Well, since so many people had their intro threads wiped out and are starting new ones, I figure I could use these events to start my own, ultra-untimely intro, seeing as how I've been around HoP for like 3 years.
So then:
Name: Vance
Alias: Van, Vanize, Add, Zaidou (my 'African' name) ... oh, and I almost forgot, Pixie Banger! (don't ask if you don't really want to know).
Age: 34 (35 now)
Location: Potchefstroom, South Africa (WSW of Jo'berg) presently. Grew up in Houston, Texas. Most of my Family lives in Austin, Texas. I'm moving to Berlin, Germany in January for 2 years. (ok, been in Berlin for a year now)
Favourite Toys: sailboats (been sailing 29 years), surfboards (been surfing 19 years), poi (3.5 years) (almost 5 years now)
Occupation: Reasearch scientist (Ph.D. in space physics)
Hobbies: Too many - sailing, surfing, poi, scale models, travelling, collecting stamps and paper money from places I visit, Dungeons & Dragons, SCUBA diving, tropical fish, reading, painting, drawing, getting projects ready for Burningman, ....
Your favourite website/s: www.burningman.com
Music: I'll listen to most anything except modern country music. My favorites are classical (e.g. vivaldi, beethoven), trance, classic rock (led zep, hendrix, beatles), and what used to be called alternative (foo fighters, pixies, whale, ...)
Movies: blade runner (director's cut), strictly ballroom, band of brothers (more like a mini series I guess), amelie, ... er, I know there are more, but I can't think of them just now.
Books: mostly sci-fi, fantasy, and history.
Philosophy: Technological Gaiaism, Quantum Fatalism
Favourite Colour: Burgandy ( sorry Alice!)
Favourite Quote/Saying:
From a movie: "Gentleman, we have a blind date with destiny, and she just ordered the lobster!" - the Shoveler (Mystery Men).
From literature: "The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love" - W. Somerset Maughn
From personal life: "I was just telling Sara K. that I have no particular segway between being stone cold sober and really wasted. Then she kicked her glass of water across the room..." - Zouwera (Christmas day, 2002, west africa)
So that is that. We'll see if it goes anywhere, eh?

I was gonna take my car to a track one day and see how fast it went, but never got around to it. It's a Honda Prelude Si. Was thinking about putting a turbo on it, new racing rings, tighter suspension, high flow exhaust, and changing the fuel feed, but was a grad student at the time. Besides, it already goes faster than I dare drive it anyway! Trying to sell the car right now (it is mothballed back in Texas).

haven't you been trying to sell it for the past 7 months though?
vanize knows how fast my car will go, not I. I wasn't in the car when he made the decision to see.

My brother is a slacker - should have never asked him to be the one to sell it - my sister would have managed selling it 6 months ago!
and: bah - Spritie's car barely does 95 mph!
which I was a bit suprised about actually... it has a good engine - the gearing on the automatic transmission is crap though - a modest redesign of that could get your car going a lot faster. - oh yeah, that was the other thing I was going to do to my car - new gearing ratios.

I never said it was fast...It's only got a 4 cylinder engine, so I wasn't expecting much.
So if your car sells, what's you plan for spending the money?

since when did I have a secret desire to be bound and gagged by a pseudo-german?!? Why is it until now I didn't know this? Woooah! that secret desire stuff is so damn secret even the owner of it never knows........ Are you sure about this Gayle? I always thought my secret desire was to sit in a specially heated bath of molten chocolate that the heater breaks down on so the chocolate hardens around my body and a hunky Fire brigade officer has to come and eat their way through the chocolate to get me out. (please note in the interests of PG rating I did not write 'a hunky Fire brigade officer has to come and eat me out')
