Really cool thread. As DieHard said it gives me the opportunity to think about myself and flesh out the people posting here.
So here's me:
Name's Michel (what's the problem with giving away my last name, security wise?)
Born 27-8-'89 (so currently 21.5 years old)
Lives in Eindhoven, city of Phillips
I'm currently studying Applied Physics at the Technical University of Eindhoven
Still busy with my BSc, hopefully I'll get it September 2012
MSc after that
Probably doctorate after that
Not sure what I'm going to do after that. I want to get into fundamental research at a university, and hopefully teach a few courses. I need to do a couple of years of research all around the globe.
If not I'll probably work in some company. I'm thinking of specialising in Semiconductors or Plasmas, depending on my capabilities.
Also: low self-esteem.
No job as well. I should kick myself into finding one though...
~181 cm / 6 feet. I don't know exactly
Haven't weighed myself in a long time, but I'd guess it to be 64 kg / 141 pounds (using google here)
Hates studying Quantum Mechanics
Likes reading lecture books from David J. Griffiths
Likes cola/coke
Never used drugs/cigs
Like special beers, rum, cocktails
Somehow I've got a girlfriend (though it's just been 3 months)
I haven't heard of any other male student that irons his clothes except for me
I love my parents and little sister
Like to cook, though not very experienced
I enjoy WTF-ing people / might be a bit random
Likes cute things
Doesn't read much, but I've currently got part one and two of the rain wild chronicles by Robin Hobb that I should start
I've got a sweet tooth. Liquorice, cookies, chocolate (+80% is GOOD, white is EVIL), winegums....
Also like coffee and tea
Coffee = espresso
Don't have a favourite tea, but often put honey in it
Don't follow any shows, but I like a lot of them
Hay fever
I'll stop here, but I do want to explain where 'Shatterer' comes from:
So a few years ago my friends and I wanted to play WC 3 via LAN. Before I always just used 'Michel', but this time I wanted a more anonymous gamer-y name. I liked the undead, specifically the Lich hero. Lich hero was all about ice, so I just used Shatterer. If I can't use it I use Shattereur.
Real name is Keegan (It's Irish or Welsh or something)
I'm 19 years old (just a big baby)
I am the artistic director of my own theatre production company
When I do watch TV (rare) I watch shows like Rome, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Stargate, Survivorman, The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, The John Dore Television Show, Seinfeld (so in other words, super high-value big-name-actors, nature shows, or cheesy comedy)
My laptop is a Dell and has lasted me a surprisingly long time considering how much abuse I put it through (3 years and counting!) and for a cheap $1,000 Dell it can run Fallout 3, Mass Effect, etc on high graphics w/ no problems
I stand 6'2" (1.88m)
Brown hair, beard, moustache & brown/green eyes
Favourite movies include: Inglorious Basterds, District 9, Fight Club, Alien(s), Jurassic Park, American Beauty, 300, Dog Day Afternoon, Full Metal Jacket, Life is Beautiful, Forrest Gump, Terminator, The Lion King, Lord of the Rings...
I do not have a drivers license and have not yet bothered to learn to drive as my family does not own a car
I have a PS3 with games like God of War 3, Killzone 2, Dead Space, Little Big Planet, CoD: MW, MW2, Black Ops, Mortal Kombat...
I love writing as well. Blogging, not as much. I write traditional stories as well as scripts (for theatre, not film)
I also want to learn more about photography. In highschool I learned to use old film SLRs and develop and print the film myself - I want to do more of this!
I hate fast food of all kinds
Favourite "sit down" restaraunt: WhiteSpot (the name supposedly stems from how clean the restaurants were kept, but everyone jokes that it's just racist)
I have an iPhone 3G and it serves me well enough
I don't particularly care for mac computers. I just wish Steve Jobs wasn't such a douche and would let Windows users use Mac software (like Garage Band, etc)
Favourite clothes: Striped blac/grey hoodie over white t-shirt w/ blue jeans & black/white adidas shoes
Favourite food: Spaghetti (just made some the other day)
Favourite drink: Beer as well (Particularly Granville Island, 1516, Stanley Park (local beers), Steamwhistle, and Guinness)
Want to visit Europe, Australia / New Zealand, Africa
I play guitar and am working on getting together a band w/ some friends
I love to design and build websites... and lego stuff
I am a big time theatre geek but don't particularly like most of Shakespeare's plays (I do much enjoy Julius Caesar)'
I have a major hard on for ancient Greece and Rome... yes, in a gay way...
Despite the previous two lines I am actually straight (surprise!)
The people from this site I am closest to are probably Cherie, John, Joseph, Ryan, Ethan, Jeff, and Carlos (despite a falling out)
If that isn't too much about me already... get a life!
Right, I'm Dimitris and "vewy vewy afwaid" of Don_Guillotine right now
Anyway, i'm from Greece and will be 27 this summer, currently staying in Athens (but not for long).
Around 184cm tall (it's a bit more than 6 feet), gained some weight over the last year (which i hope to loose till the summer). Dark brown haired (short), lots of facial hair and green-brown eyes.
Now, usual interests are books (mostly about history or philosophy and some fantasy books like... everything from Tolkien - favorites are The Silmarillion and a few philosophy books from a Norse writer called Jostein Gaarder). I also like movies, but other than Fight Club and American History X it's kinda hard to pick favorites.
I'm also very much into gaming (i own a Nintendo Wii, DS, Xbox360, PSP and my PC of course). Mostly into RPGs or Action RPGs and even tried quite a few MMOs over the last 6 years.
I used to study (might continue) German in the university of Athens, but i'm taking a break from it and also used to work in sales (selling videogames is the best thing ever!) for about 3 years.
Music is also a big part of my life, even though i don't play much lately (i play the violin and started learning how to play bass guitar too), but mostly listen. Favorites genres are Rock (all kinds) to Metal (heavy to power, i can't stand the Black Metal vocalist screams for long).
Been moderating in DiabloFans since last BlizzCon and i'm having lots of fun with the team! I also hope to make a living out of it sometime!
I'm also really into travelling. Travelled alot around Europe and even went to Syria once (shame what's happening there now, it's such a beautiful country) and wish to do it more in the future. I'm also obsessed with ancient civilizations (south american and egyptian mostly) and travelling would be good for that aswell!
I like drinking but hate getting drunk (only happened twice so far). Favorite drinks are Vodka (usually with lemon), Beer and a local drink from my home city called Tsipouro (which is quite strong).

