1) Many times, countless times. I just got hit the other day to be honest, my nose hurt and got sensitive for like two days. 2) A dog person. Dogs are better in every way. Besides, liking cats is kind of gay, sorry @Jason 3) I'm one of those people who can twist their tongue, genetics, bitch! I'm quite skillful with it, if you know what I mean

Whilst what you are saying is true, IMO a lot of people had this thought process: why are all these people doing that? And went on to investigate what the hell it was about. In the end I think the message gets spread even when they don't say a thing. I know what it is about even if none of the videos I've seen has said a word about it.

1) Law. It mostly sucks, but a few subjects are interesting. 2) I guess there are hot girls everywhere. I'm not sure we have it more than anyone else. Maybe if you're really into butts we could have an advantage 3) Taste-wise I'd say beer. If I just wanted to get drunk really fast, cachaça or vodka. Music? Mostly rock - pop rock, alternative rock, indie rock, progressive rock, hard rock... any rock really. I also absolutely love MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), which is a derivative of Bossa Nova, it's the best thing ever. I enjoy reggae too. 4) Yes. 5) The people. It's the thing I like the most and the one I dislike the most at the same time. I like how outgoing and relaxed, how welcoming, friendly and compassionate about other individuals we can be, even to strangers. At the same time brazilian people also have their downsides but that's for another question. I have a love and hate relationship with my culture. 6) Challenge accepted. 7) If I would take? I think so. Do you want me to do it, record and upload it here? I will if the people I nominate will do the same. My opinion about it is that its purpose has been deviated. But maybe it was for the best, one could say that a lot of these people participating didn't or won't donate anything, however the social phenomena that it has become has probably spread the campaign further than it would ever have otherwise. Hence reaching a broader spectrum of people who may or may not donate after seeing those videos. If only the people who intended to donate had done it maybe it wouldn't have become this big of a thing, maybe it has got more donations this way after all.

Not sure... I always thought Lescott and Tevez (when he was here) looked hideous.
-
Is it? Is it because lying takes a heavier mental process just so as does speaking a second language? The effort would be such that one would feel discouraged to lie, or that would be my hunch anyways.

I'll often think in English. Sometimes I'll think about a word in English and forget its equivalent in Portuguese when talking to people in Portuguese. I'm not saying I turn into a sociopath when I read and speak in English, the connection is simply stronger in Portuguese. I was still devastated when Dobby sacrificed himself to save Harry :<

I always thought it was about the emotional baggage, which I think is related to what you're talking about. If I read more books in English and as a result start associating the words to the emotions increasingly, someday it will become natural. The only books I've ever read in English were the two last Harry Potter books because I couldn't wait for the Brazilian translation. I'll probably read the next books of A Song of Ice and Fire and The Kingkiller Chronicle in English too. I don't go to other forums, but I used to a few year ago. It was a forum for the fans of the 4 biggest teams in São Paulo. The banter there was unreal, fun as hell. It would be like if we shared a forum with Spurs and Arsenal, imagine how crazy that would be.

It's hard to single out one thing. I could probably write an entire book about every little awesome thing she did and about every little reason why she was incredible. I just liked everything about her. I thought she was smart, she was funny, she was pretty and she just had this energy... I don't know how to explain it. Being around her was the best thing ever, intoxicating even. Whenever we met we would just smile for like 15 minutes straight for no reason at all. She also had this artistic side which I found fascinating, she liked drawing and showed me her drawing notebook. I took her to an art expo and she would analyze the pictures and I would go I suck so bad at arts. She also had an eye for landscapes, she would always notice beautiful stuff when we were going out, she was something else. In addition to everything I couldn't figure her out, I couldn't completely understand her motivations for the things she did which also would drag me into her as the curious person I am. She was kinda mysterious to me. After all this time I still don't understand what was going on. We speak less and less these days and when we do is mostly small talk.

I don't have any tattoo. I've had a regular earring and two on the upper side of my ear though.

1) I can play football, volleyball, basketball, tennis and table tennis. And chess if you consider it a sport. Oh, and I used to play this variation of cricket when I was a child. From all of those I'm probably better at table tennis followed by football and tennis. I used to have a table at home and I would play endlessly. Sometimes my friends would come to sleep over and we would start playing at afternoon or at night and would go until the next day morning. 2) I used to follow tennis when I played regularly. And F1 when the brazilians in it didn't suck. 3) I prefer reading in portuguese if I'm being honest. The words don't have the same effect as in your mother tongue imo. There's more of an emotional closeness if I read stuff in portuguese. Example: hatred/grudge are the equivalent of the portuguese word "ódio" but I can just feel the emotion better if I read it in portuguese. Even though I know what hatred and grudge means it doesn't strike me as much as in portuguese. I don't know how to explain it better. 4) N64 5) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Best game ever. 6) You! don't ban me Alex. But others are awesome in their own ways too. I consider Spike and Rmpr good friends of mine. There are also Alex and Jason, people who seem to be here all the time since forever, and I've been noticing Special Juan and Fullham Broadway are very good staff members too. There are still Shonex and others but I don't see them posting too often. 7) Watching movies, watching football, playing games, playing football, going to restaurants, hanging with friends, reading talkchelsea. 8) Maybe three? Love is such a strong word. 9) Barbecue, lasagna... some brazilian dishes like feijoada, feijão tropeiro, tutu de feijão, tacacá, tapioca, açaí. I also absolutely love "farofa" - manioc flour fried in butter. 10) Indeed, HAHAHA. ps: I had to edit my post because it had more emoticons than the forum allows! LMAO.

