Ick. I don't claim to be a full-blown ichthyologist. I mean it in the literal sense- Someone who studies fish. I have fish tanks. I have research books. I study my fish. I study how they move, how they behave, how/when they eat, what happens if I increase the pH, decrease the temperature- not enough to kill the fishlings, of course. But still. I consider myself an ichthyologist.
Lol, when I posted, I didn't think the ichthyologist thing would be what I got the most dissenting posts about.

Yeah, I did mean what kind of music you listen to. You sound really rad, but I'mn a total rock snob, so thats prettymuch the first question I ask everybody.

Hm. Well, I don't so much like genres as I like particular bands/groups/singers. I like a lot of classic rock, and I'm a huge musical theatre geek. The only thing I don't like is country. There's maybe 2 and a half country songs I like.

Nice to meet you... I agree, you have only had bad beer. I would suggest you not grab my cigar or pipe... something else would be stomped most likely.
The parts per million of second hand smoke it would take to give you cancer is far less than what you expose yourself to around your car. Get serious. |

Yeah, but that doesn't mean I like people smoking around me. It makes me cough, irritates my eyes, and plus it's just gross. And as long as you're in a public place outside your cigarette's safe, but when you're smoking in a specifically no-smoking zone... it's not.
And I get to choose to expose myself to car smoke, which probably doesn't have half the amount of shit a cigarette does. Or at least different shit. But if you want to kill yourself with the rat poison in cigarettes, it doesn't mean you need to do it around me. Soapboxsoapboxsoapbox. Okay, I'm done. But... seeing as how we're only connected by a computer screen so your evil evil second-hand smoke can't actually get me... we're good.

An icthyologist is someone who is paid to study fish*.
Currently you are either a hobbyist, fancier, or have an avocation. * be-bop, I knew this without looking it up, because I read Jaws when I was in Junior High School and briefly wanted to be one.

Ick, I can't STAND Rent, cause the basic premise is something along the lines of "Hey, we try as hard as we can to all be different in the same way, so we should get a free house!"
But I LOVE Angel. S/he is the coolest character in the whole movie. By a long shot. All the rest suck.

Ah, being paid has nothing to do with the definition.
Geez, why is this such an argument?

Ah, I'm such a Renthead. Mostly on principle. But te music's amazing... And the whole premise of them being starving artists who generally suck at what they do. But the movie sucked. Go see the actual show. It's tons better.
I would totally marry Angel. But Collins owns me. So. And I would totally do Anthony Rapp if he weren't gay.

I tried very hard to enjoy RENT. But all I could think of was the opening number from Team America: World Police.
I also don't do well with people that are that self-absorbed.
