Nice one. I'm such a nosey cow. I sat reading these for ages the other night when it was re-bumped and I bet I'm not the only nebby sod so get posting :joker:

I'm Zee, real name Greg, you may know me for running Most Loved or doing the most work out of all of the moderating team. I'm 19 years old and I'm from Aberdeen. I just finished 2nd year of a German degree at the University of Glasgow - which means at the end of August I'll be moving to Germany for a year as part of my degree. I'll be working in a classroom somewhere as an English assistant, which absolutely terrifies me and I don't really want to go if I'm quite honest, partly because they give you next to no details and leave you to sort everything out by yourself at the last possible minute and I HATE leaving things to the last minute, I need to know what I'm doing well in advance of something and they're just trolling the hell out of me. Banter sponge. After that I've got two years of honours to complete and then I'll hopefully graduate with a degree that enables me to do regular person things like get a job and learn how to cartwheel.

I've had weight problems since I was about 9 years old and have finally decided to tackle them properly by joining a gym and eating healthily, I'm the sort of person that needs to steam ahead with an idea right away otherwise it'll fizzle out in the planning stages, so I'm pleased that I've kept up the good work thus far. I have a younger brother and an older half brother, my parents are still together and we have a pet cat who has one eye. I think I'm 5'11"; both my brothers tower over me which annoys me so much. My favourite TV programs are Green Wing, Family Guy and LOST - otherwise I don't really watch TV save for the X Factor if it's good. I've been single for nearly 3 and a half years, relationships are important to me, I take them very seriously and so I suppose I have high standards in the sense I'm looking for a certain type of personality, but I don't really have a type in terms of looks, but thinking about it, the few people I've had a thing with have all had dark hair and dark eyes so I guess that's my preference... I'm really shy when it comes to that sort of thing, I never approach people.

I have black hair, greeny-yellow eyes, "pouty lips", my legs are really hairy, I have tiny hands and feet (yet size 9 shoes, but my toes look so tiny, they're like afterthoughts pmsl) but I have a gigantic weird shaped head, my ears are huge and I sometimes think life is taking the piss out of me. I don't think I have much of an accent. I've been best friends with my best friend since we were 12 years old, we met on the first day of secondary school, were in the same form class and all the same classes and have been joint at the hip ever since, we lived in halls together in 1st year of uni and shared a flat over 2nd year, we're so close, he knows all about TiBB and has even played online games with some TiBB members haha. I don't believe in giving people second chances because I think I'm an extremely tolerant, laid back person and if someone has managed to upset/anger me, I know there's no point in forgiving them because I'll never get over it. I'm terrible for bursting into tears when I'm upset whenever I'm alone, I'm actually pathetic :laugh2: but I don't think there's any shame in it. I'm still a virgin, which my friends on here regularly make fun of, but like I said, I take relationships seriously and wouldn't just throw myself at anyone, I'm a very reserved, thoughtful person, so I'm not going to compromise my integrity by doing something I don't want to do.

I've started blogging recently too, I might share the link on here sometime in the near future once I've racked up a few more blog posts, I intend to keep it going throughout my year abroad so my friends can read all about how much I'm hating it and the variety of awkward interactions I suffer through when I'm in Germany. :hugesmile:

Cool read Greg, I think you have an exciting life (I think Ive said that before somewhere), and good luck in Germany!!!

Thank you Jords :hugesmile: I'll still be on here as ever (unless I can't get internet - a thought that terrifies me more than anything else - I can deal with it being crap so long as I can keep in contact with everyone!) so it should be fine!

*Adores Zee* :love:

Though I nearly Pee'd -

:laugh2:

:D Best way to deal with problems you can't fix is to joke about them - I've often thought about dressing up as an elf at Christmas, and donating my skull to science fiction films after I die for use in alien costumes. :hugesmile:

My legs are hairy as **** too and I have even smaller feet at size 7/8 :love:

I have hairy hobbit feet, they're actually just a total prank on me from the rest of my body. It's like my skull bullied my ankles in primary school and took all of its growth hormones away. PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND US KG :bawling:

:laugh3:

Hair is where it's at yo.

Joey(Joseph) Steele, 19, home is Worcester-shire,currently away at Uni, I am 5' 11'' tall,11 stone in weight and shoe size 9, I have 3 older Brothers, the next one to me is 10 years older than I am.All are married,with 12 children between them so that's maybe why I will stay single :hugesmile:.

