So, I've finally found my way to the forums. Yay!
I shot an email back in... November...? I think? I'd check my email client, but I don't have that kind of time right this instant.
A bit about me: I'm Guard, have been deployed to Iraq for the past year and doing absolutely nothing but living on the gravy train for a bit--and driving up and down Route Irish several times a day. Fortunately, I never felt that I was in danger, and never saw much of anything. (BTW, I can already hear the hate coming my way: ZOMG-BabyKiller!-ArmyDouche!-Terrorist!-etc. Go ahead, bring it. It doesn't phase me.) Granted, I've also come to the end of my tour in Iraq. Still very much in the hole, money-wise, and I have nothing to go home to. Damn
I was directed to QC via XKCD whilst he was down with the personal issues. I became addicted and read through the entire series. Twice. I don't really have a favorite character--I enjoy them all. I can even tell you exactly who would be whom in my personal realm of (ersatz-)friends.
Anyways, just saying hi to the community, can't wait to hang out around here.
