I am teh nerde!!!!11!!! Hehe, I'm a math major with an emphasis on the theoretical (applications? where we're deriving, we don't need applications...). I enjoy playing many, many video games and writing for my school's newspaper, the Fiat Lux (fiatlux.alfred.edu). I was formerly Managing Editor but I finished my term since I'm going away for a special math program at Penn State next semester. I'm also doing a Comp-Sci major and I've taken three semesters of Japanese.
As far as movies I'm a big fan of the Star Wars OT, with Empire as my favorite. I also like Frequency, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Donnie Darko and the Japanese version of Shall we Dance.
In TV, Law and Order is my life, and Twin Peaks pwnz me.
Music, my favorite band of all time is the now-defunct Sunny Day Real Estate, followed closely by Modest Mouse and Sigur Ros.
I've been playing games since the original Zelda and have played pretty much every console RPG since then. I play mostly computer games now, FPS and MMORPGs (currently FFIX, on-and-off with EQ since beta, previously SWG, AO, etc). I've been playing NS since 1.04, mostly on The Lunixmonster/FSD. When (if?) I do get outdoors, I pwnz the tennis.

uh. i like gaming. started off with .. i guess. the Vic-20 and this Robotron clone called Samus, that had a background music from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents..". i suppose i got into computers with our first real PC, the 286 with a blazing fast 12 MHz processor. i really got into FPS gaming with Quake. fastforward, since i've had an intensely boring life.
NS came out, i liked it a ton. however, found it difficult to play with ppl i didn't know. so i started a clan/gaming community for the older folks (18+), Old Fogies. been going strong, more or less, ever since.
what else? i also admin on Lunixmonster, when i'm not trolling several boards/news sites or spending time with the wife.

Not much to say about me really, planning to go into the Royal Marines after my birthday in April. Was going to sign up when I was 18 an did the 3 day PRMC then decided against it at the last minute because it's a big step I was only young and there was stuff I wanted to do before. Like go on 3 holidays with my mates try out various jobs and meet new people some of which are now the best friends I will ever know also got a PC with the internet and discovered NS in this time; now I've done a lot of fun stuff I can go sign up <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
My interests mainly include sports like Football/Rugby and playing them although I haven't played Rugby for some time last time I played I got a dislocated knee cap, it took a while to get that completly fixed through physio therapy so I thought it wise to give up Rugby lest I damage soemthing more seriously prior to joing the Royal Marines.
Also enjoy reading, mostly stuff by Tom Clancy and watching films.

Oh and gaming-wise. Its been only Ragnarok, GunBound, CS and NS. All mainly because they are games u can play low spec and I got friends who I play with there. I wish I coudl play the cool games like FarCry and SC:PT but i only got a stupid Radeon PCi card. And just so u know my comp doesnt even have an AGP card.

I'm not really as interesting as all you other people but let me see. I intend to study Philosophy and Politics at University should I get the A-level grades and become a teacher. I'm very interested in History and am, unsurpringly, very interested in politics.
I am a member of the <a href='http://www.conservatives.com' target='_blank'>Conservative Party</a> and am often out canvassing at the weekends with the local party. (Vote Conservative on 10th June 2004 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->) However I am rather a 'wet' Tory compared to others.
I am also half-American, and take an interested in American Politics too (I ensure my father votes Democrat).
My father comes from Boston, Massachusetts and he was the grandson of Lebanese immigrants however everyone else in my family is English. Anyway due to this I am a big fan of Baseball and American Football when it gets shown over here. (Go Pats)
All you people are far more interesting than me.
Hmmm not much else I don't think, apart from saying that I work part time as a Butcher and Fishmonger so I know how to fillet fish, which I am sure will be very useful later in life <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I don't post here normally, but I skulk on the forums enough that I think I should post on this thread.
I'm not to interesting, I don't have very high confidence so I end up getting picked on a lot. However I hope thats starting to change. Compared to other kids in my school I'm a computer god. ( Swear half of them don't know what the initials RAM mean) I go to High school full time and I'm in the AP program, in fact I should be studying for the biggest test of the year right now. I swim three days a week and as a Softmore I'm the second fastest kid on the team, next to the fastest kid in the state. I don't have much of a life out side of school, no G/F or friends that I hang out with regularly.
My home life consists of playing on the computer all day long, getting dinner and doing my homework to the sound of a rock station.
I'm would like to to get into the CISCO class next year and get a job as a network admin after I graduate from collage. That failing I'm going to have my dad teach me Python as my first language and then move on to C++.
Current music interests include Muse, Modest Mouse and Presidents of the United states of America. If haven't heard those bands I strongly encourage you check them out.

