So, I'm Boris. I'm from North Carolina (Yay, another North Carolinian). Currently I'm in Idaho studying Professional Writing at BYU-Idaho. I've been a computer nerd since I was 13, and I've also wanted to be a writer since I was about 15 (Actually, it was more like since age 8, but at that time I just wanted to make a movie, now I just want to write books). Anyway, I've recently gone from being a reasonably well paid computer technician/college student to being a reasonably poor student on financial aid (I got sick of fixing computers, and it was pulling my focus away from what I want to do so I called it quits). At any rate, I've been a fan of science fiction since I was about 3 years old (Thanks in great part to the fact that ET and Return of the Jedi were the first movies I remember seeing, I'm 24 for those interested in age). What else...Oh yeah, I'm pretty big into ballroom dance, I do a little singing, but never in public (And the public probably thanks me for that), and uhh...Well, that's about all I can think of. Just for those who are wondering (And didn't see my other intro in the other forum), my SN comes from a guy who kept calling me Boris after seeing me in a black trench coat. Apparently, he was a big fan of Rocky and Bullwinkle. I am a fan too, so I let the name stick. So that's me.

Ya know, no-one's ever asked me that question before. But wouldn't that be more of a matter of YOUR opinion of me, and not my opinion of me? (I suppose the answer of "No-one's ever asked me that" makes it a probable no, huh?)

It has been spoken! Or written! Whatever, I'm saving it for eternity! (or until my death, whichever comes first)
Edit: And Kama, to answer you(r first question), no.
Also edit: Yes to the second question, my real name is indeed Radu.
at pooka... Maybe you should read the Are you really a girl? Gender MIx Up on Hatrack thread... But I thought it was quite obvious!? Hmmm, I probably shouldn't ask this, but... What made you think I was a girl?!

I read most of that thread. I think it's mainly a holdover from when Icarus' wife Cor used to post. But I'll try better next time. 90% of the time the gender of a person shouldn't and doesn't matter.

Hehe, no problem, I was just curios about how you got that idea... I've read that thread too and was surprised to see that Goat is a girl and everybody knows it... Well, I guess that just means I'm not everybody!
Also, I've just read that thread again and... Miro's a girl?! Oh well...
And I confused Reiko with Ryuko, and thought he was a she.

Welcome, Boris! Most of us don't bite. And being in Rexburg, you're probably the geographically closest Hatracker to me, which makes you automatically cool. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

Well, now that we've dealt with the most important question ( ), are you ignorant and pugilistic? If not, welcome. Posts: 21182 | Registered: Sep 2004

My comeliness, no matter how truthfully stated, is not relevent, m'dear. Nice try though; a lesser man may have been distracted, but not I.
No, I guess the old adage is correct. You can take the Polish girl out of New Jersey, but you can't take the New Jersey out of the girl. I've heard it's kinda like chicken pox. Or syphilis.
*look for suitable shelter from New Jersey Hatrackers*
-- Tammy, I know I'm hot, I didn't need Kama's assertion for that... She was just trying to deflect the tough questions just like (your politician of choice)!

Sara, I've heard of the Writer's Boot Camp, but for some reason I can't find any info on the next one. I think I failed to go to the last one because of monetary concerns. As for whether or not I'm ignorant or pugilistic, I spend a good bit of time trying to learn about the world, and I'm not a boxer (Literal meaning of pugilistic), nor am I very argumentative. And Annie, how close is close? Posts: 3003 | Registered: Oct 2004

Wow, I'd always heard that there was a black hole in the center of the universe. I guess Montana fits that description (Just kidding, I've never been to Montana so I don't know what I'm talking about). And about the Natasha thing, it's funny you mention that, because I use this name every time I've gone bowling, and if I have a date, she usually ends up being Natasha because she hasn't heard of the "Bowler Name" tradition.

Oh yeah, I miss Rocky and Bullwinkle, too. (And consequently, I'm reading "The Crystal City" right now, and every time it mentions "Moose and Squirrel", I hear the voice of Natasha)
