Weight: around 64 kg.
Gender: Male

Favourite movies: Anything made by Christopher Nolan or Tim Burton. My absolute favourite is probably Burton's Edward Scissorhands.
Favourite books: American Gods, Newerwhere and the short-story collection Fragile Things, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Discworld Series, The Name of the Wind and His Dark Materials. I have also just begun reading The Wheel of Time, and i must say that it looks pretty good already. Oh and Tolkien's The Hobbit, should be here too.
Favourite comics (This one deserves it's own): The Sandman series, Watchmen, Calvin and Hobbes and Gunnerkrigg Court is what springs to mind first.
About me:

I attend the first year of three on a gymnasium, equal to the last parts of high school, i think, where i study biotechnology (it's good stuff). I really love a good story so i read a lot of books/comics and watch films in my spare time, and occasionally i also find myself writing a short one.

Real Name: George
Nicknames: Georgie, Geo, G and occasionally Lango (I don't like being called by a shortening of my last name but people who aren't close friends still do it, much to my annoyance.) or Georgie L
Age: 20 years old as of last September.
Height: about 5"8
Weight: Just over 9 and a half Stone (Metric is how I roll for weight measurements)
Gender: Male
Favorite Games (board games, card games or video games): Scrabble, Cranium, The Card game Cheat, Fallout 3, World of Warcraft, Half-life series, Arkham asylum (Sequel is out later this year SQUEE). Favorite Court character: Jones
Favorite sport(s): Not much into sports, I did like In-line skating (roller blades as in) and err I'm an OK swimmer.
Favorite movie(s): Forrest Gump, Shrek series, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Jumper, Start Trek, Godfather. Akira, Paprika, Howl's moving castle, Perfect Blue, Ghost in the shell. any that are just mind-boggling.
Favourite book(s): A lot of Terry Pratchett series (especially the witches and Watch ones, but some Rincewind ones are great too.) The Hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy. Weaveworld by Clive Barker. The day of the triffids. Neverwhere by Neil Gaimann. The Watchmen graphic novel. The Killing Joke Graphic Novel. Sandman series of Graphic novels (which I did pirate- shh) The Hobbit by Tolkein was good, not read any of the rest of LOTR books yet though.
Finally, tell us a little about yourself: I study IT in college at a BTEC level, this would be the 2nd time I've studied in college but the 1st time I decided I liked it enough to continue to second year. I play games far too much, I talk bout silly things far too much. I sometimes turn into a bit of a amateur philosopher. Misspelling and grammar annoys me, even though my own spelling and grammar isn't exactly brilliant.
I often muddle my own words or just space out then come back into a conversation with a reply long after the topic has changed. And I rather like using longer or arcane words in conversation when shorter ones will suffice.
I entirely forgotten about Avatar, yep fucking love that too. And also love Danny Boyle films (especially trainspotting)

Since I'm new, I guess I'll take the time to introduce myself.
Real Name: Lauren
Nicknames: Anyone who dares to address me as anything other than my proper name lives not to see another day.
Age: 17
Height: 5'5"
Weight: A lady never tells.
Gender: As previously mentioned, I am a lady.
Favorite Games (board games, card games or videogames): Ookami, Mass Effect series, Pente, Parcheesi, Monopoly
Favorite Court character: Coyote and Jones are both at the top of my list.
Favorite sports: Karate, American football (to watch)
Favorite movies: Chicago, Up, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Third Man
Favorite books: Anything by Haruki Murakami, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Bonjour Tristesse, Dr. Zhivago
Finally, tell us a little about yourself: I usually walk around with my nose in a book. It's hard for me to define what my favorite books are since I tend to fall in love with whatever one I'm currently reading, but I usually enjoy fantasy, "serious" literature, and long-winded Russian novels. I'm going to college soon, and I'm such a weeaboo that I'm actually going to major in Japanese Studies (that's dedication right there). In my spare time, I like to draw and study languages (not at the same time). I'm mostly fluent in French, and I'm currently studying Japanese and Esperanto.
About my username: It does somewhat come from Jones saying "I am not a robot," because I am partial to Jones, but also because it reminded me of a song by one of my favorite bands, Marina and the Diamonds. Coincidentally, it's called "I Am Not a Robot." Speaking of which, my favorite bands are Florence + the Machine, M&TD, Chromeo, Ellie Goulding, Portishead, Norah Jones, and Fleet Foxes. I recommend them to anyone.
That is all. Nice to meet you.

