Faulkner, it's a private school up in Montgomery. I'm at a different school now, couldn't stand going to such a small, conservative school.

Oh I know Faulkner, went to a Boy Scout event there. It does seem pretty evangelical and tiny, so I don't blame you for transferring out. Be careful with them hogs, bruh. My dad shot a huge one through the lungs with a 7mm magnum and a bullet rated for deer and it didn't make an exit wound. We barely found it because it bled so little externally even though the lungs were totally full. If you're bowhunting I'd strongly recommend not shooting at the big boars unless you're very confident you can get the heart and have the penetration for it. They carry a lot of dense cartilage on the ribcage that fucks with arrows and even rifle bullets.

tbh I like to bitch and drink wine myself. Hoover and most of the Birmingham suburbs are pretty sterile, though, so I get your grip. Real curious where you go now though, since I'd expect Hooverites to be at Bama, Samford or BSC. I'd post pics of dead animals but I got banned for that last time.

I studied biology. I'm gonna be hypocritical and refuse to tell you where I went because so few people from AL go there in a given year that I'd seriously be doxing myself.

I play piano and like to listen sometimes to the great Romantics and Moderns, though I can't claim a very sophisticated taste in music (I hardly know any theory). I used to listen to jazz a lot, but somehow that doesn't grab me as much as it used to. I watch TV and movies sometimes. I admit that I still sometimes watch YouTube let's players, even though I gave up video games a few years ago. Of course, I also browse /lit/, though not quite as much as I used to. I also sometimes check up on /an/ for their herp threads, since I've loved lizards all my life. I lift, too. I'm thinking that maybe I should take a music theory class next semester; it's just somewhat daunting, since I've tried to teach it to myself before and gave up because it was just too complicated. But I'd love to compose something, though I know it'd take years of study to learn how to compose a small ditty.

What's the significance of any of this, anyway?

>On the outbreak of World War I, Wittgenstein immediately volunteered for the Austro-Hungarian Army
>In March 1916, he was posted to a fighting unit on the front line of the Russian front, as part of the Austrian 7th Army, where his unit was involved in some of the heaviest fighting, defending against the Brusilov Offensive. Wittgenstein directed the fire of his own artillery from an observation post in no-man's land against Allied troops - one of the most dangerous jobs there was, since he was targetted by enemy snipers.
> In action against British troops, he was decorated with the Military Merit with Swords on the Ribbon, and was commended by the army for "His exceptionally courageous behaviour, calmness, sang-froid, and heroism", which "won the total admiration of the troops."
