About Me

Well, if you can see my bachground, you've probably thought I like one of two things, either computers or writing. If you guessed the latter, then you'd be right. Writing is definitely a favorite activity of mine--I've written two books in my series called The Legend of the Staff, one of which is currently in the process of having it's copyright registered. I actually have my own website that talks about the series. I also enjoy writing stories with others on my forum . You should check it out sometime. I find it interesting how different people bring different things to a story, oftentimes completely changing the direction you thought the story should go.
While writing is big, there's one thing that definitely tops that as my favorite use of time, and that would be spending time with my girlfriend. For those keeping track, we've been going out officially since October 3, 2006. She's an amazing girl--she's a lot of fun to be around and has a sense of humor which seems to fit me perfectly most of the time. I could go on and on about her good qualities, as there are many, but for the sake of space and not boring you all to death I won't.
As fun as it is being with my girlfriend, after the semester is over I plan to go serve a mission for my church. It'll be a lot of work, but I'm already sure it'll be worth it.
Other things I like to do... Well, I enjoy swing dancing (though I'm not very good--yet), and hopefully I'll be able to attend many of the free weekly lessons provided by the BYU Swing Kids Club.
In addition to all of the things I like doing solo or just with my wonderful girlfriend, I actually DO like hanging out with other guys. You'd be amazed at how many nerds there are on my floor--but don't be fooled, as these are some of the coolest, most hilarious nerds you'll ever meet. I mean, these guys can make being nerdy seem fun to a lot of people. So I like to hang out with them, and back in Idaho I hang out with Peter, aka-Luigi, where we talk about the Greys, feti, Grey feti, and various other things. I also enjoy CS and Half-Life LANs back in Idaho, and that's definitely one of the things I miss most. Well, that, and hanging out with one of my other best friends, Daniel.
After reading that I enjoy LANs, it's probably obvious that I like video games. Specifically I enjoy Nintendo games. Yes, I do have a Wii, and yes, it is awesome.
Aside from "mindless" video games, I also am very interested in Mathmatics and Physics (except mechanics). In fact, my major at BYU is in Physics, and I plan to double major in Math. Both subjects are very enjoyable, and I especially look forward to combining the two when I further my education so I can be a particle physicist.
Well, that's about it. Any more questions? Feel free to ask!

Heroes:

Here's a shout out for my favorite Calc teacher ever: Mr. Suk (pronounced Sooooooooooooooooook). So why is he my hero? Well, a few little stories may clear that up. A-hem:
Story numba 1
Okay, so today (March 3, '06), Mr. Suk is telling us about how five of his little Algebra kids had been yapping on, so he went and stood in front of them as his hint that they should stop talking (which usually works). Well, he currently had a pen in his hand and he dropped it. Of course, the freshmen, being freshmen, started laughing about it so Mr. Suk just kinda sulked off, leaving the pen on the ground. It was only later as the little n00bs were distracted that Mr. Suk "discretely" bent over and picked up the pen.
Story numero 2
Alright, here's where you hind out how story numba one was revealed. So today (Still the 3rd) Mr. Suk had just been explaining something to us and tried to pointedly put the pen on the tray of the whiteboard. To his demise, however, he kind of let go a little too early and the pen fell the ground. Poor, poor Mr. Suk...
