2. I really like woodwind/brass instruments, they're my favorite.

9. I used to play the trumpet.
10. I find it way too hard to identify my personality or take any of those personality tests because I am too all over the place.

Yeah... A few music ones. The trumpet one actually came up because I was listening to music with a trumpet solo and I was like "Oh, I used to play it, I'll put that!".

You won't like the photography thread if you don't like bugs!

You won't like the photography thread if you don't like bugs!  

Okay then. I'll have to take a note to avoid that topic completely!

However, it's more them touching me that bothers me. I'm okay watching from a distance, usually. It's just that when they touch me I freak out. The reasons I really dislike moths more than the others is because they swarm porch lights during warmer nights and they are so spazzy and end up touching me.

I'm fascinated by number 6. Do you mean a person's shoes, or just a person's bare feet?

1. I'm new here, hi folks.
2. I am an artist, and I spend a lot of time drawing portraits.
3. Seeing someone bite into a tomato like an apple is almost guaranteed to make me throw up.
4. I have OCD.
5. My favorite word is superluminal. But, just for today. I'm sure it will change by tomorrow.
6. I was born and raised in the United States, in a bilingual household.
7. I am a parent, but I do not have any biological children.
8. I have a very animated face. I have way more facial expressions than there are moods.
9. I am not very good at expressing tone through text. I tend to be a very literal and rational person, and I have noticed that it often comes across as cold or angry when people expect your reaction to be one of those things. However, I am a humanist at heart, and I am compassionate and loving almost to a fault.
10. I have really big green-blue-grey (who knows) eyes, and offline, they are always the first thing someone notices about me.

That's what smilies are for.

Some people may think they shouldn't need them, that their words are enough. 
Perhaps they should be but they often aren't.

1. I play the bassoon (You're awesome if you actually know what that is.  ).

Woodwind instrument in the bass-tenor range. Common in orchestral and chamber music styles.
Doesn't everyone know that?

If not, they do now.

Sure. After they look it up on Wikipedia, that is.

I was in band for a few years before I even realized myself (to be fair to myself, I was a trumpet player and at my middle school we only played in a brass ensemble for the first two years). Most people think it's an oboe or something. Otherwise it's just another low woodwind to them.

[xXxWashburnxXx]

I've played baritone, tuba, alto saxophone (poorly) and both acoustic and electric guitar. Not to say I was an expert at any of them.

I suck at anything music related.

[Tank]

I suck at anything music related.

Not as much as I do! There were two grades of exames when I was 15. GCSE and CSE. The poor performers in a particular subject did the CSE. I did a CSE in music and got an 'F'! I actually have a certificate that shows I have no musical competence whatsoever!
