[QUOTE="HellHound, post: 1042735, member: 3397"] 31 years old, married with two kids. Did very well in High School until it bored me. Dropped out of Honours Biochemistry in second year and became a professional body piercer and industrial music DJ. Went back to school several years later in Machining, but dropped out hwne I got a big industrial job in my home town. Moved back home to the farm I grew up on with my wife and kids and worked in the steel mill for 5 years before being laid off for a year. Just before being laid off, started e-publishing d20 books under my wife's company name of Ambient Inc. (which were quite the success). Got recalled to the Mill, and have just finished getting fired as of this week (well, tomorrow). I'm overweight and have poor willpower at best (thus I have never seriously lost weight). I don't drink very often (four or five times a year), but when I do, I drink a lot. I don't do a lot of drugs (anymore), but have a love for the ritual intake of Lysergic Acid twice a year on the longest and shortest nights of the year. When depressed, I resort to shopping for RPG stuff to cheer me up. The result is that I own over 100 different RPGs now (I think the count is 117), and I tweak ALL of them before playing them. I love organization, but am poorly organized because I do it in spurts when it interests me. Once it becomes important or mandatory, I lose interest in it (I am quite the procrastinator). I grew up with hippies and thus am very 'liberal' in outlook and couldn't imagine living anywhere but Canada except possibly one of the very liberal countries in Europe. Over the last two years I have discovered something new about myself. I LOVE selling stuff. In fact, I love it enough that I am going back to school this September in order to take Business Management & Marketing. Although I hate wearing a tie, I am willing to wear a suit all day if it means never having to work night shifts at a steel mill again. I'm a fervent Discordian (and am considering doing a Principia D20 Discordia as a joke for April 2004), neo-pagan, santerian, who-knows-what personal religion I have built up for myself. I don't see myself as VERY religious, but I certainly have my beliefs in higher powers. I've been married for 7 years to a lovely woman whom I met through the BBS (old-school forums) and S&M scene. We have two lovely daughters. Our farmhouse is slowly collapsing around us, but as it does, we get to look out over 200 acres of farmland. [/QUOTE]
