-My name is Geoffrey John Vincent Robinson, im 21 as of Sept 11th.
-I go to Oregon State University where I am a junior majoring in English / History. Want to be a highschool teacher when its all said and done.
-I live in a house with 2 buddies where I am able to kill 5-6 hours a day playing this awsome game called brood war. I eat a diet that consists of pasta. Spaghetti, Macaroni and other various noodles.
-Im from Seattle Washington where i went to the private highschool O'Dea, played football for 4 years was all state for the last 3 and captain my senior year where we lost in the finals of state. I walked on at central washington university but due to 0 drug testing the entire team was juicing and that did not interest me. I went to OSU to pursue old recruiting that they had for me but alas, they to0 wanted me to walk on. Something I wasnt really willing to do. So now im just a washed up football player.
-Im on the debate team. I do well.
-Im one of the pushed, if you know what the alludes to.
That about does it for now. If anything sparked anyone's interest ask away, im extremely open about myself.

I'd like to hear more about you and uNcontrollable. Congratulations on turning 21, as well. I can't wait for my 21st birthday.

Will. 19 years old, Salem, Oregon. About to move out from my mom's house into an apartment by myself. Work for low pay, and not in school. I like to think of myself as stupid. I'm nice though, I promise. Helping people makes me feel better about myself. Oh, and I am a writer. I have been paid for short fiction. Oh, and I have done too much drugs, but am getting myself back together. Sometimes I feel I am incapable of caring for anyone but myself, and it makes me want to kill myself. Wrap yourself around those apples, Stevie. Ladies love me. Currently playing WC3 TFT on USEAST under name: perLi if anyone is down.

My name is Jason. I turn 23 in two days.
Life has been fun being an only child in a single mother household because I've been able to set my own course for nearly a decade. On the other hand I ended up short on discipline.
I was the scholastic Cincinnati City Chess Champion my sophmore year of HS.
I dropped out of HS half-way through my junior year. I took the GED; got a simulated class ranking of 1.
I've had two college majors during two periods of my life. Firstly, I was a Computer Programming major which I was good at, but which haunted me with weeks of staring at mentally intensive code only to escape for the 1-hour development meeting at the end of the week.
I quit college, moved out of my mom's house, moved a major city away, and started working my own sub-contracting corporation pimping insurance claims from 'hail damage.' Working 60-hour blue collar weeks makes for a shitty life no matter how much money you make. I also played poker professionally before the 'boom' and before the TL.net community was hooked. I did very well but it conflicts with me morally and I now think that it is downright boring and easy.
I went back to college and became a Philosophy major. My rationale was getting in touch with the foundation of knowledge. It's been extremely enlightening and practical in a personal development sense, but in the end I'm spending too much money on an 'impractical fiscal investment.'
My Philosophy studies have led me to wish for a greater moral understanding amongst the population but I've also come to realize that most people are lacking the basic critical thinking to even digest basic moral theory. Hell, our govt. can't even come to grips with Universality.
So, I'm combining my chess skills with my world view. I am starting a non-profit organization to integrate chess instruction into public grade school curriculums. Chess has been shown to improve IQ and EQ scores. I am highly excited about this. It allows me to own my own company, make a positive impact on the world, and have very nice financial freedom.
My Non-Profit is called "Future Moves."
Thanks for getting to know me.

Dream-_- I starve for playing bw in a lan setting. I went to the WCG Seattle lan and had a fucking blast (the one where more than 3 people showed hehe). Since than I have been left MC'ing and probe rushing newb friends who humor me. If you guys are serious about it give me the word, Portland is only 1 hour away and god knows im big enough of a nerd to make the drive. Otherwise, if you guys ever feel like going to Corvallis we can set something up, and I have 2 couches.
PS: if it is some time in the future I will/should have uNcontroLable ready by than, I am slowly teaching her this fine game She is already a TL.net addict, bw is naturally the next level. She friggin used the word "smurf" the other day for god sakes.

Awsome story You sound like a smart guy with a good head, not enough of you people around. I love chess as well, just got my glass set down here at school unfortunately nobody here plays chess. Not even a formal club on campus, just a circle jerk group that plays at organized times. Boohoo!

Anders Lundgaard, 21 years old. Started studying molecular biology at university of århus this year.
It was first when I started studying, that I moved out from my parents (had been travelling around some, to come back and live with my parents). It's great living on my own in a new city. It's great being in school again. It's great meeting so many people that I have so much in common with.
But the study itself is pretty hard - I don't feel like I'm 'on top of it' - there are just so much stuff to do all the time, and I know that if I sit inside all day studying, I'll get tired of it eventually, and drop out.
So I try to do other stuff - I just came back from the gym just now. I've gotten weak over the last 3-4 months (did practically nohing over the summer), but I don't think it'll take long before I can lift what I did when I used to work out. I spend alot of time with my girlfriend, who I'm been with around a year (wrong grammar, is it 'whom'?). She's probably the best girl I've ever met in my life (yeahyeah I know, but she really is).
After I've moved up here, the weekends have been crazy. I always get incredibly drunk, and when I'm in that state, I sometimes find myself hard to control, and I've done some stuff that I've felt bad for when waking up at my girlfriends the next day.
Maybe I should just stop drinking so hard, and I'd be able to control myself. Anyone know how I feel?
Spend too much money on stuff that I could live without. I guess sometime I will have to get a job, but not right now, I just got here ;p That's at least the excuse I use when I think that I need to get a job. It's just easy when I know my parents will help me financially if I ever need it.
Kinda miss my friends from back home, who moved to Copenhagen to study instead of Århus. Too bad ;<, but I couldn't study molecular biology there. If I could, I would've moved with them to Copenhagen. I just look forward to see them in the next vacation.
Oh, and about me and bw: I haven't really played bw the last 6 months. I've recently played some pub games and 2v2 with friends, but that's about it. Nothing serious. It's also hard when you only got a laptop.
That's it for now .

