special intrests have always included cars (been learing the finer points of driving by pushing the hell out of my lightly modded subaru impreza in the foot or so of snow we got recently, AWD in the snow is fun as hell.)
interesting facts: uh… I lived in Korea for a year while I was in the army, was the time of my frickin life.. I would ALMOST re-enlist to go back.
Specifically, I'm a software/web-application and database developer. Right now I'm in the process of migrating legacy applications sitting on Oracle databases to MySQL with either a PHP or Access front end. I also manage a few of the linux boxes here where I've actually been hosting a friends MUSH for a year or two. I'm also an adjunct faculty and teach programming classes at night.
Been doing MUD's and MUSH's for about 12 years or so, and actually did commercial online text-based game development for Simutronics a while back.
It's been… *glances at his watch*... 8, maybe 10 minutes since my last drink.
My real name's Nunya. Nunya Damn Business. I'm a Senior Software Engineer for a sucessful entertainment website (www.ifilm.com) in Los Angeles, California. I've been coding since I was 5, but I wasn't serious about it until I was almost 18, at which time I made a career out of it. I'm a bit of a jack of all trades, being very widely versed in many aspects of technology including electronics and hardware design, but my true passion remains with coding. I'm versed in over 60 programming languages, and have constructed a few of my own, one of which is still in very active use today (Babble-On).
I'm happily married, and we a son together. My hobbies include doing anything with my family, exploring new paradigms of software architecture, coding, RPing, partying, collecting movies and TV shows (but I rarely get to watch them), and collecting, making, and playing games of all types, although text-based seem to be my favorite (Not just MOO's... Infocom and Legend games too).
Sindome wasn't my first M**... before that I was a coder on Muddy Waters for something like 6 years, before I tired of the (lack of) direction and effort by the admin, and was invited to come here by the Archwiz because of my coding expertise.
I've been a coder for Sindome for just shy of two years now, and I'm proud to say that I have been and continue to be one of the driving forces that evolves and improves the codebase in new, sometime revolutionary ways. Being an admin has it's ups and down, but the outcome of my efforts are almost always a rewarding experience for both myself and the community for which I voulenteer.
Anyway, you'll definately see me in the game, but you probablly won't know it's me your seeing. Regardless, I look forward to RPing wit'cha.
-Kevlar
My name's Ryan, I live close to Jotun in a little town about 25 minutes (15 the way I drive) from South Bend.
Currently going to IUSB with a major in Journalism, and a minor/possible double-major in Philosophy. That says a lot about me…I'm really big into reading and writing, to put it simply. I'm also very big into technology, and am constantly second-guessing if I should make it my major or not. I work part-time at Ford dealership and a GM dealership as a network administrator (though that usually means browsing Fark until someone's printer runs out of ink).
Big hobbies are RPG's, though right now SD is the only one I play (until WoW comes out!). Cyberpunk is a big part of my interests and hobbies, thus my presence here ;)
I've been playing SD for a bit over a year and a half, and it's gotten to the patheic point where I wonder what I'd spend time doing if it ever shut down.
I'm 19 years old, and the only other interest I have is in cars as well. I didn't know Jotun had a Subaru, and I'm now jealous. I'm embarassed to say what I drive right now, but hopefully in about 2 years I'll have my Neon SRT-4.
That's it. Told you I was boring. :(

I'm Ryan, 18 year old Irish American living in Atlanta, Georgia. People used to call me 'Fitz' long ago, after my last name (I'll leave you to guess which Fitz- name it is). The only people who still call me it are people I knew from elementary school, so none of you are allowed to call me Fitz and so incidentally there was no purpose saying anything about it.
I work for a small company (no shameless plug) that installs security systems and other low voltage electronics (cable, phone, network, whatever). Unfortunately I spend more time dealing with stuff like a bastard MS Access database (NOT my choice) than anything interesting.
