The two stooges running this show:
Chester aka gizgiz
Well, if you must know, I guess me being all cryptic isn’t going to help your quest to find out who I am. So here I am.
I’m Chester Li, currently a high school student at an international school in Hong Kong. I graduate in 2009, and since I was born before the 1997 handover back to China, I am a British citizen. I’ve also lived in Canada long enough to have gained Canadian citizenship as well. I’d like to be a US citizen as well, but I’m afraid (1) I like my other two citizenships and (2) they’re too cheap to give it to me anyways.
I have an inner craving for aviation (civil only, my theory is that military pilots are too fast, too furious for anyone to possibly like), and of course, an obsession with modern technology. By modern I mean technologies developed within the last 2 years: Cray 2 to me is a fossilized representation of a low-end Dell workstation (I apologize for angering all the die-hard punchcard fans out there too). Behind the scenes, I’m also an avid film and Hollywood fan.
In terms of music and the arts, I’m a true soundtrack fan. True, soundtrack isn’t a formal genre of music by itself, but if iTunes lists it, I’m all for it as well. Every time I see a movie, I will most probably either buy the soundtrack if I happen to be in an HMV or other record store and simultaneously have the cash in my wallet, or do a quick “%MOVIE_NAME% ost rapidshare” Google search. I usually don’t, considering how much I take the taxi these days. To be honest, anything is “listenable” as long as it has no hip-hop or rap in it. I just fail to see how that can possibly be counted as melodic rhythms. Movies – romantic comedy, general comedy, horror, drama, chick flick, sensual exploration (no, not porn you perverted geeks), sci-fi…pretty much everything really. I enjoy analyzing films and get annoyed whenever I see a boom mike sticking into the picture -_-”.
I’m Asian, but I don’t like anime. Or manga. Period. Don’t ask why.
Well, I think that’s enough about me. Start reading!
Kenneth aka lightninghell
(I actually wanted the name Reflectia, but it was taken…)
I’m Kenneth Ho, currently enrolled in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (future freshman). Like Chester, I am a British citizen as I was born before the handover, and I also have lived in a foreign country long enough to have another passport. Unlike Chester, I lived in Australia.
I also wouldn’t mind a US passport – for one, it’d help with university applications given my lackluster grades.
Computer gaming – more precisely, theorycrafting without actually touching the game – is part of how I waste my life away, as well as reading manga and drawing manga-inspired comics (don’t expect me to draw as well as anybody who’s actually competent in drawing, though). Coloring – digital or traditional – is a nightmare for me. I can’t ever seem to color a picture so that it doesn’t need to come with an irritant label on it. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from trying…so be prepared to suffer some extensive brain damage if you’re going to view my doodles.
In terms of the arts (and now you can clearly see I’m copying Chester’s layout here)…I tend to be very, very picky about what songs – pieces – whatever – I like and which I don’t think are good enough (it comes from being a musician – I play the violin semi-badly, but playing an instrument for long enough at any level gives a sort of intuition about music). I’m also rather choosy about anime, as I’ve developed some sort of phobia to anime that are visually…not done all that well. Manga too, but not as much (you tend to be able to get away with a lot of stuff in manga that would make me tear my head off in anime).
Other things I like to do…would include cooking (baking included), going off tangents in Wikipedia after searching up some random chemical or biological process (for science or just for fun), and…that’s just about it.
Enjoy.
