Ok...my semi-serious post...

I'm Mel and as I stated before I'm a cancer, 16 years old...

I'm going on to my 3rd year of robotics with a new lathe as my toy *you can't touch it without getting through me first* It's my baby...*does the chuck key dance*

I'm an overachiever in school...
I enjoy the classics very much (classics = latin and greek, fyi)

Currently, I am single...

I enjoy rock climbing, volunteering at local musuems, theatre...

I'm a dork what can I say...

I like dorky boys whom enjoy robotics...(in fact out of all my b/fs i had, only one hasn't been involved in robotics in some form)

According to my friends, i'm sweet, caring, and sexy (?)...

Welcome to my world :(

Anywho, yes, A. Snodgrass is right about the postings, they should be limited to the purpose of the discussion, meaning essentially a short bio of yourself, such as interests, etc. especially pertaining to FIRST, personality traits, and the like. The primary purpose is for people to get a feel for who's out there in the FIRST community, to learn more about each other, and to become better friends (or in some cases, maybe more) at the competitions themselves when we all get together. Any slandering of sorts is not at all welcome, including but not limited to criticism due to lifestyle, beliefs, interests, etc. Aside from that, happy posting, and hopefully we can hook some people up :)

Addendum- about me:

18/m, lacking college plans since I was hired as a full time head computer technician for a local computer store, ACR computer. I built an entire 20 computer lab for my high school from scratch (computers from components, ran and crimped my own cables, installed my own software, etc), am a lighting and sound technician for various theater productions (I enjoy theater quite a bit, particularly when I'm involved from a tech standpoint). My latest production was as sound technician for the show Oliver! I've only had 2 serious girlfriends in my life, neither of which turned out to be "the one" (long story about one, the other left me for another guy more like herself). Don't want to waste any more posting space, so if anyone wants to know more/has any questions send me a personal message.

Alright, time for my little bio...
I just turned 18 in june, go geminis! Originally from Minnesota, transplanted to Southern California and I'll be here for at least another 4 years (I go to UCLA, go bruins!) Always the superbusy, overachieving girl in high school and now. Studying poli sci and hopefully will go to law school. I was recruited to robotics to organize/manage/be team mom and bake. I have random obsessions: Australia, Alias, tall guys, coffee but I'm giving up caffeine right now, Law and Order, and of course...PLAID.

PS. For the record, I would like to strike down any rumors that I had personal relations with our team captain :)

Hmm ... OK:

I'm Katie Reynolds.

I'm 17 as of Sept. 16 (Virgos rule) Ok...my semi-serious post...

This will be my third year involved with my team. I'm leading, er - "coordinating" the electrical team this year.

I speak German rather well. English is my favorite school subject.

Other than FIRST, I enjoy reading, writing and sleeping.

When I'm not in school, you can usually find me at home chatting in Tigerbolt and checking CD.

Geeky boys rule - coincidentially, the only guys I've ever seriously dated have been involved in FIRST!

This post was kind of pointless because, as stated before, I am taken - but I figured I would respond anyway. :D

Well, we all know you're a fool, but I'm not sure that's the reason for it.

Jim, now they are on to us, I''m only trying to find someone and then secretly hit them on to you, don't mess it up! (I proabably am screwing myself over in posting all this, but thats me )

...and i thought it was only girls who had these elaborate schemes and underground networks....
