Well... hi. I might as well make an introduction, as I am still pretty new here. NOTE: If you don't like reading, you might want to take a rain check on reading this one, because this is going to be very long(might as well do it right, eh?) ^-^ So.. Ok, not THAT long! Who am I? Hi, my name is Benjamin. I am 19 years old and will be 20 on April 15th. My hobbies include: Sports Gaming Eating c: Programming/coding(for nubs) Biking Rock climbing Hanging out with friends Fighting with my siblings XD (playfully, of course) Self-taught martial arts <.< >.> no judge Camping Designing Carving Piano Guitar Violin Helping people ^-^ I am, for the most part, a pretty laid-back person. I may from time to time, argue with people for no apparent reason, but.. it's probably because, I'm bored. lol In-case it isn't obvious, I am a very emotional person, and I don't like being messed with. You may call me a sissy, or tell me to "man-up" but, I won't, so.. go away. ^-^ If there every is anything someone needs, I am the kind of person who will help them... it's just who I am. My sensitivity/emotional-ness is due to psychological pain I received as a child. But, this isn't a "complain about my life" thread, so... I won't make it one. if you want to know about me in a more personal way, just PM me... I always love to talk. In my spare time, I usually either: play Minecraft, or work on my programming/coding skills(as bad as they are) - practice makes perfect, right? I occasionally do volunteer work and like helping people when I can. I am easily fatigued and can't spend much time outside/in the heat, so... volunteering has to be mostly indoors or in a cold state. In-case you're wondering WHY I am easily fatigued, it's because... when I was younger, I used to get very serious migraines, that would often hospitalize me. These migraines were usually the cause of why I couldn't do a lot of things. I actually have them to thank, because.. when I DID get migraines, I would have to be somewhere extremely quiet, because even the quietest and softest of sounds would hurt my head so badly; these quiet times, gave me time to develop a keen sense of hearing(if I can say that), as it gave me the skill to learn how to play piano, just by hearing the notes. That skill with piano, I learned, branched out to just about any instrument. Now, am I a Picasso with the trombone? No. But, I am able to play basic notes on just about any instrument I have ever tried. I am currently living with grandparents in Florida and working. I did a year of college, because my entire family told me to. I tried it, and it just wasn't for me. Nothing I looked into, interested me, and college as just burning a whole in my pocket of money I didn't have. So, I decided to take a break and see what I want to do, later. For right now, I'm working, and loving it. The people are nice, and I get paid to be nice to people! It's a win-win. My boss is a cool guy, and he has tolerated me, even when I did some, not-so-good things. But, we get along pretty OK, and so do my co-workers. I lived for 15 years in Lithuania, Europe. We are missionaries there. I left at age 18, because that's when we leave the house and come back to the States for school(college). I have eight brothers and one sister). We were all home-schooled for most our lives. The only time we weren't home-schooled is when we were visiting America to raise support for our work in Lithuania. Personally, I thank God that we are home-schooled; the public school system is trash, and frankly... I don't care for it, it only ruined me(and my mind). Living in another country gave me the ability to learn another language-Lithuanian. So, that's pretty fun to know/speak, because only around 3.5 million people do. o.o If you want a demonstration, here: Mano vardas Benjaminas, ir as myliu tave. There really isn't too much to tell about me. If you want to know anything, please, just ask. Interesting facts about me: This is just a little funny spoiler to tell you a couple things about me, that you may not know, or even imagine I can do/have done/will do. I use WAY too many emoticons. ^-^ XD o.o O_O (= I have broken both my arms and legs, twice. I cracked my skull twice, by jumping off of a jungle gym, like an idiot. >.> As I stated in my "Who am I?" spoiler, I can play just about any instrument, just by hearing. I spend money, oh so recklessly quiet, you(yes, you). I am extremely thought-ful. By this, I mean: I think about things extremely in-depthly and I like to evaluate situations to the fullest extent. WHY? It's fun. ^-^ I can understand people, a lot more then they think I can. I am able to put myself in someone else's shoes and experience what they are, it's a gift and I don't regret having it. This "gift" is also one of the reasons I love every single human on earth. "EVEN THE BAD PEOPLE?????" Yes, especially the bad people, because they are most likely only bad because they were hurt too. I don't mean it in a weird way.. love does NOT have to be sexual, despite what some people try to get me to believe. That's all the "interesting" things I can think of about myself. If there are any I forgot, let me know. My Skyblock life: Skyblock was the first online server I ever played. I started playing Skyblock around January 18(I believe), shortly before I joined the forums, and just before the forums wipe. When I came in, there was a lot of chaos because people were freaking out about the forums, and people were talking about a developer-gone-crazy, who was destroying the forums and would come for the servers next. As I was new to all this, I kinda just ignored it. lol I just continued playing with my cousin(the one who introduced me to Skyblock*Cyp kisses my cousins feet* ). Soon into playing, I found out about donors ranks/kits and I immediately wanted to get one. So, I bought donor10, then 25, then 50(FLY!!!!). I was like fan-girl-ing at /fly. Soon after getting fly, I made a BAD choice-to grief. I went around surrounding islands and looted all the "good-stuff" I could find. Did I know it was bad, yes... did I do it anyway, yes.... but, then I paid the price. A little annoying mod named AppleGuyPro jk jk he's knows ilh banned me for griefing/looting and told me to appeal on the forums. So, I did, and I aced the appeal like a boss jk... I realized just how stupid I was, and never greifed again. After that, I continued as a fair and honest player, and soon bought donor100. It was AWESOME, we had so many cool perms and I felt like da king. Then it kinda skyrocketed from there. I got Skygod son after, then sometimes passed and I found out about Donor400 and bought it(when Cyp finally answered me -.-). I then went on to upgrade many people, then I got into .ORG. I soon was an OL and had a lot of fun collecting rares. HB didn't interest me until a month, or so, ago. I play it occasionally, but not often. Cool people: I know this an introduction thread, but... I want to talk about a few people that have always been the most amazing to me. krissy_punk: I met her like the first few days/weeks of playing and we have been friends ever since. She was very nice to me in the beginning and gave me lots of help and advice about the server. I even remember stealing her stone gen design, but failing to recreate it. XD She is a far more amazing person then she gives herself credit for, and I try to tell her that whenever we talk. You're an amazing person and you will forever be one I can call "friend." AppleGuyPro: We met a couple months after I started playing, and we started a server together. It wasn't much, but it was fun. As annoying as he is, I will always consider him a friend. Zach: Keep up the good work with your trombone/baritone lessons. ^-^ @StrayanPenguin(Also known as: Macklemore257, Penguin, Hawtie[wait, wut? o.o], Levi, MooPenguin): He let me join his island, even though I was a noob. ^-^ We had a lot of fun together, and even built a massive storage unit that holds around 4 million blocks. After a while, I left his island to join Apple's and left him with a lot of gold, iron, and diamonds. : > But, das ok... ilh anyway. :* Levi: You're a cool guy and an amazing artist... I'll never forget the good times we had. There are a lot of people I had the privilege of meeting, like: Angel, Noveh, kurai, Misty, Jennie, theBullFrog44, Taylor, larrrryyyyyy, Roblox, nunyabz, Gracie, Pein, NarRawr, Keeper, Dew, Kerahna(wish I could know you more (=)... these are just to name a few. I enjoyed meeting everyone! Well... that's it, thanks for reading! Craft~ p.s. sorry if it sounded like an "I'm quitting" thread XD
