Insert witty introduction here
A lame title, but all I could think of. Obligatory introduction thread go~
Let's see... alias is just an online moniker I came up with at random, based on a shirt I was wearing at the time I was registering for an online game quite a few years ago. I bear no relation to any marine life whatsoever - at least, not within a couple hundred million generations or so. Also, the '-son' suffix ought to give away my gender. As for what I do, all but finished with my master's, now in the 'looking for a job' market, which has been less successful than I would have hoped so far. Still gotta keep trying, though. Other than that, live with my dog.
Hobbies and interests? I'm a fairly big history buff - particular favorite area of interest being medieval Europe. Also play plenty of video games, primarily within the strategy genre, but not the only genre. Have had a couple of creative projects I've worked on and off just because I love going through the world-building process when my mind gets going, but I'm not quite as good with populating them with characters, leaving a huge stack of ideas just sitting in the back of my head. I mean, I can write a few, but generally have a hard time focusing on more than that, and well... one or two characters does not a story make. Unless you're writing Waiting for Godot, I suppose.
As for why I joined, well... probably something to do with binge-reading all 800+ pages in the last day. Probably.

Re: Insert witty introduction here
Don't worry, everybody has done that before. Read 800 pages in one go. Regardless, welcome to the Twokinds forums Sharkson.

Mm. It's always weird, coming across and going through a long work, then realizing that you've hit the most recent page and now have to wait for the rest of it to come.

Man, am I late. So much can go on in a few seconds, when life really does pass you by. Next thing I knew, I looked at my clock and it was 10 o'clock. Dayam. So, yes. Introductions. Where did I put it..
No, really...where did I put it?!
Oh well, I'll have to make a new one.
Oh, wait! Nope, found it!
Hello and welcome to the forums. I hope you enjoy your stay, but before you go off to explore the many... pleasures here, I'm gonna lay down some ground rules.
Firstly, order only the strongest alcohol. You're not gonna need your neurons here, anyway. Second, leave all weapons by the door, excepting one. Third, if you happen upon our busty topless waitress, give her a nice slap on her rear. She lives for it, trust me. Lastly, if you see a sock on my doorknob, you can't find the waitress and my door is closed.. well...
