xp_cypherI've met a few people already, and my roommate Jamie was nice enough to give me a tour, but I guess this is a good way to introduce myself.
My name's Doug Ramsey. I'm 16, and I'm from Denver, Colorado. I'm a trivia buff, a science fiction geek, and I seriously don't think I'm a mutant. I mean, the reason I'm here is because I tested positive for the X-gene, but I can't do anything out of the ordinary. I mean, I can't fly, or read minds, or anything like that. I'm just a normal guy. But my parents got in contact with some people here because they've been getting harassed due to my supposedly confidential test results getting out. After talking with Ms. Braddock, they felt that I would be safer here. I understand them wanting to protect me, but I really wish I could just have stayed at home. Don't get me wrong, everyone I've met so far has been really nice, and I'm not one of those hard-core anti-mutant people, but I still feel like there's been some sort of mistake.
Sorry to get all heavy there, but it's just really hard to get plucked up out of a home and family you love to go halfway across the country, all because of a little genetic test.
So that's me. To everyone I haven't met yet, you're more than welcome to come by, or I'm sure I'll be running into everyone at some point.

Say... don't suppose you play a music instrument, by any chance, mmm? ;)
Um.
Date: 2003-08-26 10:20 am (UTC)My brain is in the corner going "wibble" over the fact that Alison Blaire wants to know if I play a musical instrument.
And I don't play an instrument, but, um, I sing. It's kind of a hobby. I'm okay, I guess. I mean, I can carry a tune and all. *shrug*
Re: Um.
Date: 2003-08-26 05:13 pm (UTC)Well. I'm kind of partial to music, you know? ;)
Singing! Singing is good! It's great even! Want to audit one of the last classes of the term to see if you want in next term? Come on! You know you want to.
