Well, not dweebs exactly, but it sure sounded nice in the subject line!
I hope you have lots of fun here too-- we're a silly lot, but amiable enough.
'Sup, guys? My name is Herr Wozzeck, and I sort of just stumbled across this place. Good thing I did, too.
I'm a fanfic author myself, perhaps best known in fanfiction circles for my fairly long Mass Effect SI "Mass Vexations" and its sequel. IRL, I'm a student who is studying music composition at the moment and hoping through a whole series of delusions of grandeur to eventually write for one of the world's major orchestras. My interests lie in gaming (chiefly with stuff like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dead Space, and other things), zombie fiction, movies, and other stuff, and I run a film criticism blog on Blogspot called, appropriately enough, Herr Wozzeck Reviews.
And I'm also a nut for 20th Century concert music by the likes of Varèse, Schoenberg, Berg, Webern, Stockhausen, Boulez, and Ligeti. If you recognized at least one of those names without having to go to Google, you deserve a massive cookie. And if you don't know... go check 'em out. Give them a chance, because atonal music needs more love in this world.
So yeah... That's all for me. I hope to have a good time here. =D
Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here.
Also, here's a "get out of glomp free" pass.
Fair winds!
Now you can throw BBQ parties!
Have a pet cat, a tinfoil hat and an old mat.
Have some snacks and water!
Wilkommen, new friend! Have a Violin Staff! It's excellent both for playing a strings instrument or beating down Sues...musically.
Heh, is it just me or a lot of people suddenly joining? (Or is that what it's normally like here?)
Well met, rookie! Always nice to see another gaming enthusiast about the place. Please enjoy this N7 helmet as a welcoming gift.
Have an absurdly long multi-colored scarf.
Bio-fan myself, I got two Mass Effect-verse and a Dragon Age-verse agent in the oven actually. Maybe we'll get to do a joint op sometime. :)
*high-fives*
*high fives back*
Yay to fellow Bioware fans!
Hm... A joint op sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm usually pretty busy. Still, if you run into anything particularly bad I'd be more than happy to do a joint op. =D
Don't feed it Sues or Stus.
Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!
Have a cookie.
Also, your nick brings back memories from the Literature class.
Let me guess... you were reading Woyzeck in that literature class.
Well, not dweebs exactly, but it sure sounded nice in the subject line!
I hope you have lots of fun here too-- we're a silly lot, but amiable enough.
Hi! Have some fudge!
I normally listen to local classical station KVNO (www.kvno.org). Their playlist tends to be earlier periods, but I'm pretty sure they've run some Schoenberg and Webern. But most of my listening time is at work, and of course customers tend to show up when they're announcing what's playing next ;) .
Thanks! :D
Yeah. I checked out one of their playlists just now, and if they have run some Schoenberg or Webern I wouldn't be surprised. They've got quite few new music people on there (Michael Torke was mentioned at one point) as well as some of the bigger names of 20th Century music (I caught a mention of Bartok in there), so that sort of lends itself to that direction.
You seem to be blessed with a really good classical station. =D
