Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Hey there, stranger.
Oli:
Hello,
My name is Oli and I am in my second year of study at the University of Glasgow (Christophe get in touch if you're coming in autumn) in Glasgow, Scotland. I study English literature and Philosophy and am intending to take either a single honours degree in English literature or a joint honours degree combining both English literature and Philosophy in my 3rd and 4th years. The areas I particularly enjoy are Post-Modernism, Modernism and 20th Century American Literature.
Probably my favourite book is The Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis, but some days I think The Subterraneans by Jack Kerouac is the bee's knees.
I love an awful lot of music - what a surprise! - and if pressed I'd probably call Deerhoof my favourite band, or at least the time I saw them my favourite gig. I have a drum kit in my attic and I used to play all the time, but I couldn't play for my first year of Uni (the drum kit living not with me) and have not really picked it back up. I have played a few gigs in Glasgow with a band I used to be in and I have some fun stories from them; I guess if you ask me nicely I will tell you them.
Another thing I do is cooking. Sometimes I cook big meals for lots of people and that is a lot of fun. I got some excellent non-stick cake tins for last Christmas and that made me pretty happy.
Sometimes I like to write and I am pretty terrified at the prospect of entering the Real World.
I joined the forum in November 2005 after my discovery of Nothing Nice To Say in September of that year caused a foray into the world of web comics. My username was originally Nolaw_Nocrime because of a song by The Damned. I am so punx.
Social Bacon:
Hi, I'm Bryce, I hail from 6' up and weigh in at 140lbs. I'm a student in Ottawa studying economics and math while doing volunteer work in Parliament. I tend to be pretty quiet as I like to keep my opinions to myself. I'm an avid skier and biker and am learning how to play hockey in this frozen city. Je suis essaye etudier Francais parce que je veux travailler au Parliament. I'm going to spend my summer camping in Nothern Ontario while working for a reforestation company. For fun I read everything I can get my hands on, play the sax, drink coffee, meditate, drink beer, and smoke weed.

My first impression of you was a lady on an internet forum with a modblog avatar. Clearly you are not as bad as you think you are.

You thought I was a dude on the internet forum with a modblog avatar. :C

I would say you know me Darryl, but then again we don't really talk. I'm Matt, I'd say sovereign of the Intro threads but I don't like having a big head.
I'm a hefty 20 year old college student working towards being a mortician. I enjoy many video games, any piece of literature I can get my hands on, and any piece of music that I can dance to in my own nerdy way.
I like to look on the bright side of things, and despite all the things that I have dragging me down I think I do pretty well.
Besides being hefty I hear I'm a pretty big guy. I currently stand at 6'2".
Elizzybeth:
Hi!
My name's Elizabeth, but I go by Elizzybeth around here. I joined the forum in June 2007 and lurk a lot more than I post. I'm working toward an M.A. in English literature on the Central Coast of California, living with my computer programmer boyfriend, and working as a tutor at the writing lab on campus. I grew up in Los Angeles, where I started university at the age of not-quite-thirteen through a special program. Sometimes I worry that my relative youth--I'm 18 now--is the only thing I've got going for me, and once I'm the same age as my colleagues, a gong will sound somewhere in the cosmos and everyone will realize that I'm not actually very interesting at all.
Though I read voraciously and indiscriminately, F. Scott Fitzgerald is currently my favorite novelist and E.E. Cummings is my favorite poet. I listen to a lot of Elliott Smith and Wilco, and I just came upon five gigabytes of solo piano music that I'm absolutely loving (the Chopin's great). I took ten years of piano lessons and eight years of violin lessons, but I don't play much anymore except for laying down occasional background tracks for this apocalyptic concept album a friend devised while on acid.
I lived in Italy for three months with a family of architects, playing au pair to their children and attending Italian-for-second-language-learners classes at a local high school.
I was raised Quaker. My favorite food is raw tomatoes, but spaghetti and steamed spinach are close.
