lonesomexloveus Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 with all the new people posting here as of late, i thought it'd be a good idea to start a thread just to get to know each other a little better. superficially, obviously. after you've been here awhile we can all learn everyone's deepest secrets and all your insecurities. BUT FOR NOW. i will start it off! Video Player is loading.

I'm 31 and still straight edge, I am a workaholic, I can silk screen stuff to a limited degree and rather enjoy doing that, though I don't get to very often. Play in a band? Run a record label?

Random things you want us to know about you: I don't consider myself straight edge any longer as I am not a fan of the label, but I don't drink, smoke or do drugs so take that for what you will. I love coffee more than any sane person should. Last year I set a world record at Pitchfork's music festival in Chicago and it was broken a day later. I go to school at Columbia College Chicago and am perhaps the only person there that does not appreciate Animal Collective. Want to know anything else? Just ask.

Guest eriathomas Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Real name: Thomas. Everyone calls me Tom or Tommy though, even though I sort of prefer Thomas. Favorite Bands: Portugal. The Man, Asobi Seksu, Kay Kay And His Weathered Underground, Park, Murder By Death, Glassjaw, If These Trees Could Talk, more. What's your Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr etc.?: None. I deleted my Facebook a while back, and it was the only social networking site I used. Hobbies (outside of record collecting): I watch Anime, love to play console RPGs and other videogames, and like to mess with computers. I'm pretty much a nerd at heart I guess. Play in a band? Run a record label? Link us!: N/A Random things you want us to know about you: I'm 24 years old, currently enrolled at the University of Akron majoring in CIS: Cisco Networking. As many of you know I have pretty bad anxiety that's been affecting my life the last few years, and in the last year I've seem to have developed some hypochondriac tendencies. I used to be in an anime DVD fansub group, we pretty much put subtitles on the Japanese DVD and redistributed them online, but left since physical media is dying (and it was a pain stacking time suck). I'm really insecure about my future, because I'm pretty sure I choose the wrong major (even though I love computers), but somehow I still take life a day at a time. I'm hoping to move out to Seattle in the next few years, but I'll have to see how my life is then. Not much else I guess, I'm pretty boring.
