I've always believed that TF2 and cooking were somehow linked with each other. I previously worked part time as a personal chef, and while I realized that that's probably not what I want in a career, I still love spending time in my kitchen.

MarxistMy favorite drinks

Whiskey: Grand Mariner hands down
Gin: Willow is the best I've had, but Tanqueray will do most times.

Grand Mariner? I don't think I've heard of that one.
Also, if you ever get the chance to have Rusty Blade gin, do it in a heartbeat and never look back. I'm not a huge fan of gin (by itself anyways, I like it for mixed drinks and punches), but it's probably one of the top 3 spirits I've ever had.

Grand Marnier is a Cognac (technically a whiskey) infused with (what are basically) tangerines. Typo in the first post :( lol

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Grand_Marnier_Bottle.jpg

I can appreciate other types of whiskey, I drank a lot of bourbon in college to make short of it, but if I'm gonna splurge on a fancier whiskey, we're going straight to Grand Marnier. It tastes like an orange popsicle - the kind you buy in the plastic baggy things.

One of my best friends is a real gin connoisseur so I picked up a lot of that from him, I'll have him track down some rusty blade for experimentation. Higher end gin tastes fine on its own - low end gin... well you may as well just drink a bottle of Christmas tree smell spray. It'll be cheaper and you'll at least have a fun story to tell the ambulance. If it's Tanqueray or below I'll mix it with tonic and a lime. A lot of whiskeys basically have to be mixed with water to make them tolerable if you intend to drink it (unless you can handle drinking a camp fire without retching - I'm looking at you Jack Daniels).

I'm really interested in the arts, I'm an Animation-Illustration major so I can possibly work in movies, TV shows/cartoons, videogames, product design, comic books, etc. The fine arts and classic illustration are also things I love and done a bit of self study on.

Aside from my academics I also enjoy film history, entomology, aquariums and my fish, classical violin [did that for 12 years before I went to college], cosplay, selling my art at conventions, videogames sometimes, playing with dogs, and concerts.

Rudimentary snare drumming (DCI, WGI), both teaching and performing, but studying computer science. Looks like there's a lot of CS people in the TF2 community, which is not surprising.

I have been playing the saxophone for 8 years. In the summer, I ride horses and sail. As far as sports go, I run every season: Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track. In the winter I like to ski, and have been doing that since before I can recall. Year round, I play video games.

Career-wise. I worked for about a year to get my pilots licence, and I have been flying privately for about a year.

School-wise, I love physics, despite my being poor at math, but English is by far my best subject. I lived in Switzerland for about a year, and I am fluent in French and English, pretty good at German, and I'm learning Spanish in school.

I always thought Grand Marnier was more of a brandy liqueur? I love adding it to punches and certain cocktails but I'd never thought of drinking it straight. It'd probably be a little sweet for my tastes.

If you're looking for a good low end gin for gin and tonics I'd recommend New Amsterdam. It's more citrus than juniper, which is perfect for a G&T. And at least in California, it was pretty reasonably priced for the quality.
As far as whiskey goes, I can't really condone watering it down unless it's sitting about 100 proof. Otherwise you're losing all those delicious subtle notes. Although if you're going hiking and want a pleasant buzz without bloating or impairment, the best choice is watering down whiskey to about 5-10%. That being said, whiskey is usually the only thing I'll drink so my preferences are probably a lot different than those who have more varied consumption.

Picking heavy things up and put them down again. Also really interested in Olympic Weightlifting, unfortunately there is no club where i live and learning the lifts by yourself takes a lot of time.

Golfing, cycling, soccer, skiing, and hiking in terms of outdoor hobbies. Academically, I enjoy computer science and electrical engineering. Pokemon and TF2 are what I play for fun when relaxing, but I also enjoy watching speedruns and DOTA2. If you're in college I'd say just try a bunch of different clubs, stop in for a meeting or two and see if it interests you, or just try a bunch of different things with friends. Don't force yourself to do anything you don't enjoy though.

Lifting weights, other video games, programming, maths, computer hardware and electronic music.
I also enjoy cooking but don't really have time/can't be bothered to cook very often.
I've also played drums for "8 years", but haven't touched them in 4 years since moving away from home and not having space in my inner city flats for a drum kit :'(

I enjoy hikes and nature walks because I live in a great place for it, and I've always wanted to try painting but I've never got around to it.

I'm a math CS double major with my math being primarily focused on discrete math.

Basically, I love graph theory, which is best summed up as "the analysis of relationships between things". It's a lot of fun and has tons of applications everywhere. Plus, there are a bunch of interesting unsolved problems.

Non-academically, I play tf2, quake, and mtg.
