Ender's Book Club / Re: Two Activities I'd like to Pick Up

If you can't afford tennis lessons, find a friend that's decent and learn from them. Or better yet, take lessons at your college if you can fit it into your schedule.

And I suggest you put up video of your progress in karaoke singing on youtube.

[...]his introduction is quite sincere and he never intended to be labelled as a troll.

That's not necessarily true.

Though I'm happy to hear you have so much faith in me, Ender.

Introductions! / Hello

« on: September 08, 2009, 03:20:26 am »

Hello! 

I am here at the request of Ender. I'm 21, from outside of Boston, going to school at Harvey Mudd (studying mathematics). I've dabbled in some programming (Java and Python). I enjoy irony far too much. With the basics aside, I'll just go down the list of questions in an uninteresting fashion, since filling out these kinds of question lists gives me a strange sense of satisfaction:

What kind of music do you like?
Jazz and blues especially, and some classic/progressive rock.

Do you have a girl (boy?) friend? No.

Are you in any other clans? No.

Why do you want to join? So I can further pursue my lifelong goal of causing Ender suffering and confusion.

Have you read our rules? No.

What's your favourite...
TV show? QI

Movie? Fargo

Band? Steely Dan

Country? Turkmenistan

Continent? Antarctica, if only because of the penguins

Season?  Winter

Type of weather? Foggy, with light rain.

Chemical? Red Dye #40

Food? Snap peas (which, coincidentally, are my cat's favorite food too)

Drink? Orangina

Book? Goodnight Moon

Author? Thomas Pynchon

Operating system? OS X

Phone company? No preference.

Computer brand? I don't have a favorite. I use a Macbook, but I don't like it enough to call it a favorite.

Linux distribution? Admittedly, I don't use Linux, but I do like Ubuntu.

Sport? Badminton.

Sports team? I used to be a Red Sox fan, but I stopped caring after 2004.

Sporting event? The Rock Paper Scissors World Championship.

Game? the Emacs adventure game

Style of game (board, rpg, card, etc.)? I don't have much of a preference - anything will do.

Bird? Lyre bird

Animal? Axolotl

Pet? I have a cat.