hi hi
I am typically not one to write much about myself, and I'm not sure if anyone ever actually reads these things, but in case it is useful to someone else, here we go.
Real Name: Karl
Nicknames: Karlos, Hobbes, Mr. Blue, Neon, and a plethora of offensive monikers.
Age: Born in 1983
Height: 6 feet 6 inches, or 198 centimeters
Weight: Not a clue, seriously, I haven't weighed myself in years.
Gender: In the vernacular, it doesn't really matter online anyway, does it? If you must, you can probably guess based on my name. In reference to gender identity, I take issue with the assertion that masculinity and femininity are ubiquitously defined.
Favorite Games: Roleplaying Games, with a significant preference for simulationist titles but I am partial to narrativist titles as well.
Favorite Court Character: Kat, there are few things in this world as great as a true friend. They've got your back when you're down, they stick with you when the going gets rough and they'll tell you what you don't want to hear, but need to.
Favorite Sport: Rock Climbing
Favorite Movie(s): The Muppet Movie, Star Trek II, The Hunt for Red October (Ink might make the list if it eventually passes the test of time)
Favorite Book(s): Wasteland of Flint by Thomas Harlan, The Hobbit by John Tolkien, Demonoloy 101 by Faith Hicks
Finally, tell us a little about yourself: I like art, I like storytelling. I wish I could inspire people out of their apathy.

My first post was about something terrible. Felt the need to make my first post terrible so it can only go uphill from here. So now I'll introduce myself properly. Real Name: Colin Nicknames: Mostly Colin. Age: 22 Height: roughly six feet Weight: haven't been weighed in upwards of three years Gender: boy-type Favorite Court character: JONES. And Annie. Favorite Games: Final Fantasy X (and X-2 and XII), Phantasy Star IV, Kingdom Hearts, Ogre Battle 64, Pokémon, Assassin's Creed, countless others Favorite sport: I watch hockey. Favorite movies: Disney movies, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Moulin Rouge, RENT Favorite TV shows: Charmed, Alias, Leverage Favorite book(s): The Potter books, The Mists of Avalon, The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (a lot less lame than it sounds), the Prydain Chronicles, about a billion others and also Marvel comics Finally, tell us a little about yourself: I tend to run a little light on the emotions, which may explain my affinity for Jones and Annie. I used to read a lot, but now I tend more toward video games, although I tend toward those with a compelling narrative, perhaps to make up for the lack of literature. I'm very gay. I play a little piano and love to sing. Music is my life. I live in Maryland right outside of Washington DC, and think it's pretty keen.

Favorite Music: Epic rock/metal à la Arjen Lucassen, Edguy, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold etc. Slipknot, Machine Head, Atreyu, BfmV.. Rock-like electronic music like Infected Mushroom & Pendulum! And pretty much at least a few songs of any other genre. Favorite books: Haven't read much books since primary school.. All my best reads are children's fantasy books etc.. xD Favorite comics: Gunnerkrigg Court, Schlock Mercenary, Questionable Content, Goblins, Between Failures and of course; Sluggy Freelance! A little about me: Lazy procrastinator limited a lot more by will than capability.. Dislike stupid people, people who get easily offended, hypocrites and catching myself being a hypocrite. I'm also not a very serious person

