Title: These ARE the droids you're looking for.
Post by: duckfish405 on April 20, 2013, 11:01:08 AM
Hey, everybody.  Go ahead and call me either Aiden or Biscuit, though I'd prefer Biscuit, because I respond to it best.  That's what everybody calls me, teachers and my boss included.  It's my way of having a very androgynous nickname without having to answer the awkward question, "Hey, girl, why do you want me to start calling you by a boy's name?"

I'm a very proud geek.  I have a decent collection of video games (and love to talk about them, so don't get me started), I paint miniatures, I practically worship Joss Whedon, and every Saturday night, I run a Buffy the Vampire Slayer tabletop role-playing game for my friends.  I love role-playing games, but don't even think of mentioning Dungeons & Dragons.  I love the world, but hate the system.

As far as career goes, I'm currently in college studying welding, precision machining, and pipe fitting.  I work in the welding lab at my college doing grunt work to make the professor's job a whole lot easier.  The job is pretty exhausting for someone like me who has noodles for arms, but I absolutely love it. 

TL;DR My name's Biscuit, I'm a geek, I'm awkward, and I'm a welder/machinist.

Have a great day, and thank you for reading!

The world needs more geeks.  Welcome! :)

How did you get the nickname Biscuit?

Thank you, gennee, and hello as well :)

There's not much story with my nickname, Anna.  "Biscuit" just rhymes with a shortened version of my birth name (Whit), and my best friend started calling me Whit Biscuit out of the blue.  That was shortened to Biscuit, and that's that!
