I don't have a 'favourite' sport. I have had quite a few (skateboarding, swimming, basketball, karate, Climbing...) but none of them really catch me now, apart from climbing. I love climbing trees and stuff

I love football and play in a team.
I'm pretty good so check the Swedish squad in WC-2010, I might be in there. :)

Sports
I've tried about every sport imaginable. I'm just not really a sports guy, especially teamsports. I'm thinking of doing some fitness when the summer is over.

Music
I've had keyboard lessons for 11 years, and have been playing it for about 12 years now. I also play electric guitar for a couple of months. I wish I had picked up guitar lessons instead of keyboard lessons when I was 7, I could've been the next Jimi Hendrix by now...

Travels
I've been to France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia (for 6 months) and New Zealand. Best country so far is New Zealand, because it is simply gorgeous. I would love to go to the north east of the United States and the east of Canada sometime, or maybe New York for a week. Although I'm not really a city person I wouldn't mind walking around in such a big city for a couple of days.

Sports
I don't play sports regularly, but if I'm out with my friends and someone has a football (English!) and they start playing, I'll join. Also, we usually play some kind of chasing/catching game when we're at the yoof club on friday nights. Games like that never get old when there are hundreds of places to hide and loads of space to run :)
I also like paintball, but it's too expensive to do it more than once or twice a year.

Holiday places
Bali - this is the earliest holiday I can remember, I must have been about 8. We stayed at a 4-seasons-resort for almost free because my aunt worked and lived in it. It was very tropical, and I don't remember it being so hot that it was unbearable to be outside for more than a few minutes. I can't remember much outside of the resort, except for the elephant tour/ride we went on where my sister's and my dad's elephant decided to go on a rampage.

Florida (Orlando) - About 5 years ago when I was 11. We went to all the Disney parks of course, and all the other ones in that area, i.e Seaworld, Universal, Busch Gardens, etc. Most of the disney parks were shite, it was the other ones that were great.

Spain - I've been all around Spain on various holidays, we go there pretty much every year for a week or two if we don't go anywhere else. There are some decent water parks near Magalluf (What kind of place is that to take a 14-year-old to?!). The weather is nice most of the time, and there's a very good atmosphere around some of the outdoor bars/restaurants.

Cruise - a few years back I went on a cruise around southern Europe - Italy, France, Spain, that general area. It was fun being in a completely new location each day and seeing how all the cultures were different, and all the history. The boat itself was rather cool too, they employed people just to hand you towels and bring you ice.

Tunisia (north Africa) - this one was kind of boring. Weather was good until the hurricane hit, but it was only a mild one. We went on a cross-country quadbike tour, which was kind of fun, not much to see other than piles of dumped crap and disease-ridden locals.

These are the only ones I remember. I've also lived in Australia and Spain, but I was much too young to really remember them.

Don't ask :P.

Sports

I'm currently doing archery and fencing, i used to do karate, tennis, and swimming, but they got boring :S. I'm 30th best in GB at fencing, so i may aswell keep going with it ;).

Sports
Use to do olympic wrestling but quit to do full-time backyard wrestling (performing wrestling pretty much). Still practice with friends now and then. I play a lil' football with the guys too along with mini-golf.

Sprite Movies
I'm a hater but I don't go around voting 0 on them all. I just ignore them. I think poeple that use sprites are just too lazy to draw or think they have no talent. Either that or they're just jumping on the sprite band-wagon.

Sleep

On a random note I finally slept for the first time in 3 days. When I'm workin' on a flash of mine I tend to get maybe 3-5 hours of sleep or no sleep at all. Most thanks to the acursed lip sync. However I am happy. Thanks to all those hours in flash my art has improved. I never pictured myself as a mouse artist but I'm leaning towards it now. :P

Travel

I've only been traveling in the US for the most part, been to most of the east coast a sprinkle of the midwest, and a few places on the west coast.

North Carolina - boring beach scene

Philadelphia - shitty drinking regulations, cool mod meats

New Jersey - dirty and ghetto. Atlantic city is fine if you like to gamble. Beach is dirty tho

New York - love city life.

