I'm a Senior at the Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington. Although I'm passionately opinionated on most topics, I'm slightly shy in person. I'm working towards getting my first novel published. I'm idealistic, and try to help whenever I can. I draw, write, and program in my spare time between classes.

I wrote my first computer game at the age of seven, and after I get my novel published I'm planning on blending some of my passions for writing, drawing, and programming together to create a computer role-playing game.

My passion is ...

Writing

I know too much about ...

Computers

My parents always told me ...

A lot of things I wish I had listened to

My childhood ambition ...

Make a difference

My favorite memory ...

Too many to choose from. Try to be more specific. :3

Why I write ...

Because it's not there.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

The helium website, at the moment

My first job ...

Was far from satisfactory. Aren't they always?

My inspiration ...

The moon.
