Agreed, strangely enough I don't ever sit on this board and think s**t I'm lonely.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuump.

FGD'ers, how did we all come up with our usernames? Is yours just random like mine or does it mean something to you?

Well, mine's phonetic.
 
*smiles and nods because I have no clue what phonetic means*

Well, I could be wrong, but I believe, uh, diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.
 
I think the questions could do with a little tweaking. Replace 6, 10, 17, 18 and 20 I reckon. Here are some suggestions, not great but better than the current crop:
  • What has been your most challenging experience?
  • What is the furthest you have travelled from home?
  • What is your natural hair colour?
  • Do you have any favourite music?
  • Do you have a special talent / what are you best at?
Also fixed up some grammatical issues:
