I always hate it when web pages make you wade through ages of boring personal info before you can get to the good stuff (BAD jokes archive, follow this link). You can imagine that I was somewhat horrifed to find that my original webpage did just that. So, I moved it all here. I think that if I ever do add a real hit counter to this page, I wont put a separate one here.
(Since I can't post a picture, as per my "graphics free" thing, I have
to do that instead)
(Actually, as long as the art page is here, bop over and check out
my picture, I'll wait right here)
In the interests of helping the universe understand me better, I have helpfully posted this list of 100 Little Known Facts About Me. Due to the time that has passed since the creation of that list, this list seemed a necessity. Similarly, review of that list made this truly mandatory reading.
I'm single, but that's probably none of your buisness.
True Story: I was coming back to the dorm my freshman year at about 9 pm (well after dark) with a few friends and my flip down shades on to compliment my hat and jacket. I was waling with somewhat of a spring in my step, in an attempt to "walk cool", as per my firend's orders. And I GET WHISTLED AT OUT OF THE WINDOW! (Direct quote: "Strut your stuff, baby!!") It's true, flip down shades are the coolet thing on the planet! They make you so cool, people can't contain themselves! (And the people here are pathetic.)
Computer games take up a lot more of my free time than I would care to admit. I'm a big fan of adventure-style games(I quite literally grew up on Zork), and space flight sims, or just about anything by LucasArts. Becasue I think the internet needs one more controvrsy, I'm tempted to start a survey, voting for best game of all time, but I'm not sure if I really want to die that young. (E-mail me to tell me what you think) As long as we're on the subject, check out my back page on Interactive Fiction.
My other main hobby (athough my cousins say it's more like an obsession), is writing stories. I mostly write science fiction, although sometimes I get bored and do something else. This paragraph is a little self-serving, since I haven't actually had anything published yet, but I'm having fun, and people say that I'm actually pretty good, so who cares. The bums keep trying ot get me to post in on the 'net too...
Bad jokes. Back during High School, I was a constant stream of bad jokes, as the mental scars of my classmates show. Sadly, I could only rememebr a few jokes at a time, so I decided to establish the BAD Jokes Archive. There's probably a better joke archive on the 'net, but oh well. At least now my page has a little more zing to it.
I also like to read, hike, and play with my cats.
Watch this space for more cool things about me. Coming up soon, maybe a resume (I mean every other person on the 'net has one, why not me?)
Gosh, this guy sounds neat! Maybe I'll E-Mail him!
