Trainman1405 In Real Life: You Asked, I Answered

By / September 4, 2012


As you may recall, in the middle of August I had you ask me whatever you want. It took some time, but I have now finished typing up the answers to everything I was asked. Without further ado, I present to you the completed response to every question. If you want to quickly look for yours, on a Windows computer hit Ctrl & F and type your name to find it on the page, or if you’re on a Mac hit ⌘ (command) & F.

Bloxxerman asked: What about giving us a glimpse of your room? Or garden? ;-) Just hiding any street names or anything like that!
Trainman1405: Alright, well I know you’re British so garden means backyard to you, but to Americans like me it’s just a patch where you grow food, flowers, etc. But here’s everything. :P I apologise for the messy room (it’s usually clean!) and the low quality pictures. (hopefully one day Apple improves the built in camera…)

Walking into my bedroom:

Full view of my bed area and bookshelves:

Other side of my room (laying in bed, this is what I see)

This is our garden – where tomatoes and peppers or something like that are growing. It was raining so I just went up to the window for the picture, hence my reflection.

As for my full backyard, (the whole British garden) our property line ends where the grass is taller than the rest – after that, someone else owns that land. Again, sorry about my full body reflection. :p

Here’s a much nicer picture of the backyard area, back when I used Instagram and it was snowing I took this picture.

Toogood asked: What do you like about Club Penguin?
Trainman1405: I just overall find the game very fun, aside from all the annoying game bugs that keep popping up. The graphics are fun, they update constantly, and the ideas are original.

Toogood asked: Who is your best friend on twitter?
Trainman1405: That’s a hard one, I talk to too many people on Twitter. Everyone? :P

Toogood asked: When did you join twitter and cp?
Trainman1405: My original Twitter account (@Skater1405) was made in early July 2008. I joined Club Penguin on August 4th, 2006.

Toogood asked: Did you play any other vw’s before and after?
Trainman1405: Before Club Penguin I didn’t really use the internet. After joining Club Penguin, over the years I have tried out Minimonos, Tinkatolli, Planet Cazmo, and Poptropica. I do not regularly play them.

Toogood asked: Who inspired you to blog?
Trainman1405: The penguin that is currently penguin of the week, Dale Jr Is 1, is who inspired me to make my first Club Penguin Website – him and 8stoplight8 along with Bo13245. (neither of these people play) Tech163 and Loki Terry inspired me to switch to WordPress.

Toogood asked: Who would you say was your idol?
Trainman1405: I can’t pinpoint it to a certain person – everyone who I’ve met over the years has helped shaped me to be who I am in some sort of way.

Azeemsky asked: What are your favorite subject(s) and why, and what percentage (grade) do you get in it?
Trainman1405: My favourite subjects are history and science. I love learning about the past and science is interesting too. I usually get 90-100% in history and my science grade is usually a B. I am starting to like English/Language Arts more, too.

Firedino123 asked: What is your fave month of the year? Also what is your fave season?
Trainman1405: My favourite month is probably October because the leaves are turning red/orange/brown and the temperature isn’t too hot or too cold. Fall is my favourite season.

Deanz101 asked: Hey, Trainman1405. I’m just wondering, how did you get so good at everything you do whether it’s blogging or finding new exclusives for us?
Trainman1405: I’ve been slightly helped along the way, but a lot of it is just hours of practice, dedication, sleuthing, and trying out new things. I often think outside of the box.

Cooldude229 asked: How much do you play Club Penguin in a week?
Trainman1405: Several hours. Most of that time comes from posting the in game updates. Other time towards that is for playing games to obtain coins and go on for a party I’m invited to or hosting.

Magicguy216 asked: What’s your Religion?
Trainman1405: I am Catholic.

Denis asked: Where do you find the unrealesed items and exclusives?
Trainman1405: They are in files on Club Penguin’s website. I just browse through them from time to time.

Ninjaoninja2 asked: What Inspired you to keep going with your blog did you finnally say yep this is the one for me?
Trainman1405: Nice question! I just enjoyed web work and toyed with two other websites of mine before creating the original Club Penguin Memories. Its popularity made me realise that I found a good idea and I’ve since stuck with it for nearly five years now.

Jjoeyxx asked: Do you have or used to have any pets?
Trainman1405: Yes, I’ve got a dog (Sheltie) named Ginger.

Jjoeyxx asked: What year of school are you in?
Trainman1405: I am going to start my eleventh year of school soon.

Jjoeyxx asked: Will you ever quit CP (I won’t ever) and if you would then when?
Trainman1405: I don’t have plans to quit Club Penguin, since one day I’d love to work for their support team. (hey, next June I’ll be the minimum required age of 18!)

Amy 19987 asked: Do you watch SpongeBob, Phineas and Ferb, Or Gravity Falls?
Trainman1405: I watch Spongebob from time to time, sometimes Phineas and Ferb, and I have never watched Gravity Falls.

Green Ninja asked: What are your favorite TV shows?
Trainman1405: I am not a huge television watcher but I like cartoons such as Spongebob and Regular Show and I also like shows such as Gold Rush, New Girl, Last Man Standing, and The Walking Dead.

Boby49109 asked: If this is not too personal, what’s your real name?
Trainman1405: My real name is Devin.

Boby49109 asked: Umm does your brother play club penguin?
Trainman1405: My brother (Graser10) does, and my other brother (I O Thats It) used to but quit in 2010.

Phineas99 asked: Trainman, how did you discover Club Penguin?
Trainman1405: A friend of mine (Dale Jr Is 1) showed me it when I was at his house.