I dress in a fusion of goth/punk/military, I have purple bangs (occasionally pink), and I'm a civil rights activist (mostly concentrated on same-sex rights atm, but also into a mild form of feminism and racial equality). I was a former instructor in martial arts until I left for college, and still practice occasionally.

I'm a high school student on Long Island in New York. This is the place where dreams die. Anyway, I'm in my junior year. I'm pretty smart, I do very well in all my subjects, of course this is a problem because I can't figure out which subject I want to pursue. One extracurricular activity that I am SURE I want to pursue is music. I am a saxophonist, I play a lot of classical sax stuff (yes there is some) and I'm starting to get into jazz. (this has always bugged me, I feel that jazz is a uniquely black art form, yet I barge in on it...) I'm also a member of a s --- no, a diesel post-ska band. PM me if you want to hear some stuff from the CD we just cut (professionally recorded)!
I'm always in a peculiar situation with the ladies; I fall for one and then a different one falls for me (maybe, dont know for sure), and then everything is mixed up D:. I had a girlfriend back in 8th grade for about a month, then we just stopped talking to each other after school ended (it was a private school at the time, she lived far away).
As for pastimes, I actually spend very little time playing computer games. (My parents would beg to differ.) However, I've only got a few weeks until the SATs, so it's no computer games for me. So I spend most of my time on the forums, worsening my carpal tunnel.
Politically, I am proud of myself that I don't label myself under any party. I lean undeniably left, but I have my issues with every leftist party, from the Democrats to the Communists. Too many of my opinions need to be explained (A democratic socialist, advocate of national sovereignty... etc) that I'll just leave you with the vague description of a leftist who has a world-view.
I was raised a Protestant but now I'm an atheist. And damnit, I am not afraid!
I usually speak with most articulation and insight over fast food. Although I NEVER eat fast food. I guess I have a slow metabolism, I'm not like.. obese (the body mass index says I'm almost there, which is interesting)... but I have what you might call a spare tire. Its damn hard to even make a dent in it.. still haven't figured out a way. But I did start utilizing the school weight room, which has made my life a little more enjoyable.
Cats are my favorite animals, and then bunny rabbits. I like to watch (american) football, and baseball when my favorite team (my hometown Cubs) is on. Also soccer, but its very slow... fewer goals = less excitement imo. Perhaps I need a favorite team for that. Actually, Ping Pong (table tennis) is my favorite sport out of all of those to watch <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ah, never saw this.
Age: 16 Name: Jake, Omi, or Q(Q is the most recent. I've been meeting a lot of people in town who first knew me online or have heard of me, and so they'd rather just call me Q. Some of my Japanese friends call me Omi, as well as my close friends. Everyone else calls me by my actual name- Jake[not Jacob, Jake]). Physical Statistics: Traipsing on the line of being "Fat", I'm a tall, thin-haired(but growing long) boy with muscles that are quite apparent in my neck, chest, arms, gluts, calves, and thies(aka, the only part that isn't is my belleh). I have a bit of redness on my cheeks from a desease that'll go away when I'm 30 they say. Whatever, doesn't effect me, and not contagious(and hard to notice if I've shaved. If I haven't, it stands out). I'm 6'1" or 6'2" depending on time of day.
I like Games more than anything right now, though I am looking for a solid relationship with a girl, beyond the "Damn your hot let me in your pance" variety. After that there is Romance novels, Manga(mostly Shoujo), Anime, DDR, and tech PC stuff. The single most important person in my life is a girl named "Jeany" who has saved my life more times than I can count, from either suicide or keeping me cool in bad situations. I have a long temper but once it is blown, I come swinging and ready to klobber anyone in my way. Otherwise I'm a very sensitive, heartfelt guy that would do anything for his friends and family, and a hard-core Christian that would do anything the Bible, or something I myself felt Christ himself, told me.
I'm sure everyone's deathly interested in me (...eventually I'll get myself in that 'post your picture' stuff...but scanner isn't here and I don't really have many pictures).
Fore ease of reading, things will be presented in cool (mostly) little factoids!
Name (Real): Matthew (people from German class call me Matthias, lots of people use Matt) Game Naames: UltimaGecko, SturmGecko
Born: 7/26/1985 (pretty sure that's in the profile) Age: 18 (for people to lazy to subtract) Height: 5'8"- 5'10"...depending (it's like...175cm if my 2 second math is right) Weight: 195-210 ...haven't measured it in awhile (...around 92ish kg) Residence: Wisconsin, United States (city varies depending on university/home and other family)
