Name: Aaron
Age: 21
Occupation: Data Centre/Telecommunications Stuff (I do Change Management)
Favourite colour: Ever changing - and recently green went from being my most hated colour to one of my favourites - but it has to be the right shade (a creative colour - not lime and not too dark, perhaps a foresty colour otherwise I detest. I used to really like blue - not so much anymore. So long story short - I really don't know anymore.
Married/Single/Kids: Single
Favourite Movie: I'm going to say Finding Nemo.
I love F1 because: I love attention to detail, and "extracting the maximum."
Most embarrassing moment: I just shudder. As a alluded to in another post - I had a "slightly" disadvantaged upbringing so did a lot of stupid things. But ones that come to mind - struggled to pick one:
- Up-skirting kindergarten girls in Grade 2 because I was looking at their belly button (honest), but could not find a way to explain that to the principal.
- Being sent to school in my sister's trackpants which were to big, and fell down quite a bit (grade 1 or 2).
- Other fashion disasters that my mum sent me to school in like the turtleneck skivvies, tracksuits up to my rib cage - and worst, on my mum's order, tucking in my jumper with my tracksuits going up to my ribcage. I was dressed like this every day until I hit high-school (and thank heavens - they forced us to wear ironed shirts, ties, and a belt). Despite teachers and other school kids "encouraging" me to dress normally (for fear of my life) I refused to listen to them because I feared a belting if mum knew that I was being disobedient.
- Just general spastic things that would come out of my mouth between the ages of 6 and 14. Like after 9/11 when I thought the world would explode. Due to some "circumstances," when we had to stay with friends for three months, they very quickly taught me what was "normal" and what was't. That three months was the best education of my life.
- More recently, at 17, asking out the first ever girl to be nice to me after only a few train trips. Put a lot of pressure on her, and well... it didn't eventuate how I planned.
- Or a lot of stupid basic things I had to learn when adjusting to working life - like do not record yourself singing karaoke, thinking you sound good, and distributing it around the office to all your workmates. *shudder*
Perhaps the most embarassing experience is recounting all of these embarassing experiences on forum with people I don't know - but then that's better than recounting it to people I do know. I'm now 21 and cleared of all insanity.
Beer or wine: I actually love whiskey. As that is not an option - beer works for me - I mostly drink Toohey's Extra Dry, but trying to get into some German beers.
TV show I have to watch: I used to watch Everybody Loves Raymond almost religously.
F1 fantasy teammates: Um... I'm not in F1 fantasy, however I can say that my favourite driver pairing right now would be Vettel and Kobayashi.
Fave circuits: Suzuka, Spa, Catalunya. (outside F1 - Mount Panorama, Aida, Nordschleiffe, Gold Coast) virtually - Trial Mountain, Deep Forest Raceway...
)
Circuits that should die: Bahrain, China, New-Hockenheim. (Special mention to Fuji - I know it's gone but I want a bulldozer to come and tear the bluddy thing up. Got bad memories from Gran Turismo..
)
Australian commercial breweries are s***. Aside from Coopers, micro breweries are where the quality is at.
