Here's my life in a nutshell:

I'm 18. A senior in a tiny town in Western NY. Currently, there are 12 days left before school ends, 16 days before graduation. I am going to Clarkson University (Engineering School), which is located in Potsdam NY in Northern NY.

Mentally, I am already there. Physically, I have almost 3 months till I'm there.

I enjoy Lunasa, Rammstein, Dune, Star Trek, and intelligent conversations.

I have long curly hair.

I am shaving it off on graduation.

[Cool]

Welcome.

WAtch out for trolls. They like to flame people. They can be deadly.
Assuming you survive them, welcome on board!

I think he can do it. I mean his name comes from "Moby Dick" right? That would make all the trolls Cpt. Ahab, and we all know what happened to him.

Trolls will become the greatest literary figures ever written?

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

Hmm. Good point, Lalo. Ok, let's make the trolls that scary guy who Ahab brings along on the trip. I don't remember his name, so I suppose that would seem more fitting for the trolls. [Wink]

Clarkson?!? I went to St. Lawrence! That's 10 miles from my school! How awesome!
You're going to love the ice winters and school rivalry. (of the hockey teams)

Welcome White Whale!

This place is definitely filled with intelligent conversation and the like. I am not familiar with Lunasa. Have to be in the mood for Rammstein. Always in the mood to talk about Dune.... and Star Trek for that matter.

May I ask, why are you shaving off your long curly hair?

Not sure I can ever get used to that, but I am gonna try. Oh wait... are those flame squirting flowers by any chance?

Licensed by whom? [Angst]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Slash, of course.

"by the thread... er... fashion police"

"Leave 'em at home, missy!"

Well, I am shaving my head because:
1. I've never done it before.
2. The next time I have no hair, I cannot be absolutely certain it will grow back.
3. End of high school, beginning of college, new slate...eh?
4. I couldn't find a good reason not to.

I also just got back from Harry Potter, and I do believe that movie kicked some major crazy-sea-captain bootey.
