    Awww, thanks. But don't feel bad. I think the difference is that I sleep less then almost everybody and instead of watching a lot of TV I am doing things. I also have an annoyingly hyperactive and optimistic personality in person.

    I think life is too short for me to do everything I want to do so I am going to get as much out of it as I can.

    Well hello.

    Fancy sacking the computer science off and doing audio instead?

    That's right. I go hard.

    I can deal with that.

    Still - better than going 24+ without before crashing.

    4 hours of sleep?

    I'm destructive on less than 6.

    I'm mainly impressed by the 4 hours of sleep thing. I burn through energy at obscene speeds... If I don't get at least 6+ hours of sleep, I'm dead within a few hours.

    As for Raven, she is and always will be a jack of all trades. I can respect that.... Even though I still believe I can hold my own against her in a marksmanship competition. :p

    I probably could too - cept I'm in NYC, and they're a bit touchy about that kind of thing here.

    *sighs*....at least I was able to fire the 1903. Fun times in HS.

    ...Cept for that time I screwed up on the firing squad during the 21 gun salute. Still wasn't as bad as the bugler, who screwed up TAPS so bad he had half the school laughing during the ceremony...which was a travesty.

    Hey, if you're going to sniper each other, I *may* stand a fair chance.
    < once was able to kill over 10 people in CoD4:MW by sniping in a very viewable space that nobody looked in.

    So am I. In fact, I was so good with my soldering I was able to complete my Electrical Engineering projects from School at home in under half an hour. And apart from not having a bredaw/track breaker, they would have been usable as soon as I finished.

    But anyway, I have no chance:
    > Sleeps at least 6.5 hours a night
    > watches anime - and that got me interested in Japanese music too.
    > is constructing a model railway that runs on 3/4 of the wall space in his bedroom.
    > can solder - fairly good.
    > Upgraded his computer on his own by buying seemingly random parts.
    > Spends about 8 hours on a computer every weekday
    > Played though the entire single player campaign in CoD4:MW in under a week playing about an hour a night
    > Assists dad in gardening, waste disposal, and general maintenance.
    > Donates blood, and has just given his 9th donation at the age of 20.

    High school was a private boarding military high school. :D

    Sadly, I've never broken 250 out of 300 on the range, which is a farcry from my friend, who shoots 290-300.

    I average about 280-290 with my 98k.

    Your score, not the rifle that is.

    I got pretty decent with my bow over the years. I don't have the endurance to take 300 shots, though. :rolleyes:
    Having to extract an arrow from a tree for an hour after missing is an excellent motivation to hit the target....

    Whoa there, Sunshine. Sniping was never part of the deal! I'm good with a handgun, but I'm 75 different kinds of horrible with rifles...

    What's to be horrible at? Rifles are easier to use then a pistol!

    It's a 30 shot deal. A bullseye is 10 points and you get successively fewer points the farther out from the bullseye you get on the target. A 300 score is a perfect score. 280-290 like me means I am getting a lot of bullseyes and close to it.

    A Mauser is a very accurate and well made gun.

    I'm a lefty. While I'm ambidextrous in everything else, I can't shoot right-handed. Have you ever tried to shoot a rifle left-handed? It's hard! I know there are left handed rifles out there, but the people I shoot with don't own any.
