    You like David Tennant, and that is all I really need to know.

    Seen you around but never really got the chance to talk to you. You seem pretty cool though.

    My entire school is full of people who like to party, but somehow most of them get their work done. I met a guy who gets drunk basically all the time and even told a guy to punch him in the face. He's also aerospace, has a full scholarship and a GPA of 3.7. He's also really good at piano. While I don't like him much while he's drunk, he's pretty damn cool while sober.

    BioE and biomech systems in general aren't really my focus but I do like the idea of Deus Ex type shit happening. There's a lot of good that can be done in improving prosthetics and researching various implants. I know a guy whose focus is that stuff. Though, I'm taking a bio-inspired robotics class this fall, and I'm really looking forward to it.

    Oh my god, I completely forgot about your name change! Hey, man! How have you been? Long time no speak.[DOUBLEPOST=1366571406][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Damn, good for you, dude. You've got your passion and you're pursuing it to the fullest. Have you taken programming courses yet? I've only taken a basic one myself (intro to C) and it was pretty intense.

    Ahah damn, that right there is some clever cinematography. What is that from, pray tell?[DOUBLEPOST=1366571513][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Awesome stuff! Really glad to hear it's working out. School can be a pain, but it's a good means to doing what you wanna do in life ahah. You got this!

    How's track treating you? Had some of my best times in high school through running track, wish I had time for it in college.[DOUBLEPOST=1366571738][/DOUBLEPOST]
    David Tennant is my favorite Doctor and one of my favorite people ever. Just. God damn, he's talented. And not for nothing, but he's pretty darned attractive. Matt Smith is great too, but I can't help but like Tennant a bit more still.

    Oh, I know you! The past usernames thing is really useful, wow. But yeah, shocked that we've never bumped into each other formally around here. I'm John, 'tis a pleasure, madam.[DOUBLEPOST=1366571986][/DOUBLEPOST]
    That guy right there is the kind of partier I respect. Some people have ugly drunk sides, but it's good that you can bro around with him when he's sober. It's funny how college is really a weird hybrid of both big stereotypes of it. Parties abound, and study time out the wazoo.

    Prosthetics has always interested me. Making limbs that can be artificially innervated is mind-blowing. Bio-inspired robotics though, damn. Is that, like, designing robots that mimic living systems or something?

    Pretty much. We see something that some animal does and we go like, "How can I make a robot do that?" Kinda like a small scale version of PETMAN or Big Dog. It's because biology frequently gets it right because it's had billions of years and survival has been the tester. But yeah, people have been working more and more on that recently.

    Oho, so we have that much in common. Good.

    Yeah, I'm one of the few people who probably keeps that thing updated, haha. The pleasure is all mine. Call me Cat.

    I actually haven't taken any formal classes in programming yet, but I do have some experience with Q-Basic from when I was 11-ish. I'm sure I can transfer the skills fairly easily with whatever language I decide on.

    And I actually have no idea what that was from. I got both of those gifs from reddit.com/r/unexpectedoutcome.

    My god, it's you! How you been, man? Last I saw you you were still red; I'm digging the purple. Congrats!

    Heck yeah! I was a sprinter, but I was awful ahah. My friend and I were the only two sprinters on the team and we were both super out of shape. Our team didn't do too well at meets, needless to say. What do you run?

    Hot damn, that's cool. Any specific projects you have planned that you can disclose to me?

    Heck yes, Cat. Tell me, what are your thoughts on the idea of them revealing the Doctor's name? I haven't seen so many nerds up-in-arms since the Star Wars prequels.

    Well, I don't exactly fancy myself a programmer, but from what I've gathered, programming languages have a lot of similar fundamental logic. So I'm sure at least a little of your prior experience will be of some help in learning new languages. Also, semicolons.

    Pssssh. Do I even know you? I could've sworn they banned you back in 2008.

    Nothing really, because I'm too much of a bum to get a real job, I'm going back to the on campus microrobotics lab that I worked at the summer of my freshmen year. This time I'm likely to be doing more than taking data for someone else's project though.

    Really not looking forward to it tbh. I know it'll probably be a tease like in
    The Wedding of River Song when he whispers it in her ear
    but I still don't like the thought of revealing it.

    I'm excited for Journey to the Center of the TARDIS though. <3

    Yes, I'm climbing up the ladder :B Soon I will rule all.
    Thanks man. I've been really good actually. It's always nice to see oldies pop up every now and again. How's life dude?
