ow! I can't believe anybody actually wants to see what I have to say! Well, since you're here, Heres my 2 cents on many of the things I do.
Enjoy, if you want to have something to talk to me about, just check out these pages to see what I have to say.
The School
I went to high school at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland. I
got my diploma in June of 1996 . Now, I attend the
University of Washington (in Seattle). I am now a Computer Science Major with
a heavy interest in graphics. Class of 2000!
People that I Like
My Friends get their own web page. They are an eclectic group of people that
I somehow connect with, and also have pictures of.

Sports that I like:
If it's a nice, sunny day in Seattle (happens once in a while), In-line
Skating is where I can be found. I can usually get to go about
once a week. Many people think these things are unstable,
and get discouraged after painfully falling repetitively. I personally
am as comfortable wearing skates as I am
wearing shoes. I don't fall very often anymore, although It does happen
from time to time. Once at a skatepark in Belleview I miffed it hard
on one of their big half pipes. 2 stitches (and $400) later I was
skating again. Usually I just use my skates to get around and to explore
new places. They are great for seeing new cities. One day, I'd like
to skate across the country.
If it's a cold, wintery weekend in Seattle, Skiing is where
I aim to be. Reality Check: I'm waking up and trudging to classes in the
rain. The biggest East Coast resort I've ever been to is at Killington,
VT. I Learned to ski at WISP, in western MD, and have skied all
around the DC area. (Liberty, Whitetail, Timberline, WISP, Seven Springs,
Poconos, Greek Peak, etc)
I now ski mostly in the west. I was a season pass holder at Snoqualmie Pass in 2000!
$200 for skiing once or twice a week is a pretty good deal.
Also I've been to Stevens Pass, Mt Baker, and Mt Hood(In July). If you go to
Mt Baker, be sure to do the Canyon trail. It's hard to find, but it's really cool. Soon, someday,
I'm going to hit Whistler. Catch me in action!
You won't find me doing this, but target archery is a sport
that I had lots of fun doing in the past, at camp. I love the silent
Swoosh of the arrow as it flys through the air and the twack you hear when
the target gets hit. If I had a bow, I think I'd really get into this
sport.
Non sports that I like
It's too wet to go out and too cold
to play ball, I sat in the house and did nothing at
all!...
Except Read. I like to
read books when I'm bored. I enjoy fantasy and sci-fi best of all. The
best books I've ever read were the Wheel of Time series by Robert
Jordan. The first book in the series is
The Eye of the World. If you
read fantasy, this is a must read. To brag: I got his Path of Daggers
Book (book 8)... Signed.
Hiking is a very cool thing to do. The Northwest is nice because it has alot of
huge parklands, mountains and natural vistas. Such things include
Multnomah Falls, OR in the Columbia River Gorge.
Also, another great destination in Oregon, The coast.
We got some especially awesome pictures on that trip. Also highly recommended is Wallace
Falls, outside of Gold Bar (Where is that?), WA. Didn't have a camera this time, but the
park was really nice and there is some great views with impressive falls.
I have backpacked parts of areas like the Appalation Mountains. The scenery is so picturesque,
I Hope one day to hike the whole thing. In the winter, camping is something that's
really cool to do (or at least downright cold). Did you know I'm an
Eagle scout too?
I like cats too. There is almost nothing better than a soft, purring kitty cat on ones
lap. I used to live in the house of 3 fine kitty cats myself.
Albert, Victoria, and
Travis. I don't really like Dogs,
They are too big and scruffy.
I play piano too. I like pianos because they are so easy
to play, and yet so complex. I have been playing off & on for about 5 years, And learned to read
music 10 years ago. Unfortunitly, I didn't really get serious until about 2 years ago. Many of
the pieces I play are from the musical Le Miserabe. I also like to play "Somewhere,
Over the Rainbow" from the Wizard of Oz. With a little (ok alot) practice I can play them pretty well.
There's two more things that I
: Macs & girls, but not necessarily
in that order.
