I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada with my fiance and our two cats Belly and Moogie (both grey). I work as a phone lackey for a large company that does outsourced tech support and customer service. I handle tech support for FedEx. It's not a bad job; I get to sit in a nice climate-controlled building all day and surf ENWorld. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> I have a BA from the U of M in History (minored in Anthropology). Unfortuneately I could have gotten the job I have now right out of high school, but it was still worth getting my degree.I started playing D&D when I was 12. Being from a small town I didn't have many people to play with so many of my first games were with my little sister. Honestly those were some really fun games in retrospect. I started playing D&D after reading R. A. Salvatore's Icewind Dale trilogy, so I owe that man a hearty handshake and thank you! I didn't really start gaming seriously until I moved to the city to attend university, where I met the friends I game with now. I play a little guitar, love watching hockey (go Habs!) but enjoy playing basketball as well. My favourite T.V show is the Simpsons, but I enjoy the Osbournes as well. My musical taste is quite varied; I love the Beatles, Black Sabbath (and Ozzy on his own), Led Zepplin, Metallica...a lot of blues (B.B King, Muddy Waters...etc), rap (Beastie Boys, Run DMC, House of Pain...etc.) and pretty much a bit of everything else <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  .  I love movies in general, am a huge Kevin Smith fan. His work is only overshadowed in my eyes by the Star Wars trilogy (episodes 4-6: the new ones are ok but I like Kevin's movies better), although the LOTR trilogy is seriously making a bid for top spot. I'm not pretending these are all the best movies ever made, but they're what I enjoy watching above others. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  I love reading, mostly fantasy but I'll read other genres as well. I've been an avid comic fan since I could read and at one point I'm sure my collection numbered well over 2000 comics (I was too lazy to really count...I had 1500 when I was 14 or so). I'm into cars as well, although I'm not much of a true gearhead (but I'm learning <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). I drive a green, 1994 Ford Taurus SHO. Although I love the true "sports cars" (yes Mr. Morrus, I'd love to have a Vanquish too), what I'd really like to do is get the body work done my car needs, then mod the engine (main focus would be to get it supercharged...it's at about 220 HP right now...I'm sure I could get it into the high 300's). I'm really a fan of the lesser-known "fast" cars; I love my SHO because there aren't that many around. But unfortuneatly I have no money and I have no idea what to do career wise! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> As for my personality; I have no idea what I'm like. I leave that up to others to decide; I basically just try to "be myself", meaning I just act as comes naturally. I like to think I'm rather open-minded and patient. I'd like to say I don't suffer fools but I don't trust my own judgement to measure foolishness, so I try to understand a person as best I can and leave my opinion of them open-ended. But I can still get po'd at the dense and ignorant like everyone else! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> That's me in a nutshell. It's an honour to meet you all. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
