Posted 14 June 2016 - 04:53 AM

Hi, I'm not sure whether or not I introduced myself originally when I joined (I'm sure this is something I could look up easily, I'll head that direction next), but as I am attempting to be more active in the community and find a sense of place, I figured I could give this a go again! 

 

I originally joined at the request of Tauriel after meeting her in a guild a two or so years back. I've always found that Codex has a much more welcoming feel and better quality people. 

 

For the sake of the assumption that I may one day complete the Newbie Scavenger Hunt, I will share some facts :p

 

1. I accidentally talked to a member of One Direction because of my job. Famous people don't seem real but apparently aren't quite aliens (as far as I  know) or cardboard cut-outs. 

2. I have an addiction to Nike Frees. 

3. I've been having dreams about my boss lately and that's a weird thing I can't get over. 

4. Music is one of the most important parts of my life. I love to listen to new music, go to concerts, and hear people be passionate about the bands and artists they love. 

5. I believe that long distance relationships can work out and lead to a successful long term relationship. 

6. I'm chronically bad at finishing television shows when I start them. 

7. I want to travel abroad more than anything else and haven't managed to do so yet. 

8. I love to read and am always open for new suggestions. 

 

 

I think that should do for now. I tried to think about some things I don't necessarily always share. Tell me about you. Help me transition into becoming active here. I truly respect everyone here very much and would love to learn and grow. 

 

I almost feel like I just wrote a job application. Weird. :)

 

Goodnight/morning! 

 

(Also I feel as if it is worth it to mention that I love Harry Potter and will accept any kinship in regard to this fact :p)

    No one needs to know anything. I know nothing :) 

     

    I figured that I may as well say something other than hey whats up hello. I should have been Zayn. 

     

    hey what's up, it's been a while

    talking 'bout it's not my style

     

    Mostly kidding. Nice to meet you Bones/Philip :) What is your favorite thing in the world?

    I just went and looked and there you are! Skype also tells me we have very close birthdates and that I missed yours. qq

    Interestingly I don't actually like chocolate at all :p 

     

    Sensible sounds terribly boring. But growing up seems to have that effect. What do you currently have vs what you currently want vs what you should get?

    Hello! I absolutely must know which member of One Direction you talked to, I used to have a minor obsession. And I'm the same concerning TV shows, I find it so hard to watch them week after week, binge watching is more my style. Are you all aboard on the GoT hypetrain?

    Thank you for the welcome! I lurk a lot more than I should but everyone seems like good people for the most part. I feel like I should actively give myself a chance :p

    Ironically it was Louis! My little sister was addicted to them for years and so when I talked to him I didn't realize who he was until about halfway through the conversation. So surreal. 

     

    I really have wanted to finish reading GoT before watching but I'm tempted to give in *_* What shows do you like/have you binged?

    Hello, welcome back to Codex, hope you enjoy your stay.

    This is actually really cool, which person from 1D did you talk to? And what did you think of them?

    Nike Frees are pretty dope although I'm personally an adidas kind of guy. What's your favourite colourware?

    I've only been to a handful of concerts myself, it's definitely something that I should make an effort to do more often. Who was your favourite artist to see?

    I'm bad at finishing shows too, eventually I just get bored of it unless I binge because can forget what happens in the show. Especially in seasons that are 22 - 24 episodes long.

    Travelling seems like it's on a lot of people's lists. The world just seems too small to stay put eh. So far I've only been in the Americas but hopefully that will change. Really want to explore Europe

    I love my mini to death but boy oh boy its hard to drive long distances.  The Mrs keeps wanting me to get a 4x4 or estate, which I can kinda see where she is coming from but then my heart jumps in and says Noooooo dont you will hate it.

    I talked to Louis! He was actually really nice but also seemed very beaten down in regard to answering his phone? I can't imagine being that famous. 

     

    Adidas, interesting :o Are we talking yeezy's or? As far as the Nike Frees, I like the 4.0's best and have red, coral, green, black and white/coral at the moment :p 

     

    Favorite artist to see... I think that probably A Day to Remember/All Time Low/Pierce The Veil & Good Charlotte put on the best and most interactive shows. Maybe 30 Seconds to Mars? 

     

    I kind of like shows with a lot to watch but sometimes I just lose interest. What shows have you made it through/do you recommend? 

     

    I also want to explore Europe! I feel like the clock is kind of ticking on that and if I want to, now is the time :o

    I also hear its hard with minis for maintenance? Ahah stick with your heart. I know a lot of car guys and know how passionate they are. I like the look of the BMW & Mini best. Not a huge fan of the Audi but I know a lot who swear by them. What does the Mrs drive? :p

    As for bands I love:

     

    Mumford & Sons, Cold play, Snow Patrol, Blink 182, Haime,  I could go on and on.  Its one of the best things about the internet IMO that you can listen to new bands so easily these days.  I have just got into using Soundcloud (I know im slow gimme a break :p) and love the fact I can see so many artists that I have never heard of get recommended for me.

