Why does typing this feel like a Personals Ad?

[joshuagoliath]

Name: Joshua, AKA Goliath Strongarm, AKA Dane Ironhelm, AKA, Noneya Bidness

Age: Physical, or mental?

Real World Living: Hell. No, seriously. Have you ever been to Tucson? Or lived with your in-laws? I do both. I live in HELL!

Real World "stuff": Full time (and then some) Anthropology student with a focus on Archaeology, with a planned specialty in the Middle East.
Married, with one (and there will never be more!) rugrat, currently age 3 1/2, going on 13. I wish making kids eat soap was still legal.
I spent over a decade in the Army. Then was stupid enough to join the National Guard when I got out. And yes, I'll probably stay in the guard and keep going, to get that eventual retirement. (If I live long enough). 3 deployments to Iraq. No, I will not answer the "So, did you ever kill anyone?" questions.

Gaming Since: Umm.. a lot of the kids I'm going to college with weren't born when I started slinging dice. I feel old now, thanks.

Started Gaming with: OWoD (although, back then, it was just WoD) and AD&D. Then I was introduced to Palladium Fantasy, and fell in love.

Favorite Setting: Palladium Fantasy

Favorite System: I couldn't answer that. Really, I like a lot of aspects from a lot of different systems.

Anything else you wanna know? Ask. I might answer. Depends on my mood.

Do you like pie?

[joshuagoliath]

Sometimes. It really depends on the type of pie, and the way it was prepared. Some days I like apple. Some days I like peach. But, it has to be a REALLY disgusting pumpkin pie for me to turn it down.

3 deployments to Iraq.

Even though I am not American.....Thank you.

In other news: If someone says something stupid, they should be prepared for me to call them out on it. And worst of all, I will use FACT and DATA to back up what I say.

I don't call a spade a spade. I call it a fucking shovel.

Postscript: Jaymz, I never did it for the thanks. The thought is appreciated though.

I am yet to meet a military person who did or does. Thank you anyway. You and all others who serve deserve to at least be thanked for it.
