My third time posting facts in this thread, but since it’s active and I’m bored I might as well.
Also, I love reading everyone’s facts. It’s so unusual when you’ve never met someone but also know a bunch of random stuff about them.
1. I love music, and my main goal in life is to hear as much as I possibly can before I die. I listen to about 7-12 new albums every week, which is a really fun habit and introduces me to so much stuff.
2. Politically, I consider myself a democratic/revisionary socialist, having gone from more hard-left beliefs towards the centre ground. I’m a member of the UK Labour party.
3. An album’s cover image is a huge factor in whether I will listen to it/buy it. I know it sounds shallow, but I figure that since I see albums as a complete work of art, then the cover is part of that.
4. I’m bisexual, and am in the process of coming out to my close friends. Hopefully I will be able to attend a pride event soon.
5. I don’t read nearly as much as I’d like to, but have a love for Jane Austen that started when I read Pride and Prejudice for my GCSE English.
6. If I become a musician, I would like to model myself on Björk or David Bowie in terms of image and versatility, but I don’t think I have a bold enough personality.
7. Although I know the stars and planets probably don’t affect me, I really enjoy astrology and looking at my daily horoscope.
8. My favourite song at the moment is Teenager by Camera Obscura.
9. My favourite movie is Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Well,since it’s late night and I’m tired of doing homework all alone…
1.I am turning 17 this year,*you know what I mean*
2.Up till now I still consider myself heterosexual.Frankly speaking I haven’t thought about the possibility of me being attracted to girls…
3.My only crush in real life was in junior middle school.The boy was quite good-looking and had a close friendship with me,but I was never special to him.I remember watching him shyly from a distance—now I think I was being silly.
4.My current interest is basically classic rock music.I am eager to dig into those oldies but goldies,but sometimes I’m so lazy that I just stick to the Beatles.
5.Besides Beatles,some other musicians/bands I like: the Rolling Stones,Bob Dylan,Joni Mitchell(she’s my favourite female musician),Patti Smith
6.I can play piano,and I hope I can learn to play guitar soon.
7.I have never had a pet.Though I have much affection for small animals,I’m never good at taking care of other creatures and my parents are too busy to look after a pet.
8.I am quite a bookworm,mainly interested in literature,history and music.
9.My new semester begins tomorrow.Going back to school…Oops

This must be my fifth time posting on this thread? But anyways, some more recent facts about me:
1. For any newcomers wondering, I’m currently 16 years old, 17 in August.
2. I’m still very much a “mocker” (but leaning more towards mod).
3. My current hairstyle is modelled on a combination of late ’67/’68 Paul and my favourite Monkee Mike Nesmith, in that it’s parted to the right and I have sideburns. I’ve tried growing a full beard, but because of puberty it was taking forever, so I’m leaving that ’til a little later to try again.
4. I ended up passing all but my science and maths GCSEs last year. Thankfully, I don’t have to resit science in June, but I do have to resit maths. I don’t really mind doing the latter though.
5. I’d quite like to learn how to play steel pedal guitar, as my fascination with that instrument has grown in recent months, but unfortunately there are none in my college.
6. I only recently opened an Instagram account. I can safely say most of my time on there is spent looking at Beatles/Beach Boys memes.
7. I’m slowly trying to branch out of my 60s and 70s rock/pop obsession shell by trying out a few things from new genres. The first three i have lined up are Northern Soul, experimental synthpop and early (80s/90s) hip hop. Any suggestions on particular artists or albums are welcome, just PM me.
Okay, my mind has gone blank, so I can’t think of two more. Hope you enjoyed those 7 though, readers!

I haven’t done one of these in a while, so why not:
1. My hair is slightly shorter now than it was before, as I got a haircut recently, in the hopes that it would curl up some more and look more Plant-esque. Unfortunately, it hasn’t done much
2. I don’t really have any good friends anymore, outside of the forum.
3. Like Peppy Puppy and some others, I am also 16.
4. I love video games; more specifically Nintendo stuff. I’ve got a Switch and a few different handhelds.
5. I want to be a musician, perhaps in a band, but I really don’t know anyone outside of the forum that plays anything.
6. I’m considering getting a job soon, perhaps at a music store.
7. I really want to move to Europe when I’m older, but nobody else seems to support this decision.
8. I am heterosexual.
9. I still want to play through the Mother series, but I still need to figure out the best way to do it. It’s complicated.

I though of 9 things about me:
1. I gave up trying to please others last year. If they don’t like me for who I am they can feck off.
2. I’ve bought about 3 things in the last 5 months – stingy is a good word to describe me
3. I hate plain shirts.
4. I’m atheist.
5. I have no brothers, sisters, or first cousins. Apparently I have second cousins but I’ve never met them and can’t remember their names.
6. When I’m older I want to adopt a child
7. I waste WAY too much time but I enjoy it so it ain’t wasted….
8. I like cooking but I’m too busy wasting time to do much cooking
9. Like a true introvert, I have been known to decline invitations because I wanted to stay home and sit in my chair in my corner and do nothing…

Gotta side with DO on this one, plain shirts are the only ones I can stand (besides Beatles shirts of course)
5. I have no brothers, sisters, or first cousins. Apparently I have second cousins but I’ve never met them and can’t remember their names.
Do you like it? My brother can be annoying but I don’t know what I’d do without him.

Same here

Yes

I do like having the ability to have me time whenever I want – though I don’t know if it is a factor to my introvertness or it helps manage it.
That having been said it would be a good way to alleviate boredom sometimes. (Also my dad has told me multiple times that he never intended me to be an only child)

I haven’t posted here before, so why not? Some of these things are more random than others…
1. I’m 456,280,420 seconds old as I type this, according to this site.
2. I am pretty much fluent in Chinese. Speaking it is somewhat easy for me, but writing is insanely difficult . I also understand Tamil, since it’s my mother tongue, and I’m trying to learn Spanish.
3. My grandmother is an Indian classical musician, but unfortunately I have inherited close to none of her musical talent. I’ve been learning piano for 7 years, and I play about as well as my 8 year old neighbor. It isn’t bad, it’s just not great.
4. I do get some of my art skills from my grandfather. I grew up thinking he used to be a professional artist, but he was, in fact, a Taxman .
5. I have curly hair, and some people ask to touch it. I like it sometimes, but it can also make me feel like I’m in a petting zoo
6. I’m about as straight as my hair is. My parents don’t know, but I haven’t really felt the need to tell them yet.
7. I’ve been a Beatles fan for a couple of years now, but I’ve only been a Beatlemaniac since November 28th, 2018. Since then, 80% of the music I listen to has been Beatles or solo Beatles. I’m trying to listen to 2 or 3 new albums (by other artists) every week.
8. I have to dissect a pig’s heart in biology next week.
9. My family adopted a dog last year. She’s deaf, so she needs some extra care, but she’s super adorable!
