Introduction
edit
Greetings, I am SoreThumb.. AKA Nathan B. I've been around the net quite a lot, but I will direct you to some of the most pertinent places of mine later in the article.
Because I like the security of my online accounts, I won't tell you WHERE in I was born, but it is in the same state that I currently have residence in, but not the same town. I currently live in Woburn, Massachusetts, which was only really notable for the movie based off of it, A Civil Action.
I will turn 23 in the year 2007.
I began my Net Journey from a website called Pokemon Forest, which became Pokemon Forest X. After visiting the forums there, I moved to seedy newsgroups. From there, I found EarthBound, regulared Starmen.net. Soon, I was on Livejournal, and then on the webcomic kick of the mid 2002s. I wrote/drew a webcomic called [| Z²ero].. This was quite early in my drawing career; only the recent ones date closer to late 2003, when my developing art ability was shown, from my then-visiting of oekaki boards. That's in about 2004.
I have no full recollection of what happened in between 2004 and now, besides the fact that in 2001 I went to Harvard University for a summer's worth of courses once, University of Massachusetts Amherst from 2002 to 2006, and now I am workin' for the man, every night and day.
Aside from that, I used to build a lot of websites, and so website design, creation, and flash are important to me as those are the real kickers these days. I read some design magazines as well as hippie ones, when I can get my hands on 'em.
Personal Affectations
edit
- Nervousness and intentional humor of running gags into the ground so they come out on the other side of the Earth and resume being funny,
- The general willingness to say, "I'm Okay" when I really am not (and you can tell),
- Willing ignorance (when I do know gossip)
