sigs and energy drink.

I dont smoke any garbage other then pallmall or van nelle. I wont even accept a free sig from any other brand. As they give me headaches and i just dont like any others.

Same goes for energy drink. Its only monster brand or i cant be bothered drinking any at all.

I got more like this. Venco honey liquerice. Wont touch any other brand of honey liquerice.

Same goes with my scotch its johnny gold or black all the way.

Same goes with my pc componements. Asus for a mainboard or i wont even touch it.

lol i can still go on. But i wont be bothered posting a long list.

Sound quality/video quality.
I can't stand it when people put 1024x768 on their LCD TV and then watch their movies all squished with bars on the top and bottom. When I ask them if they can notice that everything is squished, they say it looks normal and they can't tell. Then if I fix it for them, they swear that it's squished now.
Picture quality.
When working on group projects at school, I always try to go above and beyond to emphasize the meaning/concepts, which often makes me come off as snobbish, but it usually pays off.

the only thing I can thing of at the moment is steak. A shitty over cooked steak can really ruin a day.

I'd rather starve than eat food that is too greasy (atleast until I actually begin to starve.)

I can't think of anything I'm picky about. I'd make the best girlfriend ever... except I'd be an ugly girl.

Coffee and food. I'll go to a supermarket and eat some bread and cheese and eat it in my parking lot if my only option is some nasty chain like Olive Garden, Chilis or Outback.

I'm kind of an audio snob. I've spent more on headphones than most people do on mp3 players, and I have a bad habit of going into way more depth than people want when they ask about my mp3 player and headphones.

If you were a true audio snob you wouldn't be listening to mp3s.

Guitars. Can't stand to play a poorly made instrument. Also cookware. I'll throw a cheap frying pan out before trying to cook wit it.

Well given that most people don't spend that much on MP3 plays that doesn't tell us how much of an audio head you are. Have you spent say $800-$1000 or more on a set? Sennheiser 800s are about $1700 :eek:

Hey, you talking about my headphones? :D

Oh and I don't consider myself a snob in any respect, I'll make the most of a bad situation.

and now I have evolved. Or possibly devolved.

Computers are no longer a big thing to me. Cell phones are much more important. I need to have the good stuff and I can't stand knowing that there is something my phone can't do that another can. Then the expensive one: guns. Its not just the initial purchase. The ammo, magazines, sights all are things I can't go cheap on.

I am a Blu Ray / HD snob. I have spoiled myself to the core & refuse to watch anything in SD or DVD on a big screen tv. If it's a smaller non-HD tv, I'll tolerate the program / event for a bit, but would rather not. I often wonder how I ever watched anything in SD.
