About me

Hello world.

I'm a motorcycling nut, enjoy having OCPD and depression. I dropped out of school during the dot-com boom and worked at MP3.com, Amazon.com, and finally a miserable, confusing year at Big Fish Games. I've now downsized from our large Seattle home and moved into a tiny Downtown Portland apartment so I can go to school at PSU and finish a degree in Computer Science.

I listen to every minute of The Adam Carolla Podcast as well as the constellation of related projects and people: Teresa Strasser, Dr. Drew Pinsky and Loveline, Jeffrey Ross, David Alan Grier, Joel McHale and The Soup, etc.

Good times!

Emailing me

I have the "email a user" function turned off because I got a fairly nasty email due to antivandalism patrolling. I'm not opposed to chatting off-wiki about personal type things. If you want to do so, drop me a talk page message and I will use the email function to send you an email. If yours is disabled, there are some other ways we can get connected.

Meta

• soxred's counter (auto edits, pages created)
• wikichecker
• pics on commons
• RfA notes

Negative personal comments

Semi-amusing comments about me follow. You can get on this list, just keep a few things in mind:

• Be creative! Nothing is worse than a wimpy pointless attack. Read below for inspiration.
• Follow the guidelines at WP:NPA, and wait for your reward.

And the comments:

• "Fascist admin deleting all relevent information."
• "(...) to satisfy your ego? Seriously, what is someone from Seattle who is an Athiest doing on a Canadian catholic highschool page? Troll!(angreh that catholics beat a recard arent you, you poor wittle athiest?)" (later) "And I still think his motivation for what he did was based on his hatred of catholics/christians (...) and mods will always side with the person whose been here for the longest. Meh."
• "F-U Tedder!"
• "Hey, Fuck You Too! And Get a Life (..) Asscheese"
• "Tedder, who are you to judge the events (at my high school...) Stop being a creeper and just edit the stuff in your state."
• "YER A MAGGOT" (page blanking)
• "Tedder you've got to be s-hitting me!!! STOP F-UCKING WATCHING MY F-UCKING TALK PAGE, J-ERKOFF!!! GO BACK TO WATCHING Mr. HANDS!!!" (blocked user page)
• I'm a gay sex nut, enjoy having unwarrented self importance and emo (..)