- I've 22 years old

- I study Economics in the local federal university (graduation level)
- I intend to get a master's degree in Mathematical Economics in the brazlian Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics.
- Besides Economics i have great interest in Applied Mathematics, Philosophy of Science, Social and Political Science.
- I work in a research group in the university. We basically try to quantify the effects of policy in the region, make a report and send it to the police makers.
- My favorite field of research is the labor market and unemployment problens.
- My goal is to became a teacher and researcher. I'm really fund of academic life.
- My number one hobby is gaming. I'm in the console side of the force even through i'm a blizzard fan.
- My fav games are King's Field, Demon's Souls and Diablo.
- My number two hobby is listening to music. I like metal but i also listen to progressive rock and brazillian music.

- My fav tv shows are House, Breaking Bad and random stuff on animal planet.
- I like anime, though i'm not a ultimate fan.
- I'm a atheist even through i think religion is something good. It inspire artist and adds alot of souce to many cultures.
- My political view is kinda messy right now. I used to be a libertarian but i'm creating great symphaty for many non libertarian thinkers like Sen and Stiglitz.
- I deeply hate statal moral-based regulations. Homosexual marriage and abortion is a right.
- I love this site hehe
Didn't you ask for a beach? there's lots of options for that. And i wouldn't let you leave unless you visited a few ancient ruins. It's simply unacceptable to visit Greece and not visit some of them (there's too many to see them "all").

Yeah I did mention beaches. I just wondered if there was one, or somewhere in particular you would take me. I will get there some day and if I had a heads up as to what to see and do, that would be great!
So here's me:
Join the chat!
It's because I'm gorgeous, right?
Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions

Hey, I could relate to almost your entire post. You're like a Swedish version of me. I find you incredibly interesting for that reason :P.
... let's just pretend that didn't sound gay, ok
I know
Rise and rise again, until lambs become lions
Hehe thanks. That's nice of you to say!

Slap on some black makeup on her and they are the same person. Even their names are almost the same xD.
