Alright, new forum, so it's time for a community bonding exercise.

Basically it's any five random things that you feel comfortable sharing about who you are.

I'll go first:

1) I was born in Washington, was raised in Oregon, lived in Wyoming for a few years, lived for a few months in Arizona, and have lived most of my life here in Michigan. I am thinking about moving to New York next year for my career.

2) I was born on 5/25 in room #5 at 5:55 A.M

3) I was pronounced dead out of the womb, revived 2 minutes later and had to be transported by helicopter to a better equipped hospital.

4) I have an over obsessed ex girlfriend who sends me a monthly "You are an idiot" E-mail Shocked

5) I am moving to Australia for 6 months in April! w00t!

[shruikan]

1.) I love to snowboard and actually dislocated my shoulder doing so this season

2.) I have never broken a bone in my body.

3.) The first game I ever rented I stole.

4.) I used to eat rolley polleys and play dough as a kid

5.) Was nearly shocked to death by a VCR after pulling out the plug.

[Risha]

Hmm, this might be tough, but I will give it a shot. Everyone seems to mention stuff about their birth, so I'll try that too.

1) I was born 5 weeks premature. Nothing really interesting about that except I showed up early.

2) I am the only NATURAL blonde in my entire family, including my extended family (IE: aunts, uncles, grandparents).

3) I was the head of an Anime Club during high school, and every thursday we'd get together in one of the classrooms and watch anime. Twice a year we'd have an "Anime Night" with prizes and pizza and lots of fun stuff. The club kinda vanished after I graduated though

4) I have 17 piercings (I'm sure some of you knew that) and 4 tattoos. I want to get at least one more tattoo, then I'll be good.

5) My first "relationship" was actually with a girl, when I was 13. I've dated more girls than guys for some reason.

[Brad]

1. I was on the Speech and Debate Team in high school. I was a kick ass debater.

2. A Link to the Past is my second favorite game of all time, and I have never officially (or actually) beaten Ocarina of Time or Windwaker.

3. I'm 6'5 but look at most 6'0. Even up close.

4. I love a good romantic movie. Before Sunrise/Before Sunset (I consider them as one) are in my top 3 movies of all time.

5. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and work at a job you could get w/o ever graduating high school.

[Nick]

Couple things first... Risha.... thats hot. Second, Brad was not a great debator, he was the master-debator. Now my turn.

1.) I have lived most of my life in Austin Texas but not live in San Marcos for College even though I still work in Austin.

2.) I listen to all sorts of Rock music and absolutely love going to concerts. One of my favorite places to be is in the pit right in front of the stage so that I have easy access to moshing and crowd surfing:). In fact you can check out a video I shot at a Breaking Benjamin concert here in Austin. They are doing a cover of Aenima by tool and it was amazing.

3.) I have worked with David at an "undisclosed Video Game Retailer" (that i'm sure you all recognize) for about 3 years now. I quit a different job that paid me a whole 2 dollars more because I love this job.

4.) I pretty much pre-order every game that I buy. There are a few exceptions but my reserve list has like 20 things on it.

5.) I am a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel. Seeing both of those shows go off the air (after an impressive run on TV i might add) was a tragic day for me.

[Sax]

1. I live in Manitoba, Canada.

2. I've moved around 5 different times when I was younger, because of my dads job.

3. I have never beaten Ocarina of Time ethier, I beat the forest temple as Adult Link, right after that the game froze and my save was corrupt. I was dispirited and didn't want to do the Kid Link temples all over again.

4. I am almost failing at Art, because of my lack of interest in the boring projects we're doing.

5. Legend of Dragoon > Final Fantasy VII

[Vindicator]

1) I live in Ajax, Ontario. Because of violence in Toronto, most parents brought their children here to "get away from it all". What's stupid about this is that those kids are the problem and I have to live around these jerks.

2) I'm the only hardcore metalhead in my neighbourhood. Because of this, I have a bad rep among most of the kids who try to act all hard and tough when they're only 4'9 and I'm a full foot taller than them.

3) I've had surgery. I do not wish to discuss this because it's too d**n funny....yet awkward.

4) I like playing around with electronic musical tools like sequencers and mixers. I also love my guitar almost as much as my lady-friend (COMPETITION ZOMG)

5) I love the colour black.

[Stephen]

1. I have been dating my girlfriend, my first girlfriend, for four years and we have only lived in the same city for three months. The other 3.75 years, she always lived at least an hour away from me, usually more.

2. My dad is 6'3, and I have a brother (Brad) who is 6'5. I am not even 5'9. yay.

3. I had a fro th rough most of high school.

4. Because I listened to it when I was growing up. My favorite kind of music is '80s music, followed by oldies.

5. I like video games a lot, even though I have never owned a console. Most of my adoration for said video games come from (ironically) watching my brother Brad play them. Which is why favorites are some of his as well.
