Author has written 38 stories for General, Life, Friendship, Essay, Romance, Love, General, Sci-Fi, and Play. I am not quite sure what to post on this profile, but custom seems to dictate that I should introduce myself in some non-identifying way. Therefore, my name is blank, I am blank years old, and I live in blank. Feel free to fill the blanks any way you prefer- your version is guaranteed to be more interesting than the truth. However, if you actually have an interest in my life (and I don't blame you if you don't), or you're just really bored, here are some facts about me. 1) I like reading and writing. Unique and completely not obvious, right? 2) I do Karate. I'm not that good at it, but I'd like to think I'm improving. 3) I once rode in the back of a vegetable cart in Beijing, and later in the same day sprained my ankle running down the Great Wall of China. 4) I remember sequences by assigning them relative pitches in my head. 5) I am an agnostic, but prefer to consider myself a Pastafarian Sparrowist. For information, see http://www.srcf.ucam.org/sparrowism/home/ 6) I am a "flaming liberal." 7) I am interested in physics (especially cosmology, no, not cosmetology) and psychology. 8) I love xkcd. If you're not familiar with xkcd, you should be. http://xkcd.com/ 9) I can draw trees without leaves, basic geometric shapes, and the same horses that I drew when I was in 3rd grade. That's it. So, in other words, I don't have a deviantart. 10) My inner editor is horrified that 8 of the 9 above statements begin with the same word, and my conscience is horrified that the word is "I". There's nothing like grammatically unexciting self-centeredness, except perhaps all of society. Favorite...
