What languages do you know, and how fluent are you in each?

German, not enough to have a conversation. Took the class in school.

In 5 sentences, no less or more, tell me about yourself.
My name is Patrick, I'm a 19-year old guy and I'm not different from many others.
I currently don't have a job and I don't attend any school, at the moment I'm looking for either though.
I get through the day by hanging out with friends, playing basketball, skating, browsing Hack Forums ofcourse and smoking a joint from time to time.
I'm honestly a bit quiet, I don't really talk unless a proper conversation is going.
I'm very positive as a person and I like to converse, I don't have much negativity to share.

Favorite Book?
You'd probably really like an answer where I show off a very popular and exciting book that I've read, but truth is I don't like reading books at all.
I find more excitement in reading articles and the news. Books aren't my thing.

That's it. I hope you will consider me to become a member of the team. Thanks for reading.

In 5 sentences, no less or more, tell me about yourself: I'm a 22 year old student pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology so that I can develop the skills and knowledge necessary to aid survivors of sexual violence. Outside of academia, I enjoy and maintain a variety of hobbies. I immerse myself in activities that encourage physical, mental, and emotional growth. My life has always been about evolving and bettering myself without trepidation. I've made great strides in every facet of my life and I plan to continue on the path towards personal and objective success.

Favorite Book? Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite book.

Other Relevant Information: During my four years of studying, I have written numerous academic papers relating video games to psychology. Video games are a huge passion of mine and I've always enjoyed writing about them from various angles. I've been doing so since high school. Naturally, in my field of study, I often write about world news and how the events impact society too. It's also important to note that my grammar, spelling, and punctuation skills are impeccable.

While I can't say the news is exceedingly dull,
as of late, I've observed, it's gone into a lull.
In order to get through to readers' thick skulls,
I think I've contrived a solution.

While not to intrude on your fine paradigm
I hope you'll consider my offer in time;
Allow me to grace your plain journal with rhyme.
