Who are You?

[Farnan]

Not your name, but post a bit about yourself:

I'll start, at what makes Farnan:

Economic Status: Middle Middle-Class
Urban, Rural, Suburban: Rural
State/County/Province: Pennsylvania
Country: United States of America
Type of Schooling: Public
Year of School or Occupation: Senior (12th Grade)
Age: 18
Religion: Non-Denominational Protesant
Political Stance: Compassionate Conservative/Neo-Conservative or Classical Liberal
Description of yourself: I am a pretty normal guy who suffers from an acute social anxiety, though I am able to overcome it most of the time. I was picked on from about 5th till about the middle of 10th grade and didn't really have many friends. In the middle of the 10th grade everything changed and I started getting friends, and my social status skyrocketed in school. The reason for this change is unknown. I am also considered intelligent in my school, though the validity of this claim is disputable. For my area I am strange in that I am politically astute.
Parent's Occupation: Dad is a Correctional Officer, Mother is an Airport Screener
Ambition: To live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for four years. Though you may consider me naive for this ambition, its always good to aim high.

[Lee1026]

only 4, not 8? I thought you wanted to aim high.....

[Lusted]

Hmm, what about me:

Economic Status: working clas
Urban, Rural, Suburban: Rural
State/County/Province: Sussex
Country: UK
Type of Schooling: Public
Year of School: College (year 13, lasy year before uni)
Age: 17
Religion: Athiest
Political Stance: Left-wing liberal
Description of yourself: Bullied for most of secondary school i am finally becoming more the person i want to be since i started college. With no stupid idiots picking on me, i have been able to shrug off most of the depression that i suffered from as a result of bullying. Now, i have great frineds and am much more certain in my views. I do some volunteer work for the charity Oxfam, and read the New Internationalist magazine, and my favourite newspaper is the guardian.
Parent's Occupation: Dad is an archivist(old records and documents), Mum makes designer bags for a company
Ambition: To become a sci-fi writer.

[Atheist Peace]

Psst! You should really bold the category titles! :wink:

edit: nevermind, that was to Farnan, but he edited bolding in after, so it's irrelevant.

Economic Status:Middle Class
Urban, Rural, Suburban: Suburban
State/County/Province: New York
Country: United States
Type of Schooling: Public
Year of School: High School Freshman - 9th grade
Age: 15
Religion: None
Political Stance: Left-Wing, Liberal (I suppose), very Libertarian
Description of yourself: Hmm... Introverted, somewhat anti-social, very political, argumentative, intelligent. I'm definitely not popular in school at all... in fact, I don't consider a single person there my friend. I don't get picked on either though... which, I guess, is alright. I'm generally considered to be smart by people at school (for example, my entire French class is convinced I'm like some super-genius or something, it's kind of amusing), but that doesn't really seem to get me anywhere. I'm very, very cynical and I often get myself depressed or unhappy over things. It's like... my greatest skill.
Parent's Occupation: My mom doesn't work, my dad works in NYC, and I suppose he's technically some sort of "lobbyist", he really isn't. I honestly don't really know what he does.
Ambition: At the moment, I'm not sure about a long-term one... but a pretty basic one would be to actually just be happy.

Description of yourself: Hmm, Well I guees im popular. But not one of the really really popular ones though im not avredge...I mean Im well known and girls like me but they dont flock to me sort of thing. Im smart and rarely show this in school (avredge is 70 only...) though everyone in school knows im smart and thinks im the smartest in the school. Im pretty sarcastic and im a tough judge on people. Im very blunt, if I dont like you your gonna know about it! Im also truthful to a bad point...but its gotten me a reputation as an upfront truthful and I guees ''Wise'' (lmao) person. When people want to find out something they come to me because im not gonna :wub: them. At times I think my looks are good enough that im a god...but other times I find myself walking into the bathroom and pulling at my hair and am ready to cry....I go back and forth over depression and how shy I am as a result. I dont care of people's opinons of me but I guees to an extent (besides the fact that im trying to remove it from my personality) im self centerd around my looks and thus if im in the wrong mood I dont talk much because im too busy saying ''your ugly your ugly". Oh and im considerd (ehem) the funniest guy in school. Oh and to rap my self up even people I hate (and am very open about it) like me at school. Which is strange. At home I have a bad relatshinship (sp?!?!) with all my family except for my oldest sister. Which is shakey at best.

