[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 2459777, member: 1515"] I'm a 40-year-old man. I've got the ears of a 60-year-old (thanks to a Motorhead concert in 1985, where I was about 15 feet from the amps), but the eyes of a 20-year old. I was born in California, grew up in Wisconsin, and have spent my adult life in Illinois. Someday, I plan to move back to Wisconsin, and maybe teach. When I was a kid, they very nearly skipped me ahead a grade in school; I think my mom talked them out of it. For which, in retrospect, I'm grateful. I was miserable in high school, but loved college, where I finally found people with whom I could fit in with my nerdy hobbies and interests. I've got a bachelor's degree in marketing, and a master's in market research. When I was 18, I was dating a 32-year-old divorcee. My parents weren't happy, but it sure seemed like the thing to do at the time. I've been Catholic, I've been an evangelical Christian, and now I'm a Lutheran, and comfortable with it, and my faith. I've got a beautiful wife, with whom I've shared the past 13 years. We weren't successful in starting a family, and we've finally come to terms with that. We have a blind dog, and a cat who acts like a dog. I'm an ENFP. I spent the first 10 years of my career working in market research, for two different consumer-products companies. I've spent the past 5 years working for an ad agency, doing much the same kind of work, but enjoying it a lot more. I actually had an interview with WotC to be their director of market research, though it didn't pan out. An estimated 86% of my brain matter is occupied with trivia. My wife calls me "The Font of Useless Knowledge." No one will play Trivial Pursuit with me anymore. :) I have Green Bay Packers season tickets, and a share of stock in the team. I'm mostly Irish. When I went to Ireland a decade ago, I ran into a man who looked like he could have been my identical twin brother. I've been playing RPGs for the past 23 years. Through the game, I've met more good friends than I can count on both hands and both feet, including the aforementioned beautiful wife, who loves RPGs, too. And, yes, I recognize that I am one lucky S.O.B. :) [/QUOTE]