Connecticut - Too white for me. Not much going on

Ohio - Even less going on here. Afro-Ninja is there tho!

Florida - Tampa has some shady titty bars but its cool, orlando is fine, miami is good, sarasota is
boring.

Georgia - Atlanta is alright, i found it very run down, i like how black people there talk tho. Theres a good pizza place in this graffiti heavy area i think Gi-Go could tell you.

Puerto Rico - Nice vibe, dollars work fine and they have a great little island you can take a boat to with water that glows in the dark.

Dominican Republic - It was fine, the beaches are nice.. not much to do other than that

Wisconsin - I actually like going there, its a good change of pace from city life. Milwaukee is more city like than Green bay is. McDonalds in GB are green and yellow as opposed to the usual red and yellow

Mexico - kind of dirty. The dollar is pretty powerful though. Still though it wasnt all that.

Nevada - Las vegas is worth it.

California - San Diego has the best consistent weather, i didnt care too much for los angeles, and san francisco was pretty nice.

Canada - Montreal was cool but too french. Poutine tastes like dog food. I guess if i go back id goto the non french side.

==================================

Havent been to Louisiana yet but i love southern food.

I finally hit 500 posts!
I seriously don't know how you guys get so many posts. I'm pretty active on this site and the BBS, but my count seems to increase very slowly. I think it may be because I usually only post when I feel I really have something to add or share to the thread....sort of.
What's the secret!?

Am I cool yet?

Sports

I'm in the Athletics Team, my main events are:

- Triple Jump
- Long Jump
- 100m
- 800m, 1500m+

I also like Tennis, Football(Soccer) and Swimming, Crickets also good.

It's not a good idea to post just for your postcount... All the people who have over 5k posts just keep on posting all the time and eventually it becomes high.

Lol! I actually lived in cincinatti for a year or so when i was about 4, too long ago to remember how it was really. Apart from that in america ive done the typical orlando florida theme park thing a couple years ago, didnt go to disney but universal was good, busch gardens in tampa kicks other theme parks asses though. Also visited niagra falls american side at some point not sure what state thats in is it new york?

Yeah I definitely don't post for my postcount, as you can see by my 0.7 per day. Maybe I should just start to share my thoughts more often. :/

I signed up a few days ago. I was literally the last one of my friends to get it. It's strangely addicting, which I don't like. But I do like the iLike music application, even if it does say Johnny Cash is on tour :P

I've been there. I held off because I'd heard of the addiction factor, and didn't want it to screw with my grades. But of course, I got it the week of finals, so it may have anyways. I find it useful, kind of like an online answering machine for when your friends are away.

What does everyone think of this?
http://denvish.net/ulf/120807/60045_rock et_cat.php
It's small game I've made over the last few days as a result of having nothing to code.
I'm thinking, maybe adding powerups and tweaking the physics a bit.

Intersting controls, but too impractical at the moment. It's hard to avoid the comets because it takes so long to change directions.

totally, got it about 2 years ago and never went on but recently everyone i know has started using it as they are going off to uni, so much better. Im not really big on adding all the shitty apps though

Yeah the apps are lame and make it too myspacey like.
Now apps clutter everyones pages and it looks dumb.

I liked the cleanness of it before.

Poutines have to be one of, if not THE best thing I've ever eaten. Like, ever. So perhaps the one you had in Montreal was bad, or I like dog food.

Rocket-Cat game
Well, like was said, it's kind of hard to control it, especially when changing directions.

The controls are original but they suck. Games where the player doesn't have enough control usually aren't too fun.

Musical Instruments

Piano, guitar, violin, oboe

Yeah, I believe in having a simple profile on MySpace as well. Most of my friends jam pack their MySpaces with everything they can think of, like it was a telephone pole with flyers all over it, it just looks cluttered and is annoying. I think that my MySpace layout gives enough information as to who I am without looking like crap.

Lol, no ones been to Oregon. Understandable, considering Oregon's really boring. There's even a town named Boring. :-P