Not as the holding one. I like to think I have a good positioning and tactical awareness but my tackling is meh. HAHAHAHAHAHAH. THIS. SO MUCH THIS. HAHAHAHA. You see?! That's precisely why I voted you as the funniest member.

1) No, I didn't. You should say it more often so I don't forget 2) I really have no idea. My life plans are a bit messed up and uncertain right now. 3) It's been a while since I've last read some book for fun. I could be mistaken but I guess the last one was The Wise Man's Fear from Patrick Rothfuss - a delicious read. The way he writes... it feels like you're eating a dessert when you're reading. Yea, I'd recommend it. You guys should read it, especially the fans of the fantasy genre. 4) Favourite movie... this one is really tough. Probably The Shawshank Redemption. The movie has a bit of it all and it's very inspiring. Also, Stephen King - 'nuff said. 5) No I haven't. I've watched Meet Joe Black a couple times last year or the one prior. 6) We will. 7) It was a gradual process. My friends had started to watch the Premier League and so did I to be able to talk to them about it. And I don't know exactly what caught my attention first but I just started to like a certain blue team a lot, I liked their jersey, their badge with its lion, their players and I gradually became more and more emotionally invested in that team. The moment that team lost a certain final match in the UCL and I became sad and angry as fuck was the moment I realized definitely that I had became a fan, even if I had been watching them for some years already. I've probably been from the very beginning though. 8) I think bar any injury in one or more of our key players, we're going to win EPL and make it to the semis in UCL at the very least. Any minor trophy would be welcomed too but I think we should be aiming big this season. You could say I'm optimistic. 9) Euhm... this is complicated. It's like... I prefer the butt, but I could accept a small butt, however, I can't accept a flat chest or really, really small boobs. The woman would be looking like a boy, ugh. But once the minimum threshold has been achieved, butt all the way. 10) Shades of gray. There are very few things, if any, that could or should be treated in an absolute and polarized manner. 11) She enters the place and sits down. I'm talking loudly to my brother in the public phone giving him advices about his girlfriend. Then I hang up and go sit next to her. She makes a remark about my conversation and we go from there. HAHAHAHA. No, seriously - what I'd like more than anything is just to be able to connect to the person effortlessly. The rest is meaningless. If we're able to make a conversation about interesting stuff flow, if we challenge each other intellectually on top of being mutually physically attracted, that's the most interesting aspect no matter where we are or any other circumstances. 12) A man crush? There are a few males I find attractive but if I had to choose one it would be young Jude Law (before balding). Dude was smoking hot. 13) I've swum naked at the beach at 3:00 A.M to impress a girl. I did other crazy stuff but this was one of the most recent. I'll probably still do a lot of other silly stuff in my life. 14) I think you did! 15) Not yet. 16) Two. Or three... definitely three. 17) I still haven't decided. Sometimes I think I want to, other times I think I don't. What I think is going to happen is me and my wife will travel a lot and then when we're tired of everything else we'll have kids. If we don't ever get tired we won't, hahaha. 18) Ain't studying/practicing much right now. I took a quick glance at Le Monde website today though. 19) Dogs. Dogs! DOGS! 20) I don't think so, that's my place and I'm selfish 21)

My casual night dressing is usually somewhat like this (except for the sunglasses): You should dress accordingly, I really don't know anything about how women should dress.
-
Wait, why isn't this Hotseat 13?
-
Emma Stone. Especially with dark brown hair as in zombieland
-
Not particularly. Except by my mom. She pretty much complains about everything about me when I come to visit her, the way I dress, the way my hair looks or its length, the amount of times I drink water, the way I smell, the amount of times I brush my teeth, if I'm dating someone she complains about her etc. 1- It depends, where are we going in our first date? If we're going grab a "lanche" (snack) where you went to eat a few days ago I'll go casually (t-shirt and jeans) and so will you. The only thing I insist on is that you must display a ponytail. 2- I'm going to sing Tanto - Skank (it's a brazilian adaption from I want you - Bob Dylan, if anyone is wondering). 3- Chitãozinho e Chororó - Fio de Cabelo. 4- No! 5- Of course! 6- I love you too. No, I don't love you. Whoopsies. I'm in love with another. And yes we can.
-
What, wait this was too fast.

You could :eyebrows:
-
Hopefully somewhere dealing with his transfer move. One can dream.
-
I didn't because my hotseat wouldn't hold a candle to yours and the others I just wonder how come Stingray has not been chosen already.
-
HAHAHAHA, don't you have to volunteer? Can they force me ?
-
It was just a temporary/casual work. They were hosting this conference - GCF, http://www.gcftaskforce.org - fuck my life this spacing - and didn't have enough fluent english speakers to deal with all the foreigners so they hired me. I'm in law school.

He was not even responsible for that. Unfortunately Mata and KDB weren't playing well when they were sold. Whilst I think we could have given KDB more chances because he's another young player who could still potentially change his gameplay significantly and be important for us, Mata will probably never put a decent defensive shift and unfortunately he's no Messi or Ronaldo to be excused from contributing to the team, when the matches get very physical even his offensive contribution suffers a lot and he becomes a huge liability in both ends. And I loved Mata. If Oscar had started last season badly and one of Mata or KDB did well it maybe wouldn't have happened. They can only blame themselves. And in the end the money from Mata and KDB helped us improving areas where we lacked quality more - pivot and striker.

This has got to be the winner, no doubt. How can he even do that face? Some top notch talent right there.
