Spring, MO No, we've never been formally introduced. Hello, I'm... (The Intro Thread)

Hey All,

Steph came up and visited the Omaha board, so I thought I'd come down and say hi and return the gesture.

NAME(S): Mark and or paperclipx
AGE/BIRTHDATE: 28, born June 5, 1973. Though I personally believe I havent aged since I was 10.
LOCATION(S): Born and raised in Omaha, NE. I did a stint in the Navy so I have lived in Groton, Conn and VA Beach, VA.
OCCUPATION/DRUDGERY: 911 Dispatcher Omaha/Douglas Cnty
FAMILY/PETS: My 2yo daughter, I think she counts as both sometimes..
SW FAN SINCE: Well, my earliest movie memory is of Empire. But my earlist SW memory is of opening up the Death Star playset I got for Christmas, so I would have to believe I've been a fan since 77.
HOW I INDULGE MY SW OBSESSION: Collecting! I'm a huge collector. Mostly action figures, but anything else that catches my eye, books, comics. Im in the process of purchasing stormtrooper armor and joining the 501st.
OTHER SCI-FI INTERESTS: Not many actually. I liked Stargate the movie, never watched the series. Starship Troopers, MIB. Not a fan of series sci-fi, though I did like Space:Above and Beyond, and I used to love the X-Files till it got stupid.
OTHER INTERESTS: Football, comuter/PS2 games, movies, etc
MUSICAL TASTES: Late 80's/Early 90's hairbands. The whole Seattle grunge thing killed new music for me. I know its over, but I still havent found much new music I like. I can listen to country too. No rap.
CHAT IDS: They're all on Yahoo! paperclip_x, callmy911, pcx_x, or bobafettster.

Thats me in a nutshell. Glad to meet you all, and good luck with the FanForce here in St. Louis!

Mark

Hey! Welcome, Blue_Viper!

 

Howdy, Blue Viper! Cool handle, btw...

Hope to see you sticking around and posting on the boards here. I have to admit to a certain degree of "lost faith" that a decent-sized group of us St. Louis fans will ever get together on a semi-regular basis, but that has been my hope for over a year now, and I have not officially given up. Hope you'd be an interested party...

Either way, tho, nice to meet ya.

 

Thanks!
Nice to meet everyone too.
