thesupervillain Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Real Name: Ryan (aka TheRizzle, aka Rizzz, aka Mister Hater-Blockers, aka Captain Grab-A-Booty, aka Gettin-Somebody-Dotted) Favorite Bands / Artists: The Get Up Kids, The Streets, Converge, Every Time I Die, Ghostface Killah, Lifetime, Hot Water Music, Clipse, Boys Night Out, Saves The Day What's your Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr etc.?: http://www.facebook.com/originalryanmaterial Random things you want us to know about you: I am fairly confident that I am VC's Northernmost Correspondant. I was born in Toronto, but have been living just below the Arctic Circle for the last year and a half. Because of this, I have spent thousands of dollars on records that I haven't even seen because I'm having them all shipped to my warehouse, otherwise known as my Mother's. I used to work at a fairly fancy/upscale dinner club in Toronto and have seen or done the following things: saw Lance Bass and Shannon Elizabeth take two hits of Ecstacy each, "accidentally" touched Fergie's ass, saw Slash from Guns N Roses clear out an entire bar by standing on the bar and shouting "Everyone! To the patio!", pointed out that the man who my co-worker drunkenly insisted was not Ed Harris the actor to his face was in fact, Ed Harris the actor and other such tales of debauchery and shenanigans.

thesupervillain Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm the Secretary-Treasurer for the school board here. Which is really only two schools. Basically I just pay all of the bills for the stuff the school buys, take minutes at meetings and pay any substitute teachers / custodians. I am more or less my own boss, which is how I'm able to spend all day every day on VC. haha. The scariest thing is I moved directly from Australia to here. It was pretty difficult getting used to the temperature change. It was around 35°C (95°F) when I left Australia, and about -40°C/°F when I got here, but it gets as cold as -60°C (-76°F) in the dead of winter.

thesupervillain Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It has actually happened since I've been here. Twice actually. It hardly ever snows, but the wind gets up to 80km/h (50mph) and there's nary a tree to be seen, so the snow that is out here just blows around like crazy. You can hardly see your hand in front of your face, especially if the sun is out (it hardly ever is in the winter. we get about 3 and a half hours of daylight each day between november and march). Once when I first got here, a woman got caught out in a storm like that and she froze to death. They found her about 15 feet from shelter that could have saved her life. Last winter, another woman was just outside of town and couldn't find her way back even though it's literally the only thing around for hundreds of miles. They found her body just over the hill behind the town. Whenever the weather is bad like that, everything completely shuts down, which means you can't get water delivered until it clears. We didn't get water for 6 days last winter because of a storm. There's no plumbing here because the pipes would freeze in that weather, so we have water tanks that are filled by water trucks.
