About Me: I'm a geek, I'm addicted to puns, and always up for having fun. I'm thoroughly addicted to mint (spearmint in particular) and hot chocolate (which I devour by the liter, usually with fresh spearmint leaves in it.) I'm a sucker for a good love story, even moreso if it's in the middle of a great action sequence. The two things I value most are friendship and knowledge, as you could never have enough of either. I also seem to be the only person who feels deprived by having to live on a planet with only a single moon. If there are any more of you out there, tell me so I can know I'm not alone.

BD told me if I didn't post he'd give out my email to science geek websites and I'd be innundated with junkmail about how to easier calculate dq/dt and pi to one million digits.
hmmm... its a bad sign when i'm up at 4:30 am, just for fun. Anyways I'm off to bed so I don't fall asleep in church tomorrow. I'll post something less spammy tomorrow after I watch the seahawks dismantle the rams.
I was told today that this kid on my team called 911 twice this morning and hung up both times. They called back and his dad answered. The reason the kid called 911? He got an erection and didn't know what to do. I wish I was making this up.
The pictures are there. Also in there is a zip containing all the photos, for easy viewing. So that you know what you're looking at, captions will be here, referencing pictures by filename.
1038 through 1046 are of the kitchen. 1039, 1040, and 1043 are closeups of three of my whiteboards, so you can see what I've been working on.
1047 through 1058 are the living room. 1048 is a blurry closeup of my 4x8 foot whiteboard, and 1053, 1054, and 1055 are closeups of the entertainment wall so you can judge me/be jealous.
1059 through 1070 are the bedroom. Closeups of the desk are in 1062 through 1065 (1065 showing four of my computers in the corner, yay space heating!) 1066 is another close up of a whiteboard and 1069 shows my most awesome blanket ever.
1071 through 1076 are the closet/library. 1073 and 1074 are closeups of the bookcases so you can see what books I own. Daron, I'll save you the trouble with 1073 and caption it for you in advance. "Infinite nerd!"
1077 through 1079 are the bathroom. Not much to say here.
1080 through 1085 are the balcony, which is through the door in the livingroom. You'll notice my very happy hammock and my herb garden. The two big plants in 1082/1083 are spearmint, and they make me very happy.
1088 and 1091 are pictures of me. The first is a front view of me. I tried smiling in it, but it didn't come out well. 1091 is a backview, in case any of you were curious as to just how long my hair is.
1093 and 1094 are fun. They are the exact same shot, taken in the dark, but 1093 used a flash and 1094 didn't. What you see in 1094 is what I see when I sleep. Note that it's darker in the picture than it is in life. LEDs don't photgraph well:( 1095 through 1099 are closeups of all the LEDs I have scattered about. At night, when I can't sleep, I count them. Of course the clock keep changing, but the answer is usually between 20 and 35. Sure beats sheep (like a Scottsman!)

A whiteboard? I have 4 of them that are about 50x100cm each, and then a 5th that's 4x8 feet. I'm looking to get another of the 4x8 foot ones, but I can't decide where to put it.

Yea jonny that will really help if he manages to get a girl to go back to his apartment without the use of min-alterng narcotics
She will see that and run away
Seems that according to you I'd just be saving her some time then, no?

I just find it very strange that you adorn your living area with numerous whiteboards! Is your memory so bad that you feel it necessary to write down everything that comes to mind before it is lost in the abyss? You really need to put "SLEEP" on the board in your room.
Just concerned for your well being! I mean when your mom is concerned on whether or not you get laid.....that is bad!;)

A compromise: his bedroom whiteboard could say SLEEP with girls. If he doesn't notice the fine print, he's reminded to get more than 3 hours of shuteye per day. If he does notice the fine print, maybe his mom will be happy.
Plus, if he gets a girl back to his place, there's a chance she won't notice the fine print and run screaming.
Jonny, the whiteboards aren't for reminders so much as for doing math on. I often have people over to the apartment and we work on physics here.
But speaking of sleep, I just woke up. I honestly have no idea how I'm going to make it through school today/tomorrow. I'm going to have to find a way to stay awake for no less than 30 hours. I really hate having this ****ed up sleep schedule.
Well, my link below wasn't working. I seem to have it fixed now though, and I have edited my previous post with a good link. For convenience, I'll also post the good link here.

