Meet the Grim!

[✖ GRIM]

So hey! I noticed that nearly everyone had an introduction thread, or at least those who're still spamming the boards. Hahah. So I decided to do exactly the same and give a little profile about meself. Those are just basic things like name and age and what my likes are. And anything else that crosses my mind.

Eeehhh, you're always welcome to ask questions that you're really curious about, although of course I take the right to not (completely) answer the question.

Okay, first my name. It's Alex, or Lex if I like you enough, lmao. Feel free to use it on this site. Although just don't say anything negative about me name or use my name in something negative and all that rot, okay guys? XD

Uhhh, the next tidbit of information is where I life. I'm from Belgium, that's somewhere in Europe, if you didn't know. And before anyone asks, Brussels is the capital of Belgium. Not the other way around. ;)

On that note, I love to travel and I've seen quite a bit of countries, those being France, Spain, Italy, Thailand, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Germany, the Netherlands and soon Greece That reminds me that I still need to create an absence thread, hurrr hurrr.

I'm also hoping to plan to go to England one day, Romania, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Hungary. The country I like to see the most though is Russia and Japan along with more of America xD

I'm not about to tell you guys me age, you can count yourself. Lmao. I'm born somewhere in December 1992. So I'm an old geezer, although I won't deny that there are older peeps around here. *innocent gazes to the persons in question* Hah! Well, okay.

As you've noticed, I've this annoying sense of humor. It even makes me feel weird at times, no kidding. But as long it isn't too disturbing no one can complain, right?

Right.

For my likes, well those should be mostly obvious. I like roleplaying, reading, writing, drawing, video games, movies (cinema) and books. I can't go without at least a book or the computer. XD Yeah, sounds pretty sad, huh?

Hmm, I have somewhat of a sweet tooth. If you want to get on my good side, chocolate and whip cream do the trick. Not together of course XD Although if I allow myself, I can eat nearly everything sweet and enjoy it guiltily.

I wanted to type more, but I forget everything else. So I guess this is it for now. Amuse yourself with this.

[Eluard Verlaine]

Don't visit Romania, it's very boring here. Lol. Unless you're in the mall. But malls are fun anywhere? I suppose the food is also something to try. Now that I've been out of the country I see that they really aren't kidding... food just doesn't taste fresh and natural in Paris and London (only other foreign places I know by experience). But the ice cream is fabulous. Utterly fabulous.

Anyway.

Is Alex short for Alexander? Also "Lex" reminds me of Smallville.

What's your favorite movie?

What about book?

What would you say to living in France?

Do you know other foreign languages aside from English?

You're 4 years younger than me. That's not a question.

What's your favorite element?

What superpower would you like to have?

Annnndd.... what was your first character and where?

[✖ GRIM]

Don't tell me what to do! Even though you're four year older, oldie. xP But it's just not only the food and malls, but just to see something different. I dunno why, but I've always just had the urge to see it. XDD Even if it's boring and all that rot. XD

Officially, yes. But no one uses Alexander for me. XD So everyone just says Alex (or Lex) and most don't even know it's actually Alexander. XDD It's actually fun, especially if they want to write your full name it's like "Oh, it's Alex xxx xxx xxxx, right?" and then I'm like "*trollface* It's actually Alexander xxx xxx xxxx~ 8D" Nah. ^_^ That's just stupid humor again. Lmao.

My favorite movie? Well... I can't actually answer it. It actually depends a lot on my mood. But usually every fantasy movie scores high :) For example, a classic movie like Lord of the Rings. I would never understand how someone can hate it XD ANDOHMG,TTHEHOBBITISCOMINGOUTOVERAFEWMONTHSANDI'MSCREEEAAMMMIIINNNNGGG!!!!

Well, the books are actually quite similar to movies. Again fantasy is high on the like list, but generally I like Robin Hobb, Karin Miller and Tolkien. Although there are so many fantastic books out there that I can read myself sick on (although I admit I won't be so quick to reread the LOTR saga), no kidding. XD

FUCK FRANCE. I went there once, NEVER again, or if I have to return, to places that are better than to those I went (many, many years ago). I find French people arrogant bastards (although I admit it might have been just bad luck that I only have seen the "worst" of them) and while everyone LOVES the language I'm just puking my guts out at the sound of it. That doesn't stop me from trying to learn the language though. XD

Uhhh... Well... my mother language, Dutch (or rather Flemish). But I also speak a handful/few words/phrases of German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Romanian (lol), Russian, Japanese, Afrikaans, French and one or two that I can't recall at the top of my head atm.

