March 2nd, 1988, a nice cold day outside of Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto Ontario, Ares Hadjis was born. He seemed back then to be a normal child. How wrong they were.

       During the first years of his life he learned to walk and talk, two key elements in the game that is life. He learned Greek and English and he speaks both those languages today.

       During his first five years of school he was at Secord. There he indulged on many crayons and erasers, threw markers across the class and got bullied. They determined him to be Gifted and sent him away.

       The Gifted life had now begun for Ares, who thought it cool to take a schoolbus to school for a change. There he made friends with his classmates, some of which he still knows this very day. After two years at Presteign Ares served the full three years at Gordon A. Brown Middle School. It is there he started to play the French Horn, stick things up his nose and like the show Full House. After an emotional departure, Ares came to Danforth Collegiate and Technical Institute. There he made a whole new set of friends and continued to stick bigger things up his nose. Grade 10 now, where Irma has risen from the ashes of his imagination to make this site, to entertain, well, he certainly hopes Irma entertains anyway... During Grade 12, Ares managed to produce the 400th Irma on top of many assignments and extra-curricular activities. It was time for Ares and Irma to move on.

       Now in University, at the magnificent University of Toronto, Ares continues to put time on the Irma site. This is a hobby to pass the time when there doesn't seem to be anything to do. Who knows how long the Irma comics will last, let's just enjoy the ride. What is Ares up to now? He eats, watches television and studies. Such an exciting life! How does he do it? He attributes his success to water. Without water you die.