Physical...quirks: I've got the cool belly, but as people are surprised to know (as am I), I've got the cool 14-17% (I forget exactly) body fat. Which means I'm 170 pounds of rippling muscle....covered in an inch of fat <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Also relating to physical features: my vision is 20/200 in the left and 20/40 -20/50 in the right - with glasses, which barely passes me for driving.
I have 11 non-contagious (and some non-genetic) eye diseases, ranging from complete night blindness (ever seen a star besides the sun with your naked eye? Well I haven't) to nystagmus (bilateral involuntary ocular oscillations - my eye shakes involuntarily - basically means I can't get laser eye surgery for a long while, if ever). Although, I have to admit that it is getting somewhat better...not sure how but it is. I had an astigmatism but it went away about 2 years ago for no reason...Additionally, one of the above statements isn't completely true, I did see 2 more stars other than the sun recently (also, I saw some in a planetarium, which I could never before).
Emotional aspects: In reality I'm quite shy (hooray for the joys of internet, which makes talking with random people easier!), as in, it's incredibly hard for me to talk to people without being talked to first. That's getting slightly better at college, but still rather bad. I know why I do it, I know it's illogical, but I do it anyway....bah.
I also used to have quite a temper, but I guess most people get in fights in elementary-high school. My schools were fairly tame compared to a lot I've heard of, but still quite a few problems. A majority of the classes were directed at LE and ESL classes, while there were only about 6 AP classes (woot, AP Physics). That's in a school of around 2000+ people. Strangely enough, I became at least pals with 2 of the people I got in fights with.
Not to comment on any races, but for lack of a better seperater: the school basically had the normal people, 2 mexican 'gangs' and an asian 'gang' (mostly Hmong). Not that we really had big fights, sometimes people would have marijuana in their locker or something. Most of the bigger fights were between the two groups of mexicans.
Funny story about high school: The entire school found out one day that phoned in bomb threats were never acknowledged without physical proof. That is, they were apparently phoned in quite often, but the officals never did anything about them (alert the students, search for it, call the police/liason officers). However, on one day, we were told we'd be let out early, and they hurried us out the door and tried to whoosh us away. Then we find out that some ticking stopwatches that had been ordered for gym classes had been mistaken as a bomb. (It ranks up there with the chlorine leak at the pool in middle school).
...I think that's sufficient for now. Funny how I remembered those things but generally they don't come up in conversations, so it seems like I never have interesting stories....bah.
Name: Peter Gregg (the extra g isn't a typo, my parents are mad) Pallister DOB: 12/8/84 which makes me 19 at the mo Location: Stoke-On-Trent, UK
I'm 5'6" and at my last weighing in I was 112lbs but that was ages ago so I'm prolly a bit more than that now, yes I am a tiny tiny person. I come from a genetic makeup of a Scottish mother and a half Irish father which makes me 75% celtic I guess. Dark hair to the point where its nearly black, unless it grows then it starts turning ginger (damn that 75%) my eyes have this great technique of shifting between green and brown so we'll say hazel for them and I'm pastier than a tube of tooth cleaning produce. Aside from my skin me and the sun don't get along to my eyes being highly photoreactive meaning I get to wear "teh coolz0r" tinted glasses all day. I currently work in a WIlliam Hills Liscenced Booking Office, in the position of Customer Service Assistant, which means I work in a bookies and take money off people. I just got my intrweb access setup here as I just moved to Stoke at the end of January after living with my parents up in North Yorkshire (120 odd miles away from where I am now for non UK residents) and currently live with two friends, who are seeing each other (third wheel anyone?) I have two tattoos, one is a large piece of tribal blackwork on my left arm which represents the fact that I rushed into getting my first tattoo without thinking it through properly and my second is an even larger dragon across my back which to me represents the power, wisdom and freedom of soul I wish we could all have (/soppy sentimental crap) My taste in music is centred pretty much on the skapunk genre with little forrays into the world of metal and rock, though I am partial to some Aphex Twin every now and again. My fashion sense and general behaviour is also centred on my music, so yes, unfortunately I'm another one of those baggy jeaned hoody wearing losers you see wandering around city centres. I like to think of myself as pretty easygoing with a half decent sense of humour and my ultimate goal in life would to become a semi successful stand up comedian whilst touring with a semi successful band.
Pretty sure I've written to much (and used far too many brackets) so I'll go back to drinking coffee, smoking and lurking around the forums now.

