'''''FREEDOM! FOREVER!'''''
{{Signpost-subscription|right}}
Hi. I'm Phil. My birthday is February 24th. I've used Wikipedia for about two years. I found this site when my dad was searching on [[Google]] for events that happened in [[1933]]; my grandfather was turning 70.

I visit this site nearly everyday and do at least a few edits while I visit (sometimes I don't log in; I therefore don't edit on these occasions). On the [[Wikipedia:Wikipediholic|Wikipediholic]] test on 05/09/05, my result was a healthy '''117'''.

I love Wikipedia more than I love [[taffy]]...and I'm a guy who loves his taffy. [[Adam West (Family Guy)|(at this point, I have begun to chew taffy in a very creepy manner)]]

I mostly fixed typos, add ''Simpsons'' episode plots, ''Star Wars'' nitpicks, and often trivia to movies. Below is a timeline of my progress on Wikipedia:
*August 2003 - Discovered Wikipedia while searching for a list of events in 1933 with Google. Later used the site (searching for it through Google) for events in 1953.
*18:08 EST, 8 August 2004 - First recorded edit as B-101.
*18:56 EST, 30 August 2005 - First edit as JustPhil
*09/03/05 - Created the article for [[Little Girl in the Big Ten]], which makes the Simpsons episode list complete (until season 17 starts up).
*09/12/05 - '''''FINALLY''''' figured out how to upload images.
*3/23/06 - Received my very first [[Wikipedia:Barnstars|Barnstar]].

At first, I only went to Wikipedia and Memory-Alpha as an anonymous user. One day on Memory-Alpha, they asked me to have a user name. I was still relatively new to this and I didn't know I had to sign on. I liked the number "101", but I didn't want to be "T-101", the Terminator. My favorite Star Trek villains were the Borg, so I decided to be B(org)-101, putting it on talk pages without signing on. In August 2004, I was asked to become a user and therefore, I became B-101.

As of 6:56 PM EST 8/30/2005, I go by JustPhil. A friend of mine came up with that as my [[nickname]] and I recently thought it would be a better username.

"Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along."

"99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont

Nur 99 Luftballons"

Going underground, going underground
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow!"

"When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you."
- Petula Clark
