Suppose I could add my tuppence worth...
Male, 31, single.
Working here in sunny* Edinburgh, yes, that's even further north than Cookie Monster and Jetlag. (my Dad's from Carlisle by the way, though he's lived up here for more than 3 decades)
*For sunny read wet 'n' windy 'n' sunny, we frequently have several weather types all at once.
And to cover the topic tangent Dee introduced...
Yup, me too.

Who's my #7 artist, hmm?
My favourite pair of tracks, though, are Valhalla and Majesty from their Live album.

Well, I listen regularly to 3 of your top 10 at least, Rev.
Blind Guardian, Dire Straits and Jethro Tull.
Although Kamelot are definitely my favourite band at the moment... I wonder if any of you have heard of them...

Since it seems this thread (besides what nonesense that happened earlier) has turned into talking about where you live why don't we discuss that?
I'll start: I live in a two story modified ranch built about 60 years ago. I live in a large wooded rural/farming community that is quickly (unfortuantely) turning into Surburban areas. We also have a lot of sand and gravel mining around here to. Since the village I live is West Sand Lake and the town is Sand Lake I use to think that it was called this because of all the sand and lakes in the area but recently came to know that it was named after a lake that was named Sand Lake (it is called Chrystal Lake today) because there use to be a glass making factory near the lake and they used the sand from the bottom of the lake to make the glass. My town is which is also partly named Averill Park today use to be famous for the textile and clothing mills up until about 50 years ago. The most famous mill was called the Faith Knitting Company or Faith Mills which is famous for the long underwear they made. The mills were closed down in the 60s because of the unions (and not for good reasons). So much for Progressivism...
For 50 years the town went toward a more rural wooded/farming community and is now quickly turning into a surburban area where a lot of rich (mostly snobs) people from New York City, Texas, and California who drive too fast in their fancy sport cars and won't allow businesses to start in the area because it would ruin the community while leaving the working class people to hang out to dry without employment whose families have lived in the community since the 17 or 1800s. Anyways, sorry for the rant, I live about 20 minutes away from the Capital of New York State called Albany, originally founded by the Dutch as Fort Orange until the English took it over. I also live about 10 minutes away from the historical city of Troy built by the Irish in the 1800s and home to the famous Uncle Sam whose resting place got on the news because some kids vandalized the area during an anti-war protest on Flag Day. I doubt it had anything to do with the protest though because the kids that were arrested didn't seem like the types to be involved with a crowd like tht but I could be wrong. I think they just used the chaos to vent out their destructive nature.
I think I'll leave it there for now

...Broadcast Communications and am currently looking for full time employment. Anyone looking to hire?

I'm looking more for a job in television and local but I might need to take anything I can get sooner or later. I never knew you had connections in the industry, Jes. Thanks for the thought.
But if I can't find anything where I want to go then I'll consider this options. Once again thanks.
I would doubt I could get a job for 120k a year as I'm young and just out of college. And I don't want to live big or be wealthy. Just enough to live by is all I would ever accept.

Nightfall's a great song... I have a soft spot for "When Sorrow Sang" and of course "The Bard's Song" is fun to listen to...
Right now listening to Demons and Wizards "Fiddler on the Green."
...and along RKL's vein of thought: I am listening to it in my 3rd story dorm room in Waterville, ME. A town that has similar problems to his in that the the paper mills that provided its economy have long been shut down, and the disparity in financial class between the relatively rich college kids and the low class townsfolk is making things difficult for the Mainers. It's a bit of an allegory for the state of Maine as a whole, which is divided up between rich folk in the southern half and the not-so-rich in the northern half. The rich summer vacationers are driving up prices way too high and it's a real stress on the state natives. Not to mention all the rising lakeside property taxes starting to take their toll on Maine families who are going to be driven out eventually. As a child of Connecticut suburbia, living in Maine has been somewhat of an eye-opener to be sure.