I want cookies too My daughter is selling girl scout cookies right now; anyone want to order some? It sucks, she has to sell XXX amount to get the badge for it..I think that's such bull****. Plus, they're 4 dollars a box now..last year I ordered them(in AZ though) and they were 2.50. Anyway, they're still delicious..but not as good as homemade.
I played in a Sealed 2HG Thing this weekend, with THEDARKPRIESTCYRIC..we won. I gave him the random stuff that we got(beanie, foil old art underworld dreams, some special 2HG deckbox) since I didn't really care about it and he did drive 2 hours just to get me, and another 2 hours to take me home.
Hello all. I see you are accepting applications! And well, since I have nothing better to, thought I would give it a shot:) . I have lurked your thread for a good while now and I think that you are all really awesome people. I have decided that you’re the clan for me (not that I am being stuck on myself saying that I am an awesome person…oh wait, yes I am:tongue2: ). I have recently tried another clan, the AKA clan. It was however…not really my style. To much spam, it felt like I was in a clan with a bunch of 12 year olds who thought it was fun to say things like nipples:wink: .
So I see that I need an application. Now a while back I seem to recall other of your members actually having a format, holed on while I find that in past threads.
Ahh there it is. So with ought further ado, this is me in all my application glory.:redface:
* Some statement clearly saying you want to join.
I Dr. Monkey head (alsso known as Zachary Fregoe) Formaly request that the clan The called consider me for review.
* Why you want to be a member of this particular clan
Did I mention that you were all really cool:halo: ?! . I would love to get to know all of you. Although almost none of you will recognize my name, I recognize every one of yours, you are all treated with respect around the boards, and I think respect is the single most important thing in life.
* Why you think you'll be a good member of this particular clan
Well I am the monkey representation! Every clan needs to have some sort of monkey representation. Monkeys are fun, cute and loveable (unless of course we throw or poo, then of course it’s no good:teach: ). I also (despite my relatively low post count) won’t be going away anytime soon, I visit the site about three times a day and usually post once or twice a day.
* In what ways you will be in contact, (forums, AIM, etc) and how often
I have AIM, and am on hear quite often.
* Any other information you think we'll want to know
other information. This one is tough. IM actually going to have to think about it. So random facts. I’m 20 years old, born on the 4th of July. I have been playing magic since the beginning of legions. I am currently a Jr. in SUNY Potsdam, working for my criminal justice degree, so eventually I will turn into the man, the fuzz the coppers and ill get to drive the shannazy black and whites. My favorite card ever is Memnarch. And I of course love long walks on the beach.
This post is long, but I thank you for your consideration. Just so I know, would you like me to post once in a while now until you decide what you want to do with me?
I actually understand your meaning with that line. (above) I have seen you peering the thread now and then. Thank you for your app. I did read the whole thing...even after the "nothing better to do" remark.
What is your stance on the following things?:
1.) Nipples
2.) MSN over AIM....I see that you have AIM but I am still curious on why you went that direction
3.) What is your favorite deck to play? (I know Magic is secondary in the Clan but I am interested)
4.) Do you feel that R_E's signature was gratuitous pandering or ok with everything?
5.) Tell me whether or not I ask to many questions.
6.) Is your mom concerned with whether or not you are getting enough sex?
So...I realize I never post any pictures of myself...this is one from my camping a few weeks ago.....the best thing aboot camping is the random day naps....although I wasn't really sleeping. The next one is a little box turtle that appeared outside my door one day when we got 7 inches of rain from Hurricane Katrina.
Ok...that's enough for now...maybe I'll post some more later....maybe!
EDIT: Having problems...get pics soon...DAMN!!!!!!!!!

I'm fine with Dr. MonkeyHead joining, I know he's trolled this thread for ages, and he seems like Called material to me...assuming that he doesn't totally bomb Jonny's questions, which I think are great indicators of a person's level of Called-ness.
Hey Cyan...I have apprentice but have never played anyone online. What goes on there? I am interested in playing in one of your tourneys but I don't know the ins and outs. How strict are you with the order of things...untap, draw, that kinda stuff. Do you have to press the icons on top of the screen at each phase? Do you get penalized if you don't press a button that you are supposed to?
Give the ins and outs if you can briefly.
thanks....oh yeah...what aboot those cards?

Tawnos is missing or something? We made a trade a month ago and he hasn't sent... and isn't replying to PMs. He owes me a foil Sacred Foundry... :slant:
Hey monkey. Thanks for your application! Where are you from? I don't recognize that particular group of characters.
Before I give my opinion I'd like to see some more posts. Try hanging around for a while, make some posts here and there so we can get to know you a bit.

