- Well, that's a good question. In RL, I am Noah Ramon. (Oh, you want more?)
- I work at Brown Book Shop in Houston, Texas (and this is a good way to get in
- touch with me in RL) selling technical books, standards and other tech
- documents. I mean, if you want ANSI/ASME B16.25 (Buttwelding Ends, the scariest
- standard I have ever seen), you call us. I am a student to be, going to
- University of Houston in approximately two weeks. On weekends (usually, not
- often enough), I run lights for a local band called Beans Barton and
- the Bi-Peds. When they aren't playing, I am either reading, watching a movie,
- working on the computer, listening to music, or any number of other things.
-
- Physically, I am about 5'9", usually dressed in pants of some sort (jeans,
- slacks, god knows what else), a T-shirt bearing some band's logo or odd
- slogan, sneakers, black trenchcoat, black fedora, and backpack. I wear glasses
- (horribly nearsighted) or prescription sunglasses depending on the position of
- the sun and my wish to make people nervous. I will sometimes make an effort,
- and appear in full regalia : Black pants, black shirt, black vest, black
- trenchcoat, black fedora and sunglasses. When I am in that state, I tend to
- look ominous, at least until I open my mouth. At that point, any sort of
- menacing aura that may exist just throws up its hands and calls it quits. My
- coat and backpack can have anything in them, including books, videotapes, CDs,
- tapes, cans of carbonated beverages, LOTS of yo-yos, pens, and sometimes a
- two-liter bottle of soda. (This last one is only in the backpack, by the way.)
- I may or may not have a beard, depending on how much the damned thing is
- irritating me today. (I can't stand shaving, but dislike the beard.
- Great, huh?)
-
- Paradoxically, my greatest method of relaxation is to dance in a frenzy for a
- few hours at a local club (see my second job). I have been given a healthy
- respect for live music, and indeed find it hard to compare recorded stuff
- to live favorably. My main musical style is "pub rock" : Brinsley Schwarz, Nick
- Lowe, Dave Edmunds, Rockpile, Elvis Costello and stuff like that. I also
- appreciate just about anything else someone tells me I need to hear.
-
- I tend to remind people of Woody Allen, only with a lot more adrenalin in
- my system. Now, I'm not "on" all the time, but I could be classified as
- easily excitable quite well. I tend to flip from subject to subject in a
- very free associative method, much to the detriment of those talking with me.
- I also gesture quite often, using my whole body to make various points.
-
- Any other questions?
