Welcome to Openopinion: Introduction

[Frankie]

[glow=silver,2,300]Hey all, and welcome to my proboard site. I've kinda wanted to try and make a website, but most of those cost money so I thought I'd try my first one here.

What this 'site' will be all about is its boards. I'm gonna make various boards or forums, different areas for different subjects. One could be a rant section, another where you can display your writing skills or various projects you are working on. Another one made be an opinion site or advice. Whatever. I will need LOTS of help with this.

For now, this board will serve as an introduction place for you to meet the others. So please, introduce yourself. I guess I should start, should I? ;D

Well, my name on here is Gizmo, and obviously I'm the creator of the site.

[pineappleygoodness]

-My name is Sidney
-I live in NC, though I highly dislike the state in all of its entirety.
-Good grammar makes me happy
-I agree, roleplay improves grammar, and I do a LOT of it
-I read. Constantly.
-I'm seventeen and I buy my own stuff.
-I spend a lot of time drawing, and a lot of time using acrylic paint, neither of which I am too awfully good at.
-I am on the computer a lot, which is my laptop, and I love it.
-My car is ridiculously small.
-I am a natural blonde, but have been dying it a dark brown the last few months, and it is working out for me quite nicely.
-I love music of just about any kind, there is no genre I won't try.
-Bossing me around is a really quick way to piss me off.
-I can take criticism if it is valid criticism. However, if you are someone who just likes to point out things you don't like in a person, you and I will be at odds.
-Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
-I cuss a lot, if I do it to a point that makes me uncomfortable, say something.
-I am generally a friendly, talkative person, but it is easy to get on the wrong foot with me.
-I am quick tempered, but I am capable of apologizing if I am wrong.

[mangolicious]

Hello, my name is Lexi. I'm 5'1" (5'2" on a good day), a red head, and I have green eyes.

|x| I go by many names: Lexi, Chick, Chicka, Mango, Spazztic Happy Fool, Lex, Alpha pregnant dog, Lexluthor, Lexipotomous, Lexinator, Lexington, many things with 'Lex' in them, and whatever else you choose to call me.
|x|I like a lot of things, and I dislike a lot of things.
|x|I can be bipolar at times and moody, and sometimes I can be a little hypocritical.
|x|I enjoy humor of almost any kind.
|x|I hate almost every one, but tolerate a few people.
|x|I try to act nice when first meeting some one. But come off as an not a very nice person, I'll be a pregnant dog right back.
|x| I live for my friends and, honestly, I don't know where I'd be with out them.
|x|I'm also extremely apathetic most of the time. Unless you have a serious issue you're dealing with, I most likely don't want to hear any sort of petty whining.
|x|I curse, get the hell over it. If you can't be mature about it then you don't need to be on the internet or anywhere public for that matter. However, if it get's out of hand, feel free to check me on it.

On to the random stuff!

Music: I live for music. I can truthfully say I'm a music junkie. I listen to almost everything ||Minus country|| I do primarily listen to rock, but I don't mind hearing other things. I'll even listen to rap occasionally, as long as it isn't the stupid kinda that talks about ass. I'm also part of my school's band program. I play Baritone and trumpet.

Likes: Music, friends, manga, anime, Comedy Central, purple, the twenties, the sixties/seventies, The Beatles, good grammar, I adore rain, dogs, winter, and most things idiots consider 'emo' or 'goth'. I absolutely love art, I draw and happen to be decent at it. I also enjoy writing and roll playing. Yeah, call me a loser. Whatever. I like what I like and if it makes you feel better to think me an idiot, then go ahead. I'm beyond caring about what others think.

Dislikes: Mushrooms, people, cats ||Most of them anyways.||, close mindedness, lawyers, censorship, hypocrites, bad grammar, Earth Science, random stuff that bugs me, and overbearingly religious people.

Sexuality: I am bisexual, NOT confused. Thank you very much. If this bothers you, too d**n bad. I'm not going to feel bad because of who I love. However, I do understand many people are opposed to it, and frankly...I respect those who respect me. If you have a problem with it, that's fine, but don't try to persecute me for it.

Religion: I am atheist. No that is not Satan worship. Atheism is the belief in no god or higher being. So basically...I'm under the impression you die and that's about it. But please keep in mind I have nothing against people who do have a religion. I think it's wonderful you can believe so strongly in something I obviously can't. Props to you faithful people.

Stereotypes: f**k 'em. If you have to label every one around you because of your own insecurity with who you are then you can go to hell ||Not that there is one||. I am Lexi, there is no stereotype to categorize me in because I am above classification. I am me, plain and simple.

Yeeaaah....I'm thinking that's about it for now. Hey, I have a lot of free time.

[thaduke2003]

Well hey, all- my name's Mark- Shaggy, Fluffy, whichever- been called worse, no matter what you call me The name comes from my constantly unkempt (washed/shampooed, but never brushed and rarely cut) hair. The rest come from my very loose attitude on life- I live my life my way, and don't much care for conforming to what people want from me- that's why I dropped out of college (wasn't learning anything from the school, but I did get a good education outside of class), and why I left Wall Street and now am a tech student (auto tech).
I've been writing loosely for the greater portion of my life, but lately, too much writer's block. I also race cars, train horses, SCUBA dive, skydive, and love just about any type of adventure- I am an absolute adrenaline junkie. I try to get my car sideways at least twice a day (it's a Subaru wagon- don't be hating- it'll leave you in the dust ), and try to make everyone around me smile just as often.
My life philosophy: go big or go home, clothing optional, live life, love, love life, and be free. I live my life in quotes, and love movies, and I always have a song in my head (or maybe coming out of it).
My beliefs:
Religion: do what makes you feel good- don't try to impart or force it onto others- if they want to believe, let them choose their own path- be a guide, not a Pied Piper. I choose spirituality to be my guide- no church, no K'Ran- just faith and hope.
Love: it's out there, and in many forms. I have love for friends, love for things, love for ideas thoughts and beliefs, love for things I may even dislike, and love for people I truly love. I give my heart away too easily, have been hurt plenty for it, but keep my heart out for anyone who thinks they're worthy of it.
Sexuality: feel good and do your thing. Don't judge people on what they think, feel, choose, or believe. I've kept an open mind, and an open heart- women appeal to me, but I believe in the freedom to choose.

