Bah, I like introducing myself.
Hello, everyone. You can call me Ranuu. It's my pen name, and probably what I'll be known by if I'm ever famous
xd Obviously, I am a writer and, not so obviously, I'm in love with my craft. When I get excited or into a mood for debating, I'll start using big words in quick succession, and they're often only remembered subconsciously. I couldn't make this paragraph any more complicated in the realm of vocabulary if I wanted to.
I also love art and music. I have a guitar and a keyboard in my room, and I can play both proficiently (though not exceptionally). I go to art museums and, when I can, live theater. I saw Hairspray performed by the Broadway cast. I also act on my own, and love it almost as much. I'm renowned (not really) for my improv skills, and I can make almost any situation funny with a one liner.
Now that that's out of the way, I can be a complete a*****e at times. Old-school Ranuu was a flamer, as can be seen in Fubar's profile. She quoted my magnum opus of flaming. If you say something stupid, or screw up while insulting a friend of mine (as in, say something that I see a loophole in), I'll resort back to my old ways and tear you a new one.
I love reading. I have almost every canon Star Wars book in existence (unfortunately, nothing newer than The Joiner King) and a good amount of the Wheel of Time books. I also own A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, and Le Morte d'Arthur. There's more, but I won't bother naming them.
I have a girlfriend, and have for two years now. She's also on Gaia, because I introduced her to it. Her username is Scylandra, and she's the Vice Captain of my guild, not through patronage, but through her exemplary leadership skills. She's a gamer and a musician, and will be attending the Art Institute of Dallas in a couple of weeks. I will be a freshman at Kansas State University come August 22nd.
I love video games. Epic RPGs like Mass Effect and Morrowind are the staples of my electronic diet, while first-person shooters like Half Life 2 (plus the episodes), Bioshock, and Call of Duty 4 are my side dishes. I'll also play action/stealth games like Assassin's Creed and Twilight Princess. I'm almost a Nintendo fanboy, and I love almost every Zelda game ever to be released (on a Nintendo console... damn Philips CDi).
Oh, and I'm a Protestant Christian. I am a registered Republican, with Conservative Christian ideals. I don't want you killing your unborn babies, I don't like you taking away my rights, and I will leave you and your lifestyle alone if you don't force it at me. Because I won't force my beliefs on you.
I believe in a passive Christianity, where good Christians will inspire others to their faith through example alone, and not try to force them through abrasive and illogical means. I will, however, stand up for my religion when it's under attack by those who don't believe it. I might be passive, but I'm not going to let you run over my ideals.
Anyway, that's me in a box. If you're interested in my skills, visit my
Writerscafe profile and read 'The End is Here'. It's my masterpiece, and will soon be rewritten for the second time. Leave a review if you'd be so kind.
Wow... that was a long introduction
xd