Phineas99 asked: Which is your favorite party in the past years, including this year, and what is your favorite party of ALL time you went on CP?
Trainman1405: I thought the Rockhopper Quest was pretty fun. My favourite all time party is probably the Fall Fair or Halloween Party. Both are great. :)

Phineas99 asked: Do you miss some of the old features Club Penguin has? Is so, what are they? PSA, Sport Shops, old parties (Water Party)?
Trainman1405: Old parties such as the Water Party and Summer Party were definitely fun. I do miss the simplicity of Club Penguin at times. I do miss it when pins were small and hard to find.

Phineas99 asked: Which holidays do you celebrate? (Halloween, Christmas, Hanukkah, etc…)
Trainman1405: I celebrate Halloween and Christmas and Thanksgiving. Those are the top ones I can think of.

Phineas99 asked: Which songs of artists/bands do you hear?
Trainman1405: I listen to a ton of music. Looking at my iTunes, my top played band is Blue October. Other bands that I really like are The Killers, Go Radio, Stars, The Airborne Toxic Event, Cobra Starship, and so many more.

Phineas99 asked: Which is/are your favorite/favorites movie and TV Show right now?
Trainman1405: Right now I’ve been watching the UK version of Skins and The Whitest Kids U’ Know. (both are a bit age inappropriate for younger audiences) I haven’t seen any movies recently.

Phineas99 asked: As a kid/baby, what did you liked to do much before? Play trains, play toys, play with cars, go to playgrounds, play in the park, etc.
Trainman1405: I played with Thomas the Tank Engine trains, did puzzles, played with Hot Wheels cars, played with friends, went to the park, rode my bike, and played games on my Gameboy and Nintendo DS.

Phineas99 asked: What thing did you love much when you were a kid/baby? Stuff you liked on your childhood.
Trainman1405: I liked trains then and still do. :D

Phineas99 asked: Have you ever go to other places before? (Countries,states,etc)
Trainman1405: I’ve been to states surrounding the one I live in (which is a secret) and I went to Ireland when I was 1 year old.

Phineas99 asked: What do you love of Club Penguin and what do you hate of it?
Trainman1405: I love the constant originality and updates but dislike all the bugs.

Boorex asked: What is your favorite chips? I like flamin hot cheetos!
Trainman1405: I love corn chips and salsa.

Phineas99 asked: If you met Billybob (Lane Merrifield) and you get a chance to meet the Club Penguin HQ in Canada and you get a chance to give ideas or change on something on Club Penguin, what would it be? A party idea? A new game idea?
Trainman1405: I’d love to see The Party Starts Now and Anchors Aweigh in Dance Contest. It’d also be nice to view what stamps you can unlock for a game inside of that game instead of having to exit the game and view your stamp book. I haven’t got any game or party ideas.

Phineas99 asked: Have you met Happy77, or Billybob or other mods in Club Penguin before?
Trainman1405: I’ve seen Happy77 online, I don’t think Billybob, I’ve met Rsnail and Screenhog (Rsnail added me – although both him and Screenhog no longer work for Club Penguin) and I’ve also met Polo Field, Cool Times, and Businesmoose on several occasions. I’ve also met undercover moderators such as Rhinoo, Tundrafluff, Ricerocket14, Megatron, and Annelisemae. (This was all in 2007) I recently met Federflink1 too.

Phineas99 asked: Do you like memes? If so, which one is your favorite meme?
Trainman1405: I don’t have a favourite, but I do love all memes!

Phineas99 asked: Which one is your favorite color?
Trainman1405: Blue.

Phineas99 asked: Trainman, how do you see Club Penguin codes? Like clothes, mascots, games, etc. XP
Trainman1405: They have special configuration files.

Nightbug1 asked: If you could bring back any party on club penguin what would it be?
Trainman1405: The Summer Party or Water Party.

Gold Tommy10 asked: Is what state you live in too personal?
Trainman1405: Yeah, for now I’m not going to reveal it. I have lived in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania in the past though!

Gold Tommy10 asked: Will you post a pic of your brother its u in real life? >:D
Trainman1405: I don’t think he’d like that. ;)

Do you like life? Do you like to answer my questions? Okay I’m done giving as much as I can. I have more but I would not wate your time :p
Trainman1405: Yes. Yes. I don’t mind it but it’s starting to be overkill. Yes. Somewhat. Yes. Yes I do. I love it. He is a cool guy. Haha, as long as the train ride there isn’t too expensive. As long as it’s not put down my back. I don’t mind rain. The beach is nice. I don’t know when it is. I like the originality. The demand is one thing I dislike about blogging but it’s alright, I don’t mind it. I don’t like the bugs. Tracking is fun but hard work. I am not. Water is almost all I drink. I’ve ridden many. A little short. I am. I like some TV, yes. I don’t know. Only over the internet. I’m not sure. I will! I am not. I am. Antarctica. Club Penguin. Blue. Gary. Oranges. Purple. Planes. I do not. I love chocolate. Somewhat, it’s a few hours away. One of them have quit. I have no preference. I am a very fast typer. I am far from being a billionaire. Life is alright. I don’t mind the questions. Hopefully I answered them all. :P

Caldog9 asked: Are there 1000 pages yet?
Trainman1405: 1,205 as of writing this.

You…I mean, Your family, owns property. Is your house very big? Also how did your family acquire the land?

Trainman1405

Trainman1405

Nah, we own up until where the grass is taller. That “field” is owned by the town, so it’s like no-man’s land. We just have a backyard like many houses, it does not extend to the trees in the back – only 1/3 of the way I’d say.
