Re: [s-d] Casual Query |
I'm a senior at Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul, studying social science. When I'm not reading, writing, or goofing around online, I work for a couple of political campaigns. I was a member of B Nomic about five years ago, and I remember Wonko, the Voice, and Dave from those days. I ran a small nomic game with a few friends for a while, but they lost interest and the game collapsed. B Nomic was always more enjoyable anyway.
