Dedicated to my friend, Caroline, who suggested that I write this.

1) I like to organize and rearange things that seem out of order to me.
2) I frequently imagine myself firing off futuristic arm-mounted guns at objects.
3) I like black to the point that at any given time of the day you would most likely find me wearing something of that color.
4) On weekdays I wear the same clothes; black shirts, and every week I change my jeans.
5) One time when I was little I ate so many mikans (japanese oranges) that my hands and tummy turned yellow.
6) Whenever I need to do the #2 waste wise, I always go to the downstairs bathroom even though we have one upstairs (I like the privacy and it's bigger, with a fan that makes noise), and place one of the hand towels across the bottom of the door to close the gap so I can't look out (or anyone look in).
7) Whenever I build with LEGOs I always, ALWAYS, have a colour code to follow, and will stick to it. All my colours are grouped together, and I virtually never incorporate black parts into any of my creations UNLESS the colour scheme is completely black or black/dark grey.
8) Another time when I was less than 5 years old (so I was told) I walked from our house down the street to a local store all by myself, and the store clerk brought me back, none of my family knew I was gone.
9) I don't like ketchup (at all) but I do like tomatos. My older sister doesn't like tomatos (or mushrooms) but she likes ketchup.
10) I am not so confident I will be able to think up twenty-five random things about myself, on the spot (in one sitting). + "Japan's Crowd Fisher" Is an anagram for my full name.
11) I've fired a shotgun on two occasions, stood a few hundred meters from a jet taking off (I could feel the vibrations from it in the air), rode a missle like a cowboy (though it wasn't turned on), and sat in the cockpit of an F-15 (I think it was atleast).
12) Whenver I talk to my best friend we both use two messengers to chat/video call, even though we could just as well do it with one. + "The Eyes: They See"
13) I've seen Toy Story (1 & 2), Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, Cars, Ratatoullie, + WALL-E several times, and can quote some scenes from memory (generally with my older sister around).
14) I can adjust to situations more easily than others, even drastic ones like moving from Japan to America. I think even if my family or some of my friends died, I'd get used to it within a few days, so it would take a lot to shock me.
15) I have lived and grown up in Japan for 17 years, and yet I am in no wise fluent in Japanese at all, though I do know more than the average American, but that's not saying much.
16) I would like to (Lord willing) be married, have a dozen kids, and do manual labour for a living. Soon. + I desire to court (involves both families), not date (one on one) my future spouse, and share my first kiss on my wedding day with my wife.
17) Though I am shy when meeting new people, after an hour or so of talking with them, I get very comfortable as if I had known them for years. Same for people I haven't seen in a while.
18) I've had a guitar for over 3 years, yet due mainly to a lack of self-discipline I am not that great at playing it.
19) If I could have any abnormal ability, it would be instantanious teleportation at will.
20) Whenever I play a PC game I generally listen to a sermon or radio program so atleast my time spent isn't a total waste.
21) My one and only dresser in my room is completely filled with LEGOs; from parts to finished models. My clothes are in a plastic drawer under my bed. And I don't wear T-Shirts on weekdays.
22) I've been to the top of Japan (Aomori/Misawa), the middle of Japan (Kobe, Tokyo), and Okinawa (a small island at the bottom of Japan). I've also been to the East coast (Maryland), the West coast (California), and the middle (Colorado) of America. I have yet to visit a foreign country.
23) Sometimes I walk with a limp because I like to, + Canes 'r' Kool. As are mirrored sunglasses.
24) I've considered changing my penname from 'darqlyte' to 'j. c. fisher'.
25) Now I'm relieved that I finally came up with 25 random things to say about myself..

Bonuses! (In case #10 & #25 don't count):
26)Sometimes when I listen to certain songs I make up a scene that would go along with it, as if it were playing in a movie. (Usually includes giant robots blowing things up, or humans with special abilities showing off their powers)
27) When I was five I went to a Christian private school, and one night I shampooed my hair, and noticed when it got dry it was stiff and stayed in place, so I didn't wash it out. The next day at school my head began to itch, so I asked to be excused, went to the bathroom, and tried to wipe at what was itching. I returned to class with a paper towel that I was using to scratch my head, and my teacher noticed some soap suds on the towel, and said something to the effect of, 'You don't put soap on the towel silly." And so they called my mother and she had to personally come to the school and help we wash out my hair in the school's bathroom sink.