    For whatever reason I can't get down with the shape. I have a 2015 Mazda 3 :o 

     

    Blink 182 and Snow Patrol are some of my favorite all time bands. I use Spotify and each week they make you a playlist of 3 hours of songs they think you'll like based on your other music you listen to. I love having access to so much music and new artists. If nothing else, the evolution and availability of music has been one of the most incredible parts of my adult life.

    I really love mine. Especially the more recent model's shape. So lovely, I almost feel like a car person. My family all swear by Honda's however :p 

     

    I love finding new artists like that! Any standouts?

    Oooh lucky you! He seems to have a very interesting personality from what I've seen. Did you get all starstruck once you realized?

     

    Finish reading it first, then watch all the episodes right from the beginning! Seems like the best course to take unless you don't mind waiting for GRRM to finish his series. I binge watched Scrubs and The Office, sadly don't have more time for other series.

    Yea same here, so I don't really blame Zayn for leaving even though I expected him to be out of the spotlight for longer. Guess some people are just made for the attention.

    No Yeezy's for me, I don't get the hype. Plus the chance of actually coping them from the store and not from a reseller is crazy low. We have a hard enough time getting Ultra Boosts or NMDs here in Canada. Adidas has been doing a lot of collabs lately so I've got a paie with Undefeated and another one with Bape (Superstars). That sounds like a prettier sweet collection, lots of choices for different outfits.

    Oh hey, Jared Leto, it's really cool that he's an actor as well and that he takes his roles serious. Heard he wanted to be referred to as Mr J while filming for Suicide Squad.

    Hmm. Shows with only 1 season so far that I liked were Mr. ROBOT, Sense8 and Jessica Jones. Although they're all kind of slow starting. The Flash is kind of fun - there's nothing they won't touch in that universe. Although I'm more of a DC fan so I may be a bit biased. What kind of shows do you like to watch?

    Why do you feel like the clock is ticking? Because you'll soon have adult responsibilities such as work and less vacation time?

    Welcome back mate :) I had to take a quick look at username history too but I certainly remember seeing you around :)

    I too have a 2015 Mazda 3! Love everything about it. What colour is yours? Sedan or Hatch? Mines a hatch (5 door) in Snowflake White Pearl. I have a list of mods that I'm going to end up adding to it at a later date. First one will be a Corksport exhaust system for that nicer note then some better rims and get it lowered xD

    I wouldn't say starstruck necessarily? It was more of a weird feeling. It's hard to associate famous people with being real people. It's a strange phenomena. I don't think I'd ever want to be famous. Rich? Sure. Famous, nah.

     

    That's what I'm thinking. All though I'll probably need to re-read because it's been awhile since I read the first few and I want to refresh my memory. I love The Office but have never watched it all the way through. I rewatch Grey's Anatomy over and over, along with Friends!

    I feel like its the first impressions (even if they're new first impressions) that really matter.

     

    I will prob look back at this thread months later and be embarrassed by myself! PS nice to meet you :)

    Why do you feel like the clock is ticking? Because you'll soon have adult responsibilities such as work and less vacation time?

     

    I feel like Zayn didn't necessarily want to be out of the spotlight, he just wanted to be more in control of his spotlight? From what I've heard, One Direction is very very highly monitored and only allowed to do certain things and act certain ways based on their contracts. He never quite accepted that control so I'm glad he got out.

     

    I haven't worn Adidas since like, 8th grade. But I would consider it again. I never understood the Yeezy hype either although if I did get my hands on some, I would probably resell them tbh.

     

    I'm stoked for Suicide Squad. Jared Leto is pretty intense and I hear he played a pretty sick Joker. Mr. J. That's hilarious. He's an interesting guy, did you ever hear about/watch his documentary on his experience with the music industry?

     

    I have heard good things about Sense8! And The Flash too but I've never watched any of those. I like a variety of shows -- The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, Criminal Minds, Quantico, Friends, The Bachelor/ette (guilty pleasure), Law & Order, House, etc. I would give anything a try probably.

     

    I mean, I don't know. I'm 26 now, I'm only getting older. I work full time and will be graduating school soon (although I'll probably stick it out and get my masters), and I just feel like it wouldn't be a very responsible thing to do at this stage in my life? Maybe that's warped thinking.

     

     

    wooohoo welcome to Codex ~ is it nice to be outta the shadows I wonder?

     

    Thank you for the welcome! I do enjoy being out of the shadows! Although tbh for a good portion of this two years I was not present at all. After a poor experience with other cheating sites, I longed for better :p Nice to meet you!

    Mate? Are you Australian? Please say yes haha. & yeah, I changed my username just based on it being kind of a fluke and kind of personally identifying :p

     

    I have a Meteor Grey Sedan! I really never got behind the look of the hatchback but it seems to have quite a bit of popularity. What influenced your decision in that direction? I'm never really added any mods to a car but prior to this I never really owned a car I actually like!

     

    I just followed up with your profile! Definitely Australian, very pleased. Where in AU are you? And how old are your sons? :) Nice to meet you!