Yes I'm really half black half indian. I enjoy time on the computer as well as going to the Hannam Gym just down the street with my friends Matt and James. I used to ball but I suck now so I dont do that much. I usually chill downstairs with my friends Chris and Edgar. I like to stare at fine girls at school and think about "what if I could get laid by her?" all the time. I make A's and B's in school and I'm 5'10. I am a freshman in highschool but some say I look older. I was born in Germany, not sure where though (damn german names). I'm a dragon on the chinese zodiac which means i might be rich when I grow up who knows... My talents are being funny, I have a good arm( I can throw pretty fast, hard and accurately) I also have a good leg. I am a good writer also. I'm a person you can come to for relationship problems even though I dont act like it most of the time I'm pretty understanding. So ya thats me, the mysterious Bizzy...

Location: Finland, Kuopio
Date of birth: 10.12.85, that means I'm 18.
Weeeeeell, I'm a few centimeters short of 180, I weigh 50-60kg, I'm not too beeffy. I've currently nothing to do for the next 2 or 3 months. My school ended and now I'm reading(at my own steady, slow, pace) for Uni entrance exams. I intend to become some kind of a doctor. My armed service starts in summer(shakes fist at Florian <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->) and I want to take everything out of it, the bad and the good moments.
I don't wear all black like other finns in this thread. I wear pretty 'normal' kind of clothes and listen to all kinds of music(except country and rap), but lately I've been concentrating on heavy-metal-rock sort of stuff. You know: Dire Straits, AC/DC, Metallica, Satriani, some never-heard finnish bands etc. Oh, and I'm single and I have developed a passion for Koff and Karjala-beers and 8-ball. Also I dig some outdoor sports like snowboarding/downhill skiing, tennis and fishing.
And I play guitar and speak german besides finnish and english. That should cover it.
I'lll tell you what this has been interesting to read, so I might as well add my two cents. (Hats off to Maquio to mentioning me in the topic starter, woot!)
Well not really much to say there, I do have some spanish/egyptian/etc background. So I am naturally tan in the summer and pasty in the winter, with the lovely mixture of jet black hair, and eyes. (Except for that Dune picture, dead sexy btw, LOVE YOU MATT!)
Interests: I have completed college and I am currently employed by the wonderful coporation known as RadioShack. Granted the vast majority of people who work here, do not know hardly anything, I happen to be in one of those lucky stores well two of my other associates are fun to converse with because they are quite knowledgable. I am an utter nub when it comes to computers mostly, however I do have some basic understanding. I specialize in cultural anthropology and ancient/present religions, it was a personal interest in college. I have been attempting to learn all of the languages that interest me and so far that has worked. Other then the fact I really don't do much other then work and browse the forums, (yes I get paid to do that!) not much to tell. Oh... I majored in business management/administration (almost the same thing) with emphasis on english literature/composition. I also have some other majors I could turn to degrees but I don't want to, they are more just personal interests. A good example would be: Automotive engineering, items mentioned above, along with chemistry and some basic psychology. I love answering deep and meaningful questions and just talking in general, at least online. In person I tend to be shy unless someone speaks to be first, that is due to lovely past experiences in a small town. :-)
*edit* Oh yes, one other thing, if you can guess which language Lanfear does mean Daughter of the Night in, you get an emulated cookie and pai*. :-)

Is it in a realy language also? If so then Jordan is playing silly buggers again (he does that alot)
Another interesting thing that I am noting is that there are a surprisingly large number of regs who are 20+. It seems sorta odd for a comunity like this (well I guess we are bug enugh to have that many <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
I really need to finish reading the wheel of time series...
Considering that NS was originally (Classic NS before CO came along) about team-work and, in the marine case, accepting commands of your leader is it really that surprising about the average age? =3 Sure there's younger people out there who can get into it but a lot won't, they'll still be in the 'proving myself' stages of gaming; CS and DM stuff where one player can be the deciding factor in the whole game if they're good enough.
I'm hardly a regular on these forums, but I lurk around enough, so I'm sorta ontop of things.
Name: Adam W. (I have qualms about giving my full name on the internet) Birthdate: January 8, 1985. In-game names: In most games, I'm known as 'Shzar'. In war games, however, I'm typically 'The Minstrel Boy'. Height: 6'4" Weight: 163 pounds Location: Langley, BC (about 1:15 drive east of Vancouver)
A short online history: My first online game was Quake 2, and I blew great big chunks at it, partly due to awesome 56k technology. Later, I became acquainted with Diablo and Starcraft, and finally the excellence known as Half-Life. Having purchased the Adrenaline pack, I became familiar with TFC, and I played that a lot and got quite skilled at it. Counter-Strike never appealed to me, mostly because the very first game I played, I shot some guy in the face with the pump shotgun and then I was banned from the server for 'hacking.'
Aside from gaming, I just finished my second year of College as a music major, specializing in trombone. Most likely, I will be going to McGill University in Montreal to finish my degree as an education major. When not playing games or playing my 'bone, I like to golf, read, and watch movies with my friends. This summer... I don't know what I will do this summer. Probably work somewhere that will give me a job, but I'm still kind of ecstatic that the school year is over for me.

