Message: <blockquote data-quote="fuindordm" data-source="post: 2468489" data-attributes="member: 5435">34, Male.I grew up in Rhode Island and went to Brown University.  I had lots of geeky friends and a few amusing adventures, but didn't get into any serious trouble. I did a lot of technical theater as well as physics, almost double-majoring.  I joined a fraternity, something I swore I would never do, full of gaming and stroytelling geeks just like me (Delta Psi).After college I took a year off to bum around in an all-too-dirty apartment with a couple of friends, and we played uan awful lot of RPGs.  Mostly we were slackers such as those immortalized in the card game Chez Geek, down to the Ramen Noodle Iron Chef cook-offs.I missed learning physics, so I went to Ann Arbor, Michigan and started working on the PhD.  I made a lot of geeky friends there, too--the guy I stayed with when I came to visit the campus invited me to a game of Cosmic Encounter with his friends.  Score!I met my wife there at a party that both of us were dragged to, and my future changed forever.  Sandrine was from Marseille, and I began studying French and rediscovered a love for foreign languages that had been misplaced after high school.  After I graduated we moved to California to follow my research career, which for various reasons was rather disagreeable.  Not enjoying CA very much, I landed a research contract in Paris and we moved here last year.We've got a 3-yr old daughter, are loving life in France, and I'm sick of research and looking for some other career.  Life is good, and I still game.  I found my current Parisian group on EN World (through Turanil), and they're a lot of fun.I enjoy the conversations I read and sometimes join on this board, and value it highly.  It's been fun reading these resumés.Cheers,Ben</blockquote>
