Fun Stuff > CHATTER

Hey there, stranger.

Christophe:
My name is Christopher, though many just call me Chris and my usual nickname is Kazoo (as derived from my surname). I'm 21 years old as of the 7th of this month and currently a Junior at the University of California, Merced majoring in Management and minoring in Writing. I've applied for Study Abroad for next semester, so hopefully I'll be taking some business courses at the University of Glasgow this fall. I have a wonderful ladyfriend who I've been dating since late 2006. I tend to be pretty awkward around people I've never but once you've got me properly introduced and past the threshold of "so, what do you like doing?", you cannot shut me up. Does this make me some kind of attention whore? Possibly.

My interests include obscure 90s post-hardcore bands (in addition to a slew of musics of other different genres), audio recording, dystopian and science fiction literature (though I don't read as much as I used to, I need to fix that) good, potentially artery-clogging food, politics (only half the time though), et cetera. I've been playing guitar for about seven and a half years but I don't have a band since I'm too socially weird to ask other people to play a chord progression or something. To this end, I've been playing drums for about seven months and I think I'm good enough to record myself. So I did. I also play some bass and keyboards, though I pretty much suck at the latter. I'd post a link to my music but I think it would be spamming on any board but the music forum.

I hope this is rad enough, because I have to pack up and have breakfast before I drive back to my hometown in about... oh, three or so hours?

ViolentDove:
Hello there Darryl.

I'm Nick, one of the Australian contingent- currently living in Sydney, though I'm not originally from here. I'm a scientist, journalism student, and occasional musician/DJ when I find the time to organise gigs or someone convinces me to play for fun, free booze or money. I also design stuff for a hobby, and briefly flirted with the idea of selling some of the things I've designed until I realised I knew nothing about business, manaufacturing, and so on. I'm generally pretty easy-going personality-wise, though I do tend to over think things. While I guess I'm pretty outgoing in meatlife (though I didn't used to be), I'm somewhat shy on the internet. I have deleted many more posts than I've actually written on these forums. I've stuck around because I find the majority of people here to be genuinely engaging, knowledgeable and humorous, which is actually pretty rare as far as forums go.

Anyway, cheers for starting this thread.

My name is Michael. I have two middle names: they are "Christopher" and "James". I usually omit the James though because every male on my mother's side of the family has James as either a first or middle name after my grandfather. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against my grandfather. I actually look up to him more than anyone in the world. He doesn't even go by James himself; he goes by Bert.

Lots of people think I am a jerk when they first meet me because I have pretty flat affect most of the time. I have been told I have a very soothing voice and that I should read books on tape for a living. I think that would be a pretty excellent job.

I write a lot, but mostly just lists of ideas or single sentences. Sometimes I write short stories. I once wrote a story about a man who goes to the grocery store every Wednesday to buy two kiwis because that is what his dead wife Etheline used to do when she was alive. His name was Mr Green. He was very human. The story was called "Kiwi Day!".

Liz:
Hello Darryl!

My name is Elizabeth, but I go by Liz. I am 21 year old female hailing from Minnesota, but I live in Fargo right now to attend school. I'm studying anthropology and history because I like old things and dead people I guess. (Dead people don't complain as much, see). I am excited to graduate so I can get the hell out of this wintry prison. A little store called Bath and Body Works provides my employment by having me lift boxes of shampoos and slather smelly lotions all over the people that come in through the doors. It is a good job.

When I am not working or schooling or sleeping or eating I can normally be found on the internet. It is kind of my thing. Otherwise I spend a fair amount of time sewing, baking, cooking, cleaning, or watching movies. This past Christmas I got a sewing machine and kitchen supplies so I guess I am turning into a little housewife. This is maybe not a bad thing, I cannot decide.

If I have enough money, I am going to be traveling a fair amount this year. For spring break I will probably be taking a road trip to Tennessee with a charter bus full of rad people, and doing some volunteer work. This summer I am am applying for a super awesome internship that I would kill to get (not literally, I am no criminal), and if I get it I will be spending eight weeks in Ohio staring at bones. It would be the Best Thing. Aaaand then there is Chicagocon where I will meet/make out with the internet for a while, so that should be rad.

I think maybe I am a little boring. Oh well.
