... and Don't Say Althanas! Lol.

[Storm Veritas]

Let's see here, seems I've been down this road before...

My name is Bob. I'm 28. I'm happily married and purchased a house this year. No kids yet, but maybe around spring next year we pull the goalie and start trying. I also recently took a new job, a pretty big risk/reward situation where I moved from an R&D group leader to a sales specialist. It's gone well so far, but given the economic climate I'm still walking on eggshells.

It was a career move I chose to transition faster from engineering to management. I wanted to get some commercial experience to bridge the gaps in my workforce skills, and so far so good. I'm also going to school at nights for my MBA. All of these things somehow keep me between "very" and "obscenely" busy.

When I -do- get some free time, I tend to abuse it. I like to run every morning to get the day going, and although I'm not as quick as I was a few years ago I'm still pretty well conditioned. I'd like to get back into lifting as well, but that probably isn't going to happen.

I love sports; I'm a huge Boston area sports fan, so the Red Sox / Patriots / Celtics have been great to watch lately. I played football through college; great times!

I love movies, and the wife and I routinely abuse Netflix to entertain us on nights that I am ready to pass the f* out.

Music is not a big part of my life, but I listen to an eclectic blend of classic rock, modern day rock, and sprinkles of rap.

I don't really play any video games anymore. I play Runescape (because it's mindless), but only really when I can do it alongside working on something else. I'll occasionally pop in an old version of Madden football or something. I used to play a billion RPGs, but they just don't really pull me anymore.

And of course, I've spent a bit of time here, and while those hours have become more and more scarce, for me they are more and more treasured.

Welcome back, Storm! We miss you!

EDIT: Wewt, Jas! I didn't know you like the Redwall series as well!

[Nautilus]

Ah, I used to love Redwall. Still have a fondness for it.

Well, the intro does in fact say conversation is allowed and I'm not going to debate the issue any longer. If people don't wanna read conversation, then they don't have to open the thread. Simply put. No one's forcing anyone to communicate and read or whatever. =D Lol.
Cause originally I intended people to be able to converse about things that everyone had in common, but it seems that if I don't MAP OUT exactly what can and can't happen in the thread, people seem to get a little bent out of shape. ;X

Bob - dude. I cracked up hardcore at your wording of "pulling the goalie" Lolol.... Good luck with your job man, I know the feeling TOTALLY... x__x!

Advent - Redwall is pretty much the first book I read that put me into really diggin' role play and the anthro idea. <3

Admin note: Stop trolling the issue. Final warning.

[Visla Eraclaire]

Uh oh, final warning.

You know I have never read Redwall or even heard of it until undergrad. Apparently it has a very strong following, and people loved it as kids. I'm surprised I never encountered it in my youth when I might have read it.

Now it seems far too furry to me.

[Irene]

Until this very moment, I never heard of Redwall.

And now, more about me.

I suffered a double fractured skull when I was a year old. Appearently it was cause enough to remove me from my mother's home. My grandmother rescued me though, and after a few months, was allowed to live with my mother again. How did this happen you ask? No one seems to know, I just "magically" suffered a double skull fracture, because as everyone knows it's perfectly normal for children to suffer such serious injuries. Oh well, I guess such knowledge isn't needful.

Althy related: I'm writing in Microsoft word, a massive quest featuring My six characters. It's probably going to be about 600 posts long. I'm not joking either.
It's the first major thread in my character's stories, revolving around an extra-dimensional super entity known as The Dark Man.
