Introduce yourself here!

When you introduce yourself, tell us something small about yourself. It doesn't have to be big, of course, but it makes for a better introduction. Some ideas include:

    * Your name
    * Where your forum alias comes from
    * How old you are
    * Your native language/home country
    * Where you go to school
    * How you came across The 8th-Circuit
    * What conventions you attend
    * What your hobbies are
    * What sports you play or are interested in
    * What your job is
    * Your favorite:
          o Game
          o Band
          o Book
          o Movie
          o Comic
          o Food

The possibilities are endless, so start posting! Let us know who you are, get out there, and start talking to people.

M-alice, for male-alice apparently. orz

you know, for months, I thought it was just the noun "malice", like malicious....


and I guess I'll fill in some stuff in while I'm here, even though I detest having to introduce myself. I usually need an explosion & dramatic entrance that heralds the apocalypse before introducing myself.

[yellow]

Bonjour! Je m'appelle JohnJohn or Jean-Jean and well, that's as far i got in french class.
I despise the color yellow but am strangely drawn, intrigued, and maybe even fixated on it. So i tend to use yellow in my screen names.
I was born, raised, and currently living in Socal but my estranged motherland is the Philippines. 
I go to elco with a couple other members of this site. So elco represent!! (jk no one is ecstatic about ecc)
I got an invite a while back but never looked into it. Recently I was at Over's and saw how nicely done this site is, props Genki, so i joined wanting to see what's up.
Been to a few convention: one for diving, some anime expos, and the LA car show (?)
I've been trying to find more constructive rather than destructive hobbies and just today decided to take up rollerblading because of my obsession with jet set radio.
Recently:
          o Played: Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Fallout3.
          o Listening to: a lot of Blackalicious and reliving my childhood through some Third Eye Blind
          o Reading: House of Leaves and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
          o Watched: Son of Rambow and Littoral
          o Consumed: nicotine and diet coke (the breakfast of champi-coked up supermodels)
And well, eating curry is like having 100 gorgeous virgins continuously orgasming in your mouth whilst the cure's Close to Me blasts from 8 ghetto blasters forged into a lazy boy chair set on THE lowest recline position. And yes you're sitting in the chair while getting a massive head rush from shooting that smooth, burning hot heroin, boyo.
