Well, first off, I'm Josh.
This introduction used to be MUCH longer, so I went through it and shortened it a lot.
I love running, Cross-Country running to be exact.
The Cross-Country Varsity Team that I am in came in 4th in State out of all the AAA teams in fall of 2007. I love the feeling of hearing the person with the microphone say "Ladies and Gentlemen, you are looking at the state's fastest in class AAA" at the starting line...
Oh, and my fastest 5 Kilometer (3.1 Mile) is 17 minutes and 5 seconds, fastest 10 Mile is 1 hour and 6 minutes, and my fastest 2 Mile is 11 minutes and 2 seconds...at the time of this post.
My goal for Fall of 2009 is low low 17's, and hopefully high 16's.
I run to hopefully earn a college Cross-Country scholarship. For that, I need to run a time of 17 minutes and 30 seconds (in a 5K) for colleges to notice me, which is not that far off.
Though, for a full ride, I think the time for that is around 16 minutes (in a 5K).
I also run because I like it. 
I have a schedule of my races on my website:
www.halls-of-honor.moonfruit.com
It will also have information on more of characters' builds...whenever I update them...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm half Filipino, and part: Scottish-Irish, English, and -maybe- Cherokee.
I can speak a few words in Tagalog (language spoken in the Philippines).
"Gusto kong tumakto." or "Ako maibigan sa tumakbo."
I am not sure which one is correct..."I like to run."
Also, since I have to take Spanish III honors, I can speak a few sentences in Spanish.
"¡Me gusta correr!"
"I like to run!"
Lastly, of course, English.
I like to run!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alrighty...now on to gaming
I have played multiple online games, but I do not like them anymore, so they are not worth mentioning. If I did, I'd go off on a tangent about what I did in each game...and you all would fall asleep on your keyboards by the end of it. I've played Lord of the Rings Online stress tests, then open beta, to now =D
I plan on staying with LoTRO for its life.
My characters are:
MAIN
Theulin - man captain
ALTS
Lorekthal - dwarf minstrel
Lendreal - elven guardian
Durith - hobbit burglar
Thurias - elf warden
Amdan - elf runekeeper
Mulgathin - 22 man lore-master. He is in 'Legion.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This next part is what I shortened the most. When I posted my introduction on the 'Legion' forums, it was much longer... maybe longer than all of this.
When I first started, I led a kinship named 'Red Dawn', but after a while I became uncomfortable leading, so I passed leadership to another. He went missing a week after that and we reformed into 'Timeless', and I was once again leader.
In both kinships, we had Ventrilo (hosted by a kind member) and a forum. Again, everything was great for a few months, but then we dwindled after one of our officers went missing and stopped logging in. I again got uncomfortable leading (and from then on I decided that I will never lead a kinship again). I looked around and talked with various kinship leaders to see which would be the best kinship to merge with.
We later merged with 'Evernight', a seventh generation group (their core has been grouped in 7 past MMORPGs). They promoted me to officer while I was in it. Ozzariel was the leader�s name. I was with them for about half a year. After a while, the core group got bored with LoTRO and moved back to WoW. Leadership was passed to Krund, but he later moved to WoW, leaving me, a few officers, and few members. Over Ventrilo, Krund and Ozzariel told me to tell the remaining officers and members that they are invited to join them in WoW. After that, I lost respect, somewhat, for those two. Then, leadership was passed on to Felantor / Eliaron. Our kinship decided to merge with 'Legion' after some searching.
'Legion' was a great kinship with great people. I was an officer there for about a year (I think I joined them around Thanksgiving, if I remember correctly), but I eventually left due to their raids starting too late for me to have their 4 hour minimum. I left on good terms, and I still have one character there, Mulgathin. I am still a member of 'Legion'.
Now, I am where you can find me today, in 'De Garuda', as a member at the time of this post.
