Unless your parents are hard to deal with (which is possible, I've known many a family like that), this is really a matter of pride more than anything.

You don't have to be religious to see just how true "pride goeth before the fall" really is. It's really a universal statement, in all honesty.

If this could better your life for the long run, isn't it worth it to try and work with the situation?

Oh absolutely. I think moving out helped my parents back off a bit. It's definitely is, at the root of it, about pride and I am working with it it's not as bad as it was before I moved out.

I had to move back in while going back to school, and it's really tough - if I have to wake up to Pat freakin' Robertson shooting his mouth, and go to sleep to Glenn Beck's paranoid ravings one more time, I'm gonna scream.

sorry for the double post!

Fair enough. *points to sig* Even I'm not a fan of those two. However, it should be noted that it's still better than homelessness. Trust me, I know from experience that while the options aren't always pleasant, they're certainly better than homelessness.

You just might have to wear earmuffs or earplugs for a while.

Better than that - I got a white noise machine. So I can choose either soothing "ocean waves" or "desert rainburst" to drown them out. Aaahhhhhh...

Muahahahahahaha

I work for Coca-Cola, I have a Class-A CDL, and I volunteer with the youth at my church where I regularly introduce new generations to the happy world of Transformers G1.

I'm also happily married for over two years now, and my wife and I are currently trying to bring children into the world.


I'm also 30, and that kinda sucks.

Well... where are we gonna start?

I`m 14, making me one of the "younger" members here. I don`t own any Transformers figures - yet. I was rather more into the LEGO Theme "Bionicle", but it kind of ended this year, so i walked over to Transformers. LOVE the movies, LOVE the game, LOVE the fig - oh wait, i don`t have any... whatever, still LOVE them.

I am diffirent from my age bracket. Most from my class have a base IQ under 94, while mine is 138, maing me one of the "smarter" students. I am a thinker, who wonders about... well, things. Maybe i think a little too much... i went through a major depression from August 2009 through that year and some few months of this year. It mostly ment i cried a lot for myself, and was directly afraid of sleeping. But, luckily, i am over it now.

What more to say? Hm... no friends, never had a girlfriend, a little overweight... yeah, that would be me.

Oh, and the most shocking;























i like grapes

Lets see...

I'm 26, Going to college at Oklahoma State for Aerospace Engineering, I'm actually a double major with my second being World History,(with a focus in Ancient History).
I'll complete my Aerospace degree in 3 years and then move on to a maintence school so that I always have something to fall back on.

I've been swordfighting since I was 8 years old. I'm also quite good with a Chinese Long Spear. Also learning Thi Chi, Aikido, and Muay Thai. I'm a little over weight despite all this because I love to eat. Alot.

I'm a big gamer both in terms of electronic(xbox/PC/ect) and Tabletop(D&D/Battletech)

I'm someone who loves a good fight(Physically that is) but hates arguements, as I can never think of a good comeback or what to say.

I also watch alot of TV and movies my Dvd collection rivals that of my transformers.

I'm seriously giving thought to becoming a super villain so that I can fight these guys on the weekends.

Hell yeah! I wonder how many of them have actually broken up a gang fight, or been shot at? That Zetaman character seems like he may have the right Idea about it though.
Lvl II Tactical S.W.A.T armor and all.

I hold a nidan in karate and shodan in aikido.

Do you know Grady Lane?

I haven't been around the forums for most of the last year, but I guess you all know that.

My goal is to own a wind farm so I am currently working on new business starts so I can raise the money to do that.

I am 50 years old.

I used to compete in tough truck competitions.

I run conventions - starting some new ones currently.

I read Cosmo.

I am selling all of my Transformers.

Things about me-

34 years old

First TF was Bluestreak many moons ago.

I'm a photog/editor/live truck operator at a Portland, Oregon TV station.
(started working in TV news back in '98)

My son will be 2 years old on September 13th... scary.

Drummer, not a musician, a drummer.

I listen to Tool, Mastodon, or Gojira everyday.

As I've gotten older, I've developed a love/hate relationship for TFs.

Married nearly 4 years.

Beer snob, living in the Pacific Northwest will do that to a person.

Home owner... or homo nerd if you have a cold.

I identify more with the villian than the hero.

religion and politics are not for me.

Trying to quit smoking... again.

I don't trust people who smile all the time.

I hate the sun.

Finding Nemo is my favorite Pixar film.

I have rage issues - road rage, work rage, not finding Darkmount rage.

boobs are hypnotic and I do whatever they tell me to do.

Transformers are the only obsession of mine that've lasted longer than a few months
(past obsessions - Exo Squad, LOTR, Hulk, etc.)

I visit seibertron.com daily.

I love films but HATE going to the movies.

I've said too much.

Haha, that reminds me of a time at TFCON a couple of years ago. I was wearing this nerdy light up graphic equalizer T-Shirt and this guy was screaming at the equalizer trying to max out the bars. The mic was actually located by my hip but he didn't know that. A crowd was gathering till someone mentioned to him "you know you are screaming at her boobs". Everyone started laughing.
(I am definately not flat chested either)

The sad part is, that's probably something i'd do too.

I've been tattooing for the last 13 years all around the U.S. and a few countries like Bermuda and England. I specialize in neo-traditional and traditional designs. Also Anime and comic book designs. I love Watercolor painting (Spit shading is more like it.) Ummmm.....And Atlanta sporting events are something I attend regularly. Braves baseball and Falcons football games mostly. I love collecting toys (Marvel and TF classics/universe) I have a fondness for cats...dont know why. Just like em. Been playing guitar and drums for over 20 years. Love heavy music, blues, and old school rock and roll (KISS, Judas Priest ect.) Oh, and for some reason, I love the show "Frasier". I actually spend most evenings at home with my ol lady and out 2 cats. watching movies, playing PS3 and re-arranging the toy collection room haha. Yep. Pretty boring indeed.

okay,

i'm 13, so i'm probably one of the youngest on this site,

I have around 90 transformers, not a lot compared to some people, varying from g1 to movie to fansproject to masterpiece,

i have 2 horses, 2 ferrets, 2 dogs, 4 geese, 3 goats, etc...

Is your name Noah?..and is one of the goats gay?

I'm quite short tempered. One of my old teachers said I could scare the crap out of Ironhide at his pissiest mood ever when I'm at mine. I have a gift with transformers. Some of them, when I've never worked with them before, I can transform them instantly. My career ender was my sister's ROTF leader Jetfire. He took me 10 months to get the hang of. I am addicted to Lipton Green Tea with citrus. I want to make my own transformers movie. I've alredy stated the script for it.

Hmm... oh, I just could NOT pass this up!

Well, I enjoy cooking. I love to roadtrip to events. I do historical reenacting from Piracy to American Revolution. I have an awesome cat named Magellan who likes to take walks on a leash like a dog, and roadtrips as well. I make historical 18th c attire and now breaking into sci-fi costuming since I'm making my own Wraith Queen outfit, as well as run Wraith Never Ending network for Wraith cosplayers. I work at a local radio station as an announcer. Really enjoy steam engines and antiques. Just started transcribing historical letters for fun and research (which is very difficult if you have no clue how to write with a pen back then).

I'll toss out some stuff later on.