I hope to either be a Politician or Lawyer in the future, I try to be a fair person but find some people really annoy me so I need to avoid them as I hate confrontation,( I guess I have chosen odd professions if I don't like confrontation).

I am not a materialistic person and love chatting to people and learning from their experiences of life, young and old.I like to think I am approachable and willing to help anyone if I can.
I am of full Irish ancestry on my Mother's side and full Scottish ancestry on my Father's side but was born in England.

My favourite colour is Blue, my favourite food is in the main vegetarian but I will eat meat if with Friends or Family so not a vegetarian, I love Chinese and Italian food.
I rarely drink alcohol,(I get ribbed loads for that), when I do as long as it's Whiskey based I am happy.
Reality programmes are the things I like to watch on TV and important sport events,I love Football,supporting Birmingham and Manchester Utd.
I am crazy about music and set out to hear as many songs that were hits from the start of the charts. My favourite song keeps changing all the time but overall the one I keep coming back to is 'Love will Tear us apart' by 'Joy Division'.My all time favourite group is 'Oasis'.

I am rather sensitive and also a bit of a boring guy, I am not too adventurous and no way a daredevil, I like Swimming,Running and not as much as I used to but playing Tennis too.

I have a wide taste of Films, mainly Horror,but I find I laugh more at Horror films than Comedies,I am history mad and have an obsession with Mary Queen of Scots,my heroine from History,I'd have fought to the death for her, no problem.
I love really old films too, an actress from the past that I love watching is Bette Davis.

As to phobias, one I am well over but as a child I was terrified of Santa Claus,the very idea of him scared me rotten. Now my phobias are Moths and Daddy-long-legs,I freeze if a Daddy long-legs is in the same room as me.

A great fault of mine as you will have noticed, is I go on too long with explanations or comments, I get into trouble al the time for that, It has been said of me that my analysis/comments/explanations are like someone being in Manchester and needing to get to London but they travel to London from Manchester via the Highlands of Scotland.

On that note ,I think I better stop now.

I’m Jords, or Jordan, I’m 16 (turning 17 on the 23rd) and I live in Lincolnshire. I’ve moved house twice but never moved outside my little town of Spalding and for a long time was quite fond of it, however I am looking forward to moving out when I’m older to a livelier place. It might be a nice idea to return when I retire.

My favourite colours are green, orange and blue. I love animals and have had a variety of pets from your usual dogs and cats to the more wacky parrots and reptiles, namely a tortoise called Rix which I’m sort of infamous for. My hobby is music; Ive only recently started searching for artists that are not so mainstream in order to broaden my taste. But I really love it and it’s a great way to chill. Indie bands, female vocalists and electronic music are my favourites. Ive always wanted to play the saxophone also, and maybe one day I’ll achieve this. Song-writing is something that I have dipped in and out of trying too, just for fun.

I don’t know much about myself, and that really annoys me. I don’t truly know who I am or what I want to do yet. I seek friends and parties, but at the same time can be shy and hold back and invest much time on my own. It takes a while to really get to know me, and I’ve had plenty of issues with trust with people that I now tend to keep a lot to myself. For a long time at my school I found it difficult to make friends, I made a best friend in year 8 who I still am to this day, and a small group of friends but they were more similar with each other than me. Now at sixth from I’m less socially awkward and have made many more, but I still sometimes feel like I’m odd compared to everybody else and that people would rather make friends with somebody else than me. Oh and I hate arrogant people; I just simply cannot bare it.
I’m definitely a family man, but unfortunately mine has been very unstable at times, but I still love them.

I have a lot of issues with my appearance, especially being on the chubby side. Ive started to diet and exercise more, and believe I’ll be much happier with myself if I slim down. Although I can poke fun at myself for being a fatty bum bum, I don’t want to be any longer :tongue:
I’m not keen on my voice all that much, and absolutely cannot stand reading out aloud in front of the class. I get nervous for no reason by it and my voice shakes making me feel stoopid.

Id like to go to uni when I’m older, but I’m not totally sure if that will work out, but if I do I think teaching is a future career Id like to go into. ‘Forces of Nature’ was on BBC1 (product placement ;)) the other night, and it really made me want to go on an adventure, and perhaps tour the world a bit when I’m older. I'd love to see a lot more of what’s out there, and visit each continent. I may be going to Germany with a few mates this summer, which would be exciting times!

Overall I’m a happy guy thats loves reality TV is always being inspired and I wrote this in Word because my typo-abilty is the shizzle lulz

:D

Its nice to know a bit more about you Joey, I love horrors too :love:
LOL at you being scared of Santa!

