You have to be really tough at UniLang or you could risk getting the crap kicked out of you, hence the "my name is earl" profile picture. Jk. I've been told most unilangers are gay, but that's not what "attracted" me to the site. It is seriously probably the coolest language site on the net. (I'm also heterosexual, for those who might have read into that wrong =)

Likes

Food

I like food when i'm hungry, otherwise i'm not a big food-lover.
Pizza. When i'm hungry at work i like Peppe's pizza with some soda (Pepsi Max or 7UP Free) and garlic dressing on one of these:
The Tropical, New Orleans, Rio Grande, Heavy Heaven, Big Shot and Deeper Love.
Hot dogs. When i'm hungry at home sometimes i like wienerpølser in a lompe, with american mustard, magerost, that brown søt-sennep, sprøstekt løk and potatismos (from sweden) if we've got it.
Steak and salad. When i'm hungry at a restaurant i usually order a good steak and a caesar salad.
Pop corn. When i'm hungry at night time and i'm going to watch a movie i usually am hungry for a bag of popcorn cooked in my microwave for 4 minutes and 10 seconds, so its a little burned. I usually drink Pepsi Max with that.
Cereal. When i'm hungry in the morning or late at night i usually like eating a good blend of cereal mixes like cruslix, some kelloggs bran flakes and cheerios (and sometimes with yoghurt on top). My favorite cereals are Corn Chex, Rice Chex and Corn Pops.
Juice. When i'm thirsty, a nice cold juice from Nora will really hit the spot. I usually drink drinks with lots of ice cubes.
Fruit. When i'm hungry for something healthy i usually like a good banana, or berries, mandarin oranges, kiwi, grapes or passion fruit.
Chips and nuts. When i'm hungry for some snacks i really like créme fraîche Sørlands Chips. I also really love pistachio nuts and those skinny pretzel sticks.
Candy/Sweets. I try not to eat a lot of candy, but when i'm at the movies i usually get rosa puter, orange crocodiles, mallorca blanding, skogsbær, sure cola flasker, sur frukt-teip. When i'm in the states i usually buy gushers, fruit roll ups, fruit by the foot, big hunk. And when i know i'm going to be at home watching a movie or something sometimes i like to enjoy bocca. When i really want to pamper myself i buy some Karen Volf Brownies and i put on some pampers for grown-ups and eat them.
Fast food. I don't think anybody makes a better burger than Tex Burger next to Hydro Texaco along the E18 highway in Oslo. I ate 2 large's once. Otherwise, when i'm in the states i like to eat a roast beef with cheese meal with curly fries at Arby's at least once. Occasionally i'll get a medium quarter pounder menu with fanta or sprite zero at McDonalds here in Norway (but always check to see if they get it right, i swear like 90% of the time they forget something if you order for more than one person or more than one menu, it doesn't matter which McDonalds you're at in Norway).
