- The brumby seems to have been driven almost into lurkerdom by RL
- pressures right now. He is still reading however.
-
- "I don't really recall when the last time I gave a full description of
- myself actually. Oh well, it's probably about time anyway."
-
- The brumby is a silver-grey feral horse with a very slight bluish tinge
- from wandering around the silicon pathways of the net. He isn't a
- particularly large horse, though he acts as though he is, and while he
- looks quite nice he isn't as handsome as he likes to think. The personality
- behind the brumby is a sort of mixture of my own and that of two horses
- that I know. One is a trotter stallion (who provides most of the conceited
- side of the persona, he is convinced that he is Epona's gift to equine
- kind) and the other is a mischevious, little bay gelding who just likes to
- tell mares that he is a stallion. I've been told that Ambrose (the gelding)
- and I have a lot in common. Knowing him as I did (before he got moved away)
- I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a compliment or not!
-
- In RL I am 6'1", 25 years old, with far too much very fine, curly
- ash-blond hair. For now it's pulled back into a pony-tail as something of
- an experiment. I've got a narrow face with what I've been told are fairly
- distintive grey eyes that everyone is hoping my daughter will inherit. I
- usually wear a brown felt hat of the sort used in 'The Man from Snowy River'
- movie (or so it says inside) and a blue coat with little badges of horses.
- The current ones are a rearing black stallion, a paint, and a taffy. There
- is also a small slice of a mandlebrot set, which gets questions asked.
- Everyone knows what a horse is but 'What's that funny coloured pattern on
- your badge?'
- Other than that, I am married (To Robyn, aka 'The Cosmic Froggy') with a
- six week old daughter named Jenny. (Which anyone who's been here more than
- five weeks knows about. :-) I've recently finished a B.Sc. in Computer
- Science, am trying to struggle through a Graduate Diploma in Digital
- Communications and should be looking for work, but I seem to have all my
- time taken up trying to look after Robyn and Jenny right now.
-
- All this is far too long, I ramble when I am sleepy. Ahhh well.