I live in Statesville, NC, for the time being. I'm going to NTI in Mooresville (don't waste your $), and work with Ms. Francesca G. Hendrix there, although I'm a server to her hostessness. I also work as a mechanic for me, myself and I (my favorite boss by FAR!), and love every minute of it (minus the 100 degree heat down here!)
I am originally from Brooklyn, NY, and have lived in 7 states in the past 4 years. I am a wanderlust, and choose my path carefully, but never plan too far ahead- life just throws me whichever way it likes, and I love every d**n minute of it.
I have to start getting ready for work now- I'll be posting a fair bit more (because Frankie asked me to :-p) in the coming days.
Until then, cheers- Mark W.

[Mason]

The name's Gabriel, and I seem to be the youngest member on this site at the age of 14.
Freshman this year, looking forward to it. I'm not a health nut, but I tend to avoid fatty foods and the likes. I'll be playing Lacrosse in the spring (1st year). I used to fence, but it's not anything like the movies. It's extremely boring (to me), so I quit after obtaining my "certification" that I'd completed the course. Like many other people here, I cuss a lot. I wish I could play the drums, but there's no way on this earth my parents would allow them in the house. When I'm 15 I'll be moving to Washington, D.C., so hopefully I'll do it then. ;] I plan on going to University of Chicago to obtain a degree in Criminal Justice, then become a police officer, then detective, and hopefully, eventually get to the FBI. Of course, time will tell if that's really going to happen. My favorite music group is Avenged Sevenfold. I'm Agnostic, which means that I believe in no higher power unless it can be proven. I LOVE movies where things blow up, shots are fired, and you're on the edge of your seat. annd that's all I can pretty much think of.

[Princess Sarah]

I am Sarah. My birthday is May 8, 1991.
I have lived in North Carolina for about 5 years now from Colorado Springs, Colorado.
I am not going to lie, the state is much better(to me, I am biased by the 100% snow difference), but I would never trade my life that I have here for that; I have grown to love my friends here and would fight to the death to keep them.
I have a passion for trying to understand why people do things (It's weird I know) but people just fascinate me. I love reading, I could read all day long and still want to read more.
Movies are my next passion, I am exhilarated about the fact how much technology has increased and transformed over the years since the 20's. I believe that people take too many things for granted, imagine; what would you do without a refridgerator, that would just suck.
I was born a Roman Catholic, and I am a Panamanian (hispanic).
I have not been good to my religion and for a while I just didn't have one (to myself, i will always say i am catholic, but words don't mean anything). Recently (I mean like 3 months recent ) I have been trying to find myself through God, I am trying so hard, and I know that I will accomplish my goals sooner or later, and I will see for myself what I really believe in.
I am weird, not like "OMG PIE" kind of weird, but just plain strange... yeah... maybe not, I just think i'm weird, haha.
I laugh too much, but thats not bad, I just enjoy the feeling of happiness.
I love to sing. I didn't say I was good at it.

Video Games= My Passtime.
Yes, I play World of Warcraft, say what you will, I don't care; I've just gotten on the train and never went home haha.
I play horror/action games mainly (you got, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, FEAR [too scary for me, and some adult males I know haha], Resistance, Assassin's Creed) basically all of the 'boy' games haha, some adventure (final fantasy). All the other stuffs like guitar hero and rock band/ DDR you know is great too, photographic memory helps with that stuff.

Musically talented --enough said.

I want to have the ability to write so bad, but I've had writers block for 4 years. (thats painful)
It is as if my imagination is in the off position-- and I need to find the key to unlock my mind.
I like to run a lot now-- and my goal to become super-fit, is being persued.

I am a complete Chemistry freak, I just GET it. It is my calling.

MY motto is to live , love , learn and leave a legacy. This has impacted my life in many ways, it was from a man that was doing a speech at Pikes Peak Community College in CO; a while back and I have kept it.

I am nice and will try my hardest not to be mean to anyone, sometimes comments just slip up, but hey, It couldn't hurt to say I am only human

I eat, anything. NEXT

I am going to be a senior, thats completely irrelivant but I have run out of things to say so bye bye.

p.s. woo frankie , Team Jacob FTW!

[Lorinth]

To all of you, Welcome to Openopinion, I hope you all enjoy your time joining this board, and enjoy showing your emotion to other writers, and showing your art as well.

[theillusionist]

Hmmmm okay, I guess it's my turn.

My name is Ian in real life.
I will be a junior this year.
I am intensely spiritual, but not like some weirdos that curse you for a different religion. I have religious beliefs that consist of many different ones. Mainly Hindu and Christian.
I like chilling with friends, video games, and peace.
I am mostly calm but I can get pretty wild sometimes ;D

And ummmm thats about it.
