And it's funny, I used to want to be a palaeontologist too! >w<
And maybe you're not asexual, just a kind, reasonable person who puts soul above exterior? >w< *has a hard time believing anyone to be asexual XD;;*

I did a little research about

I did a little research about it and found AVEN, and their description of what an asexual person is really fit how I feel.

For the longest, though, I just said I was "straight but not looking". Eye

Gotta love those trilobites and brachiopods in paleo, huh? XD

Oh and don't be surprised if I add more things in. I keep thinking of stuff Laughing out loud

I envy anyone who doesn't get snow in the winter! I'm from Chicago and we have the most brutal winters.

XD well in the same respect,

XD well in the same respect, you probably don't get 95-98 degree summers like we do. Plus our humidity is killer, you step outside and are instantly sweaty.

I loved the dry air in the western US when I went over there, so I plan to move that way once I get done with college here.

You seem very interesting!

You seem very interesting! ^^
I'll be studying Geology and Physical Geography in a years time XD Even though, don't geologists and geographers supposedly dislike each other or something? Maybe I made that up, but I'm sure I heard it somewhere lol.
I envy countries who get snow as well! We hardly ever get it... :c
I also like 30stm, and the one song I know from Shinedown I enjoy too =P

I don't know about geologists and geographers, but geologists don't like engineers for sure. Eye

I envy your Italian skills, even if it's just a little you speak. Could it be that you have Italian blood somewhere, the reason why you started learning the language? I'm a little Italian (ONLY A LITTLE) myself, and I'd really love to speak it. <3

Also, I first one I found with my bloodtype! (except for my dad)

Mhmm, my dad's side of the family is part Sicilian, so that's why I wanted to learn Italian. It was really fun (although near the end I had a tough time with it), and I plan to go to Italy one day to try it out XD.

Mia animali preferisci e cervi a capri. My favorite animals are deer and goats Eye

That's so cool! Italy is a

That's so cool! Italy is a beautiful country, I had the blessing of going there many times. One of my dad's favourite countries, he likes cycling in those mountains. I really hate mountainhiking, but that was probably because I did it a lot as a little kid... But! I adore the culture and beautiful buildings in, for example: Firenze, Lucca, Pisa and Milan (not knowing the English translations for those names). Rome is still on my list to visit sometimes.

I'm sure you'll have a great time there! Especially when the weather is good. Oh, you should really try out the delicious icecream. They have soooo many awesome flavours, if you find a good one that is.

One of my biggest dreams was to become a palaeontologist when I was a kid. Dinofangirlattack. -runs around with her ammonite fossile-
And a vet. Which would still be fun.

Murr Quammy if I could I'd send you one of my extra fossils XD. I have some really pretty ones, including a braciopod (clam) that recrystallized into pyrite (fool's gold). It's really gorgeous!

Augh sounds gorgeous! D: I've

Augh sounds gorgeous! D:
I've only got my little ammonite I bought few summers back. Haven't found any other fossiles being sold around here, would love some.
What fossiles you've got?
quadraptor's picture

All sorts of stuff - I love

All sorts of stuff - I love trilobites and brachiopods especially and have a few of them. I have several pieces of amber, a few of them have bugs in them. My best piece has a little fly in it.

I have a herbivore tooth but I can't remember what animal it is from. I have a big ammonite and a few small ones. I've got a cast of dinosaur skin that was left in mud and hardened. I have a lobster that looks a lot like that one there. Several fossil fish too.

At the moment that's everything I can think of off of the top of my head. But I have other stuff too Eye

Awh xD I know a guy that's born December 31th, and when he was young, his parents told him all the fireworks were to celebrate his birthday. xD he got mad the day he understood this wasn't the case, haha.
I think it's awesome that there are a few guys on this site, too :')
