I think I would take abuse of that ability in an entirely different way *ahem* in the first place, but I'm sure that when you get the hang of it, you'll try all sorts of different stuff.

I haven't really got a schedule, but I did read some stuff about lucid dreams years ago and I figured I should be able to do it, too.

This is very cool to me. I don't necessarily do this with colors, but I do get very specific feelings from the energy of each song, often that have nothing to do with the lyrics. I just make up my own stories. Do you have synesthesia, by any chance, though? The color thing kind of sounds like it, and that's mega-interesting to look into if you've not already!

I agree with all of this! My plans are to move to Romania, actually. Teaching myself Romanian is pretty rough, though.

Do you ever have any of those awkward problems when you know you're dreaming but you're still having a horrible nightmare, and no matter where you go, the bad things from the dream follow you? That's an issue I've had with it in the past.

I find all of the above insanely cool. The ability to play multiple instruments and speak multiple languages in particular. I just speak English, very poor Spanish, very very poor French, and am learning Romanian (with piss poor results.)

THIS. YES. Typewriters are my favorite method of writing.

I'm currently trying to learn. Used to just "wish" I could played, then thought I was completely inept...I believe "guitarded" was the term I used to describe it. But now I can actually play some songs and such, never having taken lessons or anything, and I've only been playing about 7 months or so. I really believe that anyone can do it if they put time into it. If you're more coordinated than I am, you'd probably be able to be way better than I am right now in a fairly short period of time.

All of these! Except I'm just terrified to sing in front of people. It is much better when I'm playing guitar, but that's still my issue with the whole singin' thing. Also, 5 is my lucky number!

I'm just a person who can learn a language pretty easily. I go on holiday and within a week I'm fluent to the point I don't have to use English if I don't want to do so.

What exactly counts as synesthesia? I definitely am imagining/feeling colors and shapes when I listen to music, but it seems more like a daydream than anything else. Sometimes I also go straight into a memory or even some imaginary scenario if it fits with the music. More than visual stuff, though, I definitely feel music to an incredible extent. Just yesterday I was walking around pissed off that it was cold. I was playing Black Mountain and wasn't too familiar with the album, and a song came on that just immediately lifted my mood...drugs don't even work that good haha.

I used to practice lucid dreaming. I actually got the hang of it for a while, but I got out of practice. I actually pay attention to my dreams a lot...if I have an intense dream that sticks with me throughout the day, more often than not it means something in real life will happen that is related to it.

hmmm shall i try this again?

1) I have four scars on my left hand that i can make into the shape of an A, which is awesome because of my name :-)

2) I don't play video games for more than a few hours, but i can watch a video playthrough of a game all day

3) Along with that, I only play my console games for a few hours on average, but if an internet flash game is challenging and intriguing enough, i'll play it for days in a row

4) And with that, i once spent two weeks straight trying to beat this flash game

5) I STILL haven't been to a big name concert.

6) I haven't gotten a new album (bought or downloaded) in over a month. I really need to get new music.

7) Jersey Shore is a guilty pleasure of mine

8) I wish to travel to Canada someday, not because of the weather or any monuments/landmarks, but because the people there seem really cool

9) Still haven't kissed a girl yet, just turned 20 back in October

10) I'm really scattered when it comes to doing things, so mutlitasking is something that comes easy for me/something i prefer, actually

11) For my finals that i took recently, the longest time it took me to finish one was 35 minutes

12) The shortest time it took me to finish one was 10. Technically 25, but the teacher was 15 minutes late.

13) I don't know whether those last 2 are good or bad.

14) I recently found out that I have a younger brother from another mother and due to some unforeseen circumstances, he may end up living with my family. If this were to happen, I wouldn't exactly know how to approach this. :/

15) Last year I switched majors from architecture to psychology. Most people i tell that they're confused that i would switch to something so different.

16) Leaving architecture was probably one of the best decisions i have ever made in my life and even if psychology doesn't pan out, i have no regrets :-)

17) I wear plastic framed glasses because whenever i had metal framed ones they would leave bad cuts and scars on my face.

18) A close family member recently asked me to help them do something that was part of an issue i originally opposed, and helping them made me realize that i don't believe in my original viewpoint as much as i thought i did.

19) I'm developing a bald spot just past my forehead. It's not too noticable now, but in 10 years it will be.

20) And I'm fine with that.

21) I don't get how people are so sad about getting older and miss the "good old days" of highschool/middle school. Then again, i personally hated highschool
and middle school, so that may be the reason

22) I've been having an increasing number of premonitions in my sleep for the last few weeks.

23) I get really touchy-feely when i get drunk/stoned, and not just with people.

24) Up until the beginning of this semester, i didn't know what it felt like to be in love with someone.

25) Now i'm finding out how much of a ball-buster love can be :[
