All About Me!

Ok, to give you viewers a little chance to get to know me a little better... why not make a page about it? Hm? Well, unless you're into reading about other people, you'll probably find this kind of boring. Oh well, lets start! :)

First off, my real name is Ben (If you haven't already heard xD), I go by the alias Shady on most internet related things... Don't ask me how I came up with the name. Also note it has nothing to do with Eminem. xD
Well, I'm currently 16 years old. This came about after being alive for 16 years. Cool huh? No? Ok :'( My official birthday is the 3rd of June, 1991.
I live in... kind of a small town in New South Wales, Australia.

School

I attend a public school (which will remain nameless xD) and am in Year 12 (For those a bit confused; I started school a year earlier than normal. I guess I'm just so smart... Not really. xD)
I get fair grades; really good in some, terrible in others. So, it evens out, right? ^^;
... Um... Oh, and I take the following subjects! In the Sporting Field, my favourite has got to be Athletics. Running, Jumping... all that stuff I really like. I've made it too a state level for my specialty event; High Jump *smug* :P. My record (last time I checked) is around 1m 62cm (for all those who don't use metric, that's 63.7794 inches to be precise. xD).

That's about it on the schooling front. So... let's talk about something else.

Free Time

In my free time, I usually log onto the internet; mainly posting on PE2K, my... forum of origin. xD
I regularly just muck about in Photoshop too, making random things. Most of it I don't like... But maybe that's just modesty talking, lol. I've been making banners/avatars/images for quite a while. Spriting is kind of a past-hobby. I used to enjoy it, not so much anymore. I don't know, I just kind of lost interest after a while.

Um.. other interests... hmm...
I'll just list some more random stuff...

Favourite Colour: Orange
Favourite Movie: Uh... The Simpsons! (Spiderpig! :D), Jurassic Park and pretty much any comedy.
Favourite Cartoon: Look up^, Family Guy, Futurama
Favourite TV series: Heroes, House... um... The Amazing Race. xD
Favourite Video Games: All Pokemon (more the spin-off games than the normal, lately), The Sims, Destroy All Humans! xD
Favourite Book: Harry Potter! xD

If you couldn't gather from my selections; or my huge (over)use of the 'xD' smiley, I like to laugh. A lot. If you talked to my friends, they'd tell you that: "It doesn't count when he laughs at your joke. He laughs at everything."
In most cases it's true. Go on, talk to me on MSN or AIM or something... I'll say more 'lol's than... I don’t know... Something funny. xP

Ok, I bet this is getting kind of boring for you now. I'll speed it up... ok, onto Pokemon!

Pokemon

I've been an on again off again fan of Pokemon since about year 3 of school (which would make me... about 7/8 years old at the time). I was obsessed with Yellow Version back when it was in style xD I remember faking sick one day so I could go home and play it (my ear hurt was my excuse... if I remember correctly ... What? I was 7 xD) Anyway, here are some random favourites of Pokemon:
Favourite Pokemon: It changes frequently... but, I'll say Caterpie! :3
Favourite Pokemon Type: Bug! All the way. xD
Favourite Region: Johto!
Favourite Generation: 2nd. Johto Again!
Favourite Console Game: Does ‘Super Smash Bros’ count as a Pokemon game?
Favourite Spin-off Game: Mystery Dungeon/ Pokemon Dash
4th gen game choice: Diamond
Favourite Legendary: I'll have to say Lugia (I just love Aeroblast so much! xD)
Favourite Starter: Probably Cyndaquil

Can't think of much else, ^^; Go look at some of the other pages for a while xD
