Expanded Member Profiles

Post by Kurt_ »

To start off, KEEP THIS CONSTRUCTIVE. Mods, please help enforce this rule.

We all know each other. Barely. This will serve as a sort of expanded member profile, to better understand the people behind the posts. Fill out the following form. If you don't want to fill out a part of it, you don't have to. Please leave location and other potentially sensitive information vague.

I'll go first:
Username: Kurt_

First Name: Kurt
Middle Name: Alexander
Age: 18 (come tomorrow)

Location: Ontario, Canada.

When you you get up on Weekdays/Weekends: 6:48/10-11ish
What time is it now: 10:51 AM

Driver's License (boating license, etc.): G1 (For those that don't live in Ontario, it means I can drive only with a parent. I COULD get my G2 but then I'd have to pay for insurance. G2 = full driving privileges, except demerit points do nothing.)

Past Electronics/Soldering Experience: SNESp. Before that, only minimal experience, such as adding a switch to a DC motor and a AA or two, and taking things apart, and TRYING to put them back together.

Current Project: Part gathering for NESp in a GBO, like G-force did and like Turbo's currently doing.

Education (Current year, if applicable): High School Graduate, back for a semester (12+).

Strongest Subject: Chemistry, but I'd need a refresher before you quiz me on it!

What do/did you want to be when you grew up: Part of a R&D team.
Inspirations, Role Models: Iunno. Lotsa things!

Current Job/Career: None. Focusing on doing well in school.

Problems/Diseases/Disabilities: I don't sleep well. TBD what it is.

Weirdest thing you've ever done: Too many to count.

Most adventurous thing you've ever done: Rode a shopping buggy down a steep hill. Shoes did not work as brakes. I realised that on the way. They did also not help steering.

Funniest thing you've ever done: I don't do things that are intentionally funny. Does bringing and using a collapsible lawn chair to math class count?

How do you spend your free time: Computer, Designing things that are beyond me to actually create.

Favourite Member(s): Most of the older members. Luc Zero is great. He's the only one who supported me and went out of his way to comfort me when all you guys were hatin' on me. Jedi Knight was the only one who went out of his way to apologize. Apart from that, Turbo's pretty cool. He's often overlooked these days, but makes some great portables. The list could go on an on, but won't exceed 4318.
Feel free to add things, just keep it constructive. I purposely left out Lease Favourite/ Most hated member. Don't add it in, or discuss it at all.

I must say, I've learned some things (and LoL'ed at some).

I too suffer from anxiety, probably. I'm very high-stress.

Pegleg. "I a tard". Funniest thing I've read all week. I'm still laughing.

Iam, i didn't know you were Canadian. I knew at one point, but I forgot.

Woot! Although I don't think I'm worthy of #1 favourite member. Think harder, you'll find someone better. *cough* luc *cough*
