My real name is Brett Potter- it isn't gwenny.
The nick name "gwenny the vegie" was given to me when I was about 12. My sister's name is Gwen, and we resemble eachother a ton. So, all my friends just started calling me gwenny, and since I don't eat meat- it all worked out.

I'm 18, I'll be 19 on September 11. (shitty birthday) I graduated from high school a couple months ago. And as all of you have probably heard from me by now, I'll be attending USC real soon this fall. Lately I havn't posted alot of what I've been doing, I'm not sure why. I start shooting on a short tomorrow morning, it will probably be a one day shoot. Maybe by the end of the weekend you homies can see what I've been up to lately. I am a computer geek on the inside, but you wouldn't be able to tell. That's about it.

How about us "state-ers" will show you some of our slang in return if you guys show us some of yours?

My first one is "jiggaman." (Jigg-Uh-man) Commonly reffered to famous hip-hop artist Jay-Z. Also referred to as a male prostitute. (gigolo man)

here you go:yeh,u no wot i meannn....wot..worter(yep dats how we say it!)

Hi, my name is Brett Wagner and I live in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. I didn't realize how "English" this site was until I found this post and saw how many of you guys are from the UK. I don't even know if it's appropriate to say you're all from the "UK". I have a wife of two years named Mindy and a son of one month named Sawyer. I'm a full time student at Geneva College where I major in theatre and am saving up my bingo tips (that's right, as in "'B11?' 'BINGO!'") to build a computer dedicated to movie editing.

Anyhoo, for some slang, in Pittsburgh (an hour south from me) we say "yinz" instead of "all of you" whereas in Alabama, where I was born, we said "ya'll". I'll always think English slang is much more preferable.

I have a strong desire to write and produce my own independent artsy-fartsy films and found this site to help guide me through the elements of editing and having the right computer for the job. I want to thank you guys for the help you've been after being a member for all of one day and I look forward to many more posts.

Cheers!

Hi guys my real name is Brian,

Live in Norwich- Norfolk - UK
Always loved taking video as a hobby.
After deciding to make a DVD for my Car club this year i really have pulled out all the stops, buying a new camcorder, lens, Pinaccle studio 9 and so on.
After the first clip i made with pinaccle - i was hooked, putting together a edited peice of work and adding a fantastic soundtrack, really does make me feel good
I married with a 4 year old daughter with another on the way.
I own a Air Con business and also have many other hobbies, which include photography, Track days in my car,PC Gaming, all Gadgets, Mobile Disco - in my spare time and car club meets.
