please explain


Well basically when I moved in I got an electricity bill addressed to my house but the name of the person was something completely different. Then one day this little Indian guy shows up saying if I sign up with his company I'll be paying 40% less etc, so I signed up and figured it'd just be switched over. I keep getting bills addressed to this random person, but never once got one from the new company I signed up to. So essentially in the last 13 months I've never paid a bill, the power hasn't been cut off and I haven't heard from the other company since March last year.


which company are you with now? surely not one of the major ones. and i hope this indian bloke comes to visit me one day, instead of giving out bibles they might give out free electricity

The company that keeps sending out the letters to some random person is TRU energy, the other company I have no idea about lol they signed me up but I didn't hear from them. The one useful Indian I have come across.

Here's a few more:

- I'm addicted to Puma shoes, I own quite a few.

- I started getting educated about wine and champagne flavors when I was about 6 years old.

- I just adopted a 4-month old male cat that we called Gizmo (is there a "This is my pet" thread anywhere to show a few pix, or would that be too corny?). I could make quite a few of my own lolcats if I took the time to take enough pix, he's pretty fun to watch. Keeps biting like crazy though, that's getting annoying.

- I have a 6'6" older brother but I'm only 6'.

- I've been biting my nails (well, my fingers really) like a fucking cannibal for about 20 years, just can't control it.

- If inspired to make something pretty complex, I find cooking very relaxing.

- I used to be bullied when I was young, I was too small and weak for my age.

Even though my PC isn't completely outdated and I have an Xbox 360 and play new releases, I'm a sucker for retro gaming. That's why I've never thrown out, traded in or given away my old consoles; sometimes I'll pull out the N64 or even the SNES and play some Donkey Kong Country, Mortal Kombat or Zelda. I guess I could include the PS2 in that category, along with some old, old PC games just for fun every once in a while.

- I crack my fingers, knuckles, neck, elbows and toes.

- I always sleep on my side but I can never sleep facing the wall so I don't have that much options :|

- I too have the symmetricity problem; I'm constantly moving stuff around the table, for example the speakers to line up the same distance from the computer...

- I have different clothes I wear at home than anywhere out.

- I get pissed if I don't get a glass of milk in the morning.

- I have a real good imagination and I think a lot about things. Sometimes I loose my nights sleep since I'm thinking too much.

- When I have to do stuff with the computer I always find new sites to check out just for the sake of pushing the things I need to do even further.

- I always have my wallet and keys in my right pocket and my cell phone in my left.

- I have blondeish hair but black eybrows and beard, people have asked many times if I have died my hair; I've done that only once in my life about 6 years ago.

- I have a very bad memory when it comes to some things. If I'm at my parents place, somebody calls and tells me to tell for example my mom to call back, I won't remember it.

- I'm very nostalgic about certain video games, I still play almost all of them from time to time.

- If I want a soda and go to a grocery store to buy it, I always buy something else since I feel stupid buying just one item.

- My right foot is ½ US size bigger than my left.

- I always doublecheck my alarm clock before going to sleep.

- I'm a very visual person, I often catch myself gazing at a sunset or looking at the stars, this can happen anywhere anytime.

- I'm too nice and easy to talk into things. I just got talked into getting a new savings account although I have trouble getting enough money to live :?

- I also can bend by thumb backwards 90 degrees. Most of the people think it's groce.


Interesting thread. Makes some of my habits seem normal :lol:

Thu Feb 28, 2008 2:30 pm

More stuff:

- I keep everything people give me as a gift. I even have those plastic candy wrappers that friends gave me.

Thu Feb 28, 2008 3:17 pm

Actually, it doesn't. They have won 4 championships on a row :lol: I've seen about 4 games in the past two years.

Wow, I just fell comfortable that way.

- I like the colour green. It calms me, seeing it.

- I spell color, colour and some other words such as lisence to licence. (Canadian thing, teachers marks you wrong if you do the other way around.)

- I never really noticed I have myopia until I had an eye examination few days ago.

- My pinky toe nail is practically dead on both feet. They did not grow since they died.

- I like cracking my fingers but don't do it with my ring finger (somehow hurts me).

- I do my homework in front of the computer or tv all the time.

- My laugh sounds funny, somehow resembling shots of a machine gun.

- I would think about something and randomly laugh.

- I try to sleep without moving because the next day my hair is all messed up and could barely fix it promptly.

- When I fart I don't excuse myself and try to not tell anyone I just did.

- I only buy new shoes once a year.

- I suddenly became a Raps fan just because I moved to Canada.

- I barely know any other sport than basketball.

- I am short for my age, but I am catching on at 4'11''.

- I don't get bullied despite my size.

- I like taking short showers my max is 8 minutes.

- I do not like odd numbers except for 1 and 5. I'd get uncomfortable with a volume of 11,13, etc.

I discovered recently an old school one, the "Labs II" I think. I only have one pair but I'm looking everywhere for more of these, they're cool as shit and really comfortable too compared to regular Pumas.

Sat Mar 01, 2008 11:51 am

Looked for images of the Labs II in the internets:

They look quite good. :cool:

And Puma Suede:

^The Puma Suedes are probably the coolest shoes I own. Really close to the Adidas Superstars in terms of comfort imo.