My hobbies are pretty widespread, among things like electronics, programming, writing poorly and reading, languages (bad english, esperanto, swedish, and more to come), battletech, origami, and a million other things I couldn't possibly think of in a reasonable amount of time. I don't spend much time on M**'s as a many other players do. SD is the only MOO I've played for any significant amount of time, and there's only one MUD I've played for any significant amount of time.
In person, I'm very sarcastic and don't take many things very seriously. With the pinnacle of American fashion, I have a buzzcut and wear baggy pants. I'm tall and skinny, but know White-Fu. I have social anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and I'm easily distra-oooh shiny.
Where was I? Fuck it, I've rambled enough.
Ookay. My name is Kosta, though everyone calls me Koz by now. I'll be 22 this coming saturday, and I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I'm a 3d artist trained at the National Animation And Design Centre,currently working as a CSR at Fido while I slave away at a new portfolio to dazzle the people over at the new EA studio here. My interests include drawing, half-assed attempts at making music, digital art, fine beers, cooking, foreign films, trees, aimless wandering, football (as in soccer), and I'm most likely SDs resident metalhead. I speak english, french and greek fluently and I went through 120 some-odd hours of japanese, which I never finished but I intend to.
My fav bands include Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, Iron Maiden, Arch Enemy, Black Sabbath, Billy Idol, Iggy Pop, The Ramones, Anthrax, King Diamond, Zeromancer, Therion, Wumpscut, Suicidal Tendencies, Judas Priest, Rush, Dream Theater, and so on..
As far as gaming goes, I've always been a console type, except when it comes to FPS'. My fav FPS' are Battlefield 1942, Day Of Defeat and the HalfLife mod The Specialists.
M**-wise, SD was the first M** I played for more than a month, and I've been playing it for two years and three months. I freeform RP on a MUSH or two, and I'm also a wiz on…another MOO.
As far as RPGs go, my pen and paper career has been mostly GMing. Rifts, Cyberpunk 2020, WarHammer, Jovian Chronicles, Heavy Gear....and as far as being a player goes, I was coerced into a game of AD&D once which made me want to set the DMs books on fire for sheer hate of the system, settings and number of dice.
I dress in black like Johnny Cash (whee), I have longer hair than most, I never wear logowear or bandwear or jewelry. Unless I'm going out for a time or a date, in which case, it's combats, BDUs, my choker, slave bracelet and my Blind Guardian or Shane MacGowan shirt. Whee.
Welcome to Sindome. Go make noise. :P

I'm not very special really. �Was born in Georgia in a military hospital. �Then lived in Germany for a few years before moving to Charlottesville, VA. �Then moved to Schuyler where I still am, unfortunately. �Went to VCU in Richmond for a year and a half before they kicked me out due to financial issues and my questionable mental stability. �Anywho, gone through counselling and I'm at a community college now (Piedmont Virginia Community College) in Cville. �I hate this fucking place, so I'm trying to get my grades up so I can get back into VCU.
Anyway, I originally was an Art major, but I dropped out of that program and then went a bit loony for about a semester or so and got myself in alot of trouble. �Then I started getting into Mass Communications, more specifically the Marketting and Journalism aspects. �And more recently I've become interested in Philosophy.
Hobbies include reading, writing, sequintial art, graphics design, long-distance running (though I'm out of shape right now, augh!), getting drunk, and collecting things like DVDs, various types of weapons, and a few comic books.
My personality is rather hard to describe, because it changes depending on the circumstance and my emotional status at the time, though usually I'm pretty quiet and introspective, unless I'm angry, drunk, or feeling just plain silly.

I've been playing SD for 1.95402 years now, about as long as Kevlar's been around, actually.
I'm 17, most of my interests are computer-related, and I'm especially into programming, especially on the MOO on which I am archwiz which has been in development for a little over two years and is expected to release next January.
