Gotta do this... Uurrgh, will have to limit meself to 5 facts

1. Let's start with this: I can pretty much count myself as being the ultimate definition of 'a nerd'. I spend my days with mathematics & sciences, spending free time on watching, reading, rpg'ing, and wargaming sci-fi & fantasy.
Socially, I am quite a failure. I mean, I can never find anythin to talk about with wel... 'Normal' people.
Don't wear glasse though

2. Aside from that, I do like to play with words. So acting (8 years of classes) & writing (mainly short-stories), got it! Have quite an obsession with British somehow, so I tend to do those 2 in that language. I give presentations, help other students out with their studies, etc. to get some hobby budget.

3. I think the hobbit must've been my first novel, when I was +- 6 years old? From there on, I became one hell of a reading freak (I think my parents saved me a couple of times from not being ran over by a bus while reading). Started with Lotr SBG about a year later. I played Lotr for about 5 years with no other companion than myself & an occasional friend or guest I could lure into my evil trap. Most of them didn't even know how to play chess... Oh well, not like any of my minis were that artistic.

4. I love keeping my mind bussy with all of the above. I spend hours creating lists one small pieces of paper, making notes for short stories. I occasionally design a boardgame as well. And of course, running a D&D campaign gives you something to think about as well (Yes, I think I am one Belgiums youngest Dm's). I'd just sit there, and talk out loud to myself... Sometimes I'd act out what I want to create... Yes, a lot of people think I'm a little bit mad.

5. Yes, the Dwarven script on my avatar is missing 1 lettre... I't like that on all my online accounts. Why I keep it that way? Well, actually I promised myself I'd change it when someone would point it out...
...
:roll:

You must live up North within distance of a... Cooplands? :D

1. I consider myself to have potential talent in a number of areas but I'm too unmotivated to do anything half the time.
2. I love Mass Effect so much. It's gotta be my favourite Sci-fi universe! I've even got some N7 dogtags :D
3. I often leave a spare hair elastic(s) around my wrist. It often leaves a deep imprint from being tight all day, and my partner tells me off. :rofl:
4. I'm terrible at present buying because I always wanna tell people what I bought them. Consequentially, I hate Christmas for this reason.
5. BUT I LOVE CHRISTMAS. Brb, I need to make a Christmas Avatar.

Eh, sure what the heck.

1. I'm currently in my first semester of college on an Air Force ROTC scholarship (I'm getting paid to go to school, which really helps when buying minis!) studying Civil Engineering.
2. I'm a pretty big dude too, 6'3", but I have lost 35 pounds (weight measurement, not money!) in the last 4 months, so I don't feel quite so big anymore.
3. I first read the Hobbit in 3rd grade and flew through LotR in a matter of 1 week when I was in 4th grade. I got a LOT of points that year in a reading competition from JUST those 4 books, 5th in the entire school.
4. I have reread The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion so many times, I can't read them anymore, I know them too well. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any of the Lost Tales books.
5. I am a diehard Christian who puts God, Family and Country first.

Five more for the pot:

1: I have been in and out of hospital for surgery and associated forms of torture due to a nasty wee tumour.
2: Bad as that is, losing my big Staffie to old age and ill health earlier this year was awful and hit me a lot worse because he's gone and I can be bolted back together after a fashion.
3: Medication does not improve my weird sense of humour.
4: I am beside myself with anticipation of 14th December 2012...
5: I discovered The Big Bang Theory this year (the TV series, not the actual Big Bang...). It's sort of appropriate, given that I do techie work, have been in Uni and College 3 times accumulating letters after my name, and I have a fondness for things that make very loud noises (NOT including small children). Bazinga.

1. I play Lord of the Rings Online a lot, as in I spent an unhealthy amount of time on that game.
2. I work at the United States Post Office, in one of their sorting facilities.
3. I enjoy cooking, something about getting down and dirty with fresh ingredients and putting together a dish soothes me.
4. I enjoy historical representations of Anglo Saxon culture, but cannot find a group to participate in since this seems to be a mostly English and European type of deal.
5. I wake up at 5:30am to get to work on time, and get home 8pm-8:30pm depending on whether there's traffic or the bus/trolley is running slower than normal.

1 I love debating, and I'm quite good at it (if I may say so myself) if I take enought time to prepare. Sadly, I tend to get carried away a bit too much, to the point where people start to take it personal.
2 I'm pretty much the antithesis to "politically correct".
3 I have a lot of rules project in the go, but the only ones that're anywhere near completion are the Napoleonic project and the ASIOAF project.
4 I love good food of all kinds, except vegetables.
