I'm a college student.  Benefitting from a university without a core curriculum, I study only those subjects that interest me -  at present, these include the Egyptian language, Geography of the Ancient World, Greek history, Greek and Latin literature courses, and the composition of Greek prose.

I'm working towards eventually going to graduate school and becoming a scholar of the classical world, most likely with a focus either on early Greek poetry (Homer, Tyrtaeus, maybe Pindar) or the post-Alexandrian Hellenistic kingdoms.

I'm a highschool student who haunts developing message boards when I'm bored.  I also sleep and eat, when I'm bored.  I never do my homework, it doesn't matter how bored I am.  I own a lighter and watch the heat from it warp the text on my computer screen, when I'm bored.

I'm always bored.  Have a turtle  !turtle

ElDo goes to school, surely, and often works extensively on his larger projects from there. Besides schoolwork, though, ElDo works on his website (shamless plug: http://www.freewebs.com/red_valor ) and prepares for his weekly D&D game on Thursdays. Other than that, he occasionally heads with his friends to a bookstore or two and enjoys relaxing in the store, reading a good book.

The bookstore owners don't entirely appreciate it, but they cannot do much, now can they? :D

ElDo also likes pie, in large quantities. However, he dislikes pi.

i'm a cadd technician (draftsman, whatever). like dagg said, i've been helping him with phprisk.org . most of my free time is spent messing with computers, doing web-application stuff, python coding, messing with linux, or something. (not for money, just kicking around.)

I'm a college student studying Politics.  To give you an idea of what that entails, I'm reading a book now with the entirely un-presumptuous name of "The Social Construction of Man, the State, and War."  Yeah.

When not writing on my computer, I'm going to classes, hiking, or playing basketball poorly.

Wixman is a senior in high school who is finishing up his year with some grade 12 chem and physics and hopes to apply to his local university to take his bachelor of science. Wixman hasn't played D&D in a while, but usually RPs once a week. He likes to go walking, play computer at the cyber cafe, and watch anime. Wixman is turning 18 in 7 days when he hopes to get really wasted. Yes, it's a monday.

But don't worry! As long as you continue to emanate enough evil thought-energy to influence and control your many worshippers throughout the untold eons, they will resurrect you when the time comes. I guarantee it!" [/spoiler]

I'm a student at Tilburg University in the course of Econometrics, currently considering adding a minor in Philosophy. In my spare time, I do tabletennis, basketball, reading (what can I say, I'm a traditionalist ;)), DnD and writing (mostly for DnD).

@Mithridates: That's pretty cool, actually.

@nastynate: Sorry to hear that. It does explain a few things though: who ever heard of someone creating a campaign setting in 11 days? But again, too bad man.

In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.
