Hey there, stranger.
tania:
i'm tania. i'm 21 and i live in canada. i study sociology and social psychology at the university of guelph. i joined the forum in 2005 and used to be a more frequent poster but now i sort of come and go. when i do post now it's usually to get needlessly angry about something. i am a bit more interesting on MSN and AIM but lately i don't use those much either. i spend my free time trying to be good at everything and running around flailing my arms when it inevitably doesn't work out. i'm an okay person.
Mr. Skawronska:
...and stranger still.
I'm Scott.
I started college in 86 and still haven't finished. Along the way, I've changed my major more times than a porn star changes male leads. I am categorized as a Renaissance Man/Polymath. I have a diverse skillset that includes but is not limited to: computers, locksmithing, firearms, fiction, forensics, medicine, insurance, and most aspects of security.
I'm a tragic, bitter tale of wasted youth, and I'll confess here and now, and probably never again, that yes, I do mostly say things for the reaction value.
Right now I make my money transporting critically ill patients and giving free estimates to people who are bleeding, daily thwarting natural selection much to my great disgust. I work for someone else having found out that being an expert in something does not also make you a good businessman.
Yes, I'm creepy. Yes, I'm old. But I'm not looking to date anyone or get all huggy-smoochy. I come here to relax and say things I think are funny (whether YOU do or not is your business). I have a sick sense of humor (which is where the creepiness part comes in), and I'll talk all day about myself without saying a damn thing because running my yap is something I like to do.
And I'm always astonished when someone actually LISTENS.
And finally...
*clears throat*
"YOU KIDS! GET OFFA MY LAWWWWN!!!"

Jimmy the Squid:
I'm Jimmy. I'm 22 and I live in Sydney. I have a Bachelors of Arts majoring in Psychology and a Graduate Diploma in Psychological Studies from the University of Western Sydney (basically the worst university in NSW). I did not get accepted into any of the courses I applied for this year so at the moment I guess I'm not studying anything. At the same time I can't really get a job that is at all related to my studies as I am not qualified for anything other than data analysis and I've been fired from every data analysis job I've had within three months of being hired. I currently work in an inbound call centre.
I'm about 6'1 and I weigh about 104kg (230ish pounds) as I am kind of stocky and I enjoy food. My hair changes colour periodically because I get bored often and my girlfriend is a hairdresser. I like tattoos and I don't think I have quite enough of them yet.
I mainly stick to the I Like HURRRRR section of the forums, occasionally posting in DISCUSS and the Movies, TV and Books threads. I have opinions on music but they are largely unpopular and so I never enter the Music Forum. My opinions on films are just as unpopular but I like them enough to argue my points. I've learned to stay out of the Fashion Advice thread because no one agrees with my fashion choices (I basically only wear black and it has been said that I dress like a "gay cyborg-vampire") and because I am genuinely dismayed at what everyone seems to think is good.
If you are not an utter cunt I will probably think you are pretty alright.
yelley:
hello, i'm yelley. i am 24 years old and right now i live in modesto, california. i am half filipina half french canadian, originally from southeastern michigan, but in the last 5 years i have also lived in indiana, japan, arizona, and a different city in california. i move around a lot.
i have my BS in biology from the university of notre dame, class of 2005. i spent most of my time in college studying, bowling (i was captain of the bowling team), defending my lack of faith to the mostly catholic student body (i am an atheist), and learning japanese (my minor). my original plan was to go to med school, but after i decided that i didn't want to make a hospital my number one priority in life i changed my mind. i also realized that i don't really care about people, i care about the things that kill them... i think a profession in which i had to deal with patients would have been a terrible choice for me. after college i moved to japan to work as an english teacher for one year. while i was there i saw a lot of japan, and also traveled to korea, thailand, and china. i have also been to the philippines twice, to visit my mom's family. i love to travel and i miss it now that i don't have much of an opportunity for it.
after i got back from japan i had a job making anthrax vaccine, but i got fired because of my racist macrame skills (long stupid story that most of you know already). somewhat shortly after that i found a new job that enabled me to move to california. unfortunately that job didn't work out, so i got another job that didn't work out, and now i am at my current job. basically what i am saying is that i am not very good at living in one place or keeping one job. hopefully that will change now, since i love my current job and i am happy in the city i am in. right now i am a supervisor in a food microbiology testing laboratory. it is a large lab, so we test for a lot of major food companies. if you buy food in the US, odds are my lab has tested some of it.
i first joined these forums my junior year of college, so in 2004. i guess that makes me somewhat old school? maybe. i have kind of developed a reputation as an internet predator, but only for boys named jason. while living in japan i met a qc person named jason stationed in okinawa and we dated for a while. when i moved back from japan i met another qc person named jason and we are still together. really i feel that it takes more than two occurrences to make a trend.... but i guess when you meet two guys from the same forum with the same name and sleep with both of them.... yeah, that does sound kind of bad. (don't worry redlion, i am not actually after you. the jason i have right now is pretty rad and i am very happy with him.)
when i'm not at work and not in meebly (so not very often) i like to knit, play video games, and cook. i think i am getting better that the first and third, maybe worse at the second.... these newfangled video games and their high def graphics are too much for me sometimes.
i feel like i don't get along with people very well, mostly because of The Burden/because i am pretty bitchy brutally honest a lot of the time. (The Burden... kind of a long story... just know that it involves mensa and a guy that is pretty tactless.) i am not good at telling people what they want to hear, instead i tell them what i think, and this gets me into trouble a lot. i come off as condescending, bossy, bitchy, whatever... i just can't stop myself from telling things how i see it. i try to be nice and i can force relationships if necessary, and it usually is, but there are very few people in real life that i am actually close to and open with. i feel like i have much more of a connection with my internet friends than i do with people i meet in real life... that is why i still come to these forums even though i don't really care what happens in jeph's comic anymore.
i think i am pretty interesting on paper, but in real life i disappoint. that was really long. did anyone actually read all of it?
Josefbugman:
so you are essentially a female version of house? Without the MD, and instead focussing on diseases themselves? Cool.
