Hallo! Wie geht's Euch? Ich freue mich, daß Ihr meine Webpage besucht!
 +
 
 +
So, my name's Nat. I am 25 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:Carl Maria von Weber|Weber]], [[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). I remember laughing really hard at [[japanese cartoon]]: I used to have a roommate who liked anime and so the parody of the clichés resonated well with me. After a couple of weeks, I went back and watched all the Strong Bad emails to that date (this time, it was [[spring cleaning]] that made me just about fall out of my chair). 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]]. For over a month, I remained a redlinked user and only voted in STUFF and occasionally corrected spelling or grammar (albeit anonymously). 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 began to contribute to the wiki. At first, it was just a little bit here and there, but eventually I became a very active user. I must have done something right, because I was made a sysop on 7 March 2006.

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 reverted many a vandal edit in my day and have blocked several (or, in my pre-sysop days, informed sysops of them).

I also revert bad edits. I am a member of the Welcoming Committee, although I don't tend to welcome new users too often, as I tend to wait until a user has at least one edit (by which point usually someone else has done it).

Wilkommen bei Heimsternläufer.net. Es ist .de!

Yeah, that's what I look like. On the Great Wall, no less.

Hallo! Wie geht's Euch? Ich freue mich, daß Ihr meine Webpage besucht!

So, my name's Nat. I am 25 years old and live near Santa Barbara, California (or, as locals often call it, SB). I'm currently studying for a Ph.D. in music theory at 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 Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Weber, Wagner and Mahler. I enjoy singing Schubert Lieder in my spare time. I am also fluent in 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.

German translation fun

Note: This contest is currently on hiatus. I'll start it up again if I feel like it and possibly if people pester me enough about it.

The first person to figure out what <fill in name of H*R character> is saying auf Deutsch and answer on my talk page wins cupcakes. Write your answer in the section called German Translation under the current date. Keep checking back; I'll put up a new one before too long.

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 Emails (at the time, the show was the new Email). I remember laughing really hard at japanese cartoon: I used to have a roommate who liked anime and so the parody of the clichés resonated well with me. After a couple of weeks, I went back and watched all the Strong Bad emails to that date (this time, it was spring cleaning that made me just about fall out of my chair). 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 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.

At first, it was just a little bit here and there, but eventually I became a very active user. I must have done something right, because I was made a sysop on 7 March 2006.

SADDY DUMPINGTON: Some troll decided to celebrate New Year's Day 2006 by vandalizing my user space, and since then it's been vandalized seventeen times! 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 reverted many a vandal edit in my day and have blocked several (or, in my pre-sysop days, informed sysops of them). My most memorable experience fighting vandals occurred when Lapper, Some HSR themed username and I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning of 28 January 2006 stopping an annoying group of sockpuppets.

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 delete and STUFF bad ones (or at least I thought they were bad!). I also revert bad edits. I am a member of the Welcoming Committee, although I don't tend to welcome new users too often, as I tend to wait until a user has at least one edit (by which point usually someone else has done it).

Significant Contributions

I finally think I actually have enough to make one of these lists, so here goes:


How do you pronounce Heimstern's name?

  • Heim- : hime (rhymes with "lime")
  • -stern : shtairn ("r" pronounced as a vowel, as some Northeasterners do)
  • Läu- : loy (does not rhyme with "how"!)
  • -fer : fah (kind of a mix between "ah" and a schwa)

Possible translations of other characters' names

  • Pom pom : Pompon
  • Marzipan : Marzipan (P.S.: The word Marzipan actually came to English from German)
  • Strong Bad: Stark Schlecht
  • Strong Mad: Stark Wütend
  • Strong Sad: Stark Traurig
  • The Cheat: Der Betrüger (although I prefer "Der Cheat")
  • Bubs: Bubs (not really translatable)
  • Coach Z: Trainer Z ("Z" pronounced "tsett")
  • The King of Town: Der König der Stadt
  • The Poopsmith: Der Mistschmied
  • Homsar: Hemsern

Some random facts

  • Current favorite quote: "Twees it out!"
  • I have a poster on my wall that my sister made for me that says "cool tapes!"
  • My birthday is the same as the composer Richard Wagner's.
  • My cousins have a pair of red boxing gloves that resemble Strong Bad's. The first time I tried them on, I naturally decided to try typing with them. No success. I still have no idea how he does it.


ME: And that's why come Schubert was so awesome.

STRONG SAD: Ohh! I see now!
