Writing. This year I was published and won second place in Baily's Beads, a local literary magazine for my piece Qui Desiderat Pacem, Praeparat Bellum.
I love to program video games, and right now I have an internship with a web development company: www.protocol80.com
Additionally, I've begun to use Ubuntu linux on an old PC of mine. I like playing video games, and making them even more.

About me:
I'm a writing major at UPB, with a minor in CS. I have an internship for the moment developing web pages and writing content for them. I'm engaged. I have a sense of humor, I'm conservative, Christian (eee gast, the "christian right"). I see things in a different light than you might expect, whether you're conservative or liberal, I'm bound to piss you off, so you're best off either listening to what I have to say, or not discussing politics/relgion.
If you believe that this is all pretentious, then I challange you to tell me what you believe. Is the telling of one's opinion the manifestation of pretentious behavior, or is the realization that all men must make up their own minds true enlightenment?
Who I'd like to meet: Most of the people I'd like to meet are dead. See my heros for a few living ones.
