About Me

I'm not much more than an absolute dork. I'm studying Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois with hopes to graduate at some point or another. I'm more of a night owl than a morning guy, as I'm sure my blog post times will indicate. I'm generally proactive, and I don't like to beat around the bush.

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
