I'm planning on starting keyboard lessons again so I can play in my friend's band.

Ah, keyboard is such a wonderfully flexible instrument... I love piano, pipe organ, electric keyboard, et cetera. Well, except for the really crummy old primitive electric keyboards.
Forget it. I'm not arguing with the computer anymore to try to get the sig I want....

I might have a knack for it, they say some of that stuff runsin the family. My mother played piano when she was young, and she was very poor, so she couldn't afford a piano, so she played in class, and when she was at home, she used a piece of chalk and drew the keys on the dinner table, and practiced listening the sound in her head.
My father still plays nowadays, he plays 3 keyboards at once, and he can play pretty much any song you request, including backgrounds, he's a good musician.
So yeah, who knows, I might actually be good at it, we'll have to wait and see.

What's your name, boy?

Stephen Richard Ford. lem0nhead all over the internet though, sometimes shortened to lem by xbox friends who are lazy and d&d gamers who are the same.

You a boy or a girl?

Neither me am man.

How ooh-old are you?

24

Where you from?

Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire (thats my county which is similar to states in usa) from England.

You got a job, you bum?

Im a laboratory supervisor, specialising in analysing samples by inductively coupled plasma optical emssion spectroscopy for a scientific testing and research company. Sounds better than it is believe me. I just squirt liquid samples from various external companies into a hulking great spectrometer and report the results I get. O and i supervise the chemistry area which is 100% female which makes life very tricky.

Married? Dating?

Wed for just over a year now, to my wonderful wife Kathryn (but everyone calls her Kate).

You got kids?

We lost our first child a couple of months into the pregnancy about 2-3 months ago. We will try again though if we can.

How long you been here?

April 2007 marked the coming of the lem0n to CC. Migration over to here was natural. How else was i gonna waste my 8.30-4.30 day at work?

And how'd you find us, anyway?

Probably Decipher boards, cant really remember. I didnt get invited i just sort of stumbled in and set up shop.

How long you been playing card games?

First game was AVP ccg in 1997 when i was 13 roughly then star wars ccg until about 2001. I started LOTR TCG when MoM was out so ive pretty much been in it since the start. I have also tried yu-gi-oh and pokemon and harry potter none of which were any good really so stuck to lotr til the end.


What else do you do with your time?


Football (soccer to you mental yanks) is my life. Supporting, watching, playing; its all good. Im obsessed with halo 3 multiplayer on my xbox and gears of war, cant wait for number 2 in november. But i have a ps2 as well as a 360 and actively game on both of them. I also play D&D friday nights which is great fun. Apart from those hobbies the rest of my time goes on my wife/family. Any minute im not visiting my family or playing on xbox live with mates im spending time with Kate. I like going out for food with friends of mine and often with kate and our mutual friends. I also read a lot, mainly adventure/fantasy books with the good old recipe of magic, swords castles good versus evil etc....

Anything else?

Pizza/pasta/indian/chinese food rocks! Im 6 foot tall, weigh roughly 12 stone. I live in a semi detached house in a quiet cul de sac which will be great if we have kids and i drive a toyota celica (which i love beating people in). O and i also hate needles. Cant stand injections or worse..... *shudder* blood tests. I refuse to have them for fear of an acute case of death.

Yeah yeah, that's great. Got any pictures to share?

http://www.geocities.com/lemonhead_4d/0433432423422.JPG (File is just under 1mb)

That was on May 19th 2007, and yes thats my anniversary date its not a fancy dress party. I am slightly more filled out than the scrawny #$&*@! on that picture, i was 10 stone 6/7 pounds there. Marriage made me happy and i eat more and its sits nicely round my middle providing me with a small bit of podge!

Here are a couple from a carribean race night at a local horse racing circuit a few weeks ago.



I guess you can tell which one is me, but just in case I have the red flower garland on and matching shirt! My wife is far left next to my sister.



And there's me again on the right looking surprised as i think i actually won something on that race, and for once my horse didnt die/fall over/run off.

What's your name, boy?
Michael Howard Brown

You a boy or a girl?
Boy

How ooh-old are you?
I am a frsh faced 19 year old desperately still trying to cling on to my childhood.

Where you from?
Well Bedfordshire in England originally then I lived in Oregon USA for four years in my early teens (my dads family is American although he actually doesn't call himself that now as he has lived in England now for longer than he did in America having moved here when he was 20, but that is neither here nor there.) Since I moved back from the US at 14 I haved lived in Surrey which is the county next to London here in merry old England.

You got a job, you bum?
Well I finished school last summer and this year I have worked for a local church as a gap youth and kids worker. In September I will be going to University to do a degree in Scriptwriting for Film and Television.

Married? Dating?
Sadly no. It seems that all the girls I fall for always just want to be my friend.

You got kids?
Nope

How long you been here?
Well I originally joined CC in the summer of 2006 but wasn't really active in the community until about a year later. Before that I had been a regular on the decipher boards where I went by the name of KingMike.

And how'd you find us, anyway?
Someone advertised CC on the Decipher boards and i found myself intrigued.

How long you been playing card games?
My first card game was pokemon when I was 8 or 9. Then in 1999 my friends and I started collecting the young Jedi game based on The Phantom Menace. This of course introduced us to Decipher and so when Fellowship of the Ring came out (by which time Young Jedi was firmly dead) we jumped on that and haven't looked back since (man it's actually been a really long time thinking about it).


Jeez, I didn't ask for your freakin' life story!
You good sir are a man of little patience.

What else do you do with your time?
I play and collect Star Wars Miniatures as well as LOTR (great game by the way if you haven't tried it). Other than that I do quite a lot of writing, mostly fanfics but also my own stuff. I play football (soccer), basketball and golf. I love to do anything performance realted such as acting, singing and dancing and of course i am involved in lots o church stuff.

Anything else?
Not really.

Yeah yeah, that's great. Got any pictures to share?
Err well I'm not too sure how to do this so I'll just put links to pics of me on facebook.

What's your name, boy?
Nicholas Barden. I go by Nick as well.

You a boy or a girl?
Male.

How ooh-old are you?
17 in 1 month.

Where you from?
Kansas since 1st grade. Before that? South Dakota, New Hampshire and Omaha. That's a lot of trauma to put a toddler through, and as many of you can tell, I haven't quite recovered.

You got a job, you bum?
Landscaping, at least, I hope I still have that job after busting up my rib recently.

Married? Dating?
Check back in, oh, 2-3 years.

You got kids?
I should hope not. See previous point.

How long you been here?
Forever. Okay, actually since December '05. I lurked around for several months before that, though, didn't join until I realized I could make money writing articles.

And how'd you find us, anyway?
Googling in order to get an edge over everyone else in my player group.

How long you been playing card games?
Since the start of my NCFCA career, August, 2005 I was introduced to LotR TCG by AgentDrake and some other friends. MtG, end of 2006.

Jeez, I didn't ask for your freakin' life story!
Hence why I didn't give it.

What else do you do with your time?
Eat, sleep, work and computer.

Anything else?
I make a mean flaming teriyaki kebab.

Yeah yeah, that's great. Got any pictures to share?
SoP should. I got lots of pics recently after going to camp, but most of them are posing with other people, so I shouldn't post any.

You work for the evil coporate giant which will soon have all of the Uk in it's iron grip. But then I suppose every little does help.
