I'm scared of heights only if I'm just standing on a ledge looking down (even from as low as two stories) but if it's a roller coaster or bungee jumping or something fun like that, I'm not afraid to do it. I LOVE sports, I've played soccer (sorry international people, I'm just use to that word for it), football, basketball, tennis, rugby and golf. Soccer was my first sport I started near kindergarten, so like age 5 or 6 like most little boys and girls. I played until I was 14 for a select team and state team. I quite because I felt I had a better future with football, for which I play as a varisty starter since sophmore year at my school. Basketball was just for recreation, I played for Middle School and then quit. Tennis I played competitively for awhile but wasn't good enough to really go anywhere with it. Golf wasn't active enough for me, and I just started playing some rugby and it's hella fun! I have a very active social life. I also have a girlfriend and we've been together since 2nd grade (don't know if that counts) here she is on the very right: here and here - her with me (a little red since we're in South Padre, my hair is now shorter than that football is starting. I would like to play in the NFL or be a CIA agent or go into something medical. | ||

I'm far too metacognitive and analytical to honestly engage in what American society considers to be a normal, healthy social life, and therefore, I'm an introvert. I'm not a hermit, just quiet, shy, etc. I had a girlfriend that I was totally in love with, but we are no longer together. =/ I used to play soccer, but I stopped that because I hurt too many people (i.e. kicking the ball straight into their stomach, face, etc.). I played tennis for about a year, and I played baseball for a few years. I eventually quit them all because I'm fucking lazy, and my dad bought me an SNES. Starcraft is the only RTS I play. I absolutely love FPS games. I play Counter-Strike: Source, Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and most recently, Battlefield 2. Oh, and a lot of people ask me what the hell my name means. The letters are my initials, and 289 was just my favorite number for some reason when I first made the screenname. Here's a picture of me, if you dare. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/rpf289/Personal/me2.jpg | ||

I am currently 18 and just graduated from High School. I plan to study Computer Science at a University if I ever get the money. I started playing Starcraft about 4 years ago when Bryan Myers (rS.MiniRoman) gave me the game as a gift. I have been addicted hopelessly since. I usually play on US East with a few friends as Fennix so if you see me say hi ^^ Aside from Starcraft I enjoy skateboarding with some of my friends, playing the bass guitar, and reading alot of Steven King novels. | ||

And just because Rekrul discourages us all from becoming poker pros, I want to try it some day. Not for the money, but for the freedom which is what I value most in life. Since early January poker has pretty much been my only hobby, and I am at a point where I make almost 50-75% of what my job pays me. If I can keep it up, I will probably quit my job and do my own thing for a while, but enough about that. I am single. Past girlfriends have probably gotten tired of me never growing up. When they hint that they want kids, I run. I don't want kids, I don't even like kids. That probably sounds bad but I don't see myself wanting children in any walk of life, they take too much time and too much of your freedom. Besides I'm a kid myself. Like Drone said, I'm pretty immature but that's a good thing, most people are too serious. All in all, I really love my life, I like most people a great deal and try to see something good in everyone. I don't get along well with negative people though, they drain my fire too much. Peace | ||

i am interested in philosophy, movies, rock music, business, and writing. for the past two months i've been on a movie watching marathon, i've watched a LOT of movies during this span of time... basically all those movies that i always wanted to see, i saw. i saw them mostly with friends, but some movies i found i enjoyed more watching it alone. i'm also opening up a store soon. it's a partnership between myself and a friend, the bank already approved of our loan agreement and hopefully it will be a success.  i've thoroughly enjoyed many various kinds of rock music. i'm very open minded but also critical when it comes to music. i had fun finding some new artists through tl.net, so thanks for that. and although you might not be able to tell because i tend to not think or care when i'm online, i'm experienced with journalism, and i'm the news editor for my school newspaper. i tend to be very frank when speaking and sometimes people get mad at me for that, but i don't care. i'm also very nice and friendly, and on parties and stuff i always have a great time. and having korean parents, my parents forbid alcohol when i'm with friends.  i also study hard for school, but that's not because of my parents. i also play golf because it's cool and... i hardly play bw at all now, and only with people i already know. no pubbies heh | ||

Moved around a few times in Holland, and now I still live with my parents in some village called "Geldrop", which is just next to Eindhoven, which I'm sure some of you guys know. I'm 16 years old (17 this saturday !). I'm trying to become a doctor, because fixing people up kicks ass. I'll be going to university in 2 years if things go well, considering I'm very lazy, probably like a LOT of people here. What can I say, procrastination is my middle name but I'll make it eventually. I NEVER give up, so that always comes in handy. More importantly, the music I love: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Blind Guardian, Symphony X, Pink Floyd. Pretty sure I'm not the only one who loves metal/old rock here. :D I'm probably one of the nicest guys you'll know, unless someone comes looking for trouble when I'm in a very bad mood. Which is usually never the case. I'll always help if u ask me nicely. | ||

