Where to start. I'm horrible at starting things.


Well, I was born a poor black child..


Er, wait, that's Steve Martin...


Uhh..


Okay.


I was born in Anaheim, CA, back in 1983 (I'm 21 for you non math majors). I share my birthday with Buddy Holly, Queen Elizabeth, and around 1/365th of the world's population. I've lived in the same house my entire life, in a little suburb of Anaheim called Cypress. Its got the class of Anaheim with the quality of Long Beach.


Nothing eventful happened, really. I did a lot of traveling with my grandparents, so I went to around 40 of the 50 states before I was 10. I was a smart kid, but incredibly lazy, and got B's om school.


Currently, I work as a 4th key in a grocery store, which is middle management, basically. Most of you older folks have heard the whole mess behind that job, but some probably forgot. Listos:


I got hired. People told me strike was a commin. Boss told me I was to be a scab. I said no, went and joined the union, and proceded to spend 140 days out of my first 150 picketing, starting fights, drinking beer, and getting a small stipend. Afterwards, I got 3 promotions within 3 months. I'm that damn good.


I currently have no girlfriend, just broke up with my girl of 18 months about 7 months ago, been a free agent since then.


Music? I love it. Punk, ska, reggae... Those are my favorites. But, I am an asshat about music, so don't start...


Yes, I'm in a band, Not A Chance. I'd link to the website, but supposedly, after 2+ years of it being ok, it suddenly breaks the ToS, so I can't.


We still don't have an album yet. Lots of drama behind that. We did go into the studio several times, with little results.

That's from the first session we did, with a drummer twacked out, an engineer who wasn't there, and me at the controls for the first time, recording on the crapiest equipment known to man, mixing 16 chanels by myself in real time.


What I plan to do with my life?


Well, currently, I'm stil in community college, but I should have my certificate and my A.S. soon. I plan on getting a masters (at least) in Physics, as a fall back, but my dream is to be in a semi-famous band... Able to tour and play shows... All the mean-while, run my own record label and recording studio.


My political views are probably well known. Equality for all. Government for none.


Oh, and how I got my name?


When I first started playing EQ, I made myself a High Elf Enchanter. I couldn't think of a name. I was in a band at the time. We had a drummer named Ed. So, we called ourselves "Special Ed and the Guitards". I made my chanter "Speciaal" (and at 20 his last name was Edd). I had a question about Charm, and I had been lurking on EQGeneral for a while, so I made this name. Tah-dah.


I know I forgot important things, so ask away.

what server were you on? i played on Druzzil Ro because i just read the dark elf trilogy and it looked kinda like Drizzt


my human pally was named Tallan (randomly made it up) and then at 20 i added "Whosaysni" hehehe...i got a lot of cred for that


btw i printed that out to read on the crapper, good read

I played on Thoulux Paelles (or however the hell it was spelled) because my RL friends that started me on EQ played there. I later found out that was the EQ god of lust.

I'm curious why being so anti-government that you'd join a union??


Still, nice to know more about you.

Well, bascially, the UFCW screwed us.


I'm still a memeber of that union, but I joined and fight with the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World), basically a world-wide union made up of every job class (heh, even strippers and prostitutes have their own branch).