My biggest interest in the computing field is definitely AI, and MOOs afford me a good opportunity to put that interest into practice (making NPCs smarter = fun). I've also got my automotive interests.. Namely my two third gen Trans Ams (although my heart's set on a '71 GTO someday).
And, at the moment, I am getting paid to try to weed out this broken Access Database (ACK) which includes an assload of VB code (which I'm not bad at) but I absolutely could learn alot more about MSAccess.
Other than that, you can usually find me staring at a wall, somewhere, both ICly and OOCly, or even fixing grammatical errors on my BgBB posts.

But my main question..
Do you have a third gen of your very own?
I drive a '92 Firebird and with the combination of Kev and I, we definitely look like Pontiac fanatics over here. We have the '82, '85, '92, and then a '98 Grand Prix, and a '67 Grand Prix Convertable on its way now. :-\
As far as my life goes, Im 17 and attending college as a business major, considering minor/double major in Philosophy. Metro State has 3 core classes to minor, and im taking 2 of them already this semester, so for sure at least a minor.
I've been playing SD for about a year now, but of course dont get to play as much as i used to. Thanks to Kev we have a pretty fair number of the player base from around this area, and we're always looking to expand that number. So w00t for Colorado.
Specialties include picking my nose, spending time with my girlfriend, DRUMS DRUMS DRUMS, and more recently just going to school and expanding my knowledge. Never gets boring.
That's….about.....it. I guess i have a couple tats too, but that's just an ever-expanding project that is not worth describing as eventually that will be out-dated. You can reach me AIM via Thirdnobletruth.

God, I hate school.
Being essentially given a '69 Firebird today, after this thread's recent content. Is that some freaky shit or what?
From my sister's husband…he's had it since High School, and has never stopped working on it.
It's in perfect condition, and has more horsepower than a brand new Ford GT. No shit, I was there when he had it on a dyno.
I can't wait for summer.
I was an Army brat and moved all over the country, and I even lived in Germany for about 4 years. But I've never been further west than just on the other side of the mountians. :( Next on my list. This is the longest I've lived anywhere, and its been 5 years.
SD was my first M** and now I'm an Admin for the MOO opening in January. I've been playing for about a year and a half. This was my first CP experience, and now the book I'm writign is a CP base.
My specialties are writing, sneaking around behind my parent's back, hanging with my boyfriend, singing, and supporting small businesses.
Oh yeah, I'm 17 and stuck in hi!school still. And I'm going to go to University of Denver in the fall. With a major in Creative Writing. And hopefully learn how to spell at some point while there. ;)

Quote: from Lotus on 3:06 pm on Feb. 5, 2004[br]We keep hearing so much about this MOO….anyone care to throw out a name and/or some details? :)
Well, I could, but then my post would probably be deleted.
I'm Mark. I'm 19, and I'm from Illinois, near Chicago.
I currently go to college in Indiana where I major in computer science. I am also an admin for this other MOO that keeps getting mentioned. It's cold, and that's one reason I don't like the Midwest, so I figure I'll get out of here when I finish college. I've been playing SD for a year and a few months. I'm sure I've forgotten plenty, but that's all I can think of.
Well, I could, but then my post would probably be deleted.
I dunno where you got that impression….
I for one am a big fan of all things cyberpunk, especially MOO's. I frequently assist the admins of MOOs like Steel Sky and Destiny in questions of all types... especially coding and design questions. Of course I won't actually write the code for them, or tell them any Sindome trade secrets, but I do absolutely support them in whatever way they could use assistance when they ask. We maintain a very healthy mutually benificial relationship with the admin of several other MOOs.
Just use your judgement, and be considerate of where your posting. This is the Sindome board, not the ElseMOO board...