I just turned 20 years old and live in Antwerp, Belgium. I have a mental "problem" bordering authism that generally makes it harder for me to judge people's emotions, have a conversation about nothing, understand things that require "feel" to it, etc. I have quite a bit of trouble in everyday situations because of this and I was so bad at school that I dropped out before finishing high school. Rekrul likes to call me a "fucking robot" which is not such a bad description if you think about it. The other thing that characterises me most is my religious love for strategy games. When I'm playing a strategy game and I'm getting into it I'm thinking about it any time, anywhere. When I was little I always liked games like chess and I loved playing with Magic: the Gathering cards. Later on I loved playing starcraft and right now I'm trying to learn texas hold'em poker. Loving the strategy of starcraft so much is what inspired me to copy Tiamat's example (I think he was the first person to make audio commentary for starcraft replays) to try out JCA's RWA (replay with audio) recorder. Few people really liked the commentary itself, but I was very lucky that many americans apparantly love the belgian accent, and so the RWA's were entertaining for them regardless of what I said. One of those people was Rekrul, and I'm glad he thought my accent was funny because he must be the best friend I've made on the internet and the internet alone. I don't really have a clue what I want to do with my life in the field of work etc, but I do know I'd really like to visit foreign countries, particularly the USA, korea and japan. I was originally invited to the TL.net staff to host liquibition, the series of exhibition matches that made me bring my first visit here in the first place. However, a combination of me quitting brood war and players becoming less interested/reliable to play this kind of showmatch resulted in me failing to live up to my promise and quitting after having hosted only 2 succesful liquibitions. I now moderate the strategy forum on this site and I have no clue wether I am being any good at it, though I do believe it got better since I first started. I'd love to make a big writeup about how I see brood war strategy, and in fact I'm preparing a big list of tips for people who try to be competetive about the game. My advice is often discarded because everyone knows that I was never a great player, and I guess people are right indeed to be sceptical about my tips. I also want to make a big list with links to many many good threads in my Recommended Threads thread that's stickied in the strat forum. | ||

My name is Neil. I am 19 years old I live in England. I'm from a pretty big town known as Bolton where I was born and still reside. I don't really like it here. It's horrible. One day I hope to move further down south to a smaller, and quiter town. I finished high school in 2002 and then went to college studying Computing. It is a total waste of time. Computer related jobs are reserved for people with actual experience, rather than academic qualifications. Ever since then I have done nothing (been on job seekers allowance). I have no ambitions job wise at all which is quite sad. I don't know what to do with my life. My hobbies include traveling (not that I've done much of it, never been out of the UK), television, comedy and I'd really like to play Golf, but it's too expensive. I also like writing but I'm not very good at it. I have trouble with placing commas correctly (as some of you can probably guess from this post) and a few other errors. So any help there is appreciated I don't really play any games constantly anymore. I played counter-strike for a few years and I played runescape for about 4 years. I tried WoW but it is sooo boring. I also played 300 or so games of starcraft, but I only won about 5 times so I stopped. Since then, I havn't found a decent game worth sticking with. There's my life story. Enjoy ! | ||

I am currently going on to my Junior year in High School, and I am dead center in my class. I don't really take school seriously, and I only do well in a class if I am provoked. I get C's in most of my classes, unless a teacher hates me, then I will try and I usually get 95's/+.For subjects, I take alot of computer science classes and I enjoy all of my computer related classes. I love designing websites the most out of all of my subjects[HTML/CSS/XHTML] For the summer I am working 40 hours a week being a janitor in my High School. It isn't as bad as ti would seem. They pay me good, it is close by and it is very easy work for a summer job. When I am not working I like to ride freestyle BMX and skateboard. I have a small skatepark in my driveway/yard. It consists of a half-pipe, 2 quarter pipes, a fun box and 2 rails. Biking and Skating is pretty much my life right now outside of work. When not working, biking or skating, I absolutly love music. Right now I'm mostly listening to Indie and Hardcore, but I also have a enormous love for Death Metal and old School Rap. I am currently dating a girl named Bridget. She is 17 and she is going to be a senior. She takes school very seriously and plans to attend Yale in 2007. She is 1st in her class and is president of alot of clubs. She is fantastic and funny, and everything I could ask for in a girl, and I love her dearly. I am the most laid back person you will ever meet. I don't really take anything that seriously, but I do hold grudges and get mad easily if someone attacks what I hold dear. I give away my trust easily, but once you break it, it's almost impossible to get back. My Life Story~ | ||
