I'm EcH. My real name is Eric, an 18 year old freshman in San Diego State University. I am American, of various northern European descent, with a height of ~6’2,” and live in East County San Diego.  I don’t have a girlfriend. 

I do have friends on this forum, such as Dan (leet_muffin), Hagen (bigazndaddy), James (Newby), and Zach (towlie). 

As for my favorite TV show: hell if I know; it depends on the day. 

Favorite movie: Once again, it varies.  Dark Knight certainly ranks up there.  As does the first Godfather. 

Favorite band: Meh, I’m into metal, though I do have tastes outside the genre.  Metallica (older stuff) is an old favorite.  And yes, much to the mockery of a couple choice pals who frequent here, I do like Korn. 

Favorite country: United States of America. 

Favorite continent: That really depends on in what regard.  North America is cool, I guess, though I would like to go to Europe some time. 

Favorite season: The ones that involve my life. 

Favorite type of weather: Basically anything not muggy and bug-ridden, though I also prefer to avoid tornadoes. 

Favorite subject in school: History. 

Favorite chemical: Au ftw. 

Favorite food: Going to have to go w/steak, though cheeseburgers rank up there (and if price is a consideration . . .)

Favorite drink: Sprite/Sierra Mist/7UP (there is no difference) would be my favorite soda. 

Favorite book: This is more difficult than favorite movie.  I could simply provide a lengthy list of the books that I have read which I felt were excellent, but no one would read that.  So I’ll just pick off a couple I’ve read recently.  Who Are We? by Samuel Huntington is a must read, and I am loving 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene. 

Favorite operating system: Not picky; whatever I am used to at the time. 

Favorite phone company: Verizon gives me free talk to other people on Verizon.  Being cheap, I treasure that. 

Favorite sport: Gladiatorial combat.  This is, of course, assuming I am watching rather than playing.  Seriously, though, I’m not really a sports addict, and can just enjoy whatever is around.  Maybe paintball. 

I do support the local teams, though. 

Style of game: Flexible and intellectually stimulating, anything that allows me to use my strengths to full force—thus, almost exclusively video games.  Particularly strategy, though sometimes I dabble in shooters, RPGs, and online text-based. 

Favorite animal: Really depends on what regard the question is asking about.  All around, though, probably dog. 

Favorite pet: I’ve got two dogs, Rocky and Riley, who are pretty epic.
