Hi! I'm a ghost you know (yep, I go by my alias - I'm more paranoid than Marco from the Animorphs), but feel free to call me ghost.
Here's a little bit about me:
* I'm an IT guy, with computer programming as my strong suit.
* I love math & science, which is probably where my love of computers came from
* My idea of fun is to spend some time programming, thinking of practical ways to implement currently impossible sci-fi ideas (such as morphing), reading a good book, or surfing the Internet.
* I started reading the Animorphs series about a month ago, and instantly got hooked. I was so hooked, in fact, that I read the whole series (including the Andalite Chronicles, the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, and Visser) in about a week.
* Somebody may have blended the Animorphs' DNA and used it to create me (j/k), because I have each one's major trait. Rachel - I'm a warrior too, and I also have a major dark side that I alternately nourish and fight. How far I'm willing to go to win sometimes scares me, too. Jake - I know the pain of being a leader and having to make decisions that will have nasty side effects. The weird part is that I've never had to send somebody to their death (like Jake did in book #54), but I can still identify with his feelings while he did it. Marco - I'm super-paranoid. Good luck finding any personal information about me, including my name, country, or timezone. I also have the ability to be absolutely ruthless on occasion, although that's heavily balanced (see below). Tobias - I'm somewhat of a loner, too. I also get quite depressed on occasion. Ax - I don't yell about "bun-zuh!" but I do go a little crazy around sweets sometimes. Cassie - I have a bit of an itchy conscience, too. I definitely see (and agree with) many of her condemnations of the others' behavior.
* Rachel is my favorite animorph, primarily because I feel exactly like her in most ways. My username was actually inspired by her; she
is "the ghost I know"
* I'm definitely on the unusual side. For example, I frequently wish for various powers, especially the ability to morph or blast fire/Shredder beams/(insert something deadly here) from my hands. I also wish I could save the world (don't we all?)
Well, I guess that's about it.
I've already received a couple of welcomes, and my overall impression of this forum is that it's a wonderful place to be. I'm looking forward to a long, pleasant stay with you guys!
Cheers!
