I think I did this a while ago, I might as well update it.

Age: 20
Gender: Male
Race/ethnic composition: White. British and German... very boring.
Religion: Atheist
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 187 lbs
Location: Timmins, ON in the summer, Toronto, ON during the school year. Living on campus, very close to Steeles Avenue.
Where you were born: Timmins, ON
Occupation: Right now I work at an equipment and machine rental company for the summer. Working alongside the mechanics. During the school year, I attend York University and study chemistry, and some biology starting in the fall (for a second teachable). Caution to everyone considering chemistry: don't. Smiley Unless you really want to.
Person you most admire: Person, eh... that's a tough one. There are a lot of influential and important people I can name, but I don't wanna sound boring. How about... Kristen Wiig? For the sole reason to turning SNL from a sh**tfest to bearable. Smiley That's an accomplishment.
Favorite Band: Have you ever gone through that phase where it's like, you only listen to one artist for a month or so? Or worse, only one album? Right now for me, it's Tegan and Sara, and I feel like I'm entering that phase. I gave their album "Sainthood" a listen on Friday, then I listened to it again, and again... and sh**t. I need to pull myself out. I also love Metric. A lot of Canadian bands are good. Smiley
Favorite President: Gosh, I dunno... LBJ passed some pretty significant legislation.
Favorite Sports team: Don't watch sports.
Your other interests: Love video games and manga. Kinda nerdy, no? Going out is also fun (kinda vague, I know, but I just like being out). Chemistry is also fun (I hate it during the school year though). Being gay is also pretty boss as well.

Er...hello everyone!

Age: 18
Gender: Male, biologically. Some gender issues.
Race/ethnic compostion: White with some faint Central Asian admixture. An eighth Jewish. Mostly Italian, Irish/British chop suey, Polish, Russian (that's where both the Jewish and the Central Asian admixture come in); some French, possibly German, possibly Romani.
Religion: Episcopalian, fairly high church; would probably be Catholic if not for a few specific ideological and organisational beefs I have with that church. Very interested in East Asian religious thought but not considering converting to anything.
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Location: Amherst, Massachusetts (staying with family in New Jersey for the summer though; I grew up in Vermont)
Where you were born: Franklin County, Massachusetts
Occupation: University student (History and Japanese)
Person you most admire: 'My mother' is a fairly hackneyed answer but in my case it's true. She's a progressive activist and lawyer. She's awesome.
Favorite Band: Dire Straits, Kajiura Yuki, Talking Heads, The Killers, Maaya Sakamoto, Leonard Cohen, Warren Zevon
Favorite President: I am fascinated by both Adamses, Arthur, and Coolidge as men (my New England bias showing), and I like the policies of both Roosevelts, Eisenhower, and in many but not all areas Carter, but I think that the greatest we ever had probably remains Lincoln. A fairly conventional answer, I know.
Favorite Sports team: Anything Boston/New England.
Your other interests: Books, tea, religion, classical music (especially piano and classical guitar), film, anime-when-it's-good, antiques, nature, agriculture, food, law...

Hi, people. I'm from Uruguay, the unknown "Switzerland of America". I'm also an unseccesful student of International Studies and Political Science. As a freak of elections across the world (and "american" elections in particular), I've been reading the forum since a long time ago, incluiding the Atlasia funny nonsense (you should update the wiki).

My ideologý, if I have one, is very liberal in social issues (my country is historically the most secular in the continent) and kind of "third-way" in economics.  

I know I should sympathise with democrats (besauce of ideology), buy I prefer the republicans because they're nuts.

Forgive my poor english (I'm an excellent reader but a bad writer), and thank you Lief for your signature (any link with Uruguay or you just love Forlán ?). I will use a Massachusetts avatar 'cause my parents met and got married there.

Race/ethnic compostion: Caucasian.
Religion: Agnostic.
Height: 1,81
