Been getting to know some of you over on the RP threads and it's been a hoot. Kind of got to wondering some things, though. What is the average age and occupation of nerds like us? Me? I'm 34 and own/operate a renovation company. |

I could go on and on and on about some interesting bit of historical trivia until you either drop dead of boredom or threaten to punch me if I don't shut up... Anyway, I'm just under six months younger than Arpeggi (gosh darn it, am I the youngest person here???), and I have never gone to public school in my life. Due to this, I tend to feel just a little uncomfortable whenever my family goes to some event or other that's held at a school. Also, I'm a bit of a personal Grammar Nazi, and I don't really like abbreviations like "lol" or "ikr". I won't deny other people their use, but I don't use them myself (at least not very often).

I'm from the New Jersey part of the New York Metropolitan area. I'm 14, making me the youngest here. I'm interest in theater, and I'm playing the comic-relief role of radio MC, Bert Healy, in the school's spring production of Annie. I'm also in school chorus, orchestra, and I do track in the spring. I'm not fast, but I like getting the exercise. When I get older, I either want to be an actor or director, become a lawyer or politician, or go into business. | |||

About me, you say? Well: I'm 17, making me one of the young(er) ones here, and am currently living in the US, but was born/lived in China for a good portion of my life. I moved over to the US in '07, and still kinda miss China, even though I was only 11 when I left. By no means, however, does that mean I dislike it here. I'm an active member of my school's band (both concert and marching), gracing the band room with the sounds of my alto saxophone, and am also an active member of our tennis team. Usually, I'm allergic to pictures of me, but I like this one. ![]() You want to mess with me, kid? My name is Mike [last name redacted], as you could probably guess from my username. Aside from being an altoholic, I also work on computers as a pastime. I also do a bit of gaming on Steam. You can add me - my user name is mikeraven1. Other things about me: I'm considered the most diplomatic out of my little group of friends, and also the most sarcastic. I can speak fluent Mandarin Chinese and English, and am working on Spanish. Como estas, senor? I'm the most feminine out of the tennis team. ![]() There are exactly two pictures I like of myself. The one up there, and this one. ![]() Follow me! |

Me Chapter 1 I'm 33, from Australia about an half an hour south of USR, I was accepted into Uni for a Bachelor of Business with a Major in Financial Management, but left the day before I was meant to start so I could take up a job offered to me by a guy on a train (Because he thought I looked strong enough and was he was desperately short handed) He offered me six figures a year to work in construction so I did. I used the money to travel whenever I had the chance I spent 5 years in construction, 5 years in Working Deep freeze (-35) and 3 years as Queensland Area Manager for a National Oil company, I've spent the last two years working independently but will probably head back to freezers now that the baby is on the way (I like the cold and they pay well). I also started Uni again a few years ago but am only doing subjects slowly due to the time constraints of real life I am studying Economics with a minor in Chinese language. I speak conversational level Japanese (And am surprisingly better when I am drunk) I feel inadequate about my language skills as my partner speaks fluent Bahasa Indonesian (Like she was born there fluent even though she is Croatian) and from that can understand and converse in several SE Asian Languages She has also won a young Australian of the year award for her services to youth education Not my achievement but I am proud of her |

I'm 16, high school kid, live in Oregon. No, i'm not a hippy nor a very many people here despite popular belief. Planning on going to collage and all that. Not sure what I want to do with my future, perhaps politics but i'd prefer something that's actually contributing but physical to keep me active. Currently, i'm enjoying summer. Chilling with friends and kicking it on NS and scolding at Facebook. Planning on doing some sports this year, big in cross country, track and on the powerlifting team. |

I'm 23 and live in Missouri, USA. I attend Missouri State University as a Masters student pursuing my Masters of Public Administration. I currently work for a trade association as their government relations coordinator (I'm not a lobbyist, but I work with a lot of lobbyists). The best part is that I am getting married in December to the woman I've loved for 6 and a half years now. My hobbies apart from politics (is it really a hobby when it's a career?) are graphic design, singing bass in my church choir, reading, watching science fiction shows (ie Doctor Who, Stargate, ST:NG, Firefly), and it was playing in my collegiate marching band until I graduated from my undergrad. I have read two of Max Barry's books, Jennifer Government and Lexicon. My favorite books of all time are Don Quixote, The Chronicles of Narnia series, and My Sister's Keeper. |
