Welcome to PF Destiny. For an 18 year old you seem to lead quite a full life. Good for you.

My favorite video game console would have to be the Nintendo GameCube. My favorite video games are SWAT 3, StarCraft, Warcraft III, Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition, Diablo II, Diablo, Star Wars: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, Age of Empires, Resident Evil: REmake, Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil: Deadly Silence, Descent, Descent 2, Descent FreeSpace, Geist, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, MechWarrior 3, MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Rogue Spear, Total Annihilation, Civilization II: Test of Time, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Tribes 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Half-Life, and Left 4 Dead.

I'm sure I'm not familiar with any of your games - although my kids own or have played most of them, I never really got interested in playing. I tried one where you race cars and I was being laughed at by the little ones for running into people, walls and fences. I like more studious types of games such as Bookworm, Solitaire (ha,ha, I know that's not studious), and Scrabble, but I really don't have that much free time to spend on them.

I'm emo and my favorite band is Paramore. My role models are Hayley Williams and my uncle. My favorite movies are the original Star Wars trilogy, Inception, Twilight, Casino Royale, Alien, and Aliens. My favorite TV shows are the new Battlestar Galactica, LOST, Firefly, Stargate, Star Trek, Andromeda, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Farscape, Babylon 5, and a few others. My favorite books are The Terrible Hours by Peter Maas, StarCraft: Ghost - Nova by Keith DeCandido, and the Star Wars: Young Jedi Knight books by Kevin J. Anderson. I'm currently reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer and Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry.

I'm not that familiar with "texting" words, but I gather "emo" means "emotional"? Do you mean overly emotional where you cry at everything or just normal emo, like most? I didn't like any of the TV programs that you picked as your favorite, but that is normal, I don't like the same programs my kids think are great.

After high school I'm going to further my education through college and become a high school counselor. It may not sound like a job most people want, but it's what I want to do, I like helping people, and as it turns out, I'm good at it. I am the leader of the Teenagist Party of the United States, the only political party dedicated teen rights. I'm also a strong advocate of lowering the voting age so that thirteen year olds get one-fourth vote and sixteen year olds get 1/2 vote. I speak English, German, Spanish, and I'm learning Lithuanian. My philosophy is that knowledge is in fact power and that we should all strive to further our knowledge, as well as our physical prowess.

I think that's a wonderful selection for a career. You sound like a real generous person and will probably be great at helping/counseling others. That's great that you know more than one language, Yo tambien hablo en Español, y mi esposo esta aprendiendo Español tambien, via Rosetta Stone. Esta avansando muy rapido. Puedes practicar tu Español conmigo. I wish more teenagers had a similar outlook on life.

The first message board I ever joined was the official Code Lyoko forum, there I found out about a fan-made Code Lyoko forum that was simply called 'Code Lyoko Forum' and quickly became an adminsitrator there. I later joined a forum called 'The Animated World', which was a forum about anime. Again I was entrusted with administrative powers by the head admin. Later I became an administrator on Explosmertacular and Planet Mac. I've administrated and moderated many other forums as well.

I didn't see any Political Forums mentioned, so don't be surprised at the partisanship that you will see exhibited in this Forum. I hope you are not too sensitive as most members are older and don't hold back!

Recently I have created my own forums. On November 11, 2010 I teamed up with girl gamer, Lightning, and together we created Gameforia, a video game forum. Gameforia quickly grew popular and soar high with members and posts. Recently we've hit a spout of inactivity, as my fellow administrator has seemingly been too busy with high school and playing Vindictus.

Gee, I don't know how you are able to keep up with all those forums. I belong to a few myself, but find that I don't have that much time to spend on all of them, spend most of my free time on this one.

On November 21, 2010 I created Religious Boards, a forum dedicated to discussing religion. Unlike Gameforia, Religious Boards is off to a rough start. We have only have a handful of members, however I'm not giving up on it, it's still pretty new. On November 22, 2010, I created my latest forum, Lifestyle Boards. Lifestyle Boards is in the same situation as Religious Boards, as in it could also use some more members, but I'm also not giving up on it.

I wouldn't even begin to try and debate on a Religious Forum. I actually debated on a Political Forum in the Religious arena and was amazed at all the different beliefs just within Christianity, as well as other religions and Atheism. Most of the time you just end up getting upset because in Religion everyone claims to be right, and nobody is able to prove anything to the satisfaction of the other. I'm a Christian myself, but I don't like to get into deep discussion with others that are not Christian.

I am a moderator or administrator on a lot of forums, and a normal member on even more. Aside from my own, some of the forums I frequent are Melonie Mac, the Duke Nukem Reloaded forum, LiveWire, Gaia Online, Giant Bomb, swtor.com, Best Buy Community, Debate Politics, Playfire, TheTwilightSaga.com, Subsim, Cheap Ass Gamer, AskMen, AimGirl, Apolyton, Virtual Teen, TeenSpot, GoTeen, Space Sim Central, Space.com, PSU, Neoseeker, GirlGamer.com, Politics Forum, NSider2, TechRadar, and others, just ask and I'll give you a full list.

I believe you are busy.

At this time I'm currently single, and I just got out of a relationship. I'll only date individuals 13 to say 29 (maybe a little older, depending on the person). I enjoy playing video games, posting on forums, helping other people, and bettering myself. When it comes to religion I'm a Christian. Well, that's about it for now.

You are too young to be anything but single and you should concentrate on your studies and pursue your interests before getting too involved with anyone. It only ends up thwarting what you really want to do and at your age you are still too young to really appreciate long-term relationships.

I hope you enjoy posting on this forum and sharing your thoughts on the different issues. We have a couple of young members "Solace" and "Leo" that you might enjoy talking too. Welcome.

I'm waiting to hear here arguement for letting 13 year olds vote. If mom won't give junior a ride to the polls in the family mini-van would that constitute vote obstruction?

What if Mamma or Dadda tells the kiddo that if he does not vote for the Palin his allowance will get yanked. Is that vote buying fraud ?

Well sure, I did. I wouldn't want to make a comment and have you come back and say that isn't what you are about! The games and Forums that you listed, I must admit I just skimmed through those paragraphs, don't think I know about any of those forums and the games, I wouldn't know anything about.

I would rather you were emotional than emotive hardcore - is a dark style of rock music and its associated subculture - that sounds rather precarious to me.

Agreed. I know of no 18 year old girls that would date a 13 year old boy. Solace posting as an 18 year old girl for reasons I can't understand.
