I'm working on it. I have all I need, except for those nifty pair of sandals I saw yesterday and some dark chocolate. I wish aliens would land in my back yard and ask me if I want to take a tour of the galaxy, but only if they don’t have 8 hairy legs. I hate injustices, like when my favorite TV show, Farscape, was cancelled. Oh, yes, and big hairy spiders. I miss Chuck, Scotty, Mom, and my often absent mind. I fear that aliens with 8 legs will take me barefooted to a world without chocolate and leave me there forever. I hear birds squabbling at my bird feeder and the soft pleasant hum of my computer. I smell coffee brewing, one of the best smells in the world. I crave dark chocolate. (Excuse me. I’ll be back to finish the list later.) .... I search for the perfect pair of shoes. I found some chocolate. I wonder when they’ll find that stargate so I can go off and explore the universe without having to rely on those 8-legged aliens. I regret a few things I didn’t do but nothing that I’ve done so far. (I may regret not buying those nifty sandals, however.) I love life and fun lists like this. I ache for lost friends taken away too soon. I am not going to grow up nor give up chocolate! I believe in second chances. I’ve certainly had my share. I dance as if no one is watching, which is true because they’ve all been knocked unconscious or have run away. I sing with passion and without needing a bucket to carry the tune. (One of my ancestors must have been Welsh.) I cry when Pavarotti sings “Nessun Dorma” and when my favorite shows are cancelled. I fight for justice, chocolate, and nifty shoes for everyone. I win the lottery in my dreams so I can buy all the chocolate, shoes, and coffee I want. I lose myself in books, but usually find my way out again. I never feel bored because I’m too busy trying to figure out life, the universe, and everything (except spiders). I always floss and pay my mortgage. I confuse myself by leaving my dental floss in the paid bills file and my mortgage bill in the medicine cabinet. I listen to “Nessun Dorma” when I want a good cry. I can usually be found with my nose in a book or pressed up against my computer screen. I am scared that those nifty sandals are going to be gone before I finish typing this list. (Ha! You thought I was going to mention spiders again, didn't you?) I need a new wing on my house to hold all my shoes and books. I am happy about nearly getting to the end of this list. I need some more chocolate. I imagine that everyone will need a cup of my coffee after reading this. I did say I’m never bored but nothing about being boring.

I am in a social slump currently.
I think in complicated ways. I know the world is not what it seems. I have a constant feeling. I wish I knew a certain person better. I hate, but try not to discriminate. I miss the days back in upper secondary school. I fear spiders. Ick. (so, that's two sentences) I hear my thoughts. I smell the air. I crave for something I can't quite put my finger on. I search for moments. I wonder things all the time. I regret even though I try not to. I love the sound of the cello and the guitar. I ache if I'm kicked. I am not a fool, I hope. I believe that wisdom is worth striving for. I dance only when I'm not serious. I sing almost only when I'm alone. I cry little on the outside. I fight against idiocy. I win time. I lose, but it doesn't matter. I never seriously categorize things. I always try to think things over. I confuse others often. I listen mainly to instrumental music. I can usually be found at home, sadly. I am scared of things changing too abruptly. I need to get out more. I am happy about how things have turned out so far. I imagine how the universe works (or try to - and end up rebooting my mind)  (Edit): Or should I have been amusing?

I am hiding out, drinking cold tea and listening to music through headphones.
I think I'm having trouble focussing today. I know I have a lot of work to do. I have enough preparation work done to keep me busy for a couple of weeks. I wish I were able to focus better when I have so much to do. I hate feeling like I'm not able to do something I consider part of my field. I miss four people, all of whom I wish I could hug right now. I fear that my first novel isn't going to be read by Ace/Roc Books. I hear the music from that Myspace page has ended. I smell very little, due to my messed up sinuses. I crave lunch with a close friend. I search my psyche for the courage to keep trying. I wonder how it would really feel to be there right now. I regret that the day hadn't lasted longer. I love the feeling of knowing that I belong, and that I am loved. I ache to hold her right now. I am not wearing socks. I believe I will get at least one thing on my To Do list done today. I dance for the amusement of others, or when in the presence of young women. I sing badly these days. I cry during the parts that remind me how wrong I can be. I fight with my own insecurity on an almost daily basis. I win a small victory over myself when someone tells me they like what I do. I lose when I start second-guessing people who say nice things about me. I never like to admit I don't understand. I always take more work upon myself than is good for me. I confuse people when I start talking about story ideas. I listen to a lot of slightly off-beat rock music. I can usually be found in front of my computer. I am scared of losing my ability to create. I need to get back to work. I am happy about not being homeless, or working in a factory. I imagine this could all lead to something special in my life, but what I can't guess. |

I am tired.
I think most of the time. I know a buttload of crap. I have little. I wish for more. I hate being apart. I miss Europe. I fear no one. I hear music. I smell stale air. I crave flight. I search for meaning. I wonder why. I regret the way I said some things. I love fiercely. I ache deeply. I am not well-rested. I believe there is life elsewhere. I dance when I'm alone. I sing in the shower. I cry in my pillow. I fight the urge to stay. I win at Halo 2. I lose at Ragdoll Masters. I never sleep long enough. I always exercise to music. I confuse names. I listen poorly. I can usually be found via mobile phone. I am scared about what the future holds. I need to leave this place. I am happy about the potential I perceive. I imagine all will be well.
