I thought it would be nice to know a little about the people I hang out with more than most of my "friends". Since I do consider a lot of you my friends.

I am Jerry Baker, born Nov. 23, 1968. I know I am old.
I live in the Lexington, Kentucky area. Go Cats.
Went to college to be a Physicist and ended up in construction management. What a wasteof a Liberal Arts education. lol
I was a "jock" 11 years of organized football, and 6 years of tennis.
I spent 6 years in the Army Reserves from 1988 to 1994. 12 Bravo
Hobbies include woodworking, long range target shooting and medieval reenactment (look up the SCA at sca.org).

Feel free to let us know a little about yourself, if you feel comfortable sharing that information on line.

Well, I guess I could follow suit.
If you are crafty like me you will have caught my name by now just by pulling a whois on this site and some others ;)

My name is Joshua Stailey and I do techsupport for a living(eye twitch). I have always had a great interest in the computer sciences, hence my job. I don't go for the big companies and I like the relaxed atmosphere of my current employment. I'm not quite a local 'boy' but I have been here in New Mexico for 2/3s of my life.

My hobbies involve gaming, programming, reading sci-fi and fantasy books, and the occasional loss of sanity. I live a little to the left of the middle of no where in La Luz, NM. You can see White Sands National Monument from my place which is a sight to see. For those not familiar with it, it is actually ground up gypsum from what they believe a glacier did a very long time ago to a gypsum deposit. At least that was the last theory I heard. Anyways, now you know who I am. Feel free to scoff or what not hehe.

Even though I'll be leaving tomorrow, I thought I should contribute to the list :)

Born Jennifer Leigh (my last name isn't imporant, half the time no one can pronounce it right anyway..) October 23' 1984 (yes, I'm that old. Even though I sound like a drunk chipmunk). I first got introduced to Warcraft last year by my now ex boyfriend.

Little bit more about me, I work at a gym as the Assistant Manager in Brighton, Michigan (free membership is the only perk) and spend almost all my free time there working out, or with my current boyfriend. Have no real plans for the future, as of yet. I'll be going for my GED in January (suprising I'm sure), and hopefully back to school full-time next Fall. My ultimate goal is to work my way into a company creating marketing tools, or some form of advertising. My favourite type of music would be hard rock, but I'm very partial to late seventies rock and 80s hair bands. I drive too fast, listen to my music too loud, and I have a filthy mind =P Just your average girl next door. I draw a bit here and there, and am trying to get my deviantART page back up. Once I do, I'll update it on my Myspace page (yes I have one of those, too.)

Oh, and I am the only person I know who did not watch a single game of the World Series from Michigan (go Tigers?)

Well... Not that i play anymore (although i'm currently sitting in front of a new computer [it was free], and i was thinking that once i get it on the net, i might drop in), here goes anyway.

So i posted my setup in a thread not long ago, so you can probably tell that i enjoy videogames. I guess you could say i was brought up on them, back when my dad bought me a gameboy with metroid II, and my Sega Mastersystem. Well... It began before that, with my uncle taking me to the arcades and letting me play cool games like Speedball 2 and Monkey Island (floppy disk version ;)) on his computer.

Even though i love gaming, i do have to find time for it.

I spend a lot of time with my girlfriend, it takes me 35 - 45 minutes to get to her house by driving, but it's so worth it. We were planning on moving out together this year, but we are both contemplating career changes. She's a qualified Vet Nurse, and i'm just your average Scaffolder. Even though i do enjoy working high up and without handrails while building, i'm kind of getting over the hard labour involved.

I also play cricket... You guys know that sport yeah? The one where you have a hard leather ball hurled at you at over 100 kmp/h... Yeah, well it's good fun, and the social side of it at the local club is great.

What else.... I enjoy a good drink with mates, whether it's when we go out, or just around at someones house... I love going to concerts... I used to smoke, but i've quit... Which is hard, but i'm getting through..

Also, Vegemite rocks your socks off.... inthebuttinthebuttinthebutt

P.S. I'm 23 :)
