Who Are You?

[Mosch]

Orginal gepostet von ipaintminis
(...)I would say I\'m ever so much a geek (hahaha, maybe thats why I\'m single lol).

Nope. Men actually want geeky girlfriends (I should know, I went for Cheryll. Tell her I said that and you die, by the way.) - at \"best\" they\'re afraid that you\'re smarter than them which is a stupid thing to be afraid of.

As for myself... my actual name is Patrick, but everyone calls my Mosch. Yes, everyone.
I\'m 23 - still can\'t believe it, I feel like 18 or 19.
I live in Germany and study applied information technologies (There\'s no equivalent for that outside of Bochum, as far as I know, so I just made the translation up on the spot). I\'m in the sixth semester and will probably have to stop because I can\'t afford to pay for it anymore (the price was \"slightly adjusted\" and now I would have to pay about six times the former price).
I paint for no particular reason. I simply like painting.

Is it just me or do threads like this just make you feel old? You and I are the oldest posting in this thread so far. How about I buy you a drink and we watch the kiddies play? :beer:

Jim, older than Liz and younger than Donna (54), currently single but have a \"personal best\" of 15 years married, have kids, all boys, one of whom got me into mini painting and CMON. All the boys (and therefore 51.5% of my money) live in Texas. Have painted/drawn/sculpted all my life. Currently on hiatus from mini painting until I get my cataracts fixed. I live in Central New York State, near Syracuse, and currently do tech support for a med electronics company (along with a number of other \"odds & ends\" jobs for the company)

Bryan - 34 - neurologist in Phoenix, AZ - Married for almost 3 years - got back into painting after a long hiatus to do something creative and to unwind from work.

 

[Bengoodall]

Benjamin James Goodall.

Born in Newmarket England, using a third world delivery system, namely a vaccuum cleaner attached to my head and turned to full.

Basically been like that since, slow difficult and noisy as hell.

Am now 23, couple months from 24, but feeling a lot older at the moment cause Im not doing anything.

Allegedly I am a sound technician by trade, but will busk/shag/beg for food if I have to.

...Like walks on the beach, romantic candlelit dinners, watching the sun go down...or up, and walking the dog...


Paint cause I am bi polar/manic depressive/a bunch of other stuff I cant remember, possibly ADHD, and cant sit still.

And theres only so much a man can masturbate before it starts becoming painful.

Hence currently single also, but willing to give anyone a go

Especially seeing as its turned out Liz is married, Becca is in florida, and not going to travel to marry me, and shaz lives somewhere near india.

And wiccan just scares me.

Oh! And I forgot! I\'m also Supervike\'s Doppelganger

It\'s times like this that you realise grammer nazi\'s maybe get unjustified stick.

As for myself my name\'s Hugh, i\'m 18 from the crap side of London\'s beautiful borough of Richmond, no wife, no children, no mates. Proud sufferer of Asperger\'s syndrome, I paint because i must!

Maurice Tousignant, 32, from The Armpit of Canada, Windsor Ontario where we\'re more American then some Americans due to the constant (annoying) infleunce of Detroit.

Married for 3 years, to a woman I have loved for 17. Brand new parent as of just over a week ago.

Been playing games with minis since I was about 8, inherited my fathers old roleplaying and mini collection and haven\'t stoped playing since. I paint infrequently, very infrequently. I find I haven\'t improved much over the years, though I did see a marked improvement after finding cmon in 2002

Hi...... I\'m Jen, 32, dental technician and apprentice pewtersmith , with way too many hobbies to list, but painting and riding horses are up there. I started painting about five years ago when a freind said he would pay me to paint his space marine army. Lucky for me, he didn\'t need them to look too good. I\'ve improved a little since then and have gotten hooked on 54mm knights and napoleonics. I still do have a couple people to paint for, otherwise I sell painted stuff and jewelry at local renaissance faires.

I paint for gaming and I like entering painting competitions at local conventions up in LA too. Brookhurst Hobbies is my favorite place to shop, so much so, they started giving me Christmas cards a couple of years ago. : )

Thanks for letting me ramble. : )

Rather amusing, mine gave me an Xmas gift this year, the original Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Character pack, as they knew I was a WFRP fanatic.
