I also have the ability to make very convincing lies on the spot. It's very helpful.

I am a great mathematician, and yet sometimes cannot do certain basic arithmetic in my head if both numbers in the decimal base system exceed the tens place...
...for example, 21*36. I need this computer screen (or paper) to solve it.
21*36
21*(6*6)
21*6*6
(20*6+1*6)*6
(120+6)*6
100*6+20*6+6*6
600+120+36
720+36
756

I need this computer screen (or paper) to solve it. 21*36 21*(6*6) 21*6*6 (20*6+1*6)*6 (120+6)*6 100*6+20*6+6*6 600+120+36 720+36 756 There's an easier way of doing long multiplication. I'll use 21*36 too: 21*36 =(20*36)+(1*36) =(2*360)+36 =720+36 =756 OR: 21*36 =(21*30)+(21*5)+(21*1) =(63*10)+(210/2)+21 =630+105+21 =756 You take the bigger number, multiply it by the tens of the smaller number and then the units of the smaller number. It's a bit slow, but it's a bit easier than the 21*6*6 method. >_> <_< What? Oh, right. Yeah, the * means multiply. |

I hate math. It's always been my downfall in and out of school.
And yet I somehow ALMOST majored in it in college, but Speech beat it out by about a 5% average.

I can fake cry.
I can burp on command. XD
I can play Guitar Hero on EXPERT (TTFAF, OZONE!).
I can lie quickly and easily and convincingly (usually).
I can... um..... try to think of more things and fail....

I find that I am a terrible liar.
I mean, some people are easy to find out, but me, no, I'm INSTANTANEOUSLY found out.

I find that I am a terrible liar. I mean, some people are easy to find out, but me, no, I'm INSTANTANEOUSLY found out. C'mon, tell us the truth. I seem to have a knack for driving. I've had 5 lessons and I've done reverse turning, turning around on a side road, a reverse bay park and an emergency stop, which my friend claims he had done in 10 lessons. Oddly enough, I had to take the theory test 4 times. |

Meh, who needs theory when you have practical? Theory seems pretty pointless to me.
Who needs Guitar Hero when you have a REAL guitar that actually plays REAL music?

Given that you NEED to take the theory so you can do the practical, I'd think it's pretty essential. It's to show you have a moderate knowledge of the highway code, and that you can tell when to slow down/change direction on the road should you need to. And Guitar Hero is for the people who either haven't got the manual dexterity or the knowledge of how to play a real guitar, and like to imagine they CAN play guitar. It's a simulation game for those people who didn't spend most of their time/money on learning to play guitar, those people with other proffesions, such as teaching, banking or driving instructor who want to have fun. It's like saying "Who needs sex toys when you have a boy/girlfriend?" (sorry for question topic, only thing that came to mind :S) You're assuming that everyone can suddenly do what you do (ie play guitar, get a boy/girlfriend), which is rather stupid. |

No, im not assuming everyone can learn the as guitar easily assume people can, but if you simply get out and get one, work hard, theen you can do it.
Once again, you jump the gun and call me stupid just because you interpreted something i said wrong....

Once again, you jump the gun and call me stupid just because you interpreted something i said wrong.... Okay. I interpreted your first post as "If you can play a real guitar, you don't need Guitar Hero", which, according to you, is wrong. How should I have interpreted it? Your most recent post says that anyone can go out, buy a guitar and be good at it after an undisclosed time of "hard work". What does that imply? Most people can't just get a guitar and learn, mainly due to monetary and time restraints. And you'll notice I said your assumption was stupid. I didn't say YOU were stupid. |

Let's be careful, people, I think I see sparks coming from the firewood...
I know that if you make an exaggerated positive remark to someone, you can make that person insult him/herself. I also know that if you exaggeratedly insult yourself, you can get others to compliment you.  |

Grr... 
I'm either REALLY good at Onslaught, or the online competition's pathetically weak. The enemies have weak spots that glow neon green, and they just seem to aim at something nearby it, like the metal body ie NOT the weak spot. It's bloody pathetic... Andandand on Guitar Hero World Tour, I managed to Full-Combo "One Way Or Another" by Blondie on Medium, first shot!  |
