The story of Jello

The clouds boil overhead. The whipping winds carry the stench of sulfur. The ground shatters. Large chunks crumble into the raging waters. Chaos brings the old existence crashing to its knees and stirs new life. And Jello rises from the primordial ooze.
     Perhaps once in an epoch evolution twists life into such an unconventional shape, and even
more rare is a mutation of such power. The being known as Jello came to life with full awareness
of its surroundings and its incredible magic. Jello had powers heretofore only imagined by the
creatures dragging their bellies through the muck. It could identify any object, no matter how
foreign. It could teleport from one place to another in the blink of an eye. It could obliterate
entities with an awe-inspiring ball of fire. It could alter weapons to make them more effective.
It also had the ability to rob beings of their sight.
     As time went on, the world grew and changed and so too did the mutated primordial ooze
change and grow. Jello discovered the ability to create objects the likes of which had never been
seen. It could switch its consciousness into another body. It could force creatures to perform any
activity, from posing to speaking. It could even send messages that were heard throughout the
land and could not be traced back to it. These messages were used to confuse the masses and
inspire fear and mistrust against those Jello wished vanquished.
     Faced with this intimidating display of power, all those within Jello's reach began to
worship it as a deity. Few ever caught a glimpse of Jello, but its power was known far and wide
and all creatures showed it blind devotion. Numerous sacrifices were made to this unusual god,
but no one could give it its one true desire.
     Although Jello is essentially a formless orange mass with a gloppy, sloshy, sticky, gooey
consistency, it found that it could hold a shape for a short period of time. It grew dissatisfied with
the temporary aspect of its forms and attempted to create a permanent figure for itself. It was in
this pursuit that Jello came to know its limits. Jello met with failure time and again. With the
perversity of the humanity it lacks, Jello wants only that which it cannot have.
                                                                                                     -Dagmar

Jello's Personal Info Well, i was born on the 23rd of December, perhaps more recently than one would think. For 17 years i lived in Cos Cob, Connecticut, and then began school at Alfred University. In my first year at Alfred, i met Melanie through the school computer system, when she responded to a message i posted on the school electronic bulletin board. Now (June 1998) i've gotten a job in Charleston, South Carolina (despite my degree in political science), an actual apartment that i'm sharing with my sweetie, and i'm working my way up to being an adult-type person!
In my spare time, well... i don't do anything productive. My biggest hobby is working on my beloved Baby, a 1982 K-20. What's a K-20, you ask? Well, that's why i put a link there. 8P i now have a second car, a big white 1963 Chrysler New Yorker named Eleanor, who has been getting more attention than Baby just because she needs a bit more work...
i love cars in general, and i also like taking pictures, and i managed to get some pretty nice shots at the 1998 Concours D'Elegance in Greenwich... Be warned, this page takes a LONG time to load.
When i'm not at work, i also spend a lot of time MUDDING. A MUD is a Multi-User Dimension (sometimes called a Multi-User Dungeon, but don't get too excited- it's not that kind of dungeon), a text-based on-line game, usually themed after Dungeons & Dragons or similar fantasy/ role-playing stuff. i play on Barren Realms, a customized Merc/Diku mud. It's non-player killing, non-player stealing, with no clans or special guilds. In other words, it's a friendly place. They've got their own webpage, done in much better style than i'm capable of, if you want to learn more about BR. i'm an Immortal on Barren, which means that i help people who are having trouble, boot out the riff-raff, and can whup some serious butt. After playing Merc muds for three years, and racking up an imm character and five heroes, i figure i've got the creds to offer some advice to beginning mudders. i'm best known as Jello (named after Jello Biafra, lead singer for the Dead Kennedys), but i've got a few other characters... like Tuppy, Tang, and Caspian. Melanie, my main squeeze, plays as Dagmar, Mallomar, Marzipan, and a few other characters... say howdy if you see us on!

It's also been rumored that i like chickens!
