Profile for venort:
I've moved away from the family business of crocheting doilies for worms (cookie for first b3tan to guess the reference to an old member) and into origalchemy, the process of turning paper into gold by folding it. so far, no luck; I keep overshooting and ending up with platinum.
I'm often woken by my father playing the spoons at 3 AM.
oh, and I'm a bit nerdy:

» Things we do to fit in
I fit in in most places
despite a strange taste in music (scottish pirate metal) and being a sci-fi fan/conspiracy nut/being referred to as "bill nye" by some people/being into Gmod (still can't master them expression chips or odd way of speaking for RP). but the one place I don't fit in...
is on a bus. I can't stand them, but I have to get 2 every day to get to where I'm going on time. I try to sit near the front (but not too near the front due to old people.) I can't really sit at the back (due to illegal smokers and asthma) so I sit sort of near-the-front-ish. sometimes someone I know gets on and we argue for a bit. bah. good old public transport...
length? well the bus is medium size, so about 29-34 feet.

» Procrastination
well...
I think of questions to ask 118118 (but never send them), such as:
where is bin laden hiding?
why?
were the moon landings faked?
how much are you paid?
what is the meaning of life?
if I were to set off now from london, would I get to barcelona quicker by train, bike, car, helicopter, fleet of turtles or plane?
why don't chickens that eat smarties lay rubik's eggs?
what number am I thinking of?
when is hammer time?
what is the square root of -9?
can a snake eat itself?
how can I train a poodle to fly?
how many planes have flown across papua new guinea since 1900?
yeah, I'm kinda mad.

nativity play in year 1. everyone had to audition for every part. I got the part of a sheep, naturally. at least I wasn't wearing a tea towel...
the previous year we did a load of nursery rhymes. my cameo as humpty dumpty during jack and jill was
a)unexpected
b)crap
c)weird
d)not appreciated by the teachers
e)all of the above

hmm...
I once saw some idiot kid fall down the stairs of a schoolbus a while back. he was sat on a railing, then we hit the infamous bovis roundabout... he did a full flip and facepalmed onto a couple of rather displeased kids a few years older than him. he escaped uninjured, but apparently he got turned to some form of amoeba the next day by the older kids.

» Cringe!
well...
back at school. PE lesson. it was raining and interform was in 2 days, so they didn't want to damage their precious fields. so we played swedish longball. if only it were an international sport... anyway, my turn to bat. ball comes at me, I swing the bat. I hit the ball, and dropped the bat while the force from my swing was still in effect. said bat swings right round my head, hitting me in the face. the PE teachers showed their kindness... they laughed more than the other students.