I am teh nerde!!!!11!!! Hehe, I'm a math major with an emphasis on the theoretical (applications? where we're deriving, we don't need applications...). I enjoy playing many, many video games and writing for my school's newspaper, the Fiat Lux (fiatlux.alfred.edu). I was formerly Managing Editor but I finished my term since I'm going away for a special math program at Penn State next semester. I'm also doing a Comp-Sci major and I've taken three semesters of Japanese.
As far as movies I'm a big fan of the Star Wars OT, with Empire as my favorite. I also like Frequency, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Donnie Darko and the Japanese version of Shall we Dance.
In TV, Law and Order is my life, and Twin Peaks pwnz me.
Music, my favorite band of all time is the now-defunct Sunny Day Real Estate, followed closely by Modest Mouse and Sigur Ros.
I've been playing games since the original Zelda and have played pretty much every console RPG since then. I play mostly computer games now, FPS and MMORPGs (currently FFIX, on-and-off with EQ since beta, previously SWG, AO, etc). I've been playing NS since 1.04, mostly on The Lunixmonster/FSD. When (if?) I do get outdoors, I pwnz the tennis.

uh. i like gaming. started off with .. i guess. the Vic-20 and this Robotron clone called Samus, that had a background music from "Alfred Hitchcock Presents..". i suppose i got into computers with our first real PC, the 286 with a blazing fast 12 MHz processor. i really got into FPS gaming with Quake. fastforward, since i've had an intensely boring life.
NS came out, i liked it a ton. however, found it difficult to play with ppl i didn't know. so i started a clan/gaming community for the older folks (18+), Old Fogies. been going strong, more or less, ever since.
what else? i also admin on Lunixmonster, when i'm not trolling several boards/news sites or spending time with the wife.
taht's pretty much it. very boring.

Not much to say about me really, planning to go into the Royal Marines after my birthday in April. Was going to sign up when I was 18 an did the 3 day PRMC then decided against it at the last minute because it's a big step I was only young and there was stuff I wanted to do before. Like go on 3 holidays with my mates try out various jobs and meet new people some of which are now the best friends I will ever know also got a PC with the internet and discovered NS in this time; now I've done a lot of fun stuff I can go sign up <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
My interests mainly include sports like Football/Rugby and playing them although I haven't played Rugby for some time last time I played I got a dislocated knee cap, it took a while to get that completly fixed through physio therapy so I thought it wise to give up Rugby lest I damage soemthing more seriously prior to joing the Royal Marines.
Also enjoy reading, mostly stuff by Tom Clancy and watching films.

I'm not really as interesting as all you other people but let me see. I intend to study Philosophy and Politics at University should I get the A-level grades and become a teacher. I'm very interested in History and am, unsurpringly, very interested in politics.
I am a member of the <a href='http://www.conservatives.com' target='_blank'>Conservative Party</a> and am often out canvassing at the weekends with the local party. (Vote Conservative on 10th June 2004 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->) However I am rather a 'wet' Tory compared to others.
I am also half-American, and take an interested in American Politics too (I ensure my father votes Democrat).
My father comes from Boston, Massachusetts and he was the grandson of Lebanese immigrants however everyone else in my family is English. Anyway due to this I am a big fan of Baseball and American Football when it gets shown over here. (Go Pats)
All you people are far more interesting than me.
Hmmm not much else I don't think, apart from saying that I work part time as a Butcher and Fishmonger so I know how to fillet fish, which I am sure will be very useful later in life <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I don't post here normally, but I skulk on the forums enough that I think I should post on this thread.
I'm not to interesting, I don't have very high confidence so I end up getting picked on a lot. However I hope thats starting to change. Compared to other kids in my school I'm a computer god. ( Swear half of them don't know what the initials RAM mean) I go to High school full time and I'm in the AP program, in fact I should be studying for the biggest test of the year right now. I swim three days a week and as a Softmore I'm the second fastest kid on the team, next to the fastest kid in the state. I don't have much of a life out side of school, no G/F or friends that I hang out with regularly.
My home life consists of playing on the computer all day long, getting dinner and doing my homework to the sound of a rock station.
I'm would like to to get into the CISCO class next year and get a job as a network admin after I graduate from collage. That failing I'm going to have my dad teach me Python as my first language and then move on to C++.
Current music interests include Muse, Modest Mouse and Presidents of the United states of America. If haven't heard those bands I strongly encourage you check them out.

