TheQuirk:
Bah. I might as well tell people about myself, not unlike the others in this thread.

My name is Gleb, and I'm a mere highschool student. Once I hit college, I plan to study physics or math. I speak English, Russian, and Hebrew fluently (as well as write and read them perfectly), and am currently learning French in a classroom (after learning three languages very well just by growing up around them, I now find that classes do not give justice to language learning).

I grew up in Minsk (Belarus--I usually say Russia, because most don't know that Belarus actually exists, sadly), Jerusalem (Israel, I'm sure you know), and Houston (Texas).

I exclusivly use Slackware Linux, unless I have to do something special with Windows (sometimes something does arouse and I have to install it).

As a hobby, I program and mess around with hardware, and enjoying reading up on both.

I only speak French and English fluently; I learnt Spanish and German at school. I once travelled to Europe  for two weeks -- an experience I have thoroughly enjoyed. I mostly visited France, some bits of Belgium and Netherlands, and briefly Monaco and Germany. Today I mostly waste my time on the computer. I really need to find something else to do.

Pissed_Macman:
Gleb would be a cool name to have, but not as cool as Bob of course. I hope to visit Europe someday (I don't think Canada exactly counts as Europe).

okay. i guess i can actually tell a little bit about myself. My real name is Roy. I write ecsyle. By write i mean, i sign all of my art with ecsyle. It was my graffiti name, but my art evolved and graffiti become like nothing to me. I am a self-taught artist and have been drawing for as long as i can remember. For the last few years though, i have been hooked on the computer, and have neglected my art altogether. This is changing as i more frequently turn the damn machines off. I used to write (poetry, and other crap  ;) , and was actually good at it, but have been out of practice for a long time. My writing now is choppy and my vocabulary is non-existent. I used to be into the "rave" thing until it died and was replaced by drug hungry pre-teens who molest each other on the floor. Now i am really finding myself into hip hop again, real hip hop, like eyedea, slug, prince paul, brother ali. none of this "gangsta" rap crap. I do enjoy almost all types of music, and have been listening to alot of, i guess you could call it "emo". I couldn't turn a computer on in '99. I used windows up until last summer when a freind traded me his old g4 for some POS pda (sucker  ;)  ). After that i installed linux on an old machine and have been geeking out ever since. It has gotten worse, so like i said, i turn the damn machines off. I read in my free-time. Currently i am reading this book about zen & japanese culture. More specifically, the impact on japanese culture. I have just finished Shogun by james clavell, and it has spun me in the crazy japanese fetish now. I am also reading martin elsens theater of the absurd, which is about the theater of the absurd and some of the more dynamic writers of the style. I do not know much about theater, so this, i think, is a great way to be introduced. My favorite book to this day reamains a toss up between the Dune, and Nine Princes in Amber. actually, i guess it would be the first 3 dune books and the first 5 amber books. whatever. they kick ass. I have just started a small design firm with a few freinds called Eskador, and it is showing alot of potential. hopefully it keeps up  ;)

NikS:
Yesterday I had a short talk with myself:
-NikS, shut the f*ck up OR post smth normal.
-Why? Come on, that thing 'bout Ak74's was cool!
-Your last post was shit and you do know it.

So I decided to tell smth about myself too.
As I have already told, my name is Roman. (by the way, it's pronounced romAn - they called me rOman in the US   ) I speak Russian, English and German (a bit) and plan to learn Korean.

I used to be a member of a "military sport-technical club" - I got some weapons&vehicles experience (I still don't understand how those cinema commandos fire AK's in full auto and hit the target with all 30 bullets   ), did two trips to the US and four to China.

I even tried to write smth (the result was 2 chapters of a well-(un)known (un)published "Rotten-Life : Adventures in Black Mess-up", a (supposed-to-be) parody on Half-Life.)

PS Oh, and I had a birthday three days ago.
