Woot! Thanks for the Focus On, Lynea. I'll spare you my christian experiences.
My former board name was DrJekyll when I played AC. Once I moved to WoW I made a new handle as Abednego. I had to pick Abednego after watching a cartoon called Veggie Tales. If you’ve ever seen it, there is a cucumber named Larry who has the oddest voice you’ve ever heard. …. Unless you’ve heard me talk. Yeppers!! I sound just like that happy little freak Larry from Veggie Tales irl.
Born August 1975 in Fairfax Virginia. Lived in VA all my life.
My parents are (were) both GS-15 federal workers for the State Department. They are still together happily retired and out spending my inheritance. I have 1 brother, 2 years younger. The rest of my family lives in Paola and Neodesha Kansas. They are all farmers owning hundreds of acres of land. I love visiting them.
Family life for me has always been stable. Nothing notable to write about. All my biggest life lessons have come from watching other people screw up and reap the consequences of it. I’m a short guy. Practically a hobbit at 5’ 5†and 120lbs. I eat EVERYTHING and never gain weight. Yes, people hate me for it.
I was a C student in middle school. High school saw improvements as I got B’s and A’s. When I got to college I really woke up and started studying. I studied my brains out at a little undergraduate 4-year college called Ferrum. Ferrum is DEEP in the backwoods of SW Virginia. They are best known for their environmental science program – and since I am a tree-hugger, I took right to the school. Got all A’s and a handful of B’s and graduated with a degree in BioChemical Engineering in 1997.
I did post graduate work at George Washington University studying System Engineering and Architectures on Lockheed Martin’s nickel. Married a girlfriend from college in 1999 and we spent the next 3 years blissfully DINK.
While working for Lockheed Martin I worked in an office where most of us had an affinity for video games. One guy introduced the lot of us to Asheron’s Call. Wa-Laa! AC gets introduced to characters like me, Heart of Gold, and F-Jackie.
In 2002 my son shows up. I SUCK as a parent. Kids don’t come with instruction books so I really winged it with my first son. I’m amazed he’s normal.
In 2005 my daughter shows up. The second kid is way easier than the first.
That’s my life!!! Very uneventful (I don’t attract drama if I can help it).
These are pics of me that the wife made for Father’s day in 2006: 56K DIALUP KEEP OUT!!!