height: 5'11" (1.8m)
weight: 200? doesnt matter, whatever it is, its a little too much lol
age: 16.7
born: Chicago, IL
I'm a high school student on Long Island in New York. This is the place where dreams die.
Anyway, I'm in my junior year. I'm pretty smart, I do very well in all my subjects, of course this is a problem because I can't figure out which subject I want to pursue. One extracurricular activity that I am SURE I want to pursue is music. I am a saxophonist, I play a lot of classical sax stuff (yes there is some) and I'm starting to get into jazz. (this has always bugged me, I feel that jazz is a uniquely black art form, yet I barge in on it...) I'm also a member of a s --- no, a diesel post-ska band. PM me if you want to hear some stuff from the CD we just cut (professionally recorded)!
I'm always in a peculiar situation with the ladies; I fall for one and then a different one falls for me (maybe, dont know for sure), and then everything is mixed up D:. I had a girlfriend back in 8th grade for about a month, then we just stopped talking to each other after school ended (it was a private school at the time, she lived far away).
As for pastimes, I actually spend very little time playing computer games. (My parents would beg to differ.) However, I've only got a few weeks until the SATs, so it's no computer games for me. So I spend most of my time on the forums, worsening my carpal tunnel.
Politically, I am proud of myself that I don't label myself under any party. I lean undeniably left, but I have my issues with every leftist party, from the Democrats to the Communists. Too many of my opinions need to be explained (A democratic socialist, advocate of national sovereignty... etc) that I'll just leave you with the vague description of a leftist who has a world-view.
I was raised a Protestant but now I'm an atheist. And damnit, I am not afraid!
I usually speak with most articulation and insight over fast food. Although I NEVER eat fast food. I guess I have a slow metabolism, I'm not like.. obese (the body mass index says I'm almost there, which is interesting)... but I have what you might call a spare tire. Its damn hard to even make a dent in it.. still haven't figured out a way. But I did start utilizing the school weight room, which has made my life a little more enjoyable.
Cats are my favorite animals, and then bunny rabbits. I like to watch (american) football, and baseball when my favorite team (my hometown Cubs) is on. Also soccer, but its very slow... fewer goals = less excitement imo. Perhaps I need a favorite team for that. Actually, Ping Pong (table tennis) is my favorite sport out of all of those to watch <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Including college where Im at now, Ive lived in NY,FL,OH,PA, and MD. I ran track, played soccer, in school and am a black belt in the Korean martial art of Tae-Kwon-Do. I finished 1st and 3rd in the contact free sparring events in MD and NY states during my peak.
Ive played PC games since abput 1992 and will continue for the rest of my life if I can lol.

I like techno music more torwards the Trance sub genre and my favorite artist is ATB.
Currently Im a criminal justice major in college however my off college jobs are a police dispatcher and as a seasonal police cadet in the summer as im only 20. Next summer when Im 21 I go in as seasonal officer and that will be my off college season job until I finish up college.
Eventualy i want to try to get into a state or federal law enforcment agency but who knows where I will land.

