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 Led Zeppelin being my hands-down favorite. I am an editor and Administrator here on The Sims Wiki, and I'm here to edit as well as to help editors and to maintain order. If you need or want to talk to me, please use my talk page. I may also be on the IRC Channel for live chat if I'm currently online. Alternatively, if you feel your message requires more privacy, you can send me an e-mail, but please tell me on my talk page if you send me an email, otherwise I may not receive your message right away. I am also an Administrator on the RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki, a relatively small Wiki for the RollerCoaster Tycoon game series. Questions about Me If you want to know more about me, ask me questions on my talk page! What are my favorite video games? I love The Sims (duh) but besides that, I like the SimCity series, RollerCoaster Tycoon, any old-school Sonic the Hedgehog video games from the early 1990s, and 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 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? ---- Thanks for stopping by! - Patrick a.k.a. LostInRiverview Transcluded page