Old man xP

My favorite element. Well.... I guess it's fire (my element is fire Although I also suspect a bit of air somewhere). Just because it's generally very gentle if you know how to handle it, but one wrong thing and well.... you know what destruction fire can do. Although I also love the other elements for their strengths. Water that suddenly can be violent, Earth that's hard to move and Air that's ever moving. I can talk hours about this (and if you ever want me to guess what element you are, you'll just have to visit, I'm most of the time pretty accurate xP)

Superpower? Hmm... This is the hardest you've asked thus far. I honestly wouldn't know, because if I have one power, I know that I will envy another's and wish that I had that. But generally, I sometimes just wish that I can read someone's mind and/or see through their eyes.

My first character? Oh gods, I forgot their name. But I know that ONE of the first was named Kain. A son of a bitch and really a piece of work. He was almost a Gary Stu (but c'mon, I was like... what... ten? Eleven?). Believe it or not, it was on a tag box on a LOTR site. Arwen-undomiel I believe it's called (and it's still around). From there someone advertised for a forum (the first one, starting with a V or something) From there it really started. I roleplayed Kain there and a prototype of Raine *laughs*

And since then it only evolved, I went to Dragonriders of Pern sites, Warrior sites, Horse sites, High-school even. I've tried nearly everything. XD Although there are only a few (four-five from the twenty/thirty sites I've joined) who've held my attention for more than a month.

So there it is, I hope this satisfied some of your curiosity. xDD

[Eluard Verlaine]

I like it that I'm older. : P

I also love element discussions. As for my element, the keen observer would have noticed by now (not out of any deductions from my character, but because it was obvious to read at one point) so if you didn't notice from that and want to now guess, it would definitely be interesting to hear! So please.

I liked Paris. The people were gorgeous, refined and elegant and those three things appealed to me. I could see how their appearance could paint them arrogant but the carefully crafted cultural social façade was something I could relate to. While actually interacting with them I found them quite friendly. Actually, I've known French people due to the internet and one of them was the humblest person I've ever seen and the others did have some of that haughty flair but it was just a flavor in the way they spoke and displayed themselves and not really a part of their character objectively.

El shrug.

Being able to read thoughts would be such a nightmare. I would never manage to have normal relationships with anyone again. *flees from the very thought*

Edit: 30 sites? I've been on... *counts* 4 so far. This is the 5th. I tend to last longer on them, obviously.

Maybe I'll ask some more stuff later. Now tell me what element you think suits me.

[✖ GRIM]

LOL, obviously. Evil, evil person you. XDD

Well, believe it or not. But I really find it hard to read it on Internet if someone says "I'm earth/fire/air/water." Because sometimes I don't find that it matches their personality and then it keeps nagging to finally come to the conclusion that they're indeed that (or something else closely resembling it xDD). But if I really need to guess from what I've seen. I would say that you're either water or earth. I'm more going for earth though. And I admit that it can be wrong. LMAO I need to be a bit more awake if I need to give reasons why I think you are. Just first tell me if it's correct.

Because I meant in real life I'm able to guess it somewhat easily. xP

I never went to Paris, I just went through random parts. And yeah, I think I just met the wrong people. Because I admit that I also know a French person who I adore, and that's a lot, considering that I have so many bad memories from France. XD But yeah, maybe I just need to give it another chance and hope it will turn out better than previous time. XDDD

Hahahah. Yeah, that's also a problem I've been considering. That's why I say sometimes, but to have it forever? Urgh no. Although it could be awesome if you could block everyone's thoughts at will and only hear them when you want to hear it. XDDD

Ah, lol. Yeah, I go through a lot of sites really quickly. But mostly because I'm bad at judging if the site suits me. Most of the time I'm like "Sorry, this site is really cool, but it just isn't for me." OR they died on me. >< But I'm always poking my head in on those to see if there's a chance at revival~

And lol... again, go ahead. And I already told. xP But now I'm really hesitating and squinting my eyes and going "hmmmm..." Damn you. XD

[Eluard Verlaine]

What? Me? Evil? What gave you that idea~ : )

I enjoy astrology and have found in depth analysis of my chart to be shockingly accurate. I find it really hard to guess people’s element because it’s rarely a pure display. Like with me, I have strong influences from elements that are “secondary” aspects in my chart so depending on what side you get to see, different people may get different impressions.