Ambition: To receive a dual-degree in theology + the classics (Greek and Latin) and early Christian literature with a minor in philosophy. To receive a pHD in theology. As for my career, it is a path too far to see as of yet. Ultimately, to aid others.

[King Henry V]

Economic Status: Middle Class
Urban, Rural, Suburban: Urban
State/County/Province: Geneva
Country: Switzerland
Type of Schooling: Private
Year of School: 10th year of school
Age: 14
Religion: Roman Catholic, though I agree with many of Luther's points (does that make me a High Church Anglican?)
Political Stance: Traditionalist conservative
Description of yourself: I am quiet, withdrawn and quite aloof with most of my class mates. They respect me as very educated and intelligent, and they are sometimes astounded by the breadth of my knowledge ( "How did you know that?" is a fairly frequent question). However, I do not get on well with my peers. I find them to be immature and ignorant, with their conversational topics restricted to modern music (which I hate), sport (which I find dull) and a few other things. It is for this reason that infintely prefer the company of adults, with whom I am on an equal intellectual level. This probably arises from the fact that I am an only child who was almost always in the company of my parents and grandparents, who treated me as an equal, not as a child.
Furthermore, my views are deeply conservative in nearly all fields, from music to politics and economics, and I have the feeling that I was born in the wrong century and that I should have been happier living a hundred years earlier.
Parent's Occupation: Mum manages her own property, Dad is deputy head of the computer department at Geneva Stock Exchange (SwissX).
Ambition: To be a succesful author, politician, entrepreneur, i.e anything that will give me a country estate and an English title.

[Publius Scipio]

So whoever listens to post twenties music and is interested in sports is immature and ignorant (or whatever is the favourite word of you people)?

Description of yourself: normal white suburban kid, though I find that I am more intrested in world events, history etc than most. Though I have plenty of friends, I am somewhat socially awkard, though that is changing (college helps get rid of that). Once you know me, I'm pretty easy to get along with. I do have a pessimist/cynical attitude combined with sarcasm. Some hate that but I think that's why people think I'm "funny" (though I don't). All in all, I would consider myself "normal"-whatever that is

Religion: Catholic

I am tall (6'2"), Athletic, Smart (4.0 GPA), and all around a pretty likeable guy. I used to be really shy, but now I am really energetic and excited about life.

Ambition: Be a lawyer, go into politics, retire and own a lot of land

[Atheist Peace]

Smart (4.0 GPA)

Oh jesus christ... grades are not intelligence!

nobody is normal

Really? So no one can fit the normal standards of society?

[Sétanta]

Oh jesus christ... grades are not intelligence!

You don't see dumb people getting 4.0's do you?

And whats with this Jesus Christ thing. I thought you were Atheist

[Atheist Peace]

You don't see dumb people getting 4.0's do you?

And whats with this Jesus Christ thing. I thought you were Atheist

I am an atheist, yes. I shouldn't have really used it like that, but it's just common practise taking over, rather than religion. Dumb people don't generally get 4.0's, no, but average people can, very, very easily. Grades are very easy to achieve. Intelligence is something totally different. If you fail to make the distinction, then your claim about yourself is likely false.

[Mathias]

You don't see dumb people getting 4.0's do you?

And whats with this Jesus Christ thing. I thought you were Atheist

guess Im smart then. got 4.1 even though I NEVER work with homework at home except writing Essays which I dont do before the last day (used 2 days on a 17 pages essay and got 5)
