About Me
Hi everyone. I tend to write lengthy comments, so I apologize if I've clogged up your user page. Feel free to return the favor on my page. :)  I've been playing Guild Wars for a little less than a year. I mostly enjoy playing PvE but sometimes play some types of PVP. I'm a bit of a synergy freak, so I enjoy reading the skills lists a lot, trying to find interesting combinations, and helping people improve their build ideas.  Because I'm always buying new skills, armor and runes for new builds or characters, and hardly ever go adventuring in the Realms of the Gods, I'm basically always broke.  At least I've learned to save money by using weapons collectors whenever possible, especially for wands and focus items.  Although Guild Wars is still my video game of choice, I do play other video games as well.  I have a Nintendo DS Lite and am currently playing Puzzle Quest (and RPG with puzzle battles, think Guild Wars crossed with Bejeweled), and Advance Wars Dual Strike.  I've also just purchased a Wii but don't have many games yet. I still like to break out my Dreamcast now and then! Outside of video games, I also greatly enjoy boardgames (chess, diplomacy, european strategy games, etc), and I'm a huge music geek. Lately I've been trying to balance my video game playing time with other activities, especially reading books more often.  Currently reading: Mr Palomar by Italo Calvino.

Page Layout Credits
The layout for my character page was taken from Helena. Special thanks to her for letting me use it, and also to Azroth for pointing me in the right direction. The idea for tabbed pages was inspired by Xasxas256's page.
