Dele se encante mais meu pensamento

Quero vivê-lo em cada vão momento
E em seu louvor, hei de cantar meu canto
E rir meu riso, e derramar meu pranto
Ao seu pesar ou seu contentamento

E assim quando mais tarde me procure
Quem sabe a morte, angústia de quem vive
Quem sabe a solidão, fim de quem ama

Eu possa me dizer do amor que tive
Que não seja imortal, posto que é chama
Mas que seja infinito enquanto dure

I love the zoo (I know, way off topic). It's so awesome. I especially like Elephants, they're my favorite animal. It's only fun if the weather's really nice, and it's all the animals are out.

The zoo is really boring if it's winter, because most of the animals are inside. :(

At the zoo I go to there are different places for different climates, countries, etc. I like the tigers (my fav) the exhibit with a bunch of sea animals, and the australia house.

[YayGollum]

Yikes! Am so achingly bored that I have resorted to talking about myself? Why, poor Smeagol, why? Garn! Well, the correct order of what should be done at a Tolkien type forum thing ---> Read the books, see the movies. Discuss viewpoints with others until you have discussed pretty much everything that you were interested in. Hang around to see if others can come up with cool bits to discuss that you hadn't thought of yet. Write original stories on what happened after the stuff that the Tolkien dude wrote. Or just fill in some of the dude's gaps. Discuss the likelihood of the stuff that you wrote actually happening with many crazy people who have their own ideas on what could have happened. I tried to come up with R. P.
G. things for you people, but you are not interested. I am merely attempting to stick to the correct order of things. oh well. Now that you have messed things up, here I am. :rolleyes:

Name (that you go by): What? Here? YayGollum. You should be able to see that, crazy person. Some call myself YayG or Yay. Annoying. Why? Use the name that the person chose. Why mess with it? oh well. Real life? Torin. A good name. Strong and unique. Gives a kid too much self-confidence for one person. :D

Age: You should be able to see that, too, but I happen to be twenty, at the moment.

Occupation: Fast food guy because I am not so good in the interviews for the good jobs? Maybe I should change that profile thing of mine. Woah. It has been a while since I paid attention to that thing.

Future Aspirations: To get one of the good jobs. To find a tiny, superly cheap, one-roomed apartment, live alone for the rest of my life, read, write, learn, live there without any furniture, and only spend money on good food. :D

Goal in life: Hm. Realistic one? Mostly the stuff that I already wrote. Future aspirations are good goals, I would think. Unrealistic ones ---> Showing people that...see my quote at the end of this post. Yes! Giving people self-confidence so that they can stop being brainless sheep and mayhaps start making some sense.

Short term goals: To get one of the good jobs. Again. Whoops. oh well. To finish writing this one story that was requested at me, but which I am not so much a fan of since I don't get to write in first person. Garn. To go to bed. To eat some ice cream before that.

Passion: Writing. Good music. Good food. Intelligence.

Hobbies: Writing. Listening to good music. Eating good food. Finding other at least halfway intelligent types. Nethack.

Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): Hm. How would I know what I am famous for? This section requests bits on other people's opinions of myself, which I do not really care to investigate. I know that I am the greatest. Their opinions might be an ego boost or an insult, neither of which should anyone care about. Should I not be asking others what I am famous for? Yes, others would have to fill this in for me, since I don't really know. I could guess, but I could be wrong. I might think that some things about myself are achingly cool, while others might have never even noticed them.

Fave book: Garn. Kind of hard, crazy people. There are a lot of good books. I could write that it was this one book. Or I could write that it was this other book. I read many books. Some that I love make people think that I am crazy for loving them, so I shall go with the neutral The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. The whole thing. I gots someone who let me read one large book with all of the little ones stuck inside of it.

Fave movie: Hm. There are a lot of these, too. Serenity and Batman Begins were good, but they came out recently, so I could be too achingly overwhelmed by their coolness at the moment. I shall probably end up listing all of my favorites as they come to brain. Underworld, The Neverending Story, Amadeus, The Last Starfighter, Fallen, definitely more, but I am not so much of a movie person to remember them all. Those were just the few that came to brain.

Fave sport: Is air hockey a sport? If not, then I guess that I don't have one. Am achingly as well as passionately indifferent. :rolleyes:

Fave store: Hm. Does it matter? Are there not so many different stores to be found around the world that most would not be familiar with any stores that I mention? Do I even know the answer? Do I even care? I am pretty sure that I don't. I do not shop often. How's about the closest grocery store to my house, because I must buy food? Maybe all book stores that carry the books that I wish to buy? I have no particular loyalties.

Fave music: Ah. Anything with a good beat. Anything that you can groove to, tap your feet to, hum to, or bob your head to. Except for country music. Ick. Pure evil. *runs away from the creepy country music fans*

What you can't stand/What you plain dislike: Many things, I am sure. Dogs. People who have the mental disability of believing that dogs are better pets than cats, but then should I not just feel sorry for people with mental disabilities? oh well. Certain noises that make my skin crawl. Popularity. Creepy things that could be cool but which are so achingly popular that I must step away before I have the chance to get interested in them, myself. Too scary. All of those people could be hypnotized. I shall not take the chance. Certain foods. Ah. Country music. Probably many other things. I have held back.

Who you admire: *attempts to come up with someone* Hm. I am pretty awesome. This is hard. I am not a fan of hero worship. I am actually a fan of making myself the most admirable. But then, most would not agree with what I happen to believe is admirable. But then again, I am only trying to impress myself. I guess that my answer would have to be ---> Myself, eventually. Maybe.

What you most love to do: Most love to do? Yikes. Attempting to put beloved activities on scales to determine that which I should hereafter spend all of my time doing? Hm. Is it dissecting questions? No. That which gives me the most joy. How's about ---> Obtaining the feeling of coolness after doing something really cool, to be vague about it.

Your self-confessed flaws: Mayhaps too stubborn? Too large of a fan of honesty? Too large of a fan of not wishing to compromise or change to fit some crazy person's mold? Hm. Too naive.

What intrigues/fascinates you: Yes, definitely learning how to play certain instruments and communicate in certain languages. The trivial bits of knowledge that I happen to be pursuing at the time. Originality, of course. Self-confidence. Intelligence. Am repeating myself, yes? oh well.

What scares you: Dogs. Yikes! Run! Ack! *hides* Hm. Also, large crowds of uncontrallable humans. Strength and stupidity in numbers, you know.

Quotation to live by: You are either an Outcast or in denial.

[Daranavo]

Oh come on Ara, I would expect you to be the first to apply.:D *snickers* I get bored too..like today for instance.

[YayGollum]

In the answering of your question, Daranavo person, I would write something like ---> Ick. No. Why? Garn. Craziness. I would be interested in no such stupidity. I would muchly hope for nobody else to be interested. Ah. But perhaps the suggestion was meant to be senselessly silly. Got it. Do you see why I am not a fan of these threads? Argh. Yes, yes. I was bored. Should have left my computer to play some video games. I understand. sorry about that. *runs away*

[AraCelebEarwen]

YAAAAAAAYGOLLUM :D

*tosses him a fresh fish*

Now now Dar. Do you really think that just because I get bored at times (however frequent that may or may not be) I would think of participating in such a fool's folly.

I see no reason to take part in and or support this idea.
