Hello, everyone!

The alternative title refers to the fact that I've lived in San Diego for 11 years and have never learned how to surf because, I'm told, veteran surfers hate the n00bz so much that it's preferable to just stay the hell on land.

Here's hoping that folks making their first foray into home brewing aren't regarded with such dismay as would-be coral-eaters. (And this brings me to my first question: is the preferred spelling "home brew," "Home-brew," "Homebrew," or even "homeBrew?" Hmmm...)

A bit about me:
  • I'm 29.
  • I'm an instructional designer at Sony PlayStation.
  • I want to be a dean, provost, or department head and make education rad.
  • I'm a grammar nerd.
  • Need to know about the paraphrastic possessive, copulae, polysemy or phrasal verbs which masquerade as illegal sentence-ending no-nos? Ask me.
  • I speak good Japanese, OK French, and **** Icelandic (yes, I've lived there).
  • Making my own beer appeals to me because I get a kick out of the "throw a brick through a window when other people would go through pains to sneak in" approach. You should see the conflagrations when I cook...
  • In other words, I like wild experimentation. Yes, this means that so far, all my beer is ... questionable. I'm learning through iterative failure.
  • Example: I'm currently soaking a light toast oak spiral in Velvet Falernum to be added to a cream ale. I LOVE falernum.)
  • I've just noticed I've been censored already. Aw, Christ.

Second question: anyone know how to add secondary indentations to these bullet lists?

Anyway.

I hope you'll be patient with my oddball questions. I love learning.
In return, I promise to be as humble, articulate, polite, and aware of "my place" as possible. :)

Pleasure, all.

Cheers!
