About Me

So you want to know about me, well here goes. Let me star by saying I don't even really know why I'm here. I just got bored one day and signed up. Anyway, my name is Derek and I live in New Milford, CT. About me personally, I don’t really know where to start. But lets take a stab at it anyway, shall we? First off, I love history. I study mainly medieval history around the dark ages and Viking era. I would ultimately love to become a history teacher so I could make learning in the classroom enjoyable.I also enjoy writing poetry, songs and stories and practice this often. Sometimes the best way for me to get something out is through a pen and paper. I also play guitar (sort of), and try to write music to go with my writing sometimes. I’m not very good, so if anyone asks me to play, they shouldn’t expect too much. I have been working with my good friend a lot latley on finfishing up one of my songs. We're making good progress, but still have a bit to go on it.I have a great sense of humor and I am the comic relief a lot of the time in a social setting. I may take a bit to warm up though, sometimes I feel a little out of place in a new setting. But once I get comfortable, let the fun begin.I also believe in good conversation. Whether it be in a group or a one on one situation, a good conversation that with hold my attention is the best. I could sit and talk with (not at) someone for hours if all is going well. I find it relaxing and very enjoyable. I am also a very good listener when someone needs to just talk at someone. And I don’t mean listen like, in one ear and out the other, I mean really listen. If you were to ask my friends about me, I believe they would say that I am know most for my honesty and reliability. I am the one person they can come to if they need anything at all, and without question I will most times do all that I can to help out.Well I could go on, but what fun would that be? Sometimes it’s nice to find things out for yourself. But don't worry, I will update this section as I see fit. And for those of you who actually care about what I do for a living, read on. Although it is quite boring.I am currently working as a photomask technician in Brookfield, CT. For those of you who do not know what a photomask technician is (which is most of the people I tell), I basically create the blueprints for microchip semiconductors. I am in the process of getting things in order to start college within the next year to go for my engineering degree, which will allow me to advance to a higher position at my job. I hope to then continue college to achieve what I really want, a degree in teaching history. I'm also a partner in a small local game company called Gibby Games LLC, based in Danbury, CT. We create and manufacture high quality leather board games. My main responsibility there is to run the company website, but I also work in the research and development of the games. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------Check out my company, Gibby Games LLC!!!------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- .. roundbox top -- heathen223, you're now logged in!

You scored as Gambit. Gambit is another loner character. He loves Rogue. He has a very cool deboner personality. He's done things in his past that he's not proud of but he atones for his actions by fighting for peace with the X-Men. His weapon of choice is the playing card. Powers: Charges objects with kinetic energy by touching them, then they explode like grenades.
