I figured one way to make people more active around here is to start talking about who we are, and where we come from.
I'm 20 years old, a junior at the University of Illinois. My major is history and I have a minor in religious studies. I'm a big fan of soccer, known to the rest of the world as football, and play as a defender for my dorm's team. I have a Guinness-stained Irish flag hanging on my wall, plenty of books for this semester's classes on my shelf, and a collection of out-of-circulation coins from foreign countries. My desk is always strewn with papers, my bed is always neatly made. I voted for Obama in 2008, but will vote Green Party come 02 November (the Democrats and Republicans in Illinois are both corrupt in Springfield). I'm a cynical liberal, fond of authority and distrusting of democracy.

Good idea,
Well, i'm 21, going to Binghamton University, i'm currently an Art History Major, but i've switched every year, from Art Education, to Graphic Design, to fine Arts. I do alot of painting, but about I have about 7time more unfinished paintings then completed ones. I love the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, old music mostly. I make an annual trip to NYC most years, I went to Italy the some before last for a Renaissance Art History class, where I saw everything from Michaelangelo's David to the Roman coliseum to the Sistine Chapel, and more. And this last summer went to Vegas with my buddies. ^_^
I actually worked the polls in my town during Obama's election & voted for him.
I'd say i'm somewhere between a Hippies & Anarchist, but as time goes on I merely think that neither Democracy nor King or Dictator, Communism or whatever, really work as man cannot rule man...
Strong believer in Macbeth's power corrupts, doubting any Human could really rule as a king or Dictator.
While also seeing the painfully slow & easily manipulated efforts of Democracy, not to mention that once you finally make a decision it is of the majority of people, which majority of people are average intelligences, then you have low intelligence input, so you don't really end up with the smartest decision being made with Democracy.

heh, I've some time to write this: I'm 19, and majoring in environmental sciences in Amsterdam (hope to do a minor in history or international relations). I've also lived in Asia for a large part of my life, which was quite an experience. I used to swim, and I'm fond of gaming (RTSes in particular). My music taste ranges from hard rock to thrash metal, though I'm okay with most music except some hip-hop and electronic music breeds. My favorite bands include Helloween, Rhapsody of Fire, Deep Purple, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Nightwish, Blind Guardian and Metallica. If the major didn't give it away, I'm rather environmentally motivated, and also a leftist (if COIN leadership didn't give that away). I voted for GreenLeft in the previous election, but I considered the Labor Party too. I've become distrusting of corporations and find measures of economy superficial- seriously that Global Happiness Index (read it somewhere) is much more appropriate for measuring nations than GDP. I'm equally fluent in Duth and English without that laughable accent, and I wield some skill in French.
Might as well finish off with a Gandhi quote I found in my enviro book: "There is enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed."

God, im the youngest one here, arent I? Where do I start? Im 16, I live in the States. Im an avid musician. I play the bass, guitar, piano, saxaphone, harmonica, and concertina. I suppose im somewhat of a gamer, but not as much as I used to be. I read alot. Im bisexual. If I cant make a career in music then im also interested in getting a degree in the arts, psychology, or history. As far as music go's I mainly listen/play acoustic and indie stuff. My favorite bands are Modest Mouse, The Shins, Margot and the nuclear so and sos, The Decemberists, The Whte Stripes, Cage the Elephant, The Beatles, Phoenix, Muse, Beck, The Cold War Kids, and a few others that im too tired to remember now. However I will listen, and can appreciate almost all music, besides rap and modern country. I drink completley inhumane amounts of coffee. I havent done alot of travelling yet, but im planning a trip to London with the Band at my highschool, next year. My family does nothing but debate politics and religion, so I also do that. Im an atheist, and im more of a moderate, but my hippie/anarchist side comes out every now and then. I suppose im somewhat of a geek, as I play DND, Warhammer, Magic the gathering, and I started a Quidditch team at my school. But suprisingly, despit all of that, ive had the same girlfriend for about a year and a half. I spend almost all of my time with her.

I'm 17, English and Male. I'm taking my AS-levels with Chemistry, Physics, Maths and History (all the fun ones ). I am hoping to pursue a career in Aeronautics I used to play a wee bit of Guitar, but I had to give up for family reasons. My current favourite bands are: Muse; Kasabian; Nephew; Blood Red Shoes; Coldplay; and Ludes. Although, most of the music I listen to is Indie. I read many books, my most favourite collections being the Culture novels, by Iain M. Banks; and the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. I have become addicted to Jaffa Cakes and started to try new foods, like Coffee, and Squid, and Anchovies. I am an avid Atheist, but like to discuss/argue with religious peoples, about why they believe in a creature which has shown no sign of existing. I am a Socialist. "Lead on Macduff!"

Oh well I thought I was the youngest Im 16. Im from New Jersey but I dont really like it here because NJ has a bad rep now because of the show Jersey Shore , even though none of them are from New Jersey and people that live here arent like that at all. I play football (american) for my high school. Im an avid New York Jets fan and I am also a fan of NASCAR and other motorsports. I also call myself a car guy and am considering taking up a career in the auto industry. Im not really picky when it comes to music, I can listen to anything. I consider myself intelligent compared to most of my generation. I think its sad that most kids today can care less whats going on around them. I consider myself to be fiscally conservative and socially moderate. I play Xbox in my spare time. I would probably be classified as a republican but I think idiots like Sarah Palin are bringing the party down the drain.

Im 16 aswell. I live in Michigan, and i like it. i shovel snow alot during the winter, and i take trips up north every summer. Ive been to Dallas, and Miami. I was born in Russia, and i was raised by an Catholic Italian family, so naturally im Catholic too. i can draw, its one of my talents; But i dread it as it is no longer fun for me. Its like a chore that i want to do but i dont have the mind set. I listen to Michael Jackson, he is my favorite artist, i also listen to: Orianthi, Hootie and the blowfish, Katy Perry, and Kesha.
I used to Know DM, Teutonic, and Evoo, on NS 2 years ago when i owned a region called chinchillawater, then one summer when i went away on vacation i gave admin password to chinchillawaters fourms to DM. and He, s-2, evoo and many others just destroyed my region.
btw i still am pissed about that fourm. taking out my region was ok, but messing up my fourm was mean. I had something on there i kinda wanted, and still want today...but i cant get it back.

Oh gosh I gave S-2 the password to the forums, probably the funniest thing I've ever seen happen on NS. Uhm, but I'm 16, Female. I'm a junior in high school and live in the U.S. Illinois to be exact. Not religious. I love music, mostly rock/alternative genre but I have favorites in a vast number of categories. My biggest interest is in writing, I absolutely love it. I've also taken a recently liking to economics.
