''I am going on indefinite break to replenish my energy reserves and to focus my creativity and diligence onto other projects. We must also not forget the exams. I will check in from time to time to make sure all is well, but mostly, I will be gone. It might be some time before you hear from me again, but then again, forget it. For reasons unknown to me. A bit confusing, eh? I'll just leave it at that then. See you soon - I hope. - [[User:JMBell|JM]][[User_talk:JMBell|Bell]][[Special:Contributions/JMBell|°]]

<span style="font-family:EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt; font-size:large">I am J'''ames '''M'''axwell '''B'''ell'''. I was born some years ago in New York, but now live in Princeton, New Jersey. I have a good sense of humor (which I like to call my "sixth sense") and good common sense. My writing skills are somewhat unused, my last "great" work having been writing more than 2 years ago. My reading skills... well, that's a different story. I find practical jokes funny (kinda), but respect the feelings of the poor victim.</span>

<!--<h3><span style="font-family:EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt Bold">Quote of the Month/Week/Day</span></h3>

:<span style="font-family:Palatino Linotype; color:red"><big>"'''ALEA IACTA EST'''"</big></span>
::''([[Latin]]: The die is cast.)''
:- '''[[Julius Caesar]]''', then general of the [[Roman Republic]], upon crossing the river [[Rubicon]] with his legions, leading to the [[civil war]] which eventually led to the fall of the Republic and the rise of the [[Roman Empire]]-->
<!--===Studies===
I have studied (or am studying):
*'''English Basics''' (i.e. '''Grammar''', '''R. & L. comprehension''') to the fullest,
*'''English Literature''' to an extent,
*'''Ancient History''' (esp. Ancient '''Egypt''', Greece, and Rome, as well as the Phoenicians, Babylonians, Chinese, Britons, Mayans, etc.),
*'''Medieval History''' (esp. the Crusades),
*'''Mathematics''' (Alg. and Geom. until beginning calculus; have won 2 awards already in state math competitions),
*'''Classical Physics''' (to be continued),
*'''Quantum Physics''' (beginning),
*'''Astronomy''' ('''not''' astrology),
*'''Geography''' (quite good),
*'''Geology''' (also quite good),
*'''Theology''' (always looking for people I can discuss this with),
*'''Art''' (sculpture; paintings, a little),
*'''German''' (lived in Germany for a couple of years, "very good" Deutsch, said they),
*'''Latin''' (obligatory in Germany, still taking this up here),
*'''Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs''' (self-studied),
*and of course, '''Music''' (which is one of my multiple future careers and so far the most promising).

An '''award''' to anybody who can '''guess my age''' and '''my instrument'''!

===Accent===
American, but not strong. I can imitate '''British''', '''Scottish''', '''Spanish''', or '''Italian''' accents very well. Am. or Brit. spelling is all the same to me.-->
<h3><span style="font-family:EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt Bold; font-size:large">Projects</span></h3>
<span style="font-family:EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt; font-size:large">On Wikipedia, I seek to improve the conditions that the everyday men and women face, which the Nobles do not do, simply because they have no balls. I specialize in diplomacy, peacekeeping, and informal arbitration. So far, I have successfully mediated one heated debate, namely between [[User:Nanshu|Nanshu]] and [[User:Mel Etitis|the Irish Greek]] on the topic of [[Nanyang]], and am now helping steer the [[Tsushima Islands]] debate to calmer waters. This debate is an offshoot of the [[User:Mr Tan|Messr. Tan]] problem: a certain Messr. Tan, around 14 years old, is trying to find his place in the real world, and unfortunately chose the Kingdom of En to practice his newly-found skills. I am one of many trying to give him advice and make him listen to it.</span>

<span style="font-family:EngrvrsOldEng Bd Bt Bold; font-size:large">Many other debates go unsolved; I seek to find them and free the debators from the oppression of hostility.</span>
