Get to Know The Team: Irisado

[Irisado]

It's close, but brilla is present simple, not present continuous, in this context, so the translation is shines, while I would translate espejea as glistens, although shimmer is probably possible too.

Thanks.

[Irisado]

I thought I'd make a few little updates.  Some things in the first post were no longer true.

[Steve]

Better sleeping habits? What's that? I've never heard of such a thing.

6'2"? Really? Awesome.

• Are you into sports?  If so which ones?
  I like watching Formula 1 and listening to crickets.

I fixed that for you.

[Irisado]

I do happen to like Buddy Holly and the Crickets, however, I don't think that's what you're referring to .  Also, you need to be introduced to the wonder of cricket .

Nope, unless they're wannabe insects.

Also, you need to be introduced to the wonder of cricket .

Is that any better than snooker?

Nope .  Also, they go back a bit too far in history to be wannabes  .

Is that any better than snooker?

It's just as much fun .

• Do you have pets?
  Nope, I'm allergic to anything with fur, so I can't join the SMF cat lovers club, and crocodiles aren't allowed as pets apparently.
• What is your favourite colour?
  I can't choose just one.  Red, purple, yellow, and orange are all favourites.
• What kind of music do you like?
  A very mixed bag.  Pop music of all sorts of types, as well as classical.  I can be listening to a 'cello piece at one moment, and then switch to Roxette.  Eclectic probably sums it up .
• What do you do in your free time besides spending time on SMF?
  I moderate other forums.  I'm also now working on trying to publish part of my PhD thesis.
• What are your goals/dreams in life?
  To finish my PhD, never do any research ever again, and become a full time university language tutor.  Two achieved, one still to go .  A bit of a re-think here, as to get into the university system I'm going to have to publish something.  To make my dream a reality, it's time to jump through some more hoops.
• What got you involved in SMF?
  I had previously managed a phpBB forum, been a regular user on a Vbulletin forum, and then signed up to a number of fora which used SMF.  I found SMF to be my favourite type of forum software, did some hunting around to find out more information, and ended up here.
• Who do you admire? Why?
  The Spanish teachers at school, and Spanish university lecturers who taught me on my undergraduate degree.  They were inspirational in shaping who I am today.  I also admire my parents for always being there.
• Are you into sports?  If so which ones?
  I like watching Formula 1 and listening to cricket.

  Irisado.

  No.

  Mostly right handed, but my left hand can do a few things, such as removing screw on lids, better than my right.

  No and no.
• Do you have any siblings?  If so, how many of each?
  No.

  40K Online and this one.

  Badly.  Much better these days .
• Have you ever been on an aeroplane?
  Yes, and I've got more frightened every time I've done so.  This is no longer the case.  I was much better on my last plane trip.

  Yes, my collar bone.

  No.

  Informally.

  Varies, although I am starting to go to bed earlier and get up earlier on a gradual basis.
• What's the freakiest thing you have done?
  Tumbling out of control down a ski slope was pretty freaky.  I never want to experience that again.
• Do you live alone?
  Yes.
• How many hours a day do you spend in front of the computer?
  Lots of them, but not as many as before.
• How many hours a day do you spend in SMF?
  Not too many.  Four or five perhaps.  It's on the rise though.  I tend to lose count some days, but it definitely rose to quite a few until recently.
• What is your favourite beverage - coffee, tea, soda, beer, other?
  Water.
• What do you hate?
  The obsession with the commercialisation of higher education and universities.  People who take decisions based on fear, ignorance, prejudice, and/or xenophobia, rather than based on acceptance, hope, inclusiveness, and the facts.
