Hello,
I'm 27 years old. I am an American from Boston. I studied philosophy and cultural theory at university.
At uni I met my wife, a Belgian woman. She was one of my teachers at university. After I passed the class I asked her out, and now here I am in Belgium posting to your forum.
For work I've been a security guard, janitor, plumber's assistant, librarian, ESL teacher, painter, and who knows what next. Hopefully something that pays better and has health insurance. I used to want to be a philosophy professor but I found the people I was working with in the PHD track to be the most pretentious and arrogant vein-heads imaginable, so I dropped it and I now have to find a fresh start career wise.
I have been living in Belgium for the past seven months, but plan on returning to the states later this year--I just cant find work here due to the language barriers and I miss Boston much more than I anticipated.
I love film,books, and music. Lately I've been reading detective novels by George Pelecanos but I try to throw some classics and philosophy/history into the mix. I've been listening to a lot of Bowie and Nick Cave recently, and Sam Cooke. Sam Cooke is the man.
Cheers. See you in game.

Real Name: Gavin
Age: 32
Location: Sheffield, England.
Occupation: None (been disabled for almost 4 years now)
Hobbies: Team Fortress 2 (of course), which is actually my first online fps game I've ever played
Also like to roleplay when I can (which currently is on Sundays only )
