    10 random facts about you

    If you don't like this thread, then don't post in it. I've been banned from one forum because of that.

    1. My first Ubuntu experience was version 8.04 "Hardy Heron"
    2. I have Aspergers, a type of high-functioning autism
    3. I use Ubuntu only on my laptop because I found out that I can do the same tasks whether I am in Windows or Ubuntu
    4. I try avoid religious or political discussions because I have gotten banned from forums due to those discussions. It was the mods, I swear!
    5. I am generally not well liked on forums for some unexplainable reason.
    6. I ended my relationship with Microsoft on my laptop as soon as I got it.
    7. My dad doesn't know how safe I really am on the internet and has blocked IRC clients except web-based ones through our firewall.
    8. I am a trumpet player and have been playing it for at least 8 years.
    9. Despite the complaints about Ubuntu 9.10, my experience so far has been very smooth with little trouble.
    10. I think Windows 7 is a remarkable OS despite it being viewed as another service pack for Vista. On a side note. I like Vista. It never gave me problems.
    Please move this topic if it's in the wrong section.

    I am going to repeat what I said above. If you don't like this thread, then don't post. I just want to get to know my fellow Linux users. I know I could use the IRC to know my fellow Linux users, but I'd rather make this thread instead. I've already been banned from one forum because of ignorant jerks and I don't want it to happen here.

    1- my screenname, megrimn, was really just supposed to be megrim, but someone on newgrounds already had it. megrim kind of means migrane, or headache.
    2- first ubuntu was 8.04
    3- I like mixing sour cream with my ketchup for my french fries.
    4- I play 'french' horn. (calling it a 'french' horn is actually improper; the IHS says it's really just a horn.)
    5- as of right now, I am a sophomore music education major
    6- I have a fettish for Sonic the Hedgehog games. (esp. the music from the recent games)
    7- I also write comics for our university's newspaper, when I get time (<--see avatar). I'm thinking about starting a blog or website to post them online..
    8- I usually try to post at least one helpful link in my signature.
    9- It's 01:11 CST, and I have a paper due in the morning that I haven't started yet.
    10- My antivirus on winV is about to expire... oh well.

    that makes more sense. I've always just mashed it and pronounced it 'sqroop' in my head.. so much for paying attention.
