Other people's looks matter, I don't have to look at myself very often... did that sound too self centered?

My lego, it still is.
18. WHAT CLASS IN SCHOOL DO YOU THINK IS TOTALLY USELESS?
Well, I haven't had much use for most things I've learned, but that doesn't mean they're useless. But probably the least useful classes I've had were the first two years' high school English classes, but I got perfect grades so I won't complain.
Several of the classes I've taken here in Japan were little more than a repetition of what I learned in high school, so I think those too would count as pretty useless, except they gave me the credits I needed to get my certificate of completion without having to spoil my year with an overly large amount of studies, so I'll count them as useful.

No, of course not.

Who? Me? Never.
21. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
No

pofo and a few ones I won't mention. But usually I'm just Pontus.
