I don't have too many hobbies or obsessions; Exalted, working out, and occasionally skateboarding are just about it. School has always dominated so much of my time, and faltering health has, for the (short) duration of my life, always dominated what little free time I had left over. The only physical activity that I've ever been able to pursue despite my health problems has been working out, and I've been a three-hours-a-day gym-a-holic for about a year and a half now (though there was a lapse of about six months in there, due to a long period of hospitalization. blah.) | I don't have too many hobbies or obsessions; Exalted, working out, and occasionally skateboarding are just about it.

== Note: I'm back. I was gone for a while. I apparently missed the memo about the move to the new site, so I've been checking back at the lensman URL. Fan-freakin'-tastic. Anyway, hey. ==
So, lots of people seem to put up little autobiographical tidbits on their UserPages, so I thought I'd share. My name is James Steinberg, though I go by Miedvied online(Russian for Bear; I was called Mishka (teddy bear) ever since I was little. I'm not so little now). I graduated Stuyvesant not too long ago, and I'm now headed over to Rutgers University, ready to major in biology (with plans of either going to medical school, doing a residency in general surgery, and a fellowship in neurosurgery, or going to dentistry school, getting a D.D.SMiedvied/M.D. in Oral Surgery, with a fellowship in plastic surgery.)
I don't have too many hobbies or obsessions; Exalted, working out, and occasionally skateboarding are just about it. School has always dominated so much of my time, and faltering health has, for the (short) duration of my life, always dominated what little free time I had left over. The only physical activity that I've ever been able to pursue despite my health problems has been working out, and I've been a three-hours-a-day gym-a-holic for about a year and a half now (though there was a lapse of about six months in there, due to a long period of hospitalization. blah.)
What else... What else...
Oh. Yeah. I'm a New Yorker. See? Rude and evil and pushy. That's what I must be.
Actually, I am rude and evil and pushy. Huh.
Huh. Oh. Yeah, I haven't used whimit in about ... forever ... now, but there are some pictures of me up there.
http:/www.miedvied.com is my new site. I'm moving pretty much all my roleplaying stuff there, including whatever's up here (though I'm not deleting this page.) Just a heads-up.
Reminder to self for concepts to write up:
-MnS: Guild mercenary guard
-MnS: Guild caravanserai garrison
-Wood-Aspect hermit
-Invisible Fortress - demon-blooded solar-descendant
-Night-caste scourge of the underworld
-Romanesque gladiator (human, dynast, DB?)
-Guild Pharmacist (wood db)

For what it's worth, I always figured you were a guy. ;) --dissolvegirl
I'm flattered, hehe. I guess it would be more clear to people if I made it clear that my username is my Russian nickname, and translates roughly to Grizzly Bear. - Miedvied
I too, always thought you were one. -BogMod
Who didn't think you were male? _Ikselam
Shaitana said I was a most excellent woman for trying to contribute to the Lexicon, after her pointing out it's going defunct. I'll remove the sticky on the Recent Changes page once she replies, so I know she's seen it. - Miedvied
You know, you could have left a note on my UserPage or something rather than publicly humiliating me. :P At any rate, I think I mixed you up with someone with a similar username. My apologies, again.

PS: It's Shataina.
PPS: I took the liberty of removing your note.
