I'm a sophomore at Georgia Tech majoring in Computational Media, a brother of a rather peculiar co-ed fraternity, a big fan of eccentric media, and a strong proponent of individuality. Video games and music are my passions. I much prefer the deep story-driven experience of single player games to the gregariousness of multiplayer games (no WoW, Halo, or Call of Duty for me). My musical talents are very limited (I play a bit of bass), but I listen to music at nearly every waking hour. At GT, I am in a student art group (more detail below), the GT Pokemon League, I occasionally participate in events with the anime club (anime otekku), student political organizations, and I participated in fencing for about 2 weeks before numerous schedule conflicts convinced me to put it off for now.

I attend AWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta) every year, and have been to Dragon Con and Momocon.

I hope to get at least one tattoo sometime soon. At the moment I'm thinking about getting something GT-related, a dual tattoo of Vic Rattlehead and the Vortex skull, Atlas, a giant squid fighting the Grim Reaper, something Zelda-related, or something more general Nintendo-related.

I hate being stationary for long periods of time. I regularly go on random walks and wander through the woods (at home) or Atlanta (at school).

I'm currently living with TheStupidBoy and two other guys, and antipeace spends a good amount of time at my apartment.

I hope to one day bicycle to California, either by my own effort or by being tied to the back of a hippie van.

I'm a sophomore at Georgia Tech majoring in Computational Media, a Teaching Assistant for a programming class, a founding member and the secretary of GOURD Visual Artists, a student art group at GT, and a gym leader of the GT Pokemon League. I'm currently learning how to use Processing, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash and may be forming a band composed entirely of musicians who are terrible with their instruments.

how much the media and many politicians irritate me
more noteworthy political issues than the aforementioned
worthless superpowers, such as the ability to make a person contemplate the number 2.

putting the final touches on a project or hanging out with my friends, which usually entails watching a movie and/or playing video games or Munchkin. Occasionally I will go to concerts or hang out in Little Five Points.

I actually prefer Chinese Democracy over older Guns 'n Roses albums.
Seriously though, it depends upon how comfortable I am with the questioner. I'm a relatively open person, and will probably answer whatever questions I receive.

If you want to. That's a pretty good reason in my book.