Anyway, the only element that’s not really strong in my chart is earth. (LOL) But you’re not the first person to get that false impression because I have a strong sense of what’s practical and may appear “grounded” in the way I see the world, but that’s just an ability. In reality I don’t care for practical matters (even though I can spot their importance) and although I can be very realistic I prefer to be detached from immediate reality, instead exploring the possible but unreal. Well isn’t that a simplified explanation that doesn’t really say much.
Oh well.

You’re not completely wrong though since I’m water and it IS my favorite element and the one I can see clearest in my character. Close second is Fire and then Air. But Fire is very present.

More questions!

1.Would you be a Jedi or a Sith?
2.Do you prefer night or day?
3.What’s your favorite animal?
4.Reptiles or birds?
5.Who’s your favorite anime character?
6.Ninjas or pirates?
7.Of your characters across boards, which one was/is your favorite?

[✖ GRIM]

Seriously? Lmao. XD

Well, I don't know my in depth chart, I only know that my main one is fire. XD But maybe that's an idea to do. I really want to know what my weirdness further entails. XD Lmao, what secrets shall Grim reveal about himself when he does this? XDDD

And weirdly.... Now I can see why it's mainly water. You're too 'playful' to be an earth, I'll just blame my little mistake on being tired. *lame* XD Although I can't really see the fire, but then again, you're right. Not everyone gets to see everything or the same aspect as other people. XD

Sith, because they're still allowed to show their emotions (although I try to not display them, I just can't go without showing them from time to time) XD And c'mon, their powers are just kick-ass.

Night. Night is just beautiful. The day is irritating, especially when the sun shining. The (beginning of) strokes I had because I walked five (or even less) minutes in the sun can't be counted. I nearly always have to be inside and sitting outside in the shadows is nearly always a headache for me. ><

Favorite animal? Cat, totally. xD

Reptiles. Although birds aren't bad either. I just prefer reptiles. I have a few snakes (three cornsnakes) and a lizard (Chinese Water Dragon) here and if I where allowed I would make my collection bigger~ 8B

Humm. My favorite anime character? It's hard to tell, because I don't really have one. Although generally I tend to favor the villains or those who clearly struggle (maybe one of the reasons why I've liked Kai from Beyblade for a very long time? XDD)... Or just kick-ass works too... I think if I have to pick one that I currently like, it's Undertaker from Black Butler. XD

Pirates. Johny Depp, 'nough said. *shot!* To be honest, I never saw the appeal in Ninjas and it doesn't help that "Naruto" is the so called "best anime ever". Urgh. Just no. If it wasn't so popular, maybe I would've liked it better.

I have to say Raine, she was the first female I've ever played and she has this (invinsible) strength that just makes her very.... well.... I don't really find the word to describe her... Maybe appealing? But either way, if I ever wanted a girlfriend, it would need to be someone like her. XD
Also Matt is only used on this site, but I like him very much as well. He is one of those weird characters that have a really, REALLY strong voice in my head and turn out to be more epic than I've thought in my eyes. XDD

[Saskia Murlew]

Hey Grimsby! (sorry, UK joke)

Just a little thing; don't say you're old if you were born in 1992!!! That's MY birth year and I'm still hip, young and happenin'. Bro.

Ugh. Whatevs.

Nice to meet you though and PLEASE tell me the waffles in Belgium as good? And the chocolate. Because that's all I want to believe.

[✖ GRIM]

I caught up on it ;D UK jokes aren't always lost upon me. That's all I have to say on it.

Lmao, I'm far from it, I just feel terrible old. Although I really ain't. XDD It's just something I'll have to get over, I guess. XD

Likewise~

And ohmg. You won't BELIEVE how good they taste. Ahmg. Especially in the winter *w* oehgdihgdoighioghrieoghdfioghzpjrpj. NOW I want some. Darn it...

[✖ NORBEX]

You know, about the old thing, I can relate. I felt really "old" during my 19 and 20 years, then suddenly felt young again at 21, like in a new age category of young, since then I felt old amongst teenagers, but once the shock of no longer being a teenager passed, I started feeling young amongst adults.

[Saskia Murlew]

URHGUEHIGN. Waffles. I think I might take a trip out there (LOL when I have monies?) just to taste the waffles.

Young at heart. That's the best thing to be. Fact.

[✖ NORBEX]

Old soul, young heart. *nodsnods* Or well, you can be a young soul too of course.

[✖ GRIM]

I think I would be the same, Norbex. XD But we'll see.

Oh yes, do come over! We're a friendly bunch over here 8B And we totes can point you to the best places for 'em waffles~ Or I'll just send some over, although how I would manage that remains the question.

A pffff--- It ain't helping, you guys. XDDD *kiddin' kiddin'*
