Don't worry so much about what other people think; most people are so busy thinking about themselves they rarely pay much attention to anyone else.

Do you have a talent people may not know about?
Um... not that I can think of

Have you ever walked out of a movie theater because a movie was really bad?
Yes.

How did you come up with your user name?
End of my last name, plus my biggest job :) And '2' because I used 'skimom' when I was first on the forum, took a break, and when I came back couldn't remember my password. The original account was linked to an old e-mail, so no help with retrieval=new account :D

Morgan Freeman :) I was 4 or 5, and he was dangerously attractive as the vampire on The Electric Company.

Impoliteness

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be more outgoing. People often think I'm stuck up, when I'm just shy (until I get to know people).

What section(s) of the forum do you visit the most?
Hot Topics, TV and Chattery Teeth.

Have you ever been in a fight?
No, though I have sparred.

Do you have a guilty pleasure?
The Big Bang Theory. I don't watch it all the time, but it is entertaining.

What's the last sporting event you've been to?
WWE Monday Night Raw over a year ago.

Do you go on any other message boards?
Reddit to debate stuff like feminism. It's not a good place to speak your mind, so I'm probably going to quit soon.

Were you ever so into a book, that you binge read it because you couldn't put it down?
Only once. When I read the Death of WCW(wrestling boo). I was into it because it was a part of wrestling I experienced and I wanted to see the author's take on it.

If you could go back in time and give a piece of advice to yourself as a teenager, what would you say?
Get out more. Video games and all that is cool, but you need more interesting people in your life.

Do you have a talent people may not know about?
I'm a decent public speaker. I gave a speech at a family function and people still talk to me about it.

Have you ever walked out of a movie theater because a movie was really bad?
No, though I almost did when I saw 'Kung Pao! Enter the Fist'. That movie was awful...

How did you come up with your user name?
I was reading A Game of Thrones and I wanted to pay homage to one of the characters and I found this hilarious pic. I thought taking the name Lord Tyrion was funny to go with that pic.

Who was the first person you had a crush on? Do you know anything about them today?
A girl from middle school. I told one of my friends I liked her and she told her, but the feeling wasn't mutual. We were around each other up into adulthood, but we were never good friends. She was popular and I was more of a dork, but she was always friendly. Last I heard from her was that she was working in the entertainment business as an administrator a few years back.

What's your biggest pet peeve?
People who talk during a movie.

If there was one thing you could improve about your personality, what would it be?
Not to be so shy. I have the same problem with people thinking I'm stuck up.

What section(s) of the forum do you visit the most? What are you reading?

Have you ever been in a fight? Unfortunately, a few.

Do you have a guilty pleasure? Not sure. I don't think so.


What's the last sporting event you've been to? My son's taekwondo tournament.

Do you go on any other message boards? Negative.

Were you ever so into a book, that you binge read it because you couldn't put it down? Numerous times. I read Cujo when I was ten years old over the course of about ten hours without even looking up. Also read Misery and The Dead Zone straight through without a break. A few of The Dark Tower books I also binge read.

If you could go back in time and give a piece of advice to yourself as a teenager, what would you say? First, a good firm slap to the face to make sure I had his full, undivided attention. Then we'd have a talk about what kind of career path to take and what kind of lifestyle to stay away from.

Do you have a talent people may not know about? I'm not a bad shot with a rifle. Not as good as I once was, but still not a slouch.

Have you ever walked out of a movie theater because a movie was really bad? Yes. My wife and I walked out of Congo. Right after the boulders the killer gorillas threw into the water started floating on the surface of the water. That was pretty much the last straw in a long list of straws in that movie.

How did you come up with your user name? Ghost is what the guys in my division used to call me because I'm a bit sneaky and tend to come up behind people before they realize I'm there. 19 is a tribute to Mr. King. Hence, ghost19.

Who was the first person you had a crush on? Do you know anything about them today? A girl named Misty I went to junior high school with. I never worked up the nerve to ask her out. No idea where she is now. Wrote and tore up probably 25 or 30 letters to her to try and ask her out but just couldn't do it. I was NOT the cool kid in school.

What's your biggest pet peeve? My wife's backseat driving..lol Twenty years and she still does it no matter how much I tell her not to. Side note, I have no tickets or accidents on my record at all the whole time we've been married...

If there was one thing you could improve about your personality, what would it be? I wish I didn't see the onion in everything. Sometimes I wish I could just take things at face value.

Do you have a talent people may not know about? Reiki

Hey, Ms. Spidey!

I think I told you one of my bestest friends did Reiki on Philip several times. He found it very soothing and would ask for her when he was feeling especially bad. (Physically, emotionally and all around cruddy.)

Peace.