What I would consider rude is doing things like trolling (defined as advertising your site on our dime), or blasting SD and talking about how your MOO is so much better. I probablly would delete a post like that, because it is off topic, and not a discussion we'de care to host. I'm sure if the roles were reversed, you would feel exactly the same way. But if you want to give some basic details like "I'm a coder on a cyberpunk roleplaying moo called FluffyBunnyLand due out next January. It's still in it's infancy, but growing rapidly.", please go ahead. If people are interested in it, they'll go to google and search for the link. And you won't have offended anyone on this end.
It's kinda silly to think that we would deny it's existance, and ban all discussion of it. I for one can't wait to play it.
-Kevlar
Been in production 2 years, with at least one to go. Not jumping the gun. As you can tell, the majority of the SD player base has something to do with it, and even Kevlar has helped out in a few instances. (thanks Kev) We do try and keep that seperate from here, but in no way expect people to pick one or the other.
I mean, obviously, we all still play SD. Its quieted down a bit for us, but we still come over and get our CP RP fix.
*coughs*
I'd appreciate it if anyone else involved with Straylight Run wouldnt mention any further remarks about it or relations.
Questions just contact Thirdnobletruth via AIM.
Johnny helped out some, too.. And I know Rastus was helping out our other coder on a regular basis. And Damon was nice enough to give us his $debug object (which is handy as HELL).
So I'd just like to take the moment to thank them all for their support, let you all know what awesome guys they are somewhere besides our site.
And Kev, I've got a scripting system similar to your Babble-on on the back burner right now, and it's probably one of the most fun things I've coded thus far. There's always that and constantly making NPCs smarter when I'm looking for something fun to do.
And man, I can't even -name- 60 programming languages..

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS NOT VERY INTERESTING!
I'm a 21 year old racial mut, mostly Mexican Indian and Europian(Believe me, it's easier this way) from Chicago's south suburbs
I work in a small mexican bar and give massages in my spare time.not professionaly, but I've been told I should by just about everyone who has had one from me.
Hobbies, I would have to say drawing is a big one, other then that, I just chilll with my friends when not working. Ohh, there's videogames too.
Me the person, I'm usualy a real nice guy, sometimes too nice, although I'm fully capable of being an ass. People generaly get along quite well with me, although I can be annoying at times. Tendencies for sillyness are also common for me.
And one more thing, I should be returning sometime very soon. Those that were my friends, I've missed ya, those I don't know, I look foward to RPing with ya.
Man, my life sucks.
Hey all.
While Ike may be the CIA... I'm the guy who HIRED the CIA...
Anyways, my real name is Jared. I'm 18 and I live in St. Louis, Missouri. (If anyone gets me mad... I'll bomb the server... I -swear-.... hehehehehehehe)
I'm a senior at a rather difficult highschool, going to Truman next year and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get mucho scholarships so that I don't have to take out student loans.
In the distant future, I have no idea what I want my career to be... but like Iga, I probably pose some mild threat to the rest of the world governments. I've even been offered a few jobs by would-be and will-be dictators... *coughs and looks behind him*
As far as Sindome goes, I joined up about two months after Nic did. That'd be over three and a half years ago. Non-withstanding, I've been here a long damn time. Took a hiatus earlier this year, now I be back. I've been a GM here at SD, and a GM at two other MOO's in my past. One such MOO closed down due to money problems, the other is still putting along.
I'm currently enrolled in three seperate programming classes at school, and have had a rich exposure to coding from Jman and Kev... also have fine tuned my own systems and what not on other MOOs to fit my style.
Other than that... I've got to get going, I'm supposed to be at my friend's house in an hour, and she's waiting. :P
I joined up on Sindome on December 26th, 2002. So I've been at it for a year and a month and a half or so I guess. I have gone through two short-lived characters, and am playing the third currently. It's been great, and the RP that I've had is what is keeping me here. This was/is my first Cyberpunk experience, but I am also a player/tester guy on the MOO that shall remain un-talked about by Sidd's request. So yes.
