Hello, MysteryClassic here! I used to have a profile on here and a disqus account, but I decided it might be better if I just start over with a new one! (Plus, changing passwords is a pain).

So uh, I'm currently the same age as Reynir and living in Canada. I'm also an introvert (shocking), so I probably won't be making posts here too often, just every now and then. I might occasionally put up some art if I'm in the mood to  ^-^

I honestly can't remember how I found ssss, I was wracking my brain last night trying to figure it out  ;D Hope this posted okay...

Heyo! /o/ Well, a lot of us are introverts here, so you're in good company. ;p
And hooray, another Canadian! We'll take over eventually, maybe. (Quietly. So subtly that nobody will notice until after.)

We should count how much we have been to write something like that... ::)
Anyway, welcome MysteryClassic :) *Offers the traditional cookies* :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie:

Hello everyone! :)) I'm 39, from Wisconsin, USA (though moving to Texas in May). I work as a mechanical engineer. I can't remember how I found aRTD, but I think it was a banner ad in Schlockmercenary that had a pretty drawing in it. Started to read SSSS a few months ago and quickly caught up. I love Minna's style and different outlook/treatment of characters from most of the fiction I consume. Oh, and the most important thing in my life right now is my Son should be born in March. Woohoo! 8)

I don't speak any other language fluently though I studied Russian for a year (over two decades ago) and dabbled in level 1 Italian.

Oh, and no one describes me as introverted unless a party/gathering is too loud for me to understand what people are saying. Then I get super uncomfortable.
It's never cold enough.

Yes! I don't know why Canada would want to be in charge of our mess, honestly, but they're welcome to it.

Also...I've been remiss in welcoming people. So welcome to the forum, MysteryClassic, spartandude, G0vnah, and moonamaija! And welcome back princeofdoom!

All polite and submissive non-Canadians will be welcomed into our fold come our time of ultimate tyranny! Those who show automatic obedience to perceived authority, a fondness for a Tims double-double, and/or demonstrate a tendency for self-effacing introspection are especially assured of Canadian citizenship once our annexation begins.

Phew, I think this means I'm safe.

Welcome to all the new people!

Hi, Reg! I know there are a few other aviation peeps here (I'm waffling around the edges of that interest, it's really cool but I'm not super super invested). What do you think of Mechanical? I'm trying to decide between doing that or Aerospace when I go to college (next school year).

Also, G0vnah, Mechanical is sort of the general Engineering when you want to distinguish it from, say Civil (bridges, sewers, etc.) or Electrical. It more has to do with "how do these pieces that could be part of anything interact and move together?"

Hi Regolith, I hope you'll be more in the conversations on the Forum, since you've introduced yourself.
