I'm curious about all you people. Let's get a mini-bio thing going. I wanna know where you're from, how old (too lazy to load all your profiles), what you do, hobbies, etc.

I'll start:

I'm Corey. I work as a software engineer (web developer) at WebMD. I recently got engaged. I live in the Portland area of Oregon (Beaverton to be precise). My primary hobbies are web design and playing guitar. I've played guitar for like 10 years or so and have to say it's pretty awesome. In my spare time I work on a website called 'the Mixtape Collective' that started out as a school project and is evolving into (i think) a pretty badass website.

Okay, your turn.

Oh and I'm 23.

I'm Carl, I'm 15 and discovered this site when someone mentioned it in a journal on Last.Fm. I live in East Grinstead a small town in West Sussex, England. I also play guitar and have formed a band with some guys from school.

I'm Alex. I like to have adventures and I also like to use my imagination. I enjoy learning as long as it's not forced upon me. I'm a big fan of yellow and black together, they're my favourites. I also really enjoy elephants and I have a collection of them...not of real ones of course, but of elephant memorabilia. I have a crappy job at a convenience store which I work at so I can run away to England again next week. After that I'm starting university in the fall and I don't like the program I'm in because it seems a little boring, but since I'm indecisive I haven't really changed my program and I'm just taking courses which will not get me anywhere in life, like what science fiction's affect on today's society is. I live in Ontario in a crappy town, but like I said, I'm moving in 2 weeks so that's pretty irrelevant.

My name is Woody and i'm 18 in a month. I work in a pub on the south coast of England and i'm starting school again soon to get my level 1 NVQ. NWQ's are the qualifications that you need to be a chef. I like to cook, I ride bmx, I play bass and i'm saving up to go to Canada a bunch of times. My favourite colour is yellow and Elephants have been my favourite animal since I saw a documentary on them when I was about 8.

jth, 03.11.1981, female, graphic designer at all hours of the night and day. I work for a nail polish company in the valley and live in los angeles. I also make handbags/stuff out of finnish fabric to supplement the cash needed for parking tickets, and to keep me from watching tv. I want a bike on a daily basis. I like black digital watches and npr. I hate 7-11 feet, nuts, and recycling.

my name is matt. im 23. ive known corey since the 6th grade. i have the summer off, but im spending all my time (trying) to study for the CPA exam. i start my job in september at one of the big 4 accounting firms and will have no life once that happens. i just got 2 bikes: a 1940s schwinn beach cruiser and a raleigh super course. i enjoy riding them around and hate driving. i am a beer snob and i like to cook. i used to longboard a lot, but none of my skateboarding friends are around anymore so its no fun anymore. i dream of opening a specialty beer store/brewpub/record store.. the plan is for this to happen in about 5 years.

I'm Dan and i'm 20. I live in New JerI'm a bum. I don't work and I play guitar and stare at the internet all day. I do odd jobs to pay for my expenses (cigarettes, beer, and food). I draw comics for fun and I also am looking to start a band (in the vein of Pavement, Jawbreaker, and Built to Spill).

I'm Vince, i'm 22 and i don't really feel like sharing my hobbies, addictions, or fixations (such as going to shows, vinyl, and suicide) with a group of relative strangers.

I'm Jon, I'm 16 and I live in Southern Oregon. I just started working at Barnes & Noble, which is great so far. I love doing web/graphic design, although I don't have nearly as much experience doing really quality stuff as I'd like (since it's just a hobby so far). I've been playing guitar for about 9 months now. I'm starting my second year doing swimteam this year. I like Peanuts, the color blue, and Irish music, although David Bowie is my favorite music artist. (Yeah, I know, I'm not original.)

Mi chiamo Stephanie, and I'm 24. I work for an Extension/Research office of Oregon State University (even though I got my degree from its rival, U of Oregon) doing public relations and communications/special projects. I work at a winery on the weekend, for which I'm in the running to become manager and creative director. I also do contract graphic design work.
I have THREE cats, Buffy, Fabrizio, and Merlot, and I bought a house this past fall, which is still a little insane. I plan on selling it for a lovely profit in a year or two, saving some, and with the rest returning to my wandering vagrant days by backpacking some obscure region.
I grew up in Canada. I'm left handed. I swear a lot. I made fun of Pauly Shore to his face. I really like mangoes.

Major props for making fun of Pauly Shore to his face. That's badass.

Also, left-handed people rock. Mostly because I'm left-handed.

It seems like there are a lot of people into web/graphic design on here. Is there any specific reason for that?

I think it's because we sit at the computer for hours on end and have cultivated a taste for music to listen to whilst working.

Charlie, one month from being aged a quarter-century (that means 25!), from Texas, land of cows. I work at a bank, as an operations supervisor. Basically I make sure all the idiots do their work right. I keep it from burning down.

yeah. we're all a big bunch of nerds.

i love nerds!

I'm a secret nerd, but I guess it's not secret now. I'm not really that into computers but i'm nerdy in other areas.

What ever happened to "I don't tell people that"

I'm Alice. I'm 22, live in NYC, and am currently working as an assitant editor on a feature film called "Liberty Kid". It's driving me completely crazy because the hours are ridiculous and the pay isn't so great, but the experience is amazing and we're pioneering new Panasonic P2 technology- I think we're the first to use this on a feature, so we're working out all sorts of bugs and workflows which is exciting.

Other than work, I don't do much (20 hour days lately!) but when I have time, I drink a lot of coffee, hang out with my roommates, go to shows, and run vivalavinyl.org

Im Ian. 23. Currently in Film School at Los Angeles Film School. Majoring in Editing. Minor in Im not sure yet. I am watching Death Race 2000 as I type. I have a friend named Mr. Littlejeans. Ive been smoking Cigs for almost 9 years. It used to be Lucky Strikes, now its Camel Lights. My weaknesses are poontang, Jack Daniels, Ben & Jerry's, laziness, and Spicy Food. Anything else you want to know about me, go to endysis.org. Im sure there is more info than you ever care to know about me there.