About Me: I'm a geek, I'm addicted to puns, and always up for having fun. I'm thoroughly addicted to mint (spearmint in particular) and hot chocolate (which I devour by the liter, usually with fresh spearmint leaves in it.) I'm a sucker for a good love story, even moreso if it's in the middle of a great action sequence. The two things I value most are friendship and knowledge, as you could never have enough of either. I also seem to be the only person who feels deprived by having to live on a planet with only a single moon. If there are any more of you out there, tell me so I can know I'm not alone.

Just concerned for your well being! I mean when your mom is concerned on whether or not you get laid.....that is bad!;)
Plus, if he gets a girl back to his place, there's a chance she won't notice the fine print and run screaming.
Until she sees his, well, you know. Calculator.

But speaking of sleep, I just woke up. I honestly have no idea how I'm going to make it through school today/tomorrow. I'm going to have to find a way to stay awake for no less than 30 hours. I really hate having this ****ed up sleep schedule.
Well, my link below wasn't working. I seem to have it fixed now though, and I have edited my previous post with a good link. For convenience, I'll also post the good link here.

What time does the gym open tomorrow?

Note, they look burnt, but they aren't. This recipe uses a lot of brown sugar, so the cookies turn out dark.

I went for a swim after work. Shame, the beach was infested with bikinis #_#
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!! Did you don a bikini??;)
That would be nice to see you in a bikini big guy!:o
Is anyone going to comment on my ingenius new deck idea in the last thread? Nobody noticed...
I played in a Sealed 2HG Thing this weekend, with THEDARKPRIESTCYRIC..we won. I gave him the random stuff that we got(beanie, foil old art underworld dreams, some special 2HG deckbox) since I didn't really care about it and he did drive 2 hours just to get me, and another 2 hours to take me home.
So I see that I need an application. Now a while back I seem to recall other of your members actually having a format, holed on while I find that in past threads.
Ahh there it is. So with ought further ado, this is me in all my application glory.:redface:
* Some statement clearly saying you want to join.
I Dr. Monkey head (alsso known as Zachary Fregoe) Formaly request that the clan The called consider me for review.
* Why you want to be a member of this particular clan
Did I mention that you were all really cool:halo: ?! . I would love to get to know all of you. Although almost none of you will recognize my name, I recognize every one of yours, you are all treated with respect around the boards, and I think respect is the single most important thing in life.
* Why you think you'll be a good member of this particular clan
Well I am the monkey representation! Every clan needs to have some sort of monkey representation. Monkeys are fun, cute and loveable (unless of course we throw or poo, then of course it’s no good:teach: ). I also (despite my relatively low post count) won’t be going away anytime soon, I visit the site about three times a day and usually post once or twice a day.
* In what ways you will be in contact, (forums, AIM, etc) and how often
I have AIM, and am on hear quite often.
* Any other information you think we'll want to know
other information. This one is tough. IM actually going to have to think about it. So random facts. I’m 20 years old, born on the 4th of July. I have been playing magic since the beginning of legions. I am currently a Jr. in SUNY Potsdam, working for my criminal justice degree, so eventually I will turn into the man, the fuzz the coppers and ill get to drive the shannazy black and whites. My favorite card ever is Memnarch. And I of course love long walks on the beach.
This post is long, but I thank you for your consideration. Just so I know, would you like me to post once in a while now until you decide what you want to do with me?
Me in card form!
What is your stance on the following things?:
1.) Nipples
2.) MSN over AIM....I see that you have AIM but I am still curious on why you went that direction
3.) What is your favorite deck to play? (I know Magic is secondary in the Clan but I am interested)
4.) Do you feel that R_E's signature was gratuitous pandering or ok with everything?
5.) Tell me whether or not I ask to many questions.
6.) Is your mom concerned with whether or not you are getting enough sex?
So...I realize I never post any pictures of myself...this is one from my camping a few weeks ago.....the best thing aboot camping is the random day naps....although I wasn't really sleeping. The next one is a little box turtle that appeared outside my door one day when we got 7 inches of rain from Hurricane Katrina.
Ok...that's enough for now...maybe I'll post some more later....maybe!
EDIT: Having problems...get pics soon...DAMN!!!!!!!!!
Give the ins and outs if you can briefly.
thanks....oh yeah...what aboot those cards?
Hey monkey. Thanks for your application! Where are you from? I don't recognize that particular group of characters.
Before I give my opinion I'd like to see some more posts. Try hanging around for a while, make some posts here and there so we can get to know you a bit.
