I am '''Nurmsook''', [[Bachelor's degree|B.]][[Sport management|S.M.]], an Estonian-Canadian [[Sport management|sport]] [[Event management|event manager]]. I am a die-hard [[Vancouver Canucks]] fan and generally support everything [[Pacific Northwest]]. I am an avid [[Running|runner]], specializing in [[half marathon]]s, although I hope to jump into more [[marathon]]s and [[triathlon]]s one of these days. I am the proud owner of a six-year old [[Mongrel|mut]] <small>''([[Border Collie]]/[[German Shepherd]]/[[Siberian Husky]] mix [[Boron|named]] [[Aluminium|after]] [[Oxygen|four]] [[Uranium|elements]])''</small>. I have a passion for [[airport]]s and [[Stadium|stadia]] and have listed those that I have visited below. I have an [[Phobia|irrational fear]] of the action of rubbing a [[carpet]]; this is likely the strangest thing about me.

I began my tenure as a Wikipedia editor on June 8, 2005 with an [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vernon,_British_Columbia&diff=prev&oldid=14862459 edit] of [[Vernon, British Columbia‎]]. My main Wikipedia focus is on [[ice hockey]]-related articles; I am a proud member of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey|ice hockey <s>mafia</s> gang]]. My focus there is primarily on biography, [[college ice hockey]], and Vancouver Canucks articles. Outside of that WikiProject, I tend to edit articles of things I have an attachment to, such as articles related to areas in which I have lived. According to [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits/5001–6000|this list]] and [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by article count|this list]], I have too much free time. My complete edit statistics can be found [http://toolserver.org/~tparis/pcount/index.php?name=nurmsook&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia here].