Thank you Jords,I was terrified of him, I wouldn't go anywhere near him in the grotto's,if he spoke to me I pleaded with my Mum to get me away from him, I didn't want him bringing my presents,I said why does he have to come in, can we not just pick them up,

The last Christmas eve, before my Mum said it's okay son he doesn't come, I asked if the doors could be locked and nothing open at all to let him in but an older Brother said,if he finds everywhere locked it doesn't matter he has loads of little elves that travel with him and they come through the keyholes or under the doors to open them for him.

I was terrified, I couldn't sleep on Christmas eve for all the wrong reasons.:joker::joker:

I have no idea where this fear of him came from,maybe it was the loud 'ho ho ho's', or his beard but I really was scared of all about him.
Looking back now,I see how daft that sounds, but at the time I dreaded Christmas coming.
I also really enjoyed reading the insight to yourself too.

You from Dudley? :P

Ok, my names Matt, I'm 17 (18 in 2 months :amazed:) and live in a tiny village in the South West. Lived here all my life and I do love the place even if it can be boring as hell, hopefully I'll be able to drive soon so wont always be relying on lifts to go to places. I'd quite happily stay here for another year or two but gotta leave sometime I guess and since it would be pointless for me to take a gap year, I'm going to Uni in September. I'm Supposed to be doing English & History, but might try and change that to straight History or History and Politics, those are the two subjects I'm most interested in, I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to those two actually :p

I have quite a wide circle of friends now but there's only a few who I'd really consider close friends. We have quite a big friend group of about 15 guys and 6 or 7 girls but out of those there's probably only about 5 that I feel comfortable having a one on one conversation with. I'm a bit weird about that actually, I'm often worried if it is just a one on one conversation that the other person doesnt really find me interesting to talk to and get awkward or something like that :laugh: I'm a lot more confident than I was before I went into sixth form, and I've got to know a lot more people, I think I got on well with basically everyone in my year with a couple of exceptions. I used to get into quite a lot of trouble especially in year 11 and they tried to stop me going into sixth form because of it but the last two years have been a lot better with no problems. I think I'm probably pretty different in real life to how I am on here, in real life I'm a bit weird but I like to think in a good way, I'm always quite happy to laugh at myself as well, and I'm pretty cheerful most of the time.

I'm quite a lazy person really, I can spend a lot of time doing nothing at all, but I dont really intend to change that, I like being lazy. I do socialise a fair bit though, and go out on weekends more than I used to. I still try and play a bit of sport but gave up football this year, gave up tennis the year before and gave up golf 3 years ago. The only one I really play now is cricket just for the village team and that's just more to have a laugh than play seriously, I play darts for the local pub as well but went through a period of playing complete sh*t last season. I'm convinced I had dartitis but everyone else said I was just crap. I watch a lot more sport than I play, I'm a big West Ham fan, and a big Denver Broncos fan in American Football, it's one of my goals to get over to Denver to watch a game sometime, I was lucky to get to see them at Wembley last year but I'd still love to see them on their home turf. I've been to Colorado a couple of times but not to the city, we've gone skiing there, that's another of my favourite sports, been quite a few times.

Umm cant think of much more to add, I like to read a lot, and I've started watching a lot of films recently when I realised that I'd basically seen none of the really huge films. I like spending time on my own, my parents are away for a week atm and so I've got the house completely to my house which is great. I'm not much of a family man tbh, I dont mind spending time with close family, basically my parents and brother, but I hate it when you go to these big family gatherings and you have to try and mingle with all your Grannie's cousin's son or whatever. My cousins getting married in August so that's going to be one of those events, not looking forward to that at all. Apart from that it should be a good summer though, spending a week in Zante with some mates, and a lot of the people in our year from school are going to, then going on cricket tour and might be going to away to Portugal with my parents as well.

Cant think of much else to say so I'll leave it there I guess, didnt think I'd type so much :laugh:

Jords and MTVN,it was really good to learn a bit more about you both from your posts,There are so many areas where I can relate to you both in them.

Zee has as ever made me think about a lot of things from his post, he always makes me think about things.
Jords,I relate to you being nervous speaking in front of people,I am okay if I am doing it as part of a team assignment but if I have to speak on my own in front of everyone I am extremely nervous, sometimes my hands shake but somehow I am able to control the vocal side so it's not noticeable.

