| - | | + | |
| - | Hallo! Wie geht's Euch? Ich freue mich, daß Ihr meine Webpage besucht! OK, no more German.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | So, my name's Nat. I am 24 years old and live [[Wikipedia:Goleta, California|near]] [[Wikipedia:Santa Barbara, California|Santa Barbara]], [[Wikipedia:California|California]] (or, as locals often call it, SB). I'm currently studying for a Ph.D. in music theory at [[Wikipedia:University of California, Santa Barbara|UCSB]] (yes, even we academics enjoy the subtle pleasures of homestarrunner.com).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | My non-HR-related interests interests include various church-related activities, such as choir, Bible Study and outreach. I am also obsessed with classical music of all sorts, especially [[Wikipedia:Franz Josef Haydn|Haydn]], [[Wikipedia:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], [[Wikipedia:Franz Schubert|Schubert]], [[Wikipedia:Richard Wagner|Wagner]] and [[Wikipedia:Gustav Mahler|Mahler]]. I enjoy singing Schubert ''Lieder'' in my spare time. I am also fluent in [[Wikipedia:German language|German]] and enjoy speaking it whenever I can (as some of you may have guessed, my user name is a direct translation of the name "Homestar Runner"). Many on the Wiki believe I am German, and sometimes I wish I could tell them that I am. But it's just not the case: I was born and raised in the United States of America and have never lived in Germany.

| - | ==My history with H*R and the Wiki==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I first discovered homestarrunner.com in March 2003 when I saw a couple of friends of mine watching various [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]] (at the time, [[the show]] was the new Email). That summer, I introduced it to my entire family and hooked all three of my sisters (who often try very hard not to like anything that I like). I first encountered the Wiki sometime in 2004 or 2005 (I believe I followed a link from [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]), but I didn't become a regular user until summer of 2005. At that time, I discovered all the awesome things on the Wiki. I first registered sometime around 23 August 2005 because I wanted to vote on [[STUFF]]. On 6 October 2005 I finally made a user page and was greeted shortly thereafter by [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] (back when he was called "notstrongorbad") and [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]], who remain two of my favorite users. As I had no concept of such things as the recent changes page at the time, I was surprised to see that I had been noticed me at all! This was when I became active on the Wiki.

| - | == Troll — in the Wiki — thought you ought to know ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''''' ''Some troll decided to celebrate the New Year's Day 2006 by vandalizing this user page, and since then it's been vandalized twice! Isn't that great?!''
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I enjoy making sure that the Wiki remains free of defacements and poor edits, and am to that end a member of the Recent Changes Patrol. I've added several vandals/trolls to WikiTroll and have helped revert some that I didn't end up listing.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | What else do I do here on the Wiki, you ask? Or maybe you don't ask, but I'm still going to tell you. I vote on STUFF and correct bad spelling and punctuation (some of you should really watch [[local news]] again: Ohh, if-you-want-it-to-be-possessive-it's-just-I-T-S. But-if-it's-supposed-to-be-a-contraction-then-it's-I-T-apostrophe-S. Scalawag.) I also occasionally add Fun Facts and deleted and STUFF some bad ones (or at least I thought they were bad!). I also revert bad edits. I am a member of the Welcoming Committee and welcome new users whenever I have the chance.