When it comes to hobbies, well. I have alot of them, I guess. When I am not on my computer playing Sindome and/or other games that are fun, I am usually in my basement doing something. I have an XBOX which isn't played as much as it used to be cuz I have trouble finding the time. I also write (a few short stories, but mostly poems and stuff like that). I love to read novels and such, and drawing is also a favorite of mine. I have taken a C++ class and will continue to take as many coding classes as I can at my school because it has also become a nice little hobby of mine.
I plan to attend a college or university and major in Architecture and Engineering, which have always been huge interests of mine. Who knows. Maybe I'll design this damn Dome someday. Heh. Could I use the same name, Johnny? Pwetty please?
My name is Nathan, I live in NJ, work in NY. �This is the second MOO I've ever played, and the first with decent RP. �I used to play the old Pencil and Paper RPGs (D&D, CP 2020, etc.) many years ago, but just started getting into M**s over the past year or so.
I work as a Project Manager for a company that shall remain nameless (yes, I'm a corpie), but I am transitioning to DB developer, which I am excited about. �One day I hope to learn how to create my own MOO. �My academic background is in History (go figure).
Anyway, I am married and have a baby boy, which is just unbelievable and amazing. �I highly recommend marriage and child rearing.
My main outside interest is music composition. �I haven't written anything in the last year or so (what with my baby being born), but if you want to download any of my music (it's free), you can get it at http://www.nathanbibb.com/music.html �Be warned, some of it is a little…weird.
I also want to take a moment to say that I think SD is very well put together. �The devs and admins have done a great job of creating a cool, fun environment, which I would imagine could not be an easy task. �I've admin'ed my share of web-apps, and it's a pain in the ass.

Hey all, I'm Ryan, from a southern suburb of chicago called Lansing Il. SD has been my home for *goes off to check his profile* over a thousand days..not quite as long as Lucifer and Nic, but I've been around a good while. SD was my first MOO experience, as well as my first look into cyberpunk, the genre, not just RPing it. I was turned onto this, my second home, by the one and only Desolate May her MOOself rest in peace.
As for professions and schooling..Highschool, barely. Got kicked out of my house and was homeless about three months before I graduated spent about a year on the street. After that I went to Job Corps for almost a year, thanks to them I'm trained in culinary arts, and Oxy acetylene, MIG, FluxCore and SMAW (stick) welding, and was first sergant in thier Rangers Unit (Think ROTC) Since then I've been a mechanic, machine operator (I can run just about anything you sit me in or in front of), I did shipping and recieving in cold storage warehouses for a while.
Presently I'm a Private Investigator for E.L.Johnson Investigations here in chicago, gotta spiffy badge and everything.
Welp I think I'm done here. Look Kev..I attempted to use paragraphs!@! *hides under the table with his bong*
I'm Rebecca. I'm 26, which is starting to feel old (relax, older folks, it's just sinking in), especially in the roleplaying/M* community, which seems to be getting younger and younger (which has good and bad aspects to it).
I live in NYC, specifically Queens, and am completing a Master's degree in psychology this term. I'll be finishing a second Master's program in Social Work next year, as well. I figure, the more letters I have after my name, the more expensive my tombstone will be, and I intend to be as big of a pain in the ass when I'm dead as possible.
In high school and undergrad, my original pursuits were computers, programming, and so on, and that was really my first employment experience for a number of years. Before re-embarking on this educational travesty, I worked for 2 years as a child abuse investigator for NY state- I've gotten to see lots of people, places, and situations that would give Red sector a run for its money. I presently work part-time teaching English to Chinese immigrant students, grades K-3, but I'm looking for something to pay the bills a little better.
Roleplaying has always been a tremendous part of my life, and the more educated I become in the way people think and feel, the more I value RP as an emotional, intellectual, and creative exercise and outlet. Roleplaying games have an inestimable value in helping us experiment safely with new social situations, get out of our skins, and learn our own identities better as we see how we translate into an electronic world. I've always emphasized the M*'s that enforce good roleplaying and make it a central point of what to do there. I've also cherished it as a wonderful social activity among my friends, to help us all get outside of ourselves, think about things we wouldn't normally, and get to experience ranges of emotions and events that our lives often don't allow.