MTVN, oh gosh, yes big family occasions,I love my family dearly and love to see them but I do hate the really big occasions that you describe.
Again at New Year and Christmas, you used to have to see 'all' the Aunts,Uncles and Cousins and at New Year all the Aunts stood in line (bizarrely and ridiculously) and the male members of the family had to go and kiss each one on the cheek wishing them a Happy New Year.I stopped that nonsense at 15 though.

As I said it was nice to learn a bit about you all,I find it hard (usually) talking about myself. I can be very solitary and need my own space a lot,people say,(close friends of mine too), that I am a warm person but few feel they really know me or get to know me properly or that I allow people to get to know me,maybe that's something I need to work on as to myself.

You

This guest shall be tracking one of you down very soon.

:evilgrin:

Awwww I missed a couple of these. Gonna read through

As for the Santa thing, I too hated him. Well, the dress up blokes. Same with any 'character' though. If anyone had taken me to Disney World I'm not sure I'd ever be seen again......

I'm James, but don't call me James please. I'm 19 years old and study music composition, hopefully putting out some of my music near the end of this year. I think I've left it really late but I think it's definately a confidence thing more than a creativity thing because I have hundreds of ideas written down but never get round to turning it into a piece. I also do other creative outlets including artsy stuff (picking up sculpting again next year) and writing Abaddon (seriously, you'd be suprised how much I plan it. I have like 4 seasons of ideas and one reader <3)

As for my personality, I'm the type who laughs silently. I'm horrificly difficult to get to know because I generally keep a closed book about myself (ironic, considering the thread I'm posting in) and I don't talk to people I don't think I'll ever get along with. I'm cynical and kind at the same time, which is an odd combination because it makes me seem hostile when I'm really not. I'm shockingly sensitive and really, hate being insulted, even if it's a joke I'll take it to heart. I spend a ridiculous amount of time thinking and nothing good really comes out of it. I hate losing, but I'm not a sore loser if I felt the other person/team deserved it.

I give up on friendships with girls. The amount of female friends I've had who've ditched me because they're bored of me is astonishing. Guys are less drama and more fun, even if I don't care about football or don't own a PS3 so I can't contribute to a good amount of their conversations. My friendship circle has about 20 people so I know how to get things I want in a larger group of people.

I've learned to love the way I look. I have odd hair, a big nose, uneven ears and a square jaw, but it's all part of what defines me.

So essentially I am: Cynical, Independant, Tactless, Sensitive, Caring, Quite Serious, Creative and Shy guy who hates losing. A really, really odd combination.

I'm pleased to learn that Kerry,(not that you were scared of or hated Santa but that someone else was), I haven't come across anyone I know who was scared of him other than me.
So glad I wasn't alone there.

Meant to add to that I also really like Bolton Wanderers F.C. and also that 2 of my Brothers wives had new Babies on the 8th and 9th June respectively so they now have 14 children between the 3 of them. I don't think somehow they need me adding to that in the future.

James :love:

I'm Cara and I'm almost 16 (most people think I'm older aha) and I live near London in Hertfordshire. I'm half Scottish and half Irish, yet I've lived in England all my life so I have an English accent. I'm currently taking my GCSEs and my option subjects are Art, Textiles, ICT and Business Studies. When I'm older, I want to be a photographic or music journalist as photoraphy and music are my main passions and I love English so it would be dream to combine the three as a career. :)

I'm really interested in music, it's probably my favourite thing in the world. I'm not one to judge a song by the genre, I'll happily listen to anything before I decide my opinion. My favourite band in the world is 30 Seconds To Mars, I love the way they always portray a strong message in their music videos and songs and I look up to Jared Leto as he's done so many amazing things, such as working with children in Haiti and becoming Straight Edge to focus on his career. Their music means the world to me and when I went through a hard time last year, I met the band and it made me so happy because they were the most lovely bunch of guys. My favourite genres are alternative rock, post-hardcore and pop punk but I love artists like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry too as well as some grime music and rap. I used to play the drums and saxophone as well. I'm also very interested in English Literature, I'm a bit of a secret Shakespeare geek and I love reading plays and books.

I have extremely low self esteem, due to the fact I have been bullied since Year 4 due to the fact that I am quite quiet and I used to make no effort with my appearance and didn't really like the same things as the other kids. For about two years I didn't have any friends and for alot of the rest of the time I was getting bullied, I only had one or two. I don't get it so anymore but it still happens occasionally which sucks because I've changed alot and gained alot of confidence since it started. But I'm happy with my friends and couldn't hope for better ones so it's all good I guess. :)

-hugs Cara-

-grinds Greg-
