I love this site and I still read it and refer to it a lot but as life has gone on, I just don't have the time to devote to editing and participating in the community as I used to, especially in 2007-2011. I'll be around occasionally, but it's become increasingly clear to me that I probably won't be able to be very involved in the future. I learned a lot here about how to come to an agreement with people who do not follow the same worldview as myself and I also honed my research and writing skills, which was and is a tremendous help in both college and as my career has progressed after I graduated. Below is my user page as it was when I was more active if you are interested. I wish you the best. ]]] 12:49, 17 November 2017 (UTC) | |||

Hello and welcome to my user page. <br /> | |||
<!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> | |||
I have been a member of ] since ], ] (though the records say ] because of time zone differences). I discovered Misplaced Pages in August of 2006 when its articles on pretty much every common noun started showing up in the top ten results on Google's search engine. At first, I didn't really edit much, though as time went on, I found myself correcting grammatical errors and such fairly regularly. I continued to use Misplaced Pages more and more until I decided to join the project.<br /> | |||

I am very interested in all forms of ] and I often use Misplaced Pages to find the definition of unfamiliar words and terms related to computing technology. In addition, I commonly visit pages relating to video games, astronomy, and science in general. As mentioned previously, I really enjoy computer programming, so if you need help with formatting or modifying a template, userbox, or another area that requires at least a moderate level of programming expertise, I am happy to help out. <br /> | |||
When I'm not editing or participating in other areas of Misplaced Pages, I enjoy reading articles on topics that are not available in any other encyclopedia, such as ] and ]. Although much of my time here is spent on relatively few groups of pages, sometimes I like to just pick a random, slightly interesting link, go on to that article, read it, and repeat the process. | |||
<p style="font-size:150%">About Me</p> | |||
I was born and live in ] and I think this is the best state in the ], regardless of what any Texans might say. <br /> | |||
My interests include reading, ] and ] programming and... well, I guess that's about the useful things I do.<br /> | |||
In my spare time, I enjoy watching ], playing video games (favorite game: '']''.), and playing sand-lot ]. (even though I'm not very good at it.)<br /> | |||
I also enjoy eating ], ], ziti, (basically anything ]), and most ].<br /> | |||
