One problem, I couldn't find it !!! Was it Nexiied ???

Anyways .. here's a new one or a continuation !!!

************ Copied Post **************

I only hold the role as Faction leader on an interum basis, as soon as we set up the infrastucture for a leaderless society I will completely resign my position !!!

Occupation:
Medical Student, McGill University.

Personal Beliefs:
Atheist & Humanist.

Interests:
Medicine/health (dah!), sports (mainly mountain biking, jogging, TWD, volley-ball and scuba-diving), science, philosophy, fashion, nature, cats...

Favorite TV shows:
1) Babylon 5
2) ER
3) Not really anything else, since I don't have much time to watch TV

Favorite Movies:
"Trois couleurs: Bleu" & "Trois couleurs: Rouge" ("Three Colors: Blue" & "Three Colors: Red") directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski.
Those two movies are, IMHO, quite simply masterpieces. They are the only two movies I ever bought and, by now, I must have seen them at least a zillion time. Everytime I watch them, I find myself enjoying them even more. If you haven't seen them already, you are really, I mean _really_ missing something.

Favorite Books (fiction):
1) "Sofies verden" ("The World of Sophie") by Jostein Gaarder.
2) The unamed trilogy by Alexadre Dumas: "Les Trois Mousquetaires" ("The Three Musketeers"), "Vingt Ans Apr�s" ("Twenty Years After") and "Le Vicomte de Bragelonne", also called "Dix Ans Plus Tard" ("Ten Years Later"). This third novel is often split up into three pieces when published in English: "The Vicomte of Bragelonne", "Louise de la Valli�re" and "The Man in the Iron Mask".
3) "Les fleurs du mal" ("The Flowers of Evil") by Charles Beaudelaire (poetry).

Favorite Music (composers):
1) I'll have to go with Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky for my first choice. I mean, how much better can you do than the 1812 Opening?
2) Vangelis
3) Various modern days rock/dance artists (they're not composers, I know, but anyway...).

Favorite Computer Games:
- Best game of all time: "The Curse of Monkey Island" (the first one) from LucasFilms Games (now LucasArt). Nope, sorry, not Civ or Civ2.
- Game I'm enjoying the most right now: "Quake II" from id Software.
- Game I'm the most looking forward to: SMAC (dah!).

Availability:
Pretty much never! =(

System:
A brand-new AMD K6-2 300Mhz, and loving every piece of it! =)

Life 20 years from now:
1) Astronaut (keep dreaming, I know...)
2) ER surgeon
3) Working for some humanitarian organisation (UNICEF, Red Cross, M�decins sans fronti�re...).
4) Taking over the world! =)

Well, I think that pretty much covers it.

20 years from now:
Well, I'd like to have teenage kids, which are planned in about 3 years from now. Probably four, two of each (Belinda will kill me for that one - always complaining about pushing a watermelon out, etc). I'd like to be writing PC Games, but that's prolly unlikely, as I'm too lazy to get into it. I could find the time, but then I'd have less time to play games.

So, probably be a team leader, or a system guru, as I have NO wish to go into management, though my manager tells me I'd be good at it. Money ain't the aim, happiness is.

What I'd like to be doing: Touring the world, promoting unification and peace.
