I'm 27 years old, living in Pittsburgh, engaged, and finishing up my undergrad (I'm a slow learner). Actually, I took some time off ( 5 years can sure fly by) to grow up before starting back a year ago. I feel for older people who go back/start after decades.
Obviously, I love video games as they're not only great to look at (for the most part), play, and experience, but fun to discuss with friends as well. In fact, video game discussion take up around half of our While I do love VGs my first love is for comics, X-Men has been my lifelong favorite,so you can find me here trying not to mess things up too badly.
Behold my first eternal man-crush: Magneto!
I'm a huge Star Wars fan so I'm really looking forward to The Old Republic and had a blast at Celebration V in Florida last year. If you're a SW fan you have to go to at least one Celebration before you die. I plan on going next year so if you are too feel free to contact me.
Behold my second eternal man-crush: The Emperor!
I also love fantasy but, truth be told, I only read Michael Moorcock's Elric books. Maybe I'll check out his other works as well as those of other authors someday. I'm currently reading Sean Williams Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance which I thoroughly started to enjoy about 100 pages in.
I love languages and was lucky enough to be exposed to Spanish by native speakers from the Dominican Republic (arguably) before the blasted critical period snapped it's evil, evil jaws down upon me. I've also studied French, negligible German, Japanese, and Italian but am now focusing on Mandarin with a Taiwanese twist. I plan to do work in law enforcement or perhaps become a dialectologist.
I'm currently learning about nonverbal communication with Joe Navarro as my primary guide. It's interesting stuff and everyone can benefit from it. *Removes various shameless plugs*
I'm grateful to the GIO community for all of its wonderful insights, colorful/funny/creative opinions, and helpful advice.
