About The Author:
Me? I attend Virginia Tech. My majors are Computer Science and Communications. I have yet to declare a minor, but when I do it'll probably be math (GAG!). I detest math. BLEH. With CS, though, it's pretty much a freebie, and hence, I'll be stuck taking it forever and ever until I die (can you sense my enthusiasm?). Anyway, I absolutely LOVE FK, but I also enjoy Lois and Clark and I'm also a total Star Wars freak. If you ask me to quote the whole entire trilogy, I probably could, line for line. Recently, I've also become obsessed with Angel too. If you're not obsessed with it too, you should be -- it's well worth a view or two or gazillion.
Let's see. More about me? I absolutely love computer gaming. Although Quake has to be my favorite classic deathmatch game, you have to try out Quake 3. I've not run into such a 'nice-feeling' game in a long time. The physics are just right. You'll have to play it to understand :) Anyway, anything first-person-shooter is a guaranteed way to win my heart. I've upgraded my computer so much for gaming purposes that the only original component is probably... well ok, the original computer is dead and gone (and it's only been a year since I bought it!). Just last year I swapped in a new motherboard and a brand-spanking-new 3d accelerator, so the only components left that are original are the monitor and the floppy drive. Believe it or not, my upgrade list already include a motherboard, 3d-accelerator, and more good stuff... It NEVER ends!
Gee, what else? I love sports, I was on the varsity basketball team in high school. I played center... (I'm really tall). This year, I did intramurals, and was captain of my team. We got pretty high up on the ladder before we got deep-sixed. In addition to basketball, I love to play soccer and I do a lot of horseback riding too. I had a great thoroughbred mare named Upiddy. She was FAST. Perfect for those bareback gallops through the woods! And before that was Bozo, the silly white horse who wouldn't behave... Anyway, enough of that!
Music is also one of my passions. I listen to music every chance I get, I love it! I think I've acquired somewhere around 250 CDs, probably making it my second most expensive hobby (my first being computer gaming). My favorite groups are Front Line Assembly (if you haven't heard them, you're really missing out!), Nine Inch Nails, and Boston. As you may have noticed, I'm basically an Industrial Rock / Hard Rock person. However, I like pretty much anything you could possibly think of from Beethoven to the Beastie Boys. I also love to compose music for the piano and various instruments. The few compositions that I've managed to finish are available for download in midi format in the music section in case you're interested.
