<div style="background: url('http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b329/ThunderbirdL17/thunderbirdforuserpage.jpg');">Hi, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Thunderbird L17, but generally I just go by Thunderbird. I'm an [[Wikipedia:Electrician|electrician]] from [[Wikipedia:Canada|Canada]], and I'm 19 years old. I first was introduced to Homestar Runner through my cousin from [[Wikipedia:Alberta|Alberta]], during a lull in the MSN conversation. The first thing I saw was the email [[suntan]], and that was in late August of 2003. Nearly a year later, a different friend of mine gave me [http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Peasant%27s+Quest%2FWalkthrough this link] to a walkthrough for Peasant's Quest that she found. I was excited by this find, and intended to fully investigate this new exciting wealth of knowledge. But when I returned less than a week later, the site had begun the switch to MediaWiki. After anxiously waiting for several weeks, I was finally able to create this account on September 14th, 2004. After over seven months of contributions, I was made a sysop on April 26th, 2005 during the [[HRWiki:April 2005 Sysop Nominations|2005 Sysop Nominations]]. My screenname &mdash; Thunderbird L17 &mdash; doesn't have anything to do with the [[Wikipedia:Ford Thunderbird|car]], or the fact that I'm an electrician. It's more the inspiration of the [[Wikipedia:Thunderbird (mythology)|legendary creature]] from [[Wikipedia:Native American|Native American]] mythology. And no, I am not Native American. I enjoy the heritage of [[Wikipedia:Scotland|Scotland]] and... [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]]. But I prefer the Scottish half. Thunderbird was simply my first internet screen name when I played [[Wikipedia:Age Of Empires|Age Of Empires]] back in the late 90's, now I use it for all my screen names. The L17 stands for my first initial and my age when I first started coming to this site. It's a progressive screenname; on the forum I am Thunderbird L18, and usually on the IRC chat channel I use Thunderbird L19. I'm usually sleeping or at work when the site is updated, and miss out on the "new page" rush. See my list of contributions below for the kinda work I've done around here. I also keep the Featured Article of the Week running smoothly, I'm usually the one that sends emails to other sites asking for reprint permission, and I'm always willing to help out fellow users whenever they ask. This is my second favorite website, second only to the [[Wikipedia:Homestar Runner|obvious]]. And that, in a nutshell, is me. <span style="color:#FFF">Oh, and I just so happen to own the audio of the UMFM Interview on CD. Lucky me.  :)</span></div>

-
* [[Duck Guardian]] <span style="color:#C90">&#8660;</span> Summaries of last 20 or so levels, completely made level select after finding it in the forum (after a while the links broke and it became obsolite, but it was cool while it lasted), and came up with armor glitch.

Most pages that aren't even on the periodical update list I watch and update. But my pet pages are listed under the Frequently Updated Pages section. They're my favorite pages. I'm very proud of the slow and methodical time I put into the updates pages, the time I spent watching every Strong Bad Email to fill out the name and place pages, and the time researching and adding the games in The Floppy Disk Container. The latter is by far my favorite page. I research the labels, add the new pics, add sources, all that good stuff. I like that page. It's my precious.

The first one is my usual IP address. Sometimes (rarely) I don't log in, and for specific reasons. However the second is the IP address that I used for my very early edits (As far as I can remember, same computer), and a big chunk of edits in December from when I was HOUSESITTING AT A DIFFERENT HOUSE and was too lazy to log in!!! Also other various edits are included, some of which I'm not even totally sure are mine. Although I do remember most of them. Make sense? Obviously not. Why would the IP address stay the same spanning different computers!?!?! How?!?! I resolve to research this mystery until it is solved. -->
