Well, this is it. I am creating my own blog. Hi.
OK, so let's start with me. I now live in Tempe, Arizona, and am thoroughly loving it. Even the summer desert heat, in fact I miss it now that it's bone-chilling 70 farenheit outside. The last place I lived was Iowa. There's about two weeks of nice weather in Iowa, one of them usually sometime in late April and the other in early October. The rest is either too warm, too cold, too humid, too snowy, too icy, with too many tornados going around, but most of the time it's all of the above within a week's period.
They say in Iowa, "If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes." I say, "What's the fucking point, you won't like it then either!" You have to move, or something.
I go to Arizona State University, where I came because of the Arts, Media and Engineering program. Well, that and they offered me an assistantship. And, I get to be a Sun Devil. The alternative was Ohio State University, about which I was really excited but didn't get an assistantship. So, I didn't get to be a Buckeye. God, I always wanted to be a .. buckeye.
My academic focus is computer science, but what I really like to do is pretend to be a dancer. I just finished my first two performances in Arizona - one was "A Vampire Tale" by Lisa Starry, performed with Scorpius Dance Theatre, and the other was "Just an Experiment" by AJ Niehaus, performed at the ASU Graduate Showings. I was kind of nervous about what people would think about my performing. Fortunately, I received a lot of good feedback and am now relieved, if not exuberant.
One of my favorite moments this week was when I said "I tried menstrual pills with wine once." and people thought it was funny.