I go to a british school(Some times ppl don't think I'm Peruvian), err i dont know how you would call the grade im in but it mainly has 14-15 yo ppl.
I used to take Tae kwon Do lesssons, but i got tired and school was just too much.
I like ...Biology, Computer Class and Break. Next year'll ill start the IB exams, ill probably take Biology, Business and History.
I love travelling, i like learning a lot about other cultures.
Also, I'm Sleek, I love being Sleek.
Age: 16
Name: Jake, Omi, or Q(Q is the most recent. I've been meeting a lot of people in town who first knew me online or have heard of me, and so they'd rather just call me Q. Some of my Japanese friends call me Omi, as well as my close friends. Everyone else calls me by my actual name- Jake[not Jacob, Jake]).
Physical Statistics: Traipsing on the line of being "Fat", I'm a tall, thin-haired(but growing long) boy with muscles that are quite apparent in my neck, chest, arms, gluts, calves, and thies(aka, the only part that isn't is my belleh). I have a bit of redness on my cheeks from a desease that'll go away when I'm 30 they say. Whatever, doesn't effect me, and not contagious(and hard to notice if I've shaved. If I haven't, it stands out). I'm 6'1" or 6'2" depending on time of day.
I like Games more than anything right now, though I am looking for a solid relationship with a girl, beyond the "Damn your hot let me in your pance" variety. After that there is Romance novels, Manga(mostly Shoujo), Anime, DDR, and tech PC stuff. The single most important person in my life is a girl named "Jeany" who has saved my life more times than I can count, from either suicide or keeping me cool in bad situations. I have a long temper but once it is blown, I come swinging and ready to klobber anyone in my way. Otherwise I'm a very sensitive, heartfelt guy that would do anything for his friends and family, and a hard-core Christian that would do anything the Bible, or something I myself felt Christ himself, told me.
Fore ease of reading, things will be presented in cool (mostly) little factoids!
Name (Real): Matthew (people from German class call me Matthias, lots of people use Matt)
Game Naames: UltimaGecko, SturmGecko
Born: 7/26/1985 (pretty sure that's in the profile)
Age: 18 (for people to lazy to subtract)
Height: 5'8"- 5'10"...depending (it's like...175cm if my 2 second math is right)
Weight: 195-210 ...haven't measured it in awhile (...around 92ish kg)
Residence: Wisconsin, United States (city varies depending on university/home and other family)
Physical...quirks:
I've got the cool belly, but as people are surprised to know (as am I), I've got the cool 14-17% (I forget exactly) body fat. Which means I'm 170 pounds of rippling muscle....covered in an inch of fat <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Also relating to physical features: my vision is 20/200 in the left and 20/40 -20/50 in the right - with glasses, which barely passes me for driving.
I have 11 non-contagious (and some non-genetic) eye diseases, ranging from complete night blindness (ever seen a star besides the sun with your naked eye? Well I haven't) to nystagmus (bilateral involuntary ocular oscillations - my eye shakes involuntarily - basically means I can't get laser eye surgery for a long while, if ever). Although, I have to admit that it is getting somewhat better...not sure how but it is. I had an astigmatism but it went away about 2 years ago for no reason...Additionally, one of the above statements isn't completely true, I did see 2 more stars other than the sun recently (also, I saw some in a planetarium, which I could never before).
Emotional aspects:
In reality I'm quite shy (hooray for the joys of internet, which makes talking with random people easier!), as in, it's incredibly hard for me to talk to people without being talked to first. That's getting slightly better at college, but still rather bad. I know why I do it, I know it's illogical, but I do it anyway....bah.
I also used to have quite a temper, but I guess most people get in fights in elementary-high school. My schools were fairly tame compared to a lot I've heard of, but still quite a few problems. A majority of the classes were directed at LE and ESL classes, while there were only about 6 AP classes (woot, AP Physics). That's in a school of around 2000+ people. Strangely enough, I became at least pals with 2 of the people I got in fights with.
Not to comment on any races, but for lack of a better seperater: the school basically had the normal people, 2 mexican 'gangs' and an asian 'gang' (mostly Hmong). Not that we really had big fights, sometimes people would have marijuana in their locker or something. Most of the bigger fights were between the two groups of mexicans.
Funny story about high school: The entire school found out one day that phoned in bomb threats were never acknowledged without physical proof. That is, they were apparently phoned in quite often, but the officals never did anything about them (alert the students, search for it, call the police/liason officers). However, on one day, we were told we'd be let out early, and they hurried us out the door and tried to whoosh us away. Then we find out that some ticking stopwatches that had been ordered for gym classes had been mistaken as a bomb. (It ranks up there with the chlorine leak at the pool in middle school).
...I think that's sufficient for now. Funny how I remembered those things but generally they don't come up in conversations, so it seems like I never have interesting stories....bah.
DOB: 12/8/84 which makes me 19 at the mo
Location: Stoke-On-Trent, UK
I'm 5'6" and at my last weighing in I was 112lbs but that was ages ago so I'm prolly a bit more than that now, yes I am a tiny tiny person.
I come from a genetic makeup of a Scottish mother and a half Irish father which makes me 75% celtic I guess. Dark hair to the point where its nearly black, unless it grows then it starts turning ginger (damn that 75%) my eyes have this great technique of shifting between green and brown so we'll say hazel for them and I'm pastier than a tube of tooth cleaning produce.
Aside from my skin me and the sun don't get along to my eyes being highly photoreactive meaning I get to wear "teh coolz0r" tinted glasses all day.
I currently work in a WIlliam Hills Liscenced Booking Office, in the position of Customer Service Assistant, which means I work in a bookies and take money off people.
I just got my intrweb access setup here as I just moved to Stoke at the end of January after living with my parents up in North Yorkshire (120 odd miles away from where I am now for non UK residents) and currently live with two friends, who are seeing each other (third wheel anyone?)
I have two tattoos, one is a large piece of tribal blackwork on my left arm which represents the fact that I rushed into getting my first tattoo without thinking it through properly and my second is an even larger dragon across my back which to me represents the power, wisdom and freedom of soul I wish we could all have (/soppy sentimental crap)
My taste in music is centred pretty much on the skapunk genre with little forrays into the world of metal and rock, though I am partial to some Aphex Twin every now and again. My fashion sense and general behaviour is also centred on my music, so yes, unfortunately I'm another one of those baggy jeaned hoody wearing losers you see wandering around city centres.
I like to think of myself as pretty easygoing with a half decent sense of humour and my ultimate goal in life would to become a semi successful stand up comedian whilst touring with a semi successful band.
Pretty sure I've written to much (and used far too many brackets) so I'll go back to drinking coffee, smoking and lurking around the forums now.