Much like my BgBB namesake, I'd very much like to be a novelist someday (though this post is beginning to border on novel proportions itself), and RP has been a fantastic way for me to get my creative juices flowing. I've been very, VERY impressed by most of the players I've met on Sindome so far, and have had enough quality RP to keep me coming back for a long time.
Perhaps because of my roots in the computer industry, I have a great appreciation for the value of good code on a MOO- 'purist' roleplayers tend to de-emphasize code, and avoid coded objects/processes when in fact, good code is perhaps one of the most essential 'props' of good online RP. The 'suspension of disbelief' is key to great roleplay, and having a world that reacts to you more like the real one- electronic devices that actually function, weather that cycles with the seasons, everything having smells, sights, and sounds- allows us to focus on our characters, their perceptions, and our actions.
See you on the 'Dome!

Crazy.
But yeah, names Bryson Booth, locale up here in Nowhere, Colorado. High school student, training for mechanical knowledge and whatever else I can snap up along the way. 17, well off into my carrer of hotrodding and car collecting. Got a '00 Camaro Z28, '69 Camaro (Wont tell out of fear of hideous name calling), soon to be arriving '69 Nova project, and enough things to break to keep me busy during the week.
Been livin in the dome for… something close to 10 months now. Obviously, i had no idea what the hell this was until I was prodded into it by Damus quite sometime back, (Back when you were up here, three for four or however many years ago it way.) and I eventually(3 or 4 years later :P) made it a habit, but no long after I realized just how addicting it can be. Can't forget Rain, who knocked me upside the head for not joining earlier. Ah well.
Life is boring as hell up here, and the only thing to do is break laws and drive like an asshole. Beyond that, I'm about as lively as your average 5 gallon jub of Mayonasse.

Name's Jesse. Middle names is James. I'm a 23 yr old Oklahoma boy. I live with my girlfriend of 7 years and am currently unemployed(hopefully that will change in the next few days though). I'm a jack of all trades but master of none. I can build a swing arm for a soft tail motorcycle or a slot machine, although I couldn't tell you shit about software. I'm a hands on person who loves to take shit apart and put it back together. I've had some college, but have taken a long break from it due to financial problems. I've played SD for quite a while, although have taken frequent breaks. I first started with the hack & slash mentality not having hardly any concept of CP. Took quite a while to realize the beauty of RP and Sindome itself. I currently spend most of my time lately playing SD, a few internet turn based games, WC3, and since the bunny ears on my tv don't pick up much, watching all those primetime tv shows from the site that was so graciously posted here in the BgBB a few weeks ago.
There. Oh and if I haven't said it in quite awhile, to all you behind the curtains that make SD possible, I appreciate it.
And to all those that I've had little to no RP with I look forward to good times.
The name's Aaron...but everyone calls me aJ. As the name suggests I party hard, although lately less then my usual since I'm graduating from community college (i r smrt) and attempting to get job in the real word. I have dreadlocks, I'm half-black half-jewish and possess the libido of monkey on viagra. Fortunately, I have grrlfriend...she's made of plastique. So I gotta be gentle. Psh, I like to mouth off...and I'm fairly good at it. I'm a computer geek of sorts...but don't tell anyone. I've played every single type of moo/mud thats out there and I'm pretty familiar with all the codebases. Out of them all, SD pretty much represented the mud I always wanted to make. So I just sat back and let the admins do all the work. ;)
I've been playing awhile, my rp style tends to stick out like sore thumb...but I don't give a damn. I'm sometimes opinionated, somewhat inappropriate...but all in all I'm nicer then nice. Trust me.
I'm unemployed but have had my share of backend jobs ranging from butcher, to porter, to computer lab dude.
