During a job interview, you want to keep eye contact with the person you're talking to. It makes you seem more alert and confident.
Here's the trick: every five or ten seconds switch the eye you're looking at. It's such a small motion that the other person can't see it, but it makes your eyes look like they're sparkling, which makes you look very interested in what the other person is saying.

And anything off Reroute to Remain reminds me of Halo 2... because I was forbidden from playing video games when it came out, but I had a small TV borrowed from a friend in my room (doing nothing, yet the parents never asked about it), hooked up the Xbox, and played Halo 2 in my room until I beat the campaign, with Reroute to Remain playing on repeat (no computer up there, and I didn't own many CD's) as a background noise and as a cover.

Clever. I always look just off the side of someone's head, eye contact is scary. :(

Whoracle was respectable, Colony and Clayman were good. I got my start on In Flames with Clayman.
I started with Jester Race, plus Dark Tranquillity is my favorite metal band, that should explain my dislike for anything beyond Clayman.

I can actually track my musical progression still.

Unnamed country and classic rock/oldies until I was, oh, 13?

My last interviewer was pretty cute, this was never a problem for me :D

Oh, yeah, that would explain things better. Me, I've never cared for Dark Tranquility.

Then I stumbled onto Disturbed. Either Down with the Sickness or Stupify.

After a few months, I went back to LP, and found it tame and boring.

So I went further!

I actually had felt, a couple years prior, that I would enjoy heavy metal, if I could just find heavy metal. The concept sounded cool.
