| - | == Wilkommen bei Heimsternläufer.net. Es ist .de! ==
| + | |
| - | [[Image:HeimsternGreatWall.JPG|thumb|Yeah, that's what I look like. On the Great Wall, no less.]]
| + | |
| - | Hallo! Wie geht's Euch? Ich freue mich, daß Ihr meine Webpage besucht!
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | So, my name's Nat. I'm a resident of [[Wikipedia:California|California]], though I currently live in [[Wikipedia:China|China]].
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I got a Master's degree in 2007 in Music Theory because I'm obsessed with classical music of all sorts, especially [[Wikipedia:Franz Josef Haydn|Haydn]], [[Wikipedia:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], [[Wikipedia:Franz Schubert|Schubert]], [[Wikipedia:Carl Maria von Weber|Weber]], [[Wikipedia:Richard Wagner|Wagner]] and [[Wikipedia:Gustav Mahler|Mahler]]. That, and I've recently developed a strong fascination for [[Wikipedia:Léo Delibes|Delibes's]] [[Wikipedia:Lakmé|Lakmé]]. I enjoy singing all sorts of classical music, not to mention occasionally something outside the classical repertoire (usually seems to be "[[Wikipedia:Hotel California (song)|Hotel California]]" or "[[Wikipedia:Grace Kelly (song)|Grace Kelly]]").
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I am also fluent in [[Wikipedia:German language|German]] and enjoy speaking it whenever I can (as some of you may have guessed, my user name is a direct translation of the name "Homestar Runner"). Many on the Wiki believe I am German, and sometimes I wish I could tell them that I am. But it's just not the case: I was born and raised in the United States of America and have never lived in Germany.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Since I started coming to China in 2006, I've started learning [[Wikipedia:Chinese language|Chinese]], too. I'm not fluent as yet, but I get many, many opportunities to practice here in China, so many that I start to feel like my German has fallen by the wayside. China and its culture and history have become yet another fascination of mine, so I suppose I'm in the right place these days.

| - | | + | |
| - | I used to do a couple of contests on my userpage. I haven't done them in quite some time due to time constraints and the fact that the subtitles project has made my first a bit obsolete. Here, at any rate, are all the winners of the contests, whose wins I intend to keep recorded on this page as long as the page itself continues to live:

| - | ==My history with H*R and the Wiki==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I first discovered homestarrunner.com in March 2003 when I saw a couple of friends of mine watching various [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]] (at the time, [[the show]] was the new Email). I remember laughing really hard at [[japanese cartoon]]: I used to have a roommate who liked anime and so the parody of the clichés resonated well with me. After a couple of weeks, I went back and watched all the Strong Bad emails to that date (this time, it was [[spring cleaning]] that made me just about fall out of my chair). That summer, I introduced it to my entire family and hooked all three of my sisters (who often try very hard not to like anything that I like).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I first encountered the Wiki sometime in 2004 or 2005 (I believe I followed a link from [http://www.wikipedia.org Wikipedia]), but I didn't become a regular user until summer of 2005. At that time, I discovered all the awesome things on the Wiki. I first registered sometime around 23 August 2005 because I wanted to vote on [[STUFF]]. For over a month, I remained a redlinked user and only voted in STUFF and occasionally corrected spelling or grammar (albeit anonymously). On 6 October 2005 I finally made a user page and was greeted shortly thereafter by [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] (back when he was called "notstrongorbad") and [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]. This was when I began to contribute to the wiki, and Dot com remains a close wiki associate and, more importantly, friend to this day. At first, it was just a little bit here and there, but eventually I became a very active user. I must have done something right, because I was made a sysop on 7 March 2006.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | While, alas, no pictures worth posting came out of the event, I'm glad to have had one chance to meet one of my fellow wiki sysops in real life. In early 2008, I made a short trip down to [[Wikipedia:San Diego|San Diego]] to meet [[User:Trey56|Trey56]], who was there briefly. I had a good time showing him around one of my favourite cities in the world.

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | I enjoy making sure that the Wiki remains free of defacements and poor edits, and am to that end a member of the Recent Changes Patrol. I've reverted many a vandal edit in my day and have blocked several (or, in my pre-sysop days, informed sysops of them). My most memorable experience fighting vandals occurred when [[User:Lapper|Lapper]], [[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] and I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning of 28 January 2006 stopping an annoying group of sockpuppets.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | What else do I do here on the Wiki, you ask? Or maybe you don't ask, but I'm still going to tell you. I vote on STUFF and correct bad spelling and punctuation (some of you should really watch [[local news]] again: Ohh, if-you-want-it-to-be-possessive-it's-just-I-T-S. But-if-it's-supposed-to-be-a-contraction-then-it's-I-T-apostrophe-S. Scalawag.) I also look for various opportunities to add content and to participate in discussions on the wiki. I tend to monitor the [[HRWiki:Featured Article Selection|featured article selection]] process here on the wiki and make sure it runs smoothly.