Yes I'm really half black half indian. I enjoy time on the computer as well as going to the Hannam Gym just down the street with my friends Matt and James. I used to ball but I suck now so I dont do that much. I usually chill downstairs with my friends Chris and Edgar. I like to stare at fine girls at school and think about "what if I could get laid by her?" all the time. I make A's and B's in school and I'm 5'10. I am a freshman in highschool but some say I look older. I was born in Germany, not sure where though (damn german names). I'm a dragon on the chinese zodiac which means i might be rich when I grow up who knows...

My school ended and now I'm reading(at my own steady, slow, pace) for Uni entrance exams. I intend to become some kind of a doctor. My armed service starts in summer(shakes fist at Florian <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->) and I want to take everything out of it, the bad and the good moments.
I don't wear all black like other finns in this thread. I wear pretty 'normal' kind of clothes and listen to all kinds of music(except country and rap), but lately I've been concentrating on heavy-metal-rock sort of stuff. You know: Dire Straits, AC/DC, Metallica, Satriani, some never-heard finnish bands etc. Oh, and I'm single and I have developed a passion for Koff and Karjala-beers and 8-ball. Also I dig some outdoor sports like snowboarding/downhill skiing, tennis and fishing.
And I play guitar and speak german besides finnish and english. That should cover it.

Age: 22
Height: 5'4" - 5'5"
Weight: 115-120 :-)
Background:
Well not really much to say there, I do have some spanish/egyptian/etc background. So I am naturally tan in the summer and pasty in the winter, with the lovely mixture of jet black hair, and eyes. (Except for that Dune picture, dead sexy btw, LOVE YOU MATT!)
Interests: I have completed college and I am currently employed by the wonderful coporation known as RadioShack. Granted the vast majority of people who work here, do not know hardly anything, I happen to be in one of those lucky stores well two of my other associates are fun to converse with because they are quite knowledgable. I am an utter nub when it comes to computers mostly, however I do have some basic understanding. I specialize in cultural anthropology and ancient/present religions, it was a personal interest in college. I have been attempting to learn all of the languages that interest me and so far that has worked. Other then the fact I really don't do much other then work and browse the forums, (yes I get paid to do that!) not much to tell. Oh... I majored in business management/administration (almost the same thing) with emphasis on english literature/composition. I also have some other majors I could turn to degrees but I don't want to, they are more just personal interests. A good example would be: Automotive engineering, items mentioned above, along with chemistry and some basic psychology. I love answering deep and meaningful questions and just talking in general, at least online. In person I tend to be shy unless someone speaks to be first, that is due to lovely past experiences in a small town. :-)
*edit* Oh yes, one other thing, if you can guess which language Lanfear does mean Daughter of the Night in, you get an emulated cookie and pai*. :-)
I have rambled enough for now, if any one does have any other questions, I love responding to PMs, just ask AllUrHive. :-)
(PS) LOVE TO BIZZY!!!! :-)

Actually, if yours is in any way comparable to the German Gymnasium, you're currently in what an American would call a posh High School <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Nem it is, the Danish and the German educational system was highly similar, and still is quite similar
Is it in a realy language also? If so then Jordan is playing silly buggers again (he does that alot)
Another interesting thing that I am noting is that there are a surprisingly large number of regs who are 20+. It seems sorta odd for a comunity like this (well I guess we are bug enugh to have that many <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
Considering that NS was originally (Classic NS before CO came along) about team-work and, in the marine case, accepting commands of your leader is it really that surprising about the average age? =3
Sure there's younger people out there who can get into it but a lot won't, they'll still be in the 'proving myself' stages of gaming; CS and DM stuff where one player can be the deciding factor in the whole game if they're good enough.
Just a kind of theory of mine I guess...

A short online history:
My first online game was Quake 2, and I blew great big chunks at it, partly due to awesome 56k technology. Later, I became acquainted with Diablo and Starcraft, and finally the excellence known as Half-Life. Having purchased the Adrenaline pack, I became familiar with TFC, and I played that a lot and got quite skilled at it. Counter-Strike never appealed to me, mostly because the very first game I played, I shot some guy in the face with the pump shotgun and then I was banned from the server for 'hacking.'
Aside from gaming, I just finished my second year of College as a music major, specializing in trombone. Most likely, I will be going to McGill University in Montreal to finish my degree as an education major. When not playing games or playing my 'bone, I like to golf, read, and watch movies with my friends. This summer... I don't know what I will do this summer. Probably work somewhere that will give me a job, but I'm still kind of ecstatic that the school year is over for me.
