You know what two staples of my diet are? Melted cheese, and hamburger. I don't eat either everyday, ('cause, you know, I don't wanna develop health problems.) but when I'm young and still have a fast metabolism, I enjoy anything made of melted cheese and/or hamburger: Macaroni and Cheese, Hamburger Helper, any of the cheeseburgers from In N Out, four cheese Rice-a-Roni, beef burritos with cheese, the list goes ever on. It's something that gets me, high. Like a kite.
I'm skinny, but not overly skinny. I have very little muscle mass. When I was younger, I had even less muscle mass. Back in elementary school, I was occasionally mistaken for a girl. ("WHAT KIND OF GIRL USES THE BOYS' ROOM!!!!!!???!?!?!?" Say it like my homeboy E.E.) However, my lack of pronounced mammaries means I don't get mistaken as such anymore. My hands are lithe, and almost feminine. I think that comes from playing videogames for most of my life. Though they lack the strength of, say, my older brother's hands, (Which are ginormous) my hands and fingers are quite dexterous, and can pull off maneuvers that dazzle the eye.
My eyes are bluish-green. I also live in America, so people usually stand in awe of my "pretty" eyes. However, I never really found blue or green or any combination of the two to be an attractive eye color. When I look in the mirror, I see a boy with rather ordinary eyes. No, I'm not loathing myself. It's just the way I feel. And yet, for some odd reasons, I can't ignore girls with a certain shade of brown for their eye color. (Not too light, not too dark, but somewhere in the middle.) If you're a lady and your eyes are pure brown and the right shade, a part of me will feel faint. Why, I don't know why, it just happens. I also like pitch black eyes, too. And yet, people in my family think I'm crazy for believing this. Can't we all just be colorblind?
OH! One last thing before I go! I discovered something really awesome you can do when you're reading scholarly texts!
This is for all you Death Note fans out there who, like me, aren't dub haters either. When you read a passage detailing something in an impartial manner, read the passage, in L's English voice. It's so funny, man! Before the end of the spring semester, I researched something on the internet, and I came across a scholarly text, and I imagined L reading it aloud, and it just nearly killed me! Here, I'll provide an example. Not last semester, but sometime last year, I wrote an essay about the abolition of slavery movement in 19th century America. I came across some scholarly texts. Observe:
"The American Anti-Slavery Society was established in 1833, but abolitionist sentiment antedated the republic. For example, the charter of Georgia prohibited slavery, and many of its settlers fought a losing battle against allowing it in the colony, Before independence, Quakers, most black Christians, and other religious groups argued that slavery was incompatible with Christ's teaching. Moreover, a number of revolutionaries saw the glaring contradiction between demanding freedom for themselves while holding slaves. Although the economic center of slavery was in the South, northerners also held slaves, as did African Americans and Native Americans. Moreover, some southerners opposed slavery. Blacks were in the vanguard of the anti-slavery movement. Abolitionist literature began to appear about 1820. Until the Civil War, the anti-slavery press produced a steadily growing stream of newspapers, periodicals, sermons, children's publications, speeches, abolitionist society reports, broadsides, and memoirs of former slaves."

Read that passage in L's voice. It's so funny, because most of the time, he talks like he's reciting from a textbook! Is it no surprise he's also my favorite character from Death Note?
