Hey there, stranger.

Hey guys, I'm Ben. I really don't know what to write in this. I mean, I have been around here since the forum started 2003 and posted fairly consistently throughout, so if you don't know much about me by now then dang what is your problem.

Stop being silly, est.

Hey Darryl,
I've been here mostly consistently since I think the summer of 2006 when I lived in Richmond Hill which is just north of Toronto and totally lame. Then I stuck around for a while with a few periods of not being here in between. Back when I first joined I would have jumped at the idea of painting a picture of myself for everyone else to see but now I am just kind of eh towards it.
I think you remember my name? You have probably seen me naked on facebook.
I am just about done a BMath degree (yes a BMath, not a BSc or BA in math) in Applied Mathematics from the university of Waterloo. I felt some kinship with that James from Australia who was also in math and is going bald (not actually bald, as he might have you believe) as well but he is not here anymore. I think he is off doing exciting things?
I like to bake and am at a loss for what to do with my life. Maybe I will bake. People tell me I should and that this is a good thing to do, but honestly I am kind of scared and it is a little weird to just branch out and do a thing like that even though I kind of want to and that's sort of what I had in mind when I started this math degree four and a bit years ago but still I find myself a little bit irritated every time someone says 'you should be a baker' because I am afraid of change and that'd be a big change and a big thing to do and man is it your life you're suggesting should just go in this weird different direction it is easier to hide from reality than face it ugh whatever.
I keep trying to sort out some music. I may end up making music with a friend from ages ago if he moves out this way and I haven't left.
I am unhappy a lot of the time, and I think this is because I am not doing enough with my life (I feel like I am doing very little and I feel like I don't have enough of a social net) but I am doing not enough because I don't care enough about my life.
Apparently I am Roast Beef. I don't read Achewood.
P.S. I am 22 and it sounds like that is the age to be?

It is a suitably geeky story. When deciding on a name for my Wizard in EverQuest way back in uh, I dunno, 1999? I used Estarriol, as one of my favourite fantasy series' is Wizard of Earthsea. My guildmates would shorten it to "Est" because people are generally lazy. I liked it, so I used it as my online alias from then on.
