Hey Santas/WhoTF are you?
 

I was thinking about what to get my naughty child, and I was thinking it might be a good idea to kind of update our profiles on eachother, so that we might have a better idea of what to give eachother. Really, I've known you all for many years... and so I assume I know the simpleton I knew those years ago. In reality, I don't know much of any of you anymore.
So not only people participating in the secret santa exchange... but we should all post a blurb about ourselves and our interests. I guess I'll go first.

The name is Neil. I'm in first year university, future prospects undecided. I have tons of inteterests, and this is mirrored in the fact that I still haven't decided what I want to go to school for. I might major in psychology (most likely candidate), but there's also philosophy, religious studies, and anthropology. My intellectual affiliation is Ken Wilber's Integral movement. My musical tastes are pretty diverse, and I like to hear what people (with developed musical tastes) think is 'really good'. I love movies, and am working up a small DVD collection. I'm not much of a gamer anymore, I play UT now and then to kill time, my PC doesn't run UT2004 that well.
Umm... I guess that's all you really need to know without getting personal.

my name is johnny; i'll be graduating from a computer programming and analysis college course in the spring. even though i, more or less, hate computers and the internet now, i'm still interested by programming, so i'll be looking to get a real job (in my field) starting this summer.

but really, my biggest interest is music. i listen to music all the time, and i can play a few instruments almost well: the guitar, bass guitar, and mandolin. also, as of pretty recently, i am a member of a band. we are pretty great. 8)


other interests include: hockey :cry:, consumption of alcoholic beverages, and hanging out with friends and/or family.

Hey Johnny, you been playing with The Visit? Rock on!

yea. how'd you hear?

Who else would you be playing with? GWAR?

i'm andrew, raub himself if you're nasty.

i play guitar, looking into starting a tongue-in-cheek band with a few people. i play videogames, but not so much this semester. i co-run good-evil with creeper. i love music more than almost anything.

i'm a loner, TTTers, a rebel.

i'm pretty much a loner by nature, too. it's not that i don't enjoy being around my friends and family, because i do. it's just that i tend to be just as content when i'm by myself. ::shrug::

i'm actually not a loner, it just sounded like a cool thing to say. i'd much rather be with friends 90% of the time. Sadly, during fall/spring semesters, this doesn't happen.

I spend about 90% of my time hugging my girlfriend. That's all! Just hugging!

I've always been able to do the loner bit, and not very good at doing the social bit. So it's good for me to learn how to live life with other people. It's a totally different experience, and they each have their pros and cons. Balance, I say.

"who wants to live with a bunch of loser faggots!?!," i say.

I'm Jesse, I'm 19. Digital Media Production major. As of late, I've enjoyed doing a lot of video editing and stuff. As well as filming and all that jazz.

Like everybody here, I like music a lot.

I play guitar. Not really sure what else to say.

Edit:

Scott, 22 Live in Northern Ohio. Interests include Computers (overclocking and such), Muisc (ill take an ear to just about anything), and Gaming (not so much anymore sine I have no time). But my biggest interest as of now is Cars. I drag race my Grand Prix at Norwalk Raceway. In the fall me and my girlfriend broke up but Im still madly in love with her. I'm curently going to school for Communications Arts Tech. Might switch to Visual Communications Tech tho. But no worries im not going to graduate any time soon. Im restricted to taking night classes because my crappy m-f 9-5 job so i can pay for school...

I think I figured out what to get my person. Hopefully he/she will like it. It's only going to cost me a few bucks, but it's something that can be enjoyed endlessly.

Jesse that is without a doubt one of the less disturbing things i've seen all day.

Like, seriously? Why would you just post that? It's not like it affects me at all...

::is tempted to post melon.jpg::

I've changed a lot since the olden days of this site.

My name is Mike, I'm 20, Political Science major (Double minor in History and Theology, concentration in Philosophy) at Assumption College, in my junior year. I work at a Real Estate law firm in Worcester, Massachusetts, and in the IT department at my school.

Like post, I play some sort of musical instrument... I play the piano, harmonica, and handdrums, while mildly playing guitar. I'm a republican and enjoy debating various things... Philosophy, theology, politics, other. I play basketball and in my spare time, develope for Half-Life 2.

I guess the biggest change that's taken place in my life is, three years ago, after some years of 'research' I became a deist, and specifically, a non-denominational Christian. It's probably changed my life, ideologically, more so than anything else.

I've been dating my girlfriend for about 20 months or so... and it's cool.
Mike

Mike I would love to be your roommate.

Do you consider yourself to have better reasons for being a Republican than most Republicans?

Or, phrased a little more bluntly, do you consider yourself smarter than most people who are Republican?

