Hi!

Just this evening I was invited to join this forum by my lovely girlfriend Kristina (TheLastMelon), and I thought "well, you just can't be a member of too many forums", so here I am! :)

A little something about me:
My name is Anton, and I am a twenty year-old student, and part time worker. I currently study Mathematics and Photography, but both classes are pretty basic, as it's stuff i missed out on in highschool.
Up untill recently I was an employee of a telephone interviewing company, and before that I was an employee of a newspaper delivery company, and before that I was... Never mind, you don't want to hear about all that.

In my (plentifull) spare time I like to:
Read novels, of which I read mostly Fantasy and Science Fiction, though a few "whodunnit" type Thrillers also slip into my bookshelves from time to time.
I am currently reading The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams for the ninth time. (it was a few years since last time, and I needed a break from all the heavy apocalyptic fantasy)

Play roleplaying games. At the moment, me and a few friend are working our way through a tetralogy of adventures set in the gaming world "Trudvang", created by a swedish company called Riotminds. Earlier I have also played such games as Mutant and Blue Planet, and also many swedish games. I also create my own roleplaying games from time to time, and I'm currently working on a Steampunk-ish game in an arabesque setting. (weird, I know)

Paint miniatures for table top games. I am a great fan of Games Workshops games and miniatures, and (for those of you who know what I'm talking about) I have a 1750 pts army of Vostroyan Imperial Guard, and I'm working on a Word Bearers Chaos Space Marine army.

Listen to music. I love listening to music, and I'll try any genre at least once. Current favourites are Dream Theater, Symphony X, Nobuo Uematsu, Vivaldi, Muse, Queen and Lily Allen, to name but a few.
I also play the electric base and various percussive instruments, such as the Marimba and the Timpani.

Take Photos. I am an amateur photographer, who hopes to someday be more than that. At the moment I take most of my pictures with a Canon EOS 400D, but I also own an old Chinon camera, that I mainly use for B&W stuff.

So... well... that was a bit about me. I hope anyone got all the way through that.

Anyways, I hope I'll enjoy this forum, and I hope you'll enjoy having me here.

http://www.thefalloutshelter.co.uk/forum/images/smiles/thefalloutshelt.smilie.woot.gif Another Dream Theater fan!! I hear you're seeing them soon? I am envious.

Anyway, welcome to the forum Anton. Glad to have you here! Please check out our sci-fi and fantasy sections when you get a chance. Those are two genres that I like a lot, but we don't have many discussions about them.

Yes, I'm going to see them this friday, together with Symphony X, which is probably why they are currently my two favourite bands. :P

I will certainly check the Sci-Fi and Fantasy forums, (and probably many of the others too) and I hope I can contribute a bit to the discussions there.

But first, I'm off to bed, as it's fifteen minutes past one here, and I have Math class tomorrow. :)

Hello, welcome.

I'm so inspiration-less when it comes to greeting new members lately.

Nevermind, hope you'll like the forums.
