The personal side of AT Options

[Astrid]

Sitting here in the school library between classes, ultimately bored and exhausted, I've come up with an idea some of you may either immediately disregard as a waste of time or find some interest in. What is it that we do? How many of us are high school students? College students? Which major? How many of us have completed that tedious part of our lives and achieved a career?

I'm a college student, who after months of trial-and-error has finally settled on Philosophy as an appropriate major. I entered school as a psych major, then chem, then physics, then math, then philosophy and physics, and now just philosophy I finally realized that I wasted entirely too much time trying to pick one and just decided to go for the shortest and most enjoyable. Nothin' better than arguing with a classful of people about the validity of the substance of an inanimate object :D Anyway, I plan to eventually become a professor and mess with my own students' minds. I'll throw enough Nietzsche, Plato and Descartes their way to make them question society and reality all the way to the looney bin. I love my major :D How about you guys?

Also, hobbies. Other than gaming, do you guys like anything? I used to take martial arts for a very brief period of time, but temporarily injured my knee, so I'll switch to archery until it heals. I'd call myself an avid comicbook fan, but after recieving more disappointing news in the direction of the X-Titles, I plan to quit them cold turkey (I've said this at least a million times in the past).

Any writers out there? If so, please participate in the FFXI role playing game on http://www.geneticrevolution-home.com (Heh! Shameless plug )

Anyway, this happens to be the aftermath of my sleepless, in-between-class, Tuesday boredom.

Ok... Ok... My turn. How to start... Him, name seems like a good place. I'm Nick, Astrids better half. I'm a computer geek by trade, to ba dI don't get paid for it, I build em, program useless programs from the and so on, heh. I'm a pacifist, bisexual, all around nice guy. Which is sort of oppisit of Astrid, she's a pacifist who will kick anyones ass who messes with me. I aint afraid to let my woman do my dirty work! I'm a huge fan of unconventional thinking (philosophy), art, and literature. As most of you know, my fave. book is The Picture Of Dorian Gray. Nothing better than a book about a bunch of man in love with eachother, HAH! I'm a college drop out due to agoraphobia. Which is developed from years of getting the shit kick out of me, heh. I like to drink (salutes Zerika) but I become sort of cynical when I'm drunk. For example: sober Nick, "oh you need a raise? No problem." Drunk nick, "You need a raise? 9,999,999 gil!"

All in all I enjoy my new family and think we should all get together in RL one day and get shitfaced and murder people.


See ya in the game world!
