Ok. So everyone posts their little intro threads. Not a lot of people post anything about themselves though. I think it would be very valuable for people to start getting to know each a little bit more. So... go ahead and post as much or as little about yourself as you want.
Here are some ideas: Name Birthday Age Religious/Political views Favorite Genres/Bands Favorite Movies Where you're from What you plan on doing for a career/what you are doing for a career
Feel free to say anything at all so long as it doesn't break the TOS or anything. Hell, go ahead and post links to your social sites as well (Facebook, Myspace, Last.fm, deviantART, Digg, etc.) if you want.
I'll post in a little bit. Kinda just woke up and can't think straight yet. haha

Name- Kay Birthday- May 26th, 1990 Age- 11 days shy of my 19th birthday. Religious/Political views- Agnostic Favorite Genres/Bands- rap. hip hop, r&b, pop, some rock (too many bands/artist to list) Favorite Movies- Changeling, Stomp The Yard, Seven Pounds, Taken, again, too many to list. Where you're from- Spokane, Washington, USA. though I actually moved from there last July. something I never thought I would do. What you plan on doing for a career/what you are doing for a career- I've changed this so many times lately.. it's truly pathetic. For the longest time I wanted to be a Journalist.. but that just doesn't thrill me anymore. I'm thinking something more along the lines of working with kids, because I love children. they're awesome to be around. Especially infants and babies. I'm thinking something along the lines or working in a daycare, maybe owning my own when I get older. Who knows. Currently, I'm working retail at Fred Meyer, which is part of the Kroger family.

Bleh. I didn't mean to use that as a template. It was just for ideas. Anyways, my name is Josh, obviously. I'm 19, 20 on December 9. I was born in Warren, MI, spent the first three years of my life in Clinton Township, MI, and then have lived in Sterling Heights, MI ever since. I've gone to two colleges in two semesters so far and will probably be attending a third next semester. Um... I'm atheist. A republican even though I have been told most of my views are more communistic than republican but whatever. I have staunch anti-drug and alcohol views. I love video games and play my 360 almost daily (Mostly Halo 3). I own two MacBooks and three iPods and I am really trying to get an iPhone. I drive a Black 2002 Saturn Vue. Greatest car in the world. I love to play soccer. Love to watch hockey. Biggest Red Wings fan in the world. I love science fiction and fantasy books. I love the works of Rowling, Tolkien, and Colfer. Music wise, I listen to a lot of metal mainly. You can see what I listen to here. Movie wise, my favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings, Fight Club, V for Vendetta, Serenity, the new Star Trek, the Underworld series, Hellboy, Riddick, A Knight's Tale, The Dark Knight, and many more. lol I watch a loooot of tv. Favorite shows currently on the air are Lost, Dollhouse, Terminator, Fringe, House, 24, Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, Eureka and Mythbusters. Older shows that are off the air that I love include Scrubs (which better be cancelled), The 4400, Firefly (!!!!), Futurama and Invasion. Anything else anybody wants to know, feel free to ask.

Name: Brian Birthday: 03FEB89 Age: 20 Religious Affiliation: Church of the FSM. Politics: Just keep paying taxes, so I can keep getting paid. Music: Any and all is tolerable, it's the time for which it is tolerable that varies. Where I'm from: Born in Chitown, lived in the middle of nowhere, CA for 7-8 years, moved back to Chitown, and now I'm stationed in Charleston, SC for another year and half, before I'm off to wherever the Navy sends me. Career: As mentioned above, I'm in the U.S. Navy and I am loving every minute of it. Right now it's not all that exciting because I spend about 12 hours in class every day, and that trend continues for as long as I'm here in Charleston pretty much, but after that I'll get to see the world and get paid for it at the same time. Why I chose to use this template: Because I'm lazy. If I were to just babble on about myself no one would read it because it would be something along the lines of "OMFGWTFBBQ!!11TWELVE!11WALLOFTEXT"...ish. That, and no one probably knows who I am anyways, haha.

Don't treat them with respect like most other geeks but without them I wouldn't feel complete. I am can be lured into just about anything if Photography is on the tail end. I love to dress in style: blazer, nice shoes, nice shirts & a belt, not so much with *ties. I use search lingo in my posts/IM's as previously encountered; *=wildcard. I adore Piglet from Winnie the Pooh! Love my watches! Where Dolce&Gabbana glasses. Use sarcasm & metaphors more than I should. Love to play with words. Semi-apathetic. I drive an 18 year old, Dark Blue, Honda Accord. Hate living in localized & urban environments! Don't believe in kissing, sex until marriage. Hobbies - Photography, Video Games, Mechanical Tinkering (i.e. 9v USB Charger from an altoids tin), Go Karting & PhotoShop. Self - I am severely protective of my body. Literally no one has seen my torso, legs or feet for years. My arms make occasional appearances. I am in no way in discontent with my body, however; with the exception of my hair. Foods - Pizza! Chocolate! Cookies! Brownies! Steak! Corn Bread, Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast, Egg, Egg Nugget, Chicken Fingers, Macaroni & Cheese. I dislike Veggies, but I'll eat raw carrots & all sea food. I'm a picky eater, to the max. If there's something hard in my soft cheese/hamburger, I'm done with my burger. I won't eat hot dogs, sausages due to a video I saw when I was younger, then refreshed on an episode of Monk. Video Games - Unreal Tournament 2004 & III, Mac/PC & PS3 respectively. Resistance 1&2. LittleBigPlanet & Spore are my most commonly played. I will still play the D&D style game, Champtions of Norrath (1&2) from the PS2. Romance - I can't formally dance but I'll jiggy with anybody! While my perspective on love is obviously askew (no kissing until marriage? WTF Alex!) I do enjoy one-on-one moments of the standard geek things: video games (in-person or via online), skyping, etc. I also like to visit the park on a weekly basis despite any bad weather and visit the local rose gardens every few months - all with my camera of course. I'm shy. I believe every one-on-one outing with the opposite sex is a date. I have the worst trouble asking a friend to miniature golf or if they want to hang out for the day. Don't get me started about my Prom. Mood - I'm often a very happy & forgiving person but I'll be stern when I need to! The one tall tale sign is when I stop using emotes. If I use emotes then please take what I said, or about to, in stride. No emote for a while equals seriousness. Take note of this post? No? Technology - I adore technology! I follow it as much as I can, I'd follow it on twitter if I could! I make sure I'm experiencing the latest & greatest web sites pertaining to my tastes, entering private betas whenever possible. This is all I can think of at 1a.

WTF? Wouldn't have seen that coming in a million years. -- Ovi is my nickname and what everyone calls me. I hate my formal name. I was born December 23 1990 in the middle of a stormy night. I'm soon to be 18. I'm a Muslim. My political view is mixed. Conservative in some issues while liberal in others. I love Rock/Rock n' Roll, whatever you wanna call it. Too many favorite musicians to include. I've been into older movies recently (A Bridge By The River Kawai, Lawrence of Arabia, Shawshank Redemption). But generally, you can say I have the pop-taste. I'm currently residing in New York and we truly never sleep. Sometimes we play loud music that the whole neighborhood can enjoy at 4 am. I want to be a lot of things. Doesn't mean I'll be any.