Oh, and my grammar bites the big one.
2CH,
Grim
Age as an admin on SD: 9 years, 2 months, 2 days.
Actual time Admin'ing: about a year and a half in 1997, and a year now. heh..
Age as a player on SD: 1 year, 4 months, 13 days.
J-man recruited me from CS (only other M** i've played for more than a month) to be a builder while we were in the Corps back in 97.
I'm in my second marriage, have 1 son (and one daughter that was a gift to some friends <.<)
I'm a network operations tech for a business class ISP, and no, i can't host your website or give you colo space.
I've got my associates in network administration, but want to do 3d modeling. i'm an alright artist, nothing ground breaking or phenominal. i've done a couple things in blender, still learning.
I was pretty good at VB6 code about 4 years ago, and i've dabbled in C++. I have enough knowledge to cause Wren a headache with my code, but still get stuff to work when I want it to. Can't fix other peoples stuff, but i've done a couple on my own.
IRL, i'm pretty laid back. i rice my honda (civic vx.. body mods so far, plan on a Dart B20 300hp before the turbo and NOS.. w00t!), play waaay too much Oblivion, and watch movies with my wife. I spent a month learning about fiberglass and putty filler after i hit a driveway with my body kit… i want to learn to paint cars next.
I paint warhammer minis, but dont play often. like to collect more. I have a 4500pt Skaven army that is .. .02% painted (thats a lot of friggin rats!); a 500pt 40k Grey Knights army that is 90% painted; and a 500pt Black Templar army that is 15% painted.
I blog at http://soul-existence.blogspot.com, and wish classmates didnt charge to send a friggin message.
I like to meet MOOPeople so you're all invited to come visit. For all other information please refer to my previous post.
Thank you, and good night.
1) Brendan is pretty much the best host ever.
2) I once had a warhammer army, it had a lot of pieces. Sisters of Battle, quite appropriate. My then boyfriend bought and painted the thing, flamethrower tanks and all, including this leader lady in my likeness. I hope those who know me well see how this was a really touching thing for me, even though I have no idea how to play. Kinda like getting a surge protector for your birthday, but even better. This was the guy I started playing Sindome with as Lena, and I think on our first day in-Dome we tried to pickpocket Murphy. Later, this boyfriend logged on as me and flamed the GMs into newting my character, because he was jealous of the time I was spending playing. Ah, memories.
3) From Chicago, lived in Canada and China, seen some nice places. Relocating to Seattle now, look out west coast!
4) SD was my first M**, since 2002. Playing Navarre now but ehhh…
5) Oh, just graduated from the CGA with an EE BS.
Hope everyone had a peaceful Memorial Day. It's good to see the military and ex-military family representing here.
Best wishes to all mah Holmes, especially the Gents in MA and VA.
<edit> Oh snap, I already posted in this thread. Page uhhmmm...wassit...

Name is Johnathan, yes with a fucking 'H' before the first 'N'. You wouldn't spell John without it least you'd condemn your son to get his pansy ass kicked. As you can tell, I like many others here am quite able of making my distaste well known. Though truth be told, I'm a sweetheart (if not a little perverse).
SD isn't the first place I'd played, though it was the first RP enforced. At a younger age I tried and failed miserably. I blame it on youthful stupidity but some of you might tend to disagree with how I rp still.
I live in Jenks, Oklahoma. Jesse and I both are fortunate to have not developed the local accent…I pray my thanks for that every night.
Right now I'm busting my ass in hopes of making my way up the ladders of the gaming community. Which means, I am one of those assholes that bombards you with questions and offers at your local GameStop or EBGames. I work at the latter, but they're both owned by Barnes & Nobles anyway.
Games and books are my passion, though in my youth I drank more than I should have...smoked a little too much as well if you catch my drift ;P Beyond that though, my life is centered around my PC, my gaming platforms, work, and pleasing my sexy lady.
That's about it really...
