==Bio==
I'm LostInRiverview (aka Pat, Patrick, LiR, Lost...), I'm 20 years old and a university student from the midwestern United States. As a college student, I worked on political campaigns in the 2008 United States elections; at that time I joined the university's student government, which I served on for two years. In that time, I also landed a spot on the university radio station and served as a DJ and radio show co-host with a friend of mine. When not online or editing here on the Wiki, I listen to music; mainly classic rock, with the rock band [[wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] being my hands-down favorite.

===Questions about Me===
''If you want to know more about me, ask me questions on my [[user talk:LostInRiverview|talk page]]!''
;What are my favorite video games?
I love The Sims (duh) but besides that, I like ''[[Wikipedia:SimCity (series)|the SimCity series]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:RollerCoaster Tycoon|RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'', any old-school ''[[wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' video games from the early 1990s, and ''[[wikipedia:Golden Sun|Golden Sun]]''.
;What are my favorite television shows?
The Simpsons is a top favorite. Also on the list is the "game show" ''Wipeout'' as well as a canceled show called ''Whose Line is it Anyways?''
;What is my favorite movie?
I don't watch many movies, but my favorite would be ''[[Wikipedia:Dr. Strangelove|Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb]]'' (real title); it's a cold-war comedy filmed in 1963, and I love it.
;What are my favorite foods?
I really don't have any favorite foods; I'm more able to tell you what I don't like... I hate eggs and bananas, mainly.
;What do you want to do as a career?
I have many dream jobs; I think it would be cool to be a map designer (Cartographer, to be exact), or else to work in the political spectrum, although I don't think I would like being a politician - I would have to talk to too many people. Being an urban planner would also rank high on my list of dream jobs. However, what I would like to be the most is a meteorologist (i.e. weather person); notice how my avatar is a tornado. However, I have not made any decisions thus far about which of these (if any) is right for me.

==Current Projects and/or Ideas==
*A major project involving updating most (if not all) templates so that their documentation is included via the doc template.

==Completed projects / finished ideas==

*A template for short sections (see [[Template:Expand]])

==Riddles/Puzzles==

'''Not Quite a Riddle''' - This has been floating around for a while, but hopefully you haven't heard it or read it yet - It's one of my favorites.

''Two old friends meet up in a restaurant over drinks of cold iced tea. The waiter delivers two teas, and the friends start drinking. The first friend is very thirsty and drinks his tea quickly. The second friend is there more to chat, and drinks his tea very slowly, enjoying the conversation. The second friend finishes their drink, then suddenly drops to the floor, dead. Both drinks were exactly the same in every way - how did the second person die when the first did not?''

|'''Answer:''' The ice in the drinks was poisoned. The second person drank their iced tea so slowly that the ice inside it melted, releasing the poison which killed him. The first person drank it so quickly that the ice had no chance to melt, and he was fine.
