| I used to get things thrown at me all the time when I was in high school. Most of the time the objects missed me which was fortunate but it still annoyed me. |

| I studied French and speaking was always my worst area. I found what helped a bit was listening to audio clips with transcripts so I could see the words and hear how they were pronounced at the same time. |

| ^ I am not saying that Tool aren't metal. I'm saying the bands the original poster and a couple of others mentioned are not metal. I can not explain it but there is a difference betwen metal and rock. They are related but the bands have different sounds. |

| I chew things almost all the time but don't tend to realise I'm doing it. Because of this I end up chewing my fingers or lips until they bleed. A lot of my pens, pencils, zips, shirt buttons and collars are very chewed as well. |

| As much as I hate to sound like one of those conceited 'kvlt' metal fans, I like true metal - not most the stuff previously mentioned that is closer to alternative rock. I listen to bands from many subgenres of metal, like black metal, death metal, doom/stoner, grindcore. My favourite metal bands ar... |

| One of my worst habits is correcting the grammar and spelling mistakes that other people make. People tend not to appreciate it when I correct their speech but are ok with it when it is written work. Any letters I get from my school I send back with the spelling and grammar corrected because the dir... |

| I very much dislike using the phone to call people. If the only way to find out information quickly is to phone somebody I will ask someone else to do it for me or just avoid it completely. Email and texting are a great deal easier. |

| I have a relatively small vinyl collection (when compared to my digital/CD collection). I'm not sure I prefer it over CD/mp3 because it is a pain to store and keep in good condition but the sound is a lot clearer. I also like that it's a bit more 'interactive' than other media - cleaning the record,... |

| I have tried alcohol but I did not like the taste of it or its effects. Unfortunately, not drinking means I am automatically excluded from most social gatherings of friends or acquaintances because their sole purpose is to get completely drunk. |
