hi Jetfox here this is not my first forum that i've been to.
forgive me for not using captial letters.

this forum is about obsesions.
seph: no s**t jet.
allen: what seph said.
jet: thanks guys. *sarcastic*
and get used to random characters talking along with me.

well anyways my main obsesion is FF7, pretty much everything about it.
infact i've got at least 500 ff7 related pictures on my computer most being of cloud and sephiroth, seph has a bigger folder (more pics) then cloud mostly cause he's more popular.
i do like cloud more though.
cloud: i knew it in your face allen!
allen: bastard.
also my second obsesion is ansem and the darkness.
what i love darkness infact so much that i usually keep my lights off at all times and i draw, read, play compy, watch tv, and do basicly everything else in the dark i try to keep the lights out at all times someone flicks my light on a flick it out imeadately.
mainly the darkness is comforting in a way that's why i like it also the light now burns my eyes because of being in the dark all the time.
and ansem is my master that will lead me into the darkness.
ansem: that's four times you've used the word darkness i'm such a good teacher.
that you are ansem.
if you don't like ansem please keep it to yourself i get really angry at ansem haters and i don't want to yell at anyone.

I don't even like to see things misspelled. They jump out at me, especially if it is in formal writing, and can make me lose track of what I am reading.

But these forums are informal so don't worry about it or feel inhibited because I might read something, let it flow. I may never come back again, you never know.

I don't actually even know if it would be classified as an obsession, it just happens. Has gotten me a few odd jobs as a proof reader. I look at a page and all the mistakes stand out. I don't enjoy or unenjoy it, sometimes, it is annoying. And I do have it under control enough to sometimes not proofread my own writing in forums. And still make mistakes so it doesn't help that much in rough drafts but handy in rewrites.

Out of curiousity, what is FF7? I really have no idea.

I keep things dark when it is naturally dark outside except for spot lighting but it is to save the damage electrical generation does.

In Viet Nam, there were rumors that some Rangers would stay in dark bunkers during the day for long periods of time so their visual purple would build up in their eyes. Visual purple is what helps you see at night. It is why it takes about 5 minutes to get used to the dark because the visual purple is building up. Most happens in 5 minutes but continues to build slowly for about 45 minutes. These guys would only come out at night and melt into the jungle.

Here is a generation gapism - from context, I can guess that rpg to you means role playing game (I have watched my kids doing those) but to me rpg means rocket propelled gernade.

Hints for good night vision. If you look directly at something in the dark, it appears to disappear. Best is to look 10-15 degrees off the center of what you want to look at, and fairly regularly move your focus from one side to the other. Takes only a little practice to make it automatic. Night vision uses different cues than day vision.

Eating carrots helps too :-) Seriously.

i mean role playing game.
i guess you won't know sephiroth, cloud, aeris, or the rest of the cast then.
i should have explained what ff7 meant i just thought that it was a popular enough game that i didn't need to.
shows how much i know.

No problem. We just have different frames of reference because of age difference. I am sure my younger kids would know immediately what you were talking about. I was the one who needed to have it explained. You are fine.

They jump out at me too, not that I never make them. Is that a double negative?

I thought rpg had something to do with color on a monitor but I guess I was wrong :roll: .

revolutions per gallon? How many times your wheels go around for every gallon of gas?

I make lots of mistakes when writing first pass. It seems easier to see others' mistakes than my own. Even in the publishing industry, after final editing, they have 3 proofreaders go over it, as each may miss something. Imperfection is a normal part of life.