Hello, I'm Zach Patterson. I am at school in northeastern PA, and I am a junior with a major in comp sci.

i'm big into music, mainly hard rock, metal, 90's, industrial and video game stuff. i play lots of games, but recently have been limited to older classics due tio money constraints. Speaking of money, I am ridiculously poor, so expect my secret santa to reflect that. I used to be a huge comic collector, but again money has confined me to only buying a few here and there. i'm on computers way too much.

i love me some good-evil.net, which i update every thursday with something (usually). i design sites in my spare time for bands and others (temp sound solutions, jenova project, etc). i'm a democrat. I've been with my girlfriend for 2.5 years now. i dont exercise enough. i like twizzlers waaaaaay too much. andrew raub is my pal. not a lot has changed for me while in college.

im northern cross, I like software, piracy, and all things hacky/dark. I like books, learning, and helping people. I'm interested in martial arts, so anyone whos getting me a present, whomever they may be.. ::rolls eyes:: I'd prolly appreciate books about that, or a knife or something... or a book with a knife on it!

i'm sam, 13. 8th grade. currently attending a democratic k12 private school. i love it, for real.

like all the rest of you i'm into music a lot, and the whole production process gets me excited. I'd really enjoy being a studio engineer or working at a record label, something like that, some day. I'm in a band, which spans a few styles. We just like to have fun, most of our songs are of a jokey subject matter. We'd be nothing without my friend Zak, an AWESOME guitarist. In the band I either play drums (semi-decently) or sing backup, and I started taking guitar lessons around april. got my first electric a few weeks ago, love it.

I also kind of have a thing for archiving things, I think I might like to have a job where I'd get to do that sometime.

i still have a website kicking around, some of you might remember the address, though it's nothing like the olden days and any of the visitors are IRL friends, so i'm not gonna put said address here.

ps, i love beck.

Hey kid.... you're alright!

My name is Marshall Armstrong Ashford and I am 19 years old. I am currently attenting the State University of West Georgia majoring in Business Information systems. I dont have a job and rely on magic for money right now. I play magic the gathering very regularly and hope to quality for the next Pro-tour. I travel sometimes for magic too. Anyone got a place for me in Boston in the beginning of february?

There really isnt much too me. Im an average guy and not very exciting. When im not in school I am either playing magic or at peoples houses. Never go anywhere or do anything.

I guess thats it.

i'm christine merker. i'm a junior in high school and i fence... alot. i also enjoy photoshopping and other various art forms, which is what i spend the rest of my time doing. i hate that i have no life outside of fencing work and school, oh yeah, and i hate my job, but will be getting a cooler one soon. i'm not poor at all, because i work my ass off... but i'll be a decent person and stay under the $20 limit...

question about that.. does $20 include shipping, or just item price?

i don't think my item is going over the $3 limit
suckers!

I don't think anyone's technical about the rules, christine... do what you're comfortable with.

Btw, how'd your knee doing?

indeed, my gift is going to be from the vault of shit i already own. dont worry, it will still be amazing.

oh mine will be too, hopefully.

I'm going to buy for my person this weekend, and hopefully have it shipped out by Monday.

Oh, and the picture. I was talking to my friend (ex-girlfriend) Jen on AIM, and she sent it. I figured it would help this thread.

alright, well cool. :)
knee's fine..actually, better than fine... it's better than it ever has been. has been for a while (since.. oh, say... at least a year an a half ago)

gift sent. hope you like it.

somebody better be sending me a [really superawesome] gift! 8) 8) 8)

i changed my idea for my gift, it may actually cost money and be totally awesome now. regardless, i'm going out for it now and sending it out tomorrow.

hope you guys like cds of gay porn! and by gay porn, I mean a real gift!

sweet, my present is ready. hope it gets there intact.

so since i'm a terrible person i'm really late... it'll come to whomever it should. i promise, just give me a day or two to get it, and then another to send it out. it will come. i swear! (just maybe after xmas) i'm so sorry. but with fencing and being out of town all weekend, and oh man, i'm sorry

Re: Hey Santas/WhoTF are you?
 

I consider myself a Republican because I'm fiscally conservative, believe in small federal government, big corporation, less spending, less taxation. I also tend to follow the Anti-Federalists above the Federalists, with less emphasis placed on the executive branch. I also slightly lean towards Libertarianism, as I believe moreso in autonomous states, with states rights, than an overbearing federal gov't.

Most Republicans that I know of, those who are my friends and those who I work with, or hear about, usually have pretty good reasons for being Republicans. I don't know many Republicans who don't know why they're Republicans, where as, conversely, you see that a lot with many young-Democrats... though, that could be because I'm from Massachusetts, the most Democratic/Liberal state in the US... and a lot of them are fucking morons... so who knows?

I consider myself the smartest man in the world. So, yeah... that covers most of the bases.

thanks to raub who was my sexy santa this year...

apologies to my leaptian, its been a sooper busy week so you'll prolly recieve the package within a week... mucho aplogizing to whomever that is...


(just remember, I'm the ONLY one here, whose ever used the correct form of who like above)

jep did you like the gift? i hope so, man, i didn't have much else to give.
