Hello. My name is...

[eMaGyN]

I think with so many new members constantly coming in... we are becoming this huge close knit community... and i wanted everyone to get the chance just to learn a little more about the people behind the tag... so here goes.

Name: Ceara (its kear-rah... like Tear, but with a K sound... lol)
Age: 20ish
Birthday: March 31st.
Astrological Sign: Aries. (rawr!)
Interests:
- Music: my largest passion. I've played the piano before i could write. It must be the most spectacular creative outlet i have ever learned. I also play the harp (very little...but enough to mention) the acoustic guitar... and I'm buying a cello soon. So, music has a tremendous influence on my life and who I am. My favorite classical piece is Moonlight Sonata
- My Canvas: Be it of cloth and wax, or a piece constructed by pixels... its probably one of the most... comfortable form of artistic expression that i can share with anyone. The arts in general are this amazing part of my life... it helps you see things in a different light. My favorite artist must be Dali, but i love Monet, and Pollock... pretty array choices there... but i love them all. When i paint, i like a mixture (lol, if any of you care about this, i'm surprised ) of watercolor and acrylic. watercolor mostly for the background and acrylic for the foreground. Oil based paint is only used when i know the project will take time...and I often use bucket paint and sticks for my more abstract pieces.
-School : I'm currently in my junior year of college, studying psychology. My previous education was from an academy, nestled someplace in Pennsylvania, which gave me the chance to skip my freshman year and start out at my would have been second year. Word to the wise, if you can take AP classes in High School, do it. It would probably be safe to say that College is the largest consumer of my time...but i sorta like to think of it not as eating away all of my time...but me just being there and trying to enjoy it... lol, although that doesn't always work during certain weeks... lol.
-Athletics: I try to stay as active as possible. I do yoga, i am a constant jogger... every day of every season i try to get out there and do some jogging. I do morning exercises (nerdy i know... lol) and i even have a protein shake! lol... for the sports view, i absolutely love Tennis... that is probably one of the best sports i participate in...but i also play a lot of Soccer. I will play anything for recreational sports I also enjoy swimming.
hrm...what else? I congratulate you if you have actually read this far... lol, listening to my babble
-Gaming: This is the section that sorta upsets me almost... lol. I really really wish that i would have happened across gaming in some other way... but the reason i started to get into gaming (especially online games) was because of my ex boyfriend... a long long time ago... lol. My first online experience was with Tribes 1, and then it moved to Tribes 2... and now i'm here lol, my gaming history isn't that vast... but, i give it my all. In Tribes 1 i joined a clan called the Universal Assassins. [UA], no offense to anyone who might have been a member, treated me horribly... they only took me in because they said i had "potential"...but never tried to develop it... and so i was stuck running invos to everyone the entire lenght of matches / practices. After i got tired of being the water girl (probably about 2 weeks) i moved to Circamod... lol, this is oldschool, but maybe some of you remeber... and i became pretty well known in that community. I started my old clan, Machines of God (where you at ho!) and we completely rocked. I absolutely loved it... whenever the move came from Tribes 1 to Tribes 2... we hung in there for a little while... but it wasn't the same, and MoG dissapated. Then, i floated around for a bit...got back in contact with Thronebeast and he was a member of CDL at the time... i then joined CDL (after three months and a lot of hard work... lol, not to mention forum incidents ) and i haven't been in any other clan since...

Ok, well... i think that is a good place to end my section. lol. I suggest some more of you guys post some stuff! Favorite foods, musicians...anything. Its always great to get to know more about this awesome community!

Thanks.

Gaming: I first started gaming on an old mac with a 5 mhz processor or something obscene, playing 2d games. Then just played SNES for a few years until N64 came out. I played Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, and TH before they made like 10 of them. Then I went back to comp, played UT, and some other stuff.

[Doobz]

Name: Nick Dolph
Age:15
Zodiac: Aries
Birthday: March 22
Interests: Music and gaming. I love music, almost all music except for pop and stuff. My favorite types of music have to be classic rock and punk. Jazz is pretty sweet too. I've been playing the guitar for almost a year now, and am getting pretty proficient at it (stairway to heaven solo in the bag). And my second biggest passion, gaming. My first real game was sonic the headghog for the genesis, when I was 4. I've played alot of games since then, Doom through Battlefield 1942. Some of my fondest gaming memories come from playing Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Jet Force Gemini. As you can see, I loved games from Rare. I like games that tell a story, which is one reason why most of my favorite games are Blizzard games, inlcuding both Diablo games, Starcraft, and Warcraft 3. I like RPGs, RTSs, and FPSs, basically the big 3 of gaming. My current favorite is Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for the Xbox.
Sports: Mainly soccer, been playing on and off since I was about 7.
Food: Anything Italian. I love Italian food.

In a similar format as eMaGyN's post:

Name: Alex (quite a leap from Lex to Alex, I know)
Age: I am not giving this one up.
Birthday: May 1st
Astrological sign: Sun: Taurus (moo), moon: pisces
Interests:
-First and foremost, music: I have been playing music since I can remember. I have played the piano, trumpet, french horn, drums, guitar, and have had some voice lessons. Now I focus on composition and production rather than performance. I spend alot of time listening to music and have embarked on some DJing eforts. I have done a significant amount of recording in and out of studios including a recording session at Electric Ladyland Studio.
-Film: I am a big fan of film and see film as the most powerful artform at this point in history. You are able experience a short story in one sitting, it is usually not too cumbersome, it extensively plays on two of your senses, and to be successful, film requires production by people proficient in visual arts, writing, acting, sound design, and music among other artistic vocations. I am especially interested in indie film. Along these lines I have recently become interested in contemporary Anime.
-School: I am a junior at my school and am majoring in Music. My hopes are to become a composer for Film. I am also taking a significant amount of math and computer classes.
-Athletics: I make it to the gym to lift about once a week. I try to get some soccer in when I can and I am always down for a pickup game of football. I try to go snowboarding whenever I can. In high school I played for my schools soccer team, lacross team and tennis team.
-Cooking: I have had many jobs in many kitchens. The most significant for me was working very closely with a chef that had recently graduated from Johnson and whales. He imparted a good deal of his cooking knowlege to me, showed me where I could learn alot about classical french cooking, and taught me where many modern cooking styles derived from. (note to anyone going into the culinary arts, don't do it unless you really really love cooking and are ready to have cooking dominate your entire life).
-Gaming: I have been playing video games forever. My first game system was an atari that had a disk drive (atari1600 I think). My consoles include nintendo, SNES, N64, PS, Xbox. The first time I played an online game was on a BBS. My first MMORPG was EQ. My first clan was a Mechwarrior clan. The first time I really felt an outside of the game attachment to a clan was when Airlift randomly decided to help a noob learn how to play Jumpgate and then recruited him into his squad.
