Title: Okay... So I'm not "new"
Post by: Tails_155 on June 19, 2007, 03:14:35 PM
Well I'm by no means a "new" member, I've been posting perhaps too much over the last few days, if there is such a thing :p

I figured I might let you guys no a bit about me, I'm by no means an underachiever (though I can be lazy :p)

I am an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America, earning 17 merit badges more than the minimum (21, I have 38,) I am one of the only people in Kansas with an Interpreter's Strip, in Spanish, and I've been to Japan and met a Scout troop there, in my sister city, I am a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow, and a Hardway Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say (Honor Camping Society, created by H. Roe Bartle)

outside of scouts, I am interested in music, as you can see from my zealous post of having much Linkin Park music, I am a street teamer ('volunteer' promoter, organized by the band themselves kinda) and part of their fanclub, the Linkin Park Underground, I am also a street teamer for Fort Minor (Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park's side project,) Holly Brook (singer from Wisconson,) and Hydroponikz (rapper from Queens, NYC, NY)

I am also a musician, a drummer, as well as making remixes and tracks for my friends' site: Xero Focus Studios (http://xerofocusstudios.com/forums/portal.php)

I first saw The Land Before Time probably before I could speak, my parents bought the movie in 1988 for when they would have a kid,  I was born 2 years later, and I probably saw the movie soon there after, I have all the movies up to 9 from their first release, and then we missed (my parents and I) the announcement of the tenth and didn't get it until 4 or 5 months after 11, I haven't seen a lot of the TV Series but I figure I'll watch them all (the episodes) eventually

I enjoy the TV Shows Scrubs, Mythbusters, and Penn and Tellers Bull$#!^... that's really its name...

I REALLY like Foxes (that's what the Japanese in my sig is... it says "Fox",) I see Foxes as rather spiritual beings, so if I seem to randomly capitalize it, it's because of that

I hope this helped you guys get to know me a bit better :p and... I hope I enjoy my stay here -sounds like a baffled newbie-  :o

but in all seriousness, that's a bit about me  :^.^:

If you like Foxes you are probably going to like the online comic Faux Pas (http://www.ozfoxes.com/fauxpas.htm) as well. It was Petrie who introduced me to that one. Though I have no particular enthusiasm for foxes this comic is just awesome and really funny.

A boy scout eh? I used to be a girl scout, only for a year. I lost interest in it, though, and left.

Faux Pas. I remember that comic. I don't read it that much though because I have a hard time following it.

I've really enjoyed lots of things about Scouts, NOAC and Japan being the highlights, although I am trying to get patches from as many countries as I can so far I have

BSA: United States
Japan (Far East Council, for those born as US Citizens in Military bases and whatnot)
Singapore (I think it's a CSP from Far East)

Other:

Bot Scouts of Canada, Epaulets, and I think it's like a sholder patch...
Korea, Star Rank patch
Japan, Slides, numerous event patches, sister city neckerchief and slide, all the rank patches

My friend from Venezuela also showed me a patch from there (internets) But I don't own any from there :(

The comic is fun, haven't read all of it but I read several
