I saw this in the SymX forum and thought it would be cool here, as this forum has been rather dead lately. Post a pic of yourself (just one) and answer the following questions. This is a good way to get to know people on here. So here are teh questions -

1) What is your name?

2) Where do you live?

3) Why are you on this forum? What brought you here, etc.

4) Top five favorite bands at the moment?

5) Five albums that had a great impact on you?

6) Anything else you'd like to mention about yourself?

Try to keep answers short and sweet.
