I am James Maxwell Bell. I was born some years ago in New York, and now live in Princeton, New Jersey. I have a good sense of humor (which I like to call my "sixth sense") and good common sense. My writing skills are somewhat unused, my last "great" work having been writing more than 2 years ago. My reading skills... well, that's a different story. I find practical jokes funny (kinda), but respect the feelings of the poor victim.

Quote of the Day (or Two Days)

 * If!
 * - The Spartans, upon responding to an invading army's threats, and who gave the word "laconic" its meaning (the Spartans lived in Laconia)

Studies
I have studied (or am studying):
 * English Basics (i.e. Grammar, R. & L. comprehension) to the fullest,
 * English Literature to an extent,
 * Ancient History (esp. Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as the Phoenicians, Babylonians, Chinese, Britons, Mayans, etc.),
 * Medieval History (esp. the Crusades),
 * Mathematics (Alg. and Geom. until beginning calculus; have won 2 awards already in state math competitions),
 * Classical Physics (to be continued),
 * Quantum Physics (beginning),
 * Astronomy (not astrology),
 * Geography (quite good),
 * Geology (also quite good),
 * Theology (always looking for people I can discuss this with),
 * Art (sculpture; paintings, a little),
 * German (lived in Germany for a couple of years, "very good" Deutsch, said they),
 * Latin (obligatory in Germany, still taking this up here),
 * Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs (self-studied),
 * and of course, Music (which is one of my multiple future careers and so far the most promising).

An award to anybody who can guess my age and my instrument!

Accent
American, but not strong. I can imitate British, Scottish, Spanish, or Italian accents very well. Am. or Brit. spelling is all the same to me.

Wikipedia
Why am I here? Hmmm, beats me.

My First Edit
Don't even bother. It's lousy. ;p

My Second Edit
Quite similar to the first.

Tasks
I have labeled myself as a contributor, "verifier", and spell-checker, although I prefer doing the first two tasks. I am very diplomatic and am a very good peacemaker. Don't try stepping on me, however, because I can recognize that and counter-attack it immediately.