Oh hey cool I didn't know this thread was here looks like fun, I actually kind of miss the old school Xanga survey days of middle school >.> Real Name: Bing Nicknames: Dumbass Age: 23 Gender: I am a Cis-gendered female identified folk. Favorite Games (board games, card games or videogames): ...what is this wizardry? Favorite Court character: Right now Gamma...Zimmy...Kat...Mr.Donlan...Anja...Coyote...Shadow...heck all of them! Although I feel not so partial to Rey...maybe I'm just wouldn't want to be in his situation. Favorite sport(s): running, shooting range, hiking, jujutsu, marathon sleeping. Favorite movie(s): Grave of the Fireflies, Schindler's List, My Neighbor Totoro. Favorite book(s): Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Raising my Voice (Malalai Joya, first female PM of Afghanistan), War is a Force that Gives us Meaning (Chris Hedges), An Ordinary Man. Finally, tell us a little about yourself: im a pre med student so im usually pressed for time but I still find time to be creepin' the forums...a lot. I like to travel, do NGO stuff, and take photos (shameless plug: leafscar.tumblr.com/). I'm a soldier. I like to draw pictures but my style right now is like a blend of manga and GC (go figure). I used to draw a webcomic but right now I dont have time. I like food. EDIT: oh yes favorite comics! webcomics: 14 Nights (nsfw), Abominable Charles Christopher, Power Nap, Paranatural, Quiltbag. other comics: I really like Naoki Urasawa stuff...I own the whole Pluto series. And Osamu Tezuka is my hero. Also like Yokohama Kadaishi Kikou...its about a robot.

Hopefully it's not a problem to bump up threads... because where better for a first post than in the intros section?
Real name: Sarah
Nicknames: Caneesh or Neesh ((I pretty much always use BlueCanary for all my online things, and it was suggested to me that Canary was too tedious to type, and that Caneesh would be better... and somehow it stuck.))
Location: Ohio
Age: 24
Height: 5'8"
Weight: Much too much, I'm sure.
Gender: Female
Favorite Games: Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus, Risk, Euchre, Tetris, Rummy, Egyptian Rat Screw, Speed
Favorite Court Character: City Face
Favorite Sport: Umm... dancing around my room singing into a hairbrush? Totally a sport. For reals.
Favorite Movies: Persepolis, Dr. Strangelove, Dark Knight, Moulin Rouge, Love Me if You Dare
Favorite Music: This is a hard one for me. Favorites vary so much with my mood in this category. XD They Might be Giants (obviously), Interpol, Ella Fitzgerald, Mumford and Sons, Cold War Kids. So much more as to become tedious.
Favorite books: Just as hard as the music! Wilkie Collins, A Song of Ice and Fire, Pendergast series, Antigone, Catch-22, Hitchhiker's Guide. If it's fantasy, comedy, thriller, classic, mystery... I'd enjoy it. Not too picky on what I read.
Favorite comics: Gunnerkrigg Court (nowai!), Questionable Content, Redstring, Khaos Komix, Rice Boy, Anders Loves Maria, asofterworld
A little about me: I'm a person, and I like to give names to things that don't normally have them. I'm from the middle of nowhere Ohio, and while I've traveled some, I haven't really lived elsewhere. I even attended college in a different portion of middle of nowhere Ohio. I have a bachelor's in Anthropology, with minors in religion and chemistry... though that has not aided the job market where I am, and I'm currently working midnights at a job I could have gotten without college. It's probably a bit depressing that I'm glad to even have that.
I really like writing, and I do so frequently, though this is survey is hopefully not a testament to my skills in the area. I also really like My Little Pony, and I do custom edits when the mood strikes me, and have enough money to afford supplies. I also read a lot, listen to a lot of music, and tend to have this horrible habit of sleeping.

It's probably a bit depressing that I'm glad to even have that. Hey, you're doing way better than me on my first run through the grand college system! I got a history degree despite people telling me it was a worthless slip of paper. Guess what? In this economy they're all worthless slips of paper, at least as far as finding a specific career. I've got history, which makes me happy, and then I've got freelance writing and grunt work jobs that pay (some of) the bills. I'm going back right now to go up to masters (and perhaps doctorate, if I can find the money) on the same subject. I've done more menial labor jobs in the intervening years than I feel comfortable admitting, but I've got my eye out for a niche at a think tank or policy org or something where I could do what I love. You just have to persevere, keep on truckin', and something will come your way eventually. At least, that's what I keep telling myself, and I haven't gone bonkers yet so it's either the truth or a really convincing lie.