Well here I was thinking about posting some about me but if what Quietidiot posted was bad then what I would post would be absolutely terrible. But LegendaryDreams, just because you seem to think that people are the most important thing in life doesn't mean you're right. Hanging out with those people, all that "friendship", that's what got me into a position where I can lament twice as much as QuietIdiot can. Friendship is really overrated in society, I didn't have friends for years and that was when I was most successful in life.
do u have friends online?

I am David Joe. When i was young i used to hate the fact that my last name was a first name. And people always called me Joe David. I am currently 16. I live in Seoul, South Korea. Hmm i was born in seoul and moved arizona in usa when i was 2. I lived there than moved to Georgia, Tennesee, New Jersey. Also i lived in Hot_bid's hometown Edison in nj. I want to go to a american college. I've been in korea for 2 years yet i suck at korean. Going to public school. I've been playing sc since 2003 when i was 6-7 grade. I want to live in ny. I love metal (Iced Earth). Oh yeah i hate going to school on the first day cause when to go for attendence they always say. Is there er hyun whan joe ( my korean name) and they always butcher and struggle with it and it just makes me sheepy. I want to major in music theory/composition for college or become a doctor/ med school. I like anime. And uh i'm pretty good at table tennis if anyone wants to play in korea. I love my life and parents. I like cute japanese songs. I never had a girlfriend. Im 5'9 and 130 pounds 175 cm/58-9 kilo. And i love to work out. Firsy tried it out when i was in 7th grade.

2 years ago when i left premed to get business experience, i lost most of my friends. 1 year ago, after getting enough experience to return to premed to do the things i really want to be able to do for those prehealthcare undergrad programs, i noticed that i'm now a stranger and it's hard to be in the in group. nobody likes a premed "dropout". reminds me of that song. don't know the name. something like "past is never hard, [...] dadada, never knew ur name"
my parents come from rural china. I spent my childhood there. I read chess, C++, and pingpong in high school and started a small private tutoring business. Let me tell you, learning how to be socially competent is much harder than learning chess. I'd say 1 year of very competent chess learning can put you at 1800 USCF, but I've spent the past 4 years of my life trying to learn how to be a normal person who can keep friends, and I simply suck at it. I have my heart in the right place i'm sure, but something just isn't clicking.
My dream is to research and understand great people, especially great people who make it at a young age. med school graduates at 20, college graduates double major with profit at 18, etc. I want to start a private school for rural children after i learn how to be the perfect gaurdian. I think living at ground 0 of poverty instills into a person something that will make them go far in life if they are given the chance.
right now, i'm not in a happy place. you guys are right on with needing to have social intelligence to go far in life. i simply had none, and as a result, all the "social capital" (i hear it all the time but i don't know which author comes up with the name) i've thrown away and it feels terrible. I'm doing better though. All my friends who i started being friends with 3+ years ago really don't know what to think of me or they just hate me in as non-judgemental a way as possible. all the friends that i've made within the past 1 year think i'm great.
it might also be that my new friends aren't in the "social elite" class. i just don't know.

I have changed my mind so much from the last time we did this
It is not my real name, but my friends call me Ivan. I am 21, and currently junor majoring in computer science. Also, I am doing my time in army (tho it is civil), so I work in employment agency for free. In the same time I am trying to get driver`s licence. Much work to be done.
I was always happy person, that could make others laugh or start conversation. I was person that everybody wants to talk to, and has respected opinion.
About a year into the past, I do not know what has gotten into me. I just didn`t give a shit .Whether or not will I finish college, whether or not will I do anything. I felt like it is so meaningless to try. Maybe even Jtan felt this in our games. I was in really shitty mood, couldn`t see shit and couldn`t do shit. Or it is better to say my will was weak. I haven`t passed test in college for 6 months. It cost me now. I would just watch how dead lines are going away. All I would do is watch tv whole day, and Internet browsing. It was really a big slump.
There are many thing that helped me to get better. I was reading alot about willpower, joga, concentration and things related to in. It helped. Also Dream Theater`s songs helped allot, especially words like "Face yourself man! Brace yourself and trace your hell back" etc. Thank you DT. I am again the same person I was before very optimistic, and now I am looking forward to future
Thing I like to do when I have time are playing football, playing pc games, reading and so on. I like to read about ancient hystory the most. I like horror and science fiction movies the most. Big fan of K-1 and pride.
As for starcraft goes, I like this game, but I do not have much time to play. I am more of "for fun" player.
