I've never actually done one of these despite having been here for quite some time.. so, in case any of you were interested lulz:

Name: Nathanael

Sex: Male

Blood Type: AB+

Location: Brisbane Australia

Marital Status: Single

Age: 19

Ethnicity: Australian born and raised, half German though.

Religion: *cough*

Pets: Cat, dog, a bunch of birds over the years. Meh. I don't like animals.

Drink/Smoke: I drink occasionally but have never and will never smoke.

Likes: Guitar (9 years), parkour, gymnastics, hapkido, anime/manga (obviously), chess, shogi, skateboarding, programming, rock climbing.. I think that's most of them.

Dislikes: Anchovies and asparagus lol. And people who a) think casual sex is something to brag about, b) beat up on women/elderly/kids, c) are just general jerks.

Favorite Animes: Har. Too many to list. Probably at the moment my favourite would be ef ~A Tale of Memories~, but I also loved Death Note, Code Geass (and R2), Noein, Elfen Lied, Suzumiya Haruhi, Darker than Black, Eureka Seven... we'll be here for days if I keep going.

Favorite Books: Kasparov's "My Great Predecessors" series, Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series; the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy; but by far the best is Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. If you're into fantasy books, read this! It's fantastic.

Favorite Games: Deus Ex, Elder Scrolls (all of them), Assassin's Creed, Baldur's Gate (all of them), Diablo 2. I'm pretty much cool with whatever game, as long as it isn't sports or racing.

Favorite TV shows/Movies: Heroes (first season only, zzz for drawn out shows like lost etc), Bones. Movies; well, Wachowski Brothers are win (Matrix, V for Vendetta) but not speed racer lulz. Can't wait to see the Dark Knight and Get Smart.

Favorite Drink: Black Douglas. Ohhh yeah. I take it straight, on the rocks, dry or cola, whatever, it's all good.

Non-Alcoholic Drink: Milk.

Favorite Foods: Italian. Anything Italian.

Favorite Sites: gmail. lol.

Favorite Sport (to watch): I watch the gymnastics on the olympics and the world championships, that's about it.

Favorite Sport (to play): No team sports, only those listed in "likes"

Favorite Music: Dream Theater, Steve Vai, Rush, Metallica, Porcupine Tree, a bit of Opeth. I love progressive music and I like metal kind of, but I can't stand the screaming vocalists. Dream Theater is the most win band ever by the way; if you want to hear something amazing look for "Instrumedley" on YouTube. All the instrumentalists in the band went through music colleges and they are all individually gods, but they mesh as a band together incredibly well as well.

Job: I'm in the Australian Army Reserves (I want to help people; anime has had a real positive influence on my life I think in that regard) and I'm doing that part time while I finish my degree in IT (I graduate this year; might be doing post-graduate honours though since I was offered a scholarship). Majoring in software architecture.

Favourite Quote: "Time is like a prison cell for those whose crime is loneliness"
