I played roller hockey for 9 years. That's about it for "manly" sports. I don't think unicycling, while extremely cool, will win many points even if it is off road unicycling, just because its so weird.

Its actually pronounced like seen. Like i seen you before lol. Ive only had one person guess it right the first time and that was a spanish substitute, I dont know what my mom was thinking but I like it cause im the only cean that I know of :cool:

varsity hockey starting right defender
varsity baseball captain - Pitcher/CF
5'9 165 was able to bench 275 and squat 330 at my apex.

Threw a no-hitter before I tore my labrum sr. year. had an ERA a shade over 2 pretty good accuracy and topped off around 84 with my 4-seam, had a wicked low 70's curve and a mid 70's slider, my 2 seamer was garbage and i rarely threw it, then i had the screwball, ahh the screwball, an experimental pitch that someone rocked me for a double the first and only time i threw it in the game :p

I recently hit 74, my arm doesn't have what i had. kinda sucks cuz i was scouted by a few D1 colleges. I couldn't hit for power had 4 HR's in my career and had a batting average of .421

In hockey we played a 21 game season i had 14 goals and 19 assists my senior year and was the come back player of the year my senior year.

and was ranked 11/450 :-D

this was years ago, before i discovered alcohol and drugs :|

but even siddhartha had his moments !

Most Call of Cthulhu games last about 4 sessions or less depending on how sadistic you GM is.

I'm talking about campaigns spanning a year of more.

How bad is it when you play a pen and paper game that's been going on since 1999??

BTW I play hcokey.

I played school vollyball and basketball. And outside of school I play hockey and golf. I also weight lift a lot. I have a few nerdy friends like me, but most don't know wtf a computer is good for.

I suppose you could say I'm both.

I'm majoring in Math and CS while a member of the national swim team.
So I suppose I'm both athletic and nerdy
