My nick goes way back to my Freshman year of college. When we first moved in, the RAs had signs on all the door with our names. Months later, when we figured that just about anyone who we'd want to see would know our names already, my roommate hung a sign on our door that read "Garth and Enoch" (not even close to our real names). He offered me first choice and I decided to be Enoch. Later, I used it as a character name when I played BG1.
The avatar is part of a series of photos of jazz musicians I've been using. The current cover-boy is Sun Ra.

I'm a jazz-freak, mostly (I play the saxophone. Meet me by the dumpster after school, Deadeye :angry: ) Firmly rooted in the classics, but with an eye towards some of the more odd performances (see avatar).
I was raised on the classic rock stuff, so I've got a healthy appreciation for that. I've also been getting more into the indie-rock scene lately (college radio stations are the best option when there's nothing interesting on NPR). I can never remember the names of the bands, but I'm always pleasantly surprised.

I have recently become a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Quite a shock for a Northeastern liberal intellectual elitist like myself.
The weather is a good deal nicer, though.

I don't know the Apocrypha very well (and by that I mean I know nothing beyond the fact that some books exist that various councils left out of the canon), but there were a couple of OT Enochs, the first being the son of Cain (Genesis 4:17).
That's about as deep as I go, theologically. I strongly prefer the more reason-based morality systems.
